We "look old" because of wrinkles, lines, skin blotchiness, age-spots, loss of skin radiance, sagging skin (a big one), "feather" lips, under-eye puffiness (a dead give-away), crow's feet and thinning lips. On a biological level, skin-aging is caused by: free-radical damage, changes in fat content of skin, changes in skin collagen, dehydration, DNA changes, degradation of the elastin polypeptides and certain disorders in the packing of the lipid matrix of the skin.

In short, any anti-aging skin care cream, that doesn't attack ALL the problems (tell-tale signs as well as biological changes) associated with skin-aging has no hope other than being an ineffective quick-fix...a band-aid on a bullet wound, so to speak. Anyone who tells you differently is L-Y-I-N-G.

Shockingly though (and despite it being scientifically possible), almost NO topical anti-wrinkle cream made by the fat-cat cosmetic companies attacks ALL the "tell-tale signs" or "biological changes" associated with aging-skin. (You might want to read that again)

I guess, they "expect" us to slather our faces with 10 to 15 different anti-aging creams at once, each tackling a "different" biological cause of facial-aging? For example, one cream for fighting free-radical damage, one for collagen depletion and so on and so forth... But wait! Then they expect us to buy a moisturizer, firming serum, under-eye cream, anti-wrinkle cream, night cream, day cream, age-spot reducer and so on... and slather all these creams on our faces at once. And finally, after we've almost ended up selling the farm to buy this stuff, they "say" we have a "chance" to look young.

Listen up: I've got news for you. The way anti-wrinkle & anti-aging skin care cosmetics are sold right now, unless women are determined to spend the rest of their lives applying 20 to 30 creams (everyday) on their faces...each tackling a different problem associated with skin-aging...they are without much hope. And I believe, if someone does have that kind of determination and time (no matter how filthy rich they are), they don't have a life, are clinically insane and should be admitted to a mental asylum immediately!

Wrinkles are categorized either as fine surface lines or those deep furrows. Wrinkles usually appear on said parts of the body because these are the regions that constantly get exposed to the sun's UV rays. The harmful UV rays dry the skin, particularly for people born with a lighter skin tone that easily gets damaged with prolonged exposure to heat. The skin tends to lose moisture whenever our hides get a tantamount of beating from the sun's heat to result in the formation of wrinkles.

While solar heat induces wrinkle formation, there are about a dozen other factors often overlooked, that likewise contributes to this skin disorder. Would you believe that certain hairstyles and even the clothes that we wear could stimulate wrinkle formation? Some hairstyles leave the face and neck directly exposed to the sun. On the other hand, frequent wear of sleeveless tops puts the arms and shoulder in direct contact with the sun's UV rays.

Going to those tanning salons is a sure way to get wrinkle spots as well. Sporting a tan look definitely has its perks, but frequent tanning will eventually merit you the appearance of visible lines on your face. Smoking is another contributor to wrinkle formation since a nicotine habit deliberately dries the skin. Moreover, stress could be linked to the development of premature wrinkles since recurring stress lets a person habitually contract those facial muscles and the stretches become more visible in time.

Wrinkles however do not just inflict women but also men. Women are by nature more vain than men and thus would easily notice unlikely skin formation. Nevertheless, the media hype put into skin care has persuaded a number of men to get on the cosmetics bandwagon. Does this mean that wrinkle formation is not in any way related to aging?

Well, it still is! At the age of 40, it is but normal for wrinkles to appear on the face. Yet, it is sad to know that some people, even at the young age of 25 can already contract wrinkles. To some, it is hereditary and as a matter of genetic configuration, their skin cells do not reproduce as fast as it should. Thus, more dead and dull cells form on the upper layer of the skin that trigger the appearance of thin lines on the corners of the eyes and along the laugh lines of the face. Others simply suffer from hormonal imbalances and constant weight gain or loss sag the skin. When the skin loosens up, wrinkles become evident. Continued Below!

Many people put much premium on the upkeep of a youthful appearance even as they age. Admit it, but wouldn't you want to preserve a young and healthy skin tone even past the age of 40? Yet before you can achieve this, due knowledge on the nature of human skin and wrinkle formation as well will surely help you start on a skin regimen that will avert you from the abovementioned wrinkling agents.
