Cheap VS Expensive Face Cream

Cheap VS Expensive Face Cream
Many wrinkle creams promise to reduce wrinkles and reverse aging – but do they work?

Over-the-counter (non prescription) wrinkle creams aren’t classified as drugs, and they’re not required to undergo scientific research to prove their effectiveness – so they can claim WHATEVER they want. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies creams and lotions as cosmetics, which are defined as having no medical value – so basically, anything sold over the counter by definition can’t really help you!

WHAT IS AGING
Collagen – stuff that makes up 75% of your skin and makes it elastic and youthful But around the ripe old age of 30 collagen production declines. When you loose the collagen structure of your bones, that’s osteoporosis. Of the skin, that’s wrinkles.
But some things can be done to make your skin look moderately more youthful – namey exfoliating to encourage new fresh smooth skin to come to the surface, and adding antioxidants to protect it and prevent further collagen breakdown.

Ingredients that are effective are:
ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants are substances that neutralize free radicals — unstable oxygen molecules that break down skin cells and cause wrinkles.

RETINOL
Retinol form of vitamin A, the first antioxidant to be widely used in nonprescription wrinkle creams
A more potent form of retinol, called tretinoin (sometimes sold under the brand name Retin-A), is available by prescription. Prescription-strength retinol products may cause more side effects like skin sensitivity.

VITAMIN C & E.
Other antioxidants, may help protect skin from sun damage. Before and between uses, wrinkle creams containing vitamin C must be stored in a way that protects them from air and sunlight.

EXFOLIANTS
• Hydroxy acids. Alpha hydroxy acids, citric acids, and poly hydroxy acids are exfoliants — substances that remove the upper layer of old, dead skin and stimulate the growth of smooth, evenly pigmented new skin. (speeding up the cycle of skin turnover)

PEPTIDES
Peptides are small proteins that help stimulate new cells to grow, which may help stimulate the replacement of collagen & elastin – makes your skin less saggy. They may be too big to penetrate deeply enough to be effective.

But your skins whole job is to keep shit out. Peptides generally need to be injected under the skin to be useful. Putting them on the surface is like pouring blood on someone who needs a blood tansfusion.

Even the fanciest creams are mostly just moisturizing and exfoliating. While the label may be full of words that sound complex and scientific, you’re likely just buying some excellent copyediting.

The truth is, any moisturizer, whether it costs or ,000, will temporarily plump the skin for a few hours by infusing it with moisture. When you stop using it, your skin returns to its normal dehydrated self. That’s because your blood only provides moisture to the skins middle layer, so if its hot and dry like a heated room in the depths of winter, your skin can dry out. A moisturizer will trap water in the skin and replenish what is lost. The cheaper creams work just as well, so don’t feel bad about sticking with sunscreen and an affordably priced moisturizer.

Serums generally speaking do not lock moisture in, are water based, and are better at penetrating to get the active ingredients into the skin.

So – get yourself a good serum, then apply a good moisturizer with UV protection, and you’re good to go!
