Wrinkle prevention?

I am almost 30, and while my face has no visible wrinkles, i want to stay looking young. Are there any creams that work for combination skin? A lot of products tend to break me out...





Most creams I see in the stores are for people that want to "reduce the appearance of wrinkles"...I want to prevent them, but I also don't want to put harsh chemicals on my face that is going to cause me to age.





what about creme de la mer? is it all its hyped up to be? I would never dream of spending that kind of money but if it was that great i would certainly think about it.





Advice ladies my age and older?

Wrinkle prevention?
Retin-a.
Reply:The best advice is don't sunbathe. Don't even use tanning booths. I'm 48, but I've always had young looking skin. That's probably because it was always oily. If your skin is naturally oily, you might not wrinkle for a long time. If it's dry, use any moisturizer your skin can tolerate. If it's too heavy, then mix it with a little warm water, then rinse it off (like a conditioner).





I don't have any wrinkles! Yay! Now gray hair, that's another story....
Reply:I'm not your age but I know the #1 way to prevent preventable wrinkles. It's sunscreen. Use SPF 30 every day. Your skin wrinkles due to a break down of collagen in the skin (DEEP in the skin). There are two ways the collagen breaks down: 1)genetics/aging and 2)sun damage. I have friends who are younger than you who are already getting bad wrinkles. In fact my one friend has more wrinkles than his older brother and consequently LOOKS older! The reason is because my friend regularly uses a tanning bad (UV rays from a light bulb) and his older brother slathers on the sun screen and gets a spray tan (tinted moisturizers). So bulk up on the SPF baby!

Wrinkles are caused due to :





Old age // Rapid weight loss // lower immunity against infections // UVA %26amp; UVB rays // wind,heat and chemicals // smoking...





Treatment :


Daily moisturizing creams, including those with hydroxy acids as well as sunscreen (SPF 15 or greater).





It is difficult to repair deeply furrowed skin that appears with photoaging, but thinner wrinkles, dark spots, and rough skin may be improved with the use of topical medications. Over the counter creams containing retinol or glycolic acid may help or aggressive prescription acid creams or peels, or, prescribe stronger retinoids such as Retin A (tretinoin) or Tazorac (tazarotene.)





Botox (botulinum toxin) may soften the appearance of wrinkles caused by squinting or grimacing. Collagen or hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Hyalaform, Captique), may be injected under wrinkles or folds to elevate them.





Lasers may also be used to minimize wrinkles. Non-ablative (or “lunchtime”) lasers do not break the skin and have minimal side effects, but, are also not very effective. More aggressive lasers such as the carbon dioxide laser may remove deeper wrinkles but require several weeks of healing after a treatment.





Finally, for excessively deep wrinkles or folds, a facelift may be used. This surgical procedure is expensive and invasive, but, may also produce excellent results.





I could write more but if u need more detailed answer do write to me...
Reply:I'm 27 and the best thing I do is use sunscreen everyday. Yea, it can be a pain but the number one cause of premature again is sun damage. When you're 40 it'll be well worth it!


I've tried a slue of facial creams and have sensitive skin, you may want to try a 'serum' because those a lighter than a heavy cream and will be less apt to make you break out. Sometimes it's just trial and error. If you're concerned you can always visit a dermatologist and get specific recommendations.
Reply:Rastafarian's answer is great, I think you should learn a lot from that answer. Anyway, my three recommended products you should use are: SPF, hydroxy acids (AHA/BHA) and retinoid.


SPF, because UV rays cause aging. Hydroxy acids because they exfoliate the dead skin cells to reveal smoother skin underneath. And retinoids are the most popular anti-aging medication, and the retinoid product that's most popular is Green Cream. Check it out in www.greencream.com :)


Oh and nothing beats educating yourself as much as possible about different products and their respective ingredients and uses so you will gradually know what works for your skin.
Reply:I am 29 and I know what you mean about wanting to stay young I have tried every product out there pratically from Loreal, maybelline, avon, Estee lauder, Clinique, Mac, lancome, etc, until someone introduced me to Arbonne products and so far they are great..the good thing about Arboone is there are no chemicals and harsh ingredients that can damage your skin ...they are made from natural resources..... I had a reaction to the NYC bronser so it left little red spots on my face and I am putting their Conditioning Oil and it is helping heal my skin. If you are not 30 yet than i would recommend using the Intelligence Line and you can also use the Anti-Aging Line I am using a few of their items.
