Aging
and Skin Moisturizers
Time magazine has reported that there may be some solid science
behind claims that skin creams help keep your skin looking young,
but there is no solid scientific evidence that
non-prescription skin creams help to prevent thinning and
wrinkling.
Some of the creams that are advertised to help prevent
wrinkling may actually cause it. Many Alpha Hydroxy, Estrogen and
Retin-A creams rely on exfoliation to reverse or counter the aging
process. These creams actually peel off the outer layer of skin to
make the skin appear more shiny. Many women who use them get a
peel and redness that is not flattering. Evidently constant
application of creams may strip off the protective keratin layer
that covers the skin, increase fluid loss and actually
increase wrinkling.
Eleven separate studies have shown that estrogen creams thicken
the skin and help to prevent wrinkling, but you can get estrogen
cream only by prescription. The data shows that the best ways to
prevent wrinkles are avoidance of sunlight, smoking, harsh winds and
non-prescription, exfoliating facial creams.
