2. Naw,now pollyfilla THAT WORKS!
3. Some work better than others. A good organic moisturizer is a good idea.
4. good question I was wondering that too when I kept seeing Olay wrinkle-free creams. I think it just tightens your skin for a day a little. If it did work then I think it would be very expensive and nick named the fountain of youth.
5. erm... I dunno some work some dont. One thing i can recomend is natural Shea Butter. My whole family use it. We email naturesgifts29@yahoo.co.uk and ask for a pot. Its very good
6. I use it and am always complimented how smooth my skin looks !
7. Yes they do, the ones with alpha hydroxy acids, salicilic acid, or beta hydroxy acids do work by sloughing off the dead skin cells & bringing out the fresh new skin cells. Over time the tiny lines & wrinkles will diminish somewhat. I started using them when I was in my early 20's & I'm 39 & I don't have a wrinkle or line on my face & I have a fresh, clear, glowing complexion. The product I use is Alpha Hydrox. You can also use one of the home microdermabrasion systems sold at drug stores a couple times a week & that really helps. But most importantly use SUNSCREEN & never ever go into a tanning bed. 99% of wrinkles come from the sun, and the fairer your complexion the more damage you get from the sun, not to mention skin cancer which has increased signifigantly in recent years due to tanning beds. Good luck & few wrinkles to you.
8. Anti- Wrinkle creams do work. Try the May Bellene. It works well says my Grandma and her face shows that it works too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9. if you look at the wrinkle cream adverts with the same actress year after year, you see her get older looking and the camera get more soft-focus. They don't really work. Staying out of the sun, staying moisturised and being blessed with good genes, is what keeps the complexion young.
10. i use Mary Kay i've been using their products for 20 years I don't know if it helps prevent "wrinkles" but I found it's the best out there (I tried alot of store bought items....not the same)
11. the only think that actually works is a good surgery other wise than that grow old gracefully my dear
12. I buy moderately expensive anti wrinkle creams, and altho I was sceptical some really do work. (l'oreal collagen filler in particular) You can check out reviews by typing the name of the product you're interested in, into the search engine which are done by 'normal' consumers. if you do invest in decent creams it is also important to make sure you have a good cleanse, tone and moisturise routine, as by slacking in that area negates the good of the posh stuff.
13. You'll need to choose the good products and yes, some don't work. You also need to watch your diet and get a healthy balanced one as you are what you eat. If you have really dry skin, you are more prone to get wrinkles so try to avoid things that add up to drying your skin. More importantly, avoid the sun..... even if you put a lot of anti-wrinkle creams but get over exposed to the sun, you'll still end up with wrinkles. Try the more natural-based products that don't have harsh ingredients. I follow a 3 step skin care system that works well.
14. Scam. There's nothing that can help except a face-lift or a nip-tuck. Wearing sunscreen all the days of your life will help a lot. Let me add this: if they really work, why are there so many of them? And why do all the cosmetics companies continually make a cream that is supposed to be even better than the ones before? Don't the "old" ones work; the company claimed in its advertising that it would? Just something to think about.
15. hmmmmmmmmmmm. interesting question. I was totally against using such things on my face. However, I have been speaking with a few of my friends' mothers', who look amazing, and they swear by it. and say that they have been using it since 18yrs old....Im still quite sceptical about people using it that age, however, i think 26-28 is a good age to start prevention...
16. No but botox does, lol.
17. They are indeed scams. Use the liquid from your yogurt tub after you eat it.Best and natural and nobody gets our money for fooling us,
18. I've never used one (yet) but I've heard people say they do actually work.
19. i have been using retin a 0.025% so it's pure and incredibly strong the strongest stuff you can get. but after a couple of days it may start stinging and it will effectively peel your skin away in fine layers but you will be flakey till you get used to it and any irritation settles down. ive noticed that in 3 weeks of using it the winkles on my forehead have almost dissapeared. mind u if youre tanned it will strip it right off. and you have to use atleast factor15 so you dont get patchy pigmentation. its brilliant but you have to follow instructions carefully. it also gets rid of acne and blemishes, purple scars etc. get it from your GP or over internet as its prescription only. its Listed as an acne cure.
