Selecting the Best Anti Aging Creams or Lotions


Selecting the Best Anti Aging Creams or Lotions by Loretta Rogers



Scientists agree that there are three popular theories that may explain aging. The Genetic Theory sates that all humans have a genetic driven clock that will go off.


The next widely-accepted theory of aging is the "Free Radical Theory" that says that the body's inability to maintain a supply of free radicals as it ages greatly affects aging itself, and the "Hormonal Theory" that blames menopausal, andropausal, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases for early aging because these conditions are believed to be indirect results of the body's reduction of hormone production.


Anti aging creams seem to be the most trusted way of fighting aging. When looking at the shelves in different beauty or wellness stores, the shelf space devoted to anti aging products proves this to be true.


Aside from anti-aging cream's invasion to these stores, they are also heavily marketed and advertised on magazines, TV, radio and even over the World Wide Web bearing the promise of making the potential buyer achieve a youthful skin with reduced wrinkles and eliminated fine lines on the skin.


Before the essence of globalization and commercialization became a worldwide hit, anti-aging creams have been marketed and targeted only for women. But after the industry of beauty and wellness opened its doors to men, more and more products and services were also created specifically for them. Among these products are anti-aging creams that are specially formulated and created for them.


In order to be able to select the proper products for your skin, you must know what your skin type is. Different skin types require different ingredients. Take the time to learn what your skin type is.


Aging of the skin can be caused by dirt and oil. If your skin ages due to oil or dirt, choose and anti aging cream that reduces free radicals. Another cause of aging is the deterioration of collagen. If your skin lacks collagen, opt for a cream that aids in the restoration of collagen. There are many various products available in cream, water-based, or capsule form.

Make sure that you make a rough estimate of the money you're planning to spend. If you're on a tight budget, don't buy products that are quite expensive because the best anti-aging creams or lotions are not necessarily expensive. Price does not assure quality.
Make sure that you pay a visit to your doctor or to a dermatologist first before buying a anti-aging creams or products for that matter so he or she can give you advice.
