Very interesting-some moisturizers can enhance aging, what are the products, just so I can avoid them?
Classic preventions are hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Also, wearing sunscreen (even in the winter and on cloudy days because UVA rays penetrate through even the thickest of clouds) or a moisturizer with sunscreen, don't touch your face i.e. resting your face on your hand. Take vitamins i.e. C, E, A, which are antioxidants that help combat free radicals (which increase aging internally and externally). Lastly, this may be unconventional to putting any cream on your face, but instead of rubbing it on your face or smoothing it with your hands, take moisturizer in your hands and pat your entire face, it is just like dabbing cream near your eyes to not aggravate wrinkles. What rubbing does over time is create mini wrinkles in your face because you recreate the same movements. Me being Asian, I have noticed that a lot of Asian women follow this procedure and my mother swears by it and frankly, for someone that is 50, her skin looks youthful. What I am currently using is moisturizer with SPF 15 and the Toner by Be Fine Food Skin Care. The toner has ginger and willow bark as their main ingredients. The moisturizer has rosemary, pomegranate and rice. It has natural properties and ya, my skin looks more "youthful" in a weird way it makes my skin look firmer and I can't notice a lot of the wrinkles on my face. I hope this helps!
