A couple dabs of makeup, like concealer and foundation, can help smooth over signs of aging. Unfortunately, that doesn't correct the actual problem. Regular use of an anti-aging face cream can help re-establish your skin's natural protective barrier and help turn back the effects of time for a firmer, perfected look.
Clinique CX Protect Base SPF 40
Many forms of skin aging arise from damage sustained after the skin's exposure to the sun. Anti-aging skin care expert Paula Begoun tested Clinique's anti-aging sunscreen and said it was "very good." She says it combines effective sunscreens like zinc oxide in a "moisturizing base" that's packed with lecithin, anti-irritants, antioxidants and other skin conditioners. Clinique also injects the cream with mineral pigments that cosmetically enhance your appearance and give your skin a more perfected look.
SkinCeuticals Pigment Regulator
SkinCeuticals' pigment cream was rated as one of the best anti-aging solutions by "Women's Health" magazine's editors. They liked its use of kojic acid, which can help to brighten your complexion and fade skin aging symptoms like age spots and other skin discolorations. Additional ingredients like embelica help moisturize and smooth your skin surface.
Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Advanced Time Complex Capsules Intensive Treatment
Elizabeth Arden packages its anti-aging facial cream in individual capsules to help preserve the stability of its active ingredients. Begoun gave it her Paula's Pick award, which marks products that perform exceptionally well. She says it's full of "beneficial ingredients" like ceramides, emollients, antioxidants and other conditioners that can help the skin repair itself. She found its texture to be "silky."
Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Daily Anti-Fatigue Eye Cream
Your eye area needs protection, too. Begoun says Garnier Nutritioniste's cream is "very good" for the eye area. She liked its substantial amount of antioxidants, which can help your cells repair themselves and protect them from new damage that may lead to fine lines and other poor skin conditions in the thin, delicate eye skin. She notes that Garnier includes mica, which immediately brightens your eye area and helps to soften the severity of wrinkles and dark undereye circles.
