Stop Freaking Out About Aging (and Start Using These Products)No one wants mottled, wrinkly, old-lady skin -- but sitting around bemoaning your loss of youth won't accomplish a whole lot. On the other hand, using these products will |
My mother, whom I happen to adore, used to annoy the crap out of me by spouting truisms like, "Youth is wasted on the young."
Of course, that was utterly meaningless to me when I was in my teens and 20s. Why? Because I was young and categorically unable to grasp how fleeting and precious my "youth" was.
It's true though, youth is wasted on the young -- especially when it comes to beauty. In addition to your speedy metabolism and thick, glossy hair, you take your resilient, collagen-full skin 100 percent for granted. You may complain about acne or period-related breakouts, but, otherwise, it's pretty much smooth sailing for you and your wrinkle-free face.
It's when you start to notice those fine smile lines morphing into deeper grooves and the furrow between your brows making you look permanently angry that you realize the ship of your youth has set sail. And this is precisely when the freaking out starts.
But you don't have to lose it. (Not to mention all that freaking out will accomplish nothing more than send collagen-destroying cortisol coursing through your bloodstream.)
Your better bet? Read up on what you can do to eradicate the ravages of time from your face and set a course of action into motion. First step: Start using these five anti-aging products that contain the proven ingredients you need to help really make a difference in how your skin looks.

A little pricy. I want to find a real product that does what it says any suggestions? That doesn't blow your banking account.

I really love this new product I found called YOUTH2Skin by Juliana USA. It's not expensive and has all the best ingredients.

I\'m sure all of the products listed here work just fine, but they\'re way to pricey for an average woman\'s skin care budget. Why not list drug store products as alternatives to the expensive anti-aging creams? Many skin care lines, such as Roc and Olay, have pretty much the same ingredients as the ones listed here, and they work just as well as the high-end department store brands.

So it appears that only rich women can have younger looking skin.

There are great Olay, Neutrogena, and Loreal products out there that can do pretty much the same things as these.
