How do we choose the right anti-aging cream?
How do we choose our anti-aging cream?
Night creams are used for several purposes such as moisturizing the skin, preventing, and treating wrinkles, and treating pigmented spots. We thus prefer to use a night cream that contains most of the required ingredients to achieve these purposes. Sun protection should also be used in the morning.
With advancing age, some changes occur that must be treated to keep the skin fresh and clear:
- The skin becomes more rough & dry.
- Wrinkles and sagging occur due to the loss of collagen and some elastic tissues such as elastin.
- The skin becomes more vulnerable and sensitive, which leads to the appearance of capillaries under the skin.
- The skin becomes more prone to bruising due to the weakening of the blood vessel walls.
- Some degree of pigmentation occurs if we do not use sunblock creams during the day.
