Anti-aging creams, lotions and serums are among the best-selling cosmetics on the market. Every day, new products appear on TV, the Internet or in magazines, accompanied by claims of wrinkle-banishing properties. Some anti-aging creams do work better than others. The best creams have nourishing, natural ingredients regardless of their brand name or price tag. Read on to learn how to use anti-aging cream.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Look for certain ingredients before buying an anti-aging cream. A good anti-wrinkle or anti-aging cream should always include a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more. Constant exposure to sunlight is one of the major causes of premature wrinkles.

  2. Step 2

    Heal aging or damaged skin. The best anti-aging creams are fortified with minerals and natural ingredients that replenish mature skin's moisture and elasticity. Check the ingredient list on the back of the tube or package for zinc, vitamins C, D, E and A, peptides, anti-oxidants and keratin. These vitamins and proteins actively combat the signs of aging.

  3. Step 3

    Ignore brand names and prices and concentrate on ingredients. Expensive and heavily advertised anti-aging creams may not be the best treatment for your skin. Some skin care experts claim products on your local drugstore shelf are more effective than fancy designer name brands creams.

  4. Step 4

    Consult a dermatologist. If you are serious about anti-aging skin care, talk with your doctor. He or she can recommend the best anti-aging creams for your skin.

  5. Step 5

    Follow directions for the anti-aging cream of your choice. Always bring a small tube or jar with you when you travel and don't skip a day or an application. If you want to look younger and healthier, have a consistent anti-aging routine.
