It's really important to get the right kind of anti-wrinkle cream for your skin type. Read lots of reviews, certainly, because they are a good place to start looking for the right kind. But if you have oily skin (like me), they can make your skin even shinier, or if you have dry skin, you might still get white flaking. So getting the right one, is important.

Anti-wrinkle creams and even sunscreens can make your skin feel oily, to the point that you might not want to even wear them - which is a bad thing, because then you wind up getting sunburned, and that's even worse for your skin! I found that even ones that were made for oily skin made my skin feel and look shiny and slippery.

Then, I read a magazine article that suggesting using serums for oily skin, rather than traditional anti-wrinkle cream. I decided to try it, and to my surprise, I really, really like it! It's not terribly expensive, and it makes my skin feel soft and moisturized, and not in the least bit oily. I use it twice a day, morning and night, and it made a huge difference, even after just a few days. It's easier to apply makeup, and it stays on better, and in the morning, my sleep lines are way less noticeable.

The serum I discovered happened to be a cheaper one, only $11 per bottle. Others range from $50 to $90 per bottle. I saw a premium serum for $115 on the internet. I don't know if it worth the price, though, because I couldn't bring myself to spend that much.

The best wrinkle cream has to be able to fit your needs. I've found that serums meet mine but for others that may not work. A friend of mine has really dry skin. When she uses oil blotting sheets, they're almost completely dry! If I use them, I have to use at least two! Though it's a lot better than when I was younger and using three.

If you are like my friend who has such dry skin, you might need to use an anti-aging project that is designed for dry skin, plus you might want a good moisturizing cream as well. The best moisturizing creams for dry skin contain things like Chamomile, Geranium, Hyssop, etc. Look for alcohol-free moisturizing creams as well, as alcohol can be very harsh on the skin.

In addition to caring for your skin with a good skin-care regimen, you should take care of yourself in other ways. A good night sleep (your skin repairs itself best during sleep), exercise (boosts circulation and cellular repair, and encourages weight-loss), drinking plenty of water (helps flush toxins from the body, and plump the skin) and eating a good diet full of whole foods are vitally important to staying healthy, and keeping your skin in good shape. There are lots of other tips - google "skin care" or visit a library for more information.

Our skin is the first thing people see and keeping it healthy is important because if you care for your skin in turn you're caring for your body and that could promote a longer healthier life. Those wrinkle cream reviews were right about finding the right one for your skin. I wish I had taken the time to do so when I was younger so that my skin was in better shape but it's still not too late.
