There is really nothing like the best skin care product. There really can’t be anything like ‘The best skin care product’, because skin care products work differently for different people (based on the skin type to some extent). A product that is the ‘best skin care product’ for one person might end up being the worst for another person.

So, a more logical question to ask would be ‘What is the best skin care product for my type of skin?’ However, this still is not completely logical. We tend to segregate people into 4 groups based on their skin types – i.e. dry skin, oily skin, normal skin, and sensitive skin. However, this classification is just too broad to be used definitively in determining the best skin care product.

We can say ‘best skin care product for dry skin’ or ‘best skin care product for oily skin’ are better statements than just ‘best skin care product’. But really, that is what it is – ‘better’; still not accurate. So, it really comes to rephrasing the question to – ‘What is the best skin care product for me? Yes, this is exactly the question that you should be asking, and unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this.

Arriving at the best skin care product for yourself will need some effort on your part. First of all, you need to understand how skin care products work. This is simple. You can consider all skin care products to be composed of 2 types of ingredients – Active and inactive. The active ingredients are the ones that actually work on your skin. The inactive ones just help in delivering these active ingredients to your skin.

Both the ingredients need to work for your skin, in order for the product to be effective (and move on to become the best skin care product for you). Besides the ingredients, the way you apply your skin care products is equally important. In fact, this is even more important. If you do not know how to apply skin care products, you might forever be hunting for the best skin care product for yourself, when that has already passed you.

Moreover, it’s also important to decide on the frequency of application (of the skin care product). Environmental factors - temperature, humidity, and pollution level, also affect the selection of the best skin care product. Here are a few rules that you could use to ensure that your best skin care product is really the best for you:

• Cleanse your skin before applying the best skin care product.
• Use a makeup remover instead of plain water and remove your makeup before going to bed.
• The effectiveness of active ingredients is reduced when applied over another product e.g. over moisturizer. So apply that best skin care product first and then apply a bit of moisturizer if needed.
• Apply the products on moist and warm skin.
• You will have to experiment with a few products before you arrive at the one that is the best skin care product for you.
• Do not exfoliate too much or too hard.
• Vary your skincare routine as per the seasons (winter/summer etc), changes in environmental factors, and changes in your skin type.

Note that the best skin care product cannot be determined overnight. It’s only through experiment (and awareness) that you can find the ‘Best skin care product’ (for you).

Reducing wrinkles: is there a way?

Reducing wrinkles is something that many of us look forward to doing. As the body ages, so does the skin. The sun, our diets, and just our hereditary genes play a role in just how much we have to deal with this condition. One thing is for sure. If you don’t want to look your age, wrinkles are something that should be on your mind.

Engraved in the minds of all of us is the thought that if we have wrinkles, it is a sign of being old. Yet, remember that wrinkles can happen at virtually any time during your life. That means you may look older than you feel or actually are. One of the most important things for you to do in order to tackle the well-being of your skin is to be educated about it. Start by taking a look at what a wrinkle actually is. It is a ridge where the skin is no longer flat.

Fine wrinkles just look like tiny lines but they are the first stages of much more drastic-looking wrinkles. The folds of your skin, which is what wrinkles really are, can happen for a number of reasons. In theory, they are due to the skin becoming more elastic and the tissue underneath the skin becoming too loose or even removed partially.

Why did you have to get wrinkles? Most of the time, wrinkles are a part of everyone’s aging process. The skin becomes looser as a result of losing collagen underneath. When that happens, the skin will fold naturally with gravity. For some, the extreme amount of wrinkles that they have can be due to overexposure to the sun, a lack of a nutritious diet, and even to hereditary factors. Is there something that you can do about these conditions?

There are. In fact, there are many things that you can do. Start with giving yourself the nutrients that your body needs to keep your skin looking amazing. There are over-the-counter treatments for wrinkles, too. Some of these work, while others do not. You can resort to plastic surgery or to chemical injections to restore the missing collagen. There are a number of ways to improve the look of your face and skin.
