anti ageing 2112 Key Ingredients to Age Gracefully We all want to keep our young youthful glow, right? But what actually works? There are many different products that boast anti-aging and skin regenerating qualities. I’m sure I speak for a lot of women when I say that I don’t know the difference between the products made by Oil of Olay, Estee Lauder, Loreal, etc. Is there a difference?

There are differences between all anti-aging creams, like the packaging for example– but the key ingredients that your skin needs in order to stay beautiful do not change. Below are a few key ingredients to look for when choosing an anti-aging cream or serum.

~Creatine. The same ingredient that gives body builders their muscle can also tone and lift your face.

~Chamomile and Primrose Oil. These provide the major hydration your skin needs to keep cells rebuilding at their fastest speed.

~Antioxidants. Look for Vitamin’s A, C, and E.

~Resveratrol. This ingredient is fairly new–it is derived from red wine and antioxidants.

~Green Tea and Hydroxy Acids. They keep the skin hydrated and give you that “glow”.

Look at the ingredients listed on the back of the package–just like in foods, the ingredients are listed in order of appearance. You want to choose a product that has these key ingredients at the top of the list. Just a little side note–the lines on our faces let the world know what we’ve been through. It’s a beautiful thing to age–choose a product that helps you do it gracefully.
