Myth Busting: Do Anti-Aging Creams Get Rid of Wrinkles?

raisinsOne of the biggest misconceptions about anti-aging products is that they'll fix all the ravages that time has wrought. All those frown lines, pigmentation spots and crows feet will be banished, without a trace. And of course, in most cases, cosmetic companies are only too happy to encourage that misconception. It sells product!

But no cream, serum or lotion is any substitute for surgery, unfortunately. However, what anti-aging preparations can do for you is properly hydrate your skin - and that actually is more than half the job.

Hydrated skin is plumper and smoother skin - just think of the difference between a grape and a raisin! So you will see benefits from using an anti-aging cream, and I'm definitely not knocking them - good ones are great at reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles - often because of the hydration factor. The results just might not be precisely those that the box claimed they'd be, is all!

And ladies, if you want those lines and wrinkles gone for good, then a little nippin' n' tuckin' is actually the only real solution.
