What is the best facial lotion?

I've been having a lot of wrinkles showing up on my face over the past year. I also sleep very little and my skin dries out and suffers from it a lot. That makes me look years older than I actually am. Is there any facial creme or lotion out there that would keep my skin firm and minimize the wrinkles and dryness? I already tried some, but they all didn't work.What is the best facial lotion?
Well, firstly are you talking about superficial wrinkles (wrinkles that show up only when your skin is dried out) or deep wrinkles (wrinkles that are on your face permanently unless cosmetic surgery is pursued)?





If they're superficial, there are a ton of great moisturizers out there. Avon makes a great face cream, it's the ';Hydrofirming bio6 night creme';, and it retails for about $15. If you want more a more simple lotion, I would ask you to consider the Cetaphil Moisturizer. You can get a big, 475ml bottle in most drug stores. It costs about $17.





A face cream/lotion won't ';firm'; or ';lift'; the skin, nor can it ';feed'; the skin with vitamins or minerals, it's physically impossible. What a well-formulated moisturizer can do is offer your skin a host of anti-oxidants, some anti-irritants, and maybe a few (non irritating) plant extracts (but it's a big maybe considering that there are many irritating ';natural'; ingredients out there).





Don't think that ';natural'; is better. Just consider this; If a company wants to add something like aloe to their skin creme, they can't simply throw it into the vat of creme. They first have to make ';extract'; or ';water'; of it (basically just plant tea, really), then they add a host of preservatives for shelf life, and THEN they add it to the cream. Does that even remotely resemble it's original counterpart? Of course not. Plus, many plant, vegetable, and fruit extracts can be quite irritating for skin.





Don't think that price has anything to do with what you're getting. There are many department store creams that perform miserably, and many drugstore creams that are excellent. For instance, L'Oreal makes a simple ';Mens'; moisturizer in a propellant-driven bottle for $15. The same moisturizer marketed to women is put into a 63% smaller squeeze tube, called a ';wrinkle filler';, and sold for $27.


L'Oreal owns Lancome, Helena Rubenstein, Vichy, Biotherm, and La Roche Posay.





Biotherm has the EXACT same moisturizer in their line, and they sell it as the ';Homme active moisturizer'; for $45. Lancome has an almost-identical product for $50.


And what about La Mer? It's owned by Estee Lauder, and frankly the formulations are laughable. Want to know what's in the Creme de La Mer? Water, thickening agents, petroleum and some algae extract (seaweed tea, really). It contains the preservative Kathon CG, which should only be put in wipe-off cleansers, and it's sold for $165. The lotion and creme that I suggested above are much more kind to the skin (and wallet) than this joke of a product.





Eye creams are absolutely un-necessary, as most ';eye creams'; are quite similar to their ';face'; counterparts, only sold in smaller containers.





Rest doesn't affect the skin as much as one would think. Although when fatigued our bodies slow the process of cell reproduction, that doesn't equal dry, wrinkled skin. Stress doesn't cause wrinkles, and dry skin doesn't cause wrinkles. How do we know dry skin doesn't cause wrinkles? Because there are young people out there with dry skin and they don't have any permanent wrinkles, and there are elderly individuals with quite oily skin that have deep wrinkles.





There is only one main ';preventer'; of wrinkles, and that's a sunscreen with an SPF over 15, and with FDA approved UVA and UVB screening ingredients (Basically Mexoryl SX, Avobenzone, Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide). Sun damage is the leading cause of wrinkles (along with smoking), not to mention skin cancer, so it's an essential part of a skin-care routine.





I do hope that what I've written helps you. If you have any more questions, feel free to email me.What is the best facial lotion?
Well, the absolute best moisturizer is La Mer, you can get it at saks and neimans, or lamer.com. A cheaper option is Olay complete moisturizers, you can get it basically anywhere for like $10, oh and la mer runs around $200.
The best facial lotion you can get is in The Body Shop. There is a wide range of facial washes but the best one is Tea Tree. The foaming facial wash is easy to use and if you want more there is a toner and exfoliator aswell as mosturiser!
Yes I know one great product can help you but let me tell you that you should try and get more sleep. Sleep is essential for our health and if you want beautiful skin you need sleep.





If your schedule is full and really can't afford good night sleep you should try and take a few minutes each day to relax.





The lack of sleep could be the reason why no lotions helped, but also it's possible you didn't get a quality product.





As a skin care consulter and make-up artist I can recommend you one great product.





Jeven茅鈩?is completely natural and causes no side effects. It's very gentle and good for sensitive skin.





People notice drastic positive changes within only 2 weeks.





This is the link to their website where you can read everything about it: http://www.easynaturalyou.com/jevene.htm鈥?/a>





Also they offer a free sample. I think you only pay something like 7$ for the shipping. Worth a try!





Good luck!
anything natural
beware with this one:


Smoking


Light skin type (people with blue eyes and easily burned skin are more prone to sun damage)


Heredity (some families wrinkle more)


Hairstyle (some styles provide cover and protection against sun damage)


Dress (hats, long sleeves, etc.)


Occupational and recreational habits (farming, sailing, golfing, using tanning booths, and so forth)





try to use SPF that matches ur age.
