Sunscreen Protection

Many women use one cream with SPF 15 that goes under their makeup in the morning, then another wrinkle cream that they wear at night.  A separate wrinkle cream is helpful at night, because this is when your body is regenerating itself and can use the nutrients in the wrinkle cream most effectively.

How to Use Wrinkle Cream

When using anti wrinkle cream, it is important to apply the cream immediately after your shower, while your pores are open from the heat and moisture.  This optimizes your skins ability to absorb the collagen molecules. Be certain to wash your face again before bed to prevent the daily toxins your skin picks up from festering on your skin at night. You should then apply a nighttime cream, rich in nutrients.

Daytime Needs

During the day, you need sunscreen protection in your skin.  In addition, you will want to exfoliate and renew the outer skin layer with a cream that contains alpha hydroxyl acids. These compounds are great for your skin, but can be a little irritating, so you do not want an exfoliating cream on your skin at night. An effective wrinkle cream will also have a collagen delivery system that can sometimes cause mild stinging. This is not a distraction you want at night when you are trying to sleep.

Nighttime

Obviously, there is no need of sunscreen in a nighttime wrinkle cream.  You will, however need vitamins, nutrients and minerals with antioxidant properties.  By nourishing your skin at night with these ingredients, you will waken with soft, glowing skin, rather than a puffy, tired look.

Eye Wrinkle Cream

Another important element to fighting wrinkles is eye cream. These creams are specially formulated for the sensitive skin surrounding your eyes. These are gentle enough to use either morning or night. You only need to dab a small amount under your eyes to diminish dark circles. Some eye wrinkle creams also add firmness and are applied to the skin above your eyes as well a below.

By adding these wrinkle creams to your daily skin regimen, you will see fewer lines, less discoloration, and a healthier, more youthful glow.
