06 May Difference Between Anti-Ageing & Anti-Wrinkle Creams
People tend to use both of them, but don’t really know the difference between anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle creams. That could defeat the purpose.
Everybody wants the best options for their skin, especially as they get older. Shocking it is, then, that a lot of people don’t really understand the difference between anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle applications. They are different, not only in end result, but also in preparation and ingredients.
Here are some of the basic differences between anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle creams:
The scope of work
Anti-ageing skin treatments include a whole host of exfoliators, sunscreen lotions and moisturisers. In fact, even anti-wrinkle creams could be considered a sub-category under anti-ageing skin applications. However, while anti-ageing creams focus on more generic problems, anti-wrinkle creams are specialised to treat onset of wrinkles.
The people who use it
People are recommended the use of anti-ageing applications from as early as 25 years of age. The guiding belief is that the earlier a person starts on their anti-ageing skincare regimen, the better their chances of avoiding premature manifestations of skin ageing. Anti-wrinkle creams are used by older people, who must take more proactive measures to stop the wrinkling process.
The ingredients
Anti-ageing creams stack up on ingredients which have a protective quality, like plant anti-oxidants, Vitamin C and alpha hyrdroxy acids. These work to safeguard your skin against potential damage, by reinforcing your skin cells. Anti-wrinkle creams, on the other hand, include collagens along with Vitamin A mixed in with retinol to help with the skin repair.
Lately though, the proliferation of new products has blurred the line between anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle applications. Some, like One Essentials, provide the benefit of both. They have become a new brand of anti-wrinkle creams, which are fit for use by a younger clientele who don’t have wrinkles yet.
In the end, it all boils down to your personal preferences and what works on your skin. Most importantly, the ageing symptoms that appear will be the best guides on your future course of action.
