Botox is Not Better Than Most Wrinkle Creams
Looking younger is not that hard, really. For most people, putting a variety on anti wrinkle creams on their face every day does the trick for awhile However,it's really hard to enjoy the summer or anything outside without worrying about what the weather is doing to your skin. There are a few things you can do to lessen the worry, and make sure your wrinkles stay under control.
It was once thought that sunlight (Ultraviolet (UV) light can speed up aging, by causing wrinkles and/or rough, blotchy skin. If you look at people who live in warm/sunny climates, you might notice that they have more wrinkles or uneven pigmentation in their skin, but is the sun really the problem?
Now new research shows that people living in sunny climates might actually fare better than those in rainy climates. It's a fact that few people know, but a fact, none the less. However, if you did not grow up with natural wrinkle protection for the sun, you might want to limit the time you spend sun tanning, and wear a hat as needed. Also, use sunscreen when outdoors, even in cloudy weather and in the winter. While sunscreen is not the best wrinkle cream, it will keep the skin moist.
Be careful about sunscreen though, some of it can actually cause more harm to your skin. You should choose a sunscreen with a protection factor (SPF) of at least 15, and it should block both UVA and UVB rays. Sunlight actually provides our bodies with a necessary amount of Vitamin D, so don't hide from it completely!

As I said before, use of moisturizers is necessary to keep the skin plump. When dry, the skin shrivels and tightens, which is where the wrinkles get their shape. If you use an anti wrinkle cream and keep the skin is moist, it can quickly recover from unsightly wrinkles - or at the very least, the wrinkle cream will mask the tiny lines and creases created when the skin was drier.
Those who smoke will be disappointed in this next fact. Although, I'm sure most smokers are already aware of it. According to the Mayo Clinic "Smoking causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of your skin. It also damages collagen and elastin, fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. As a result, skin begins to sag and wrinkle prematurely." If you're going to smoke, you are also going to have to use the best anti wrinkle cream money can buy!
Some people turn to Botox injections when they find that their wrinkle creams are not working so well anymore. In my opinion, Botox should be a last resort, not just something else you can try. Botox is a drug derived from Botulinum Toxin A, which is a deadly poison produced by Clostridium Botulinum - the bacterium that causes botulism. If you're desperate, go ahead and try it, but know that it is very expensive, and you will have to get more than one treatment, as Botox treatments also wear off after while. How many times do you really want to put bacterium in your face!
I also think that if your natural lines cannot move at all, you might get more lines in other (more unnatural) areas of your face? That stress has to go somewhere!
Anyway, I prefer to use anti aging wrinkle creams in my search for relief of lines and wrinkles. To me, they are better than botox. With a wrinkle cream, I can put it all over my face if I want to; and it won't paralyze my face in that particular area. The wrinkles can just plump up, and become invisible. It doesn't get any better than that!
