New Study Proves Moisturizer Alone Can Slow-www Down Wrinkles

Ladies, one simple step in your skin care routine can save your face in the long run. Moisturizer. Yes. A simple moisturizer can prevent wrinkles.

Don't believe us? Well, maybe you will be impressed by this---an 8-year study by the respected British Journal of Dermatology did the research. In the study, photos of more than 100 hundred women's faces, between the ages of 10 and 72, were taken. And more importantly, the moisture of their skin was measured at the beginning and end of the 8-year study. The findings were recently published in the journal.

The results found that women with the highest levels of moisture, developed 30% fewer wrinkles than those with a drier complexion.

That's quite amazing to us. But those with dry skin, should especially heed the information coming from the research. Dry skin is more fragile than that of oily skin. A parched complexion has a tougher time trying to 'rebound' from repetitive facial expressions, experts says. So, this skin type needs extra TLC.

In other words, under the normal aging process, dry skin more than doubles the speed at which wrinkles develop, the study claims.

A typical 28-year-old woman with dry skin will have 52 percent more lines by the time she reaches 36. But if her skin is well hydrated the wrinkles would increase by just 22 percent at age 36, researchers

Let's face it....we all age, and yes, we all sag and wrinkle over time. But if applying a simple moisturizer with an SPF in the morning, and again at night, can give you less wrinkles, then why wouldn't you just do it?!

  1. I always wondered if moisturizers really did work, and this is fascinating info. Unfortunately I have dry skin, so I better bulk up on putting it on day and nite.
