How to Select an Anti-Aging Cream When You Have Sensitive Skin?

Anti-wrinkle creams have become extremely popular recently and the number of different

anti-aging skin care products on the market today, has made it difficult to select a product. We are often overloaded with popular terms as "all-natural" and "antioxidants", but how do you know what's right for your skin?

All natural refers to the fact that the ingredients are naturally made and not chemically synthesized or altered. Starting with the oils such as grape seed oil, jojoba oil or almond oil to herbal extracts, skin care manufacturers aim to produce skin care products that are as natural as possible. Natural does not always mean that the product is gentle to the skin. This is dependent on how pure the natural ingredients are, the concentration of the ingredients in the final product and if the person has a sensitivity to one of the ingredients.

Antioxidants are compounds that can counteract the damage being done by free radicals. Antioxidants are found in natural sources such as pigments in fruit and vegetables. Although there is some scientific evidence to suggest that antioxidants can delay the onset of disease, the word is still out whether antioxidants in skin care products can fight premature aging of the skin. Especially damaged skin that resulted from overexposure to UV in the past may be difficult to repair. One of the most important and sometimes-overlooked antioxidant, is vitamin E. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. Other antioxidants that have gained popularity recently are extracts of pomegranate and acai.

If you're looking for an anti-wrinkle cream for sensitive skin, look for products that have a low dose of vitamin A. Vitamin A is a powerful wrinkle fighter (by stimulating the production of collagen), but too much vitamin A can result in skin irritation, in particular in people with sensitive skin. Fragrance-free anti-aging creams are considered to be better for sensitive skin as are skin care products that contain "gentler" preservatives such as grapefruit seed extract and potassium sorbate. Additional ingredients that have a rejuvenating effect on the skin are collagen and lacto-ceramide (is important to the skin's barrier function and protects against skin irritation).
