Wrinkle Creams: The Next Botox

by Jen Hopkins

You wake up at 6am to get ready for work, stumble to the sink, splash water on your face, look in the mirror and…try to figure out which one is the Grand Canyon and which are just the cracks. It has happened, is happening, or will happen to each of us- getting old. It starts with realizing weare saying the same things as our parents, it ends when we look in the mirror and see our parents. No matter how weave tried to avoid it, age has slipped up on us and now itas war. Science is lending a hand researching why and how we age and what can best be done to slow it down, stop it, or hide it. We see these results in the cosmetic aisle at the store; brand after brand of makeup looking for the better mix of materials in order to give us all back the appearance of 5-20 years.

But how good are these new makeups? The cosmetic industry is a business, and business has always looked to the dollar. It seems they will try anything new, exciting, or that just plain sounds possible, if improbable, to try to get us to buy a product.

Cosmetics are an immense industry. Millions of dollars are invested to formulate, research, and test new wrinkle creams designed to blow the competition out of the water, and these companies need to see a return on their investment. It is just this competitive nature that helps us make sure we get what we need. In the past twenty years the competing companies have forced each other to stick to pure science and try to discover exactly how the aging process works in order to better combat it.

The original wrinkle creams were designed to cover the wrinkles and hide them by filling in the cracks with a thick, goopey material. While it hid the evidence of age initially it couldnat stand up to a full dayas work and eventually those wrinkles started to shine through. New science has allowed us to improve our filling material and let us discover plumping agents and muscle freezing agents to increase the products effectiveness.

The fillers do their job a lot better now, filling and staying where they should on a persons face. The plumpers are new in that they go into the pours of where the wrinkles are in moisturize them. This fills them with water and smoothes out the skin from underneath, a much better way of attacking the problem.

The muscle freezing agents immobilize tiny patches of muscle underneath the wrinkles to slow down the progression of wrinkles. These are used to battle our toughest wrinkle areas like the frown lines of the forehead, the laugh lines around our mouths, and the crows feet at our eyes. These freezing agents allow our plumping and filling agents to work more effectively and also our makeups to cover us better than ever before.

The combinations of plumpers, freezers, and fillers can be utilized differently to have different results. These help make traditional makeup much more effective in the war on age. As the science increases we find it possible to use creams and makeups as opposed to plastic surgery- a much better alternative.

Winkle creams do in fact work. They use various combinations of the make ups described above to produce many different results. It is important to research what kind of wrinkle cream that you want to use. Once you find one that suits you, use it to make yourself look younger.
