When I started using creams I knew one cream and that was your basic moisturiser. Now you have a maze of products to choose from, AA, BB, CC and even DD! I look for an anti-wrinkle agent in my cream and sun protection but after watching a beauty video about these new inventions I decided to investigate, which cream does what?
So your AA (Anti-Ageing) creams....
 |
| Olay Regenerist - €32.00 // ROC multi-correxion night treatment - €25.99 No7 protect and perfect - €25.00 |
Anti-ageing creams are used best to reduce and slow down the signs of ageing. Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines and to help with discolouration. To see maximum results day and night cream should be used. Various creams suit different ages. No7 protect and perfect from Boots is excellent for young skin while Olay and Roc suit mature skin. Anti-ageing creams should be applied from your early twenties and ensure your cream has an SPF in it. We have all seen those cardboard tangerine sun bathers!
