Making your face look younger

There is little doubt that topical creams and lotions will probably never be a short-term replacement for plastic surgery. However, in the long run, the topical cream or lotion will definitely be an excellent replacement, since plastic surgery results begin to deteriorate within 24 hours of the surgery. As time progresses, the fat will begin to build up again, and the wrinkles will start to reform. On the other hand, if you continue to apply the cream/lotion faithfully, the results will continue and be maintained.

With thousands of creams and lotions on the market today promising maximum results and “best alternative to liposuction,” is it possible to choose one for your body, especially the sensitive skin of your face? Experts agree that there are a few things to watch for when you choose a topical cream or lotion to minimize wrinkles or other appearances of aging.

• Check the ingredients. This is especially important if you have any known allergies. Some creams contain harmful ingredients that can cause reactions, such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Common side effects of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, redness, and irritation, but more serious side effects such as anaphylactic shock can happen in rare cases.
• Read the directions. We all lead very busy lives, and we don’t want to have to take a break every 4-6 hours to apply new lotion, especially women who wear makeup daily. Look for overnight or once/twice daily creams and/or lotions.
• Research the brand name. If you have any doubts as to the veracity of a brand name’s claims, check them out. Many websites are devoted to reviewing products, and you can normally read a plethora of comments on any given topical cream. In addition, look for clinical trials and their results. These are also very helpful.
• Ask a healthcare professional. Whether you choose to speak to a doctor, pharmacist, dermatologist, or another health-care specialist, they can normally recommend very helpful products. Overall, many would rather recommend a cream or lotion than perform plastic surgery on any given patient.

Above anything else, never use something that is not over the counter without a valid prescription. Your best friend may have a prescription wrinkle treatment cream that works for her skin, but could cause problems or counteract another medication for you. Always talk to your doctor before using something that is not prescribed to you.

Doube Chin Reduction

A double chin can be the hardest sagging skin to get rid of. Many of us hate the look of a double chin, but have no idea how to get rid of it effectively. Others do not yet have a double chin, but are worried that it may not be too far in the future. For those, here are a few ways to keep from getting a double chin:

* Keep your posture straight. Keep your head up, and your throat muscles will stay strong. The straighter your posture is, the better your body will maintain its shape overall.
* Do not overestimate the power of a healthy diet. Nothing will substitute for healthy eating habits.
* Make use of the many types of sugar free gums and hard candies on the market. They will keep your jaw and face muscles in shape and prevent any fat from building up.
* Take a walk and roll your neck whenever possible to stretch those face muscles. Avoid sitting for long hours in front of the television or computer.

Many of us are embarrassed about the double chin we have. It can ruin an otherwise attractive face, and is an indication of the fat stored within our bodies. Your chin is one of the first places that the body begins storing this excess fat, and a double chin can be seen on even thinner men and women of many different backgrounds, races, and ages. It is also one of the best ways to look much older than you actually are.

Frequent exercise and proper diet are the best ways to get rid of a double chin, and these can also make your neck appear more graceful and elegant. That said, sometimes a double chin is too much of a problem, or a faster way to get rid of it is desired. For those people, cosmetic surgery may be the answer. If you fall in this category, always be sure to speak with a medical professional before allowing anyone to perform surgery, and keep your expectations realistic. Be aware of potential risks and costs, and never trust someone who will not listen to your hopes before making their professional decision.
