There are two types of aging: One is called Intrinsic aging. The bad news? It's inevitable. Intrinsic aging, AKA the natural aging process, is determined by your genetic disposition. This determines how quickly or not stuff starts "falling apart".

 

What is the good news then? The good news is that this kind of aging, believe it or not, counts for only 10-20% of your aging! This is very good news, as it means that you have a high percentage on your side to prevent aging. Welcome to the era of anti aging skin care.

 

...which brings us to the second kind of aging - Extrinsic aging (environmental aging). This type of aging starts early in life and is caused by several external factors, which can make your skin age prematurely. The main factor is sun exposure, or photo aging.

 

Other damaging factors include pollution, facial expressions, gravity, sleeping patterns, heat and wind as well as habits like smoking, poor diet, alcohol and not drinking enough water.

 

This all means that aging is highly preventable! The sooner you start taking care of your skin, the better. You know how some people look shamelessly young for their age? Now that you're in on the secret, you'll know that it's not always from good genes. Maybe they're just taking good care of themselves. Why not do the same?

 

One of the best secrets to reduce the signs of aging can be found in high-quality, pure anti aging skin care creams. Beware though. The word-wide web offers a vast array of anti aging skin care companies, all of whom try to convince you that their anti aging skin care cream is the Alpha-Omega of anti-aging. FYI: most of them aren't. Here are some good questions to ask, to assist you in finding a quality anti aging skin care cream which actually does what you want it to: making you look younger:

 

* Do they feature a free trial/money back guarantee?

 

* Do they offer verifiable testimonials from people with before/after pictures? If not, keep shopping - anyone can erase wrinkles in a program like Photoshop.

 

* Are all the ingredients clearly listed? If not, it's a red flag.

 

* Are the ingredients explained? If you see a list of unpronounceable ingredients without a detailed, verifiable explanation as to their anti aging qualities, how will you know it will work?

 

* When you read about the anti aging skin care cream, does it seem scientific? If not, run the other way. It's very easy to get sucked in to cleverly written sales-letters. If you're going to be impressed by anything, let it be the extent to which the company goes to document scientifically why their product works - not sales fluff.

 

Asking these questions will significantly increase your chance of finding a high-quality anti aging skin care product.
