When It’s Time for Vitamin A
Vitamin A is one of the biggest components in wrinkle cream. As might be expected, each and every product claims to be the greatest in making wrinkles disappear. Many of these products are deceptive and want you to believe they work when they don’t. These include adding small pieces of glitter to wrinkle removing creams. Glitter is used because it reflects light out of the wrinkles. This will make it look like your wrinkles are gone. So if you use these creams containing glitter, you will watch your money go down the drain when you wash your face.
If you are playing the anti-aging game for keeps, then you need to know about vitamin A. Vitamin A is also called retinol. It really can completely erase wrinkles. This process can take a few days or even a week or two. Don’t be scared. The wrinkles will dissipate.
Retinol causes skin to stay elastic. Also, it can help your skin retain moisture. It can even, in some cases, be used to “plump” wrinkles so that they are stretched full, tight and smooth.
However, retinol also has some associated complications that you need to be aware of. You will become very sensitive to the sun. No matter what form of vitamin A you are using, it can still make you very sensitive to the sun. You can get a burn from just being outside for a little while on a sunny day. You should always wear sunblock on your face if you don’t want wrinkles.
In addition, retinol can create issues for people with very sensitive skin. Common effects (other than the disappearance of wrinkles) are breakouts and dry skin. This will only happen if you overdo the vitamin A treatments. If you are worried, then test your vitamin A product on the inside of your elbow. Dab it on there twice a day for about a week. You are going to be fine if there isn’t any redness or inflammation. However, watch your skin and pay attention to the way it feels and looks to be sure that you are in good shape.
I have one more warning. Always follow the directions! Vitamin is not for people who have not studied the effects it can have. This is for people who are serious about beauty. Vitamin A can completely get rid of wrinkles, usually, so make sure you are using it the correct way.
