What's in Anti-Wrinkle Face Creams? Retinol is one of the first antioxidants put into anti-wrinkle face creams, when it was discovered that these substances could fight the effects of free radicals in the environment that lead to the aging process. Retinol is a vitamin A compound, and can be found in prescription form under the name tretinoin. This ingredient was the first that was approved by the FDA as a wrinkle treatment. If you use an anti-wrinkle face cream with retinol, you may indeed see a slight improvement to your skin as well as a reduction in wrinkles. However, retinol is not safe to use if you are pregnant or planning to become so. Another popular ingredient in anti-wrinkle face creams is hydroxyl acids, which are derivatives of sugar-containing fruits. The reason that hydroxyl acids are effective ingredients in anti-wrinkle face creams is that they can exfoliate the dead skin on the surface and encourage healthy growth of the skin cells underneath. The end result is smoother, more evenly pigmented skin and a younger appearance. Hydroxyl acids will increase the sensitivity of the skin to sun exposure, so make sure that you are wearing your sunscreen every day if you are using an anti-wrinkle face cream with hydroxyl acid in it. There are many other potentially effective ingredients that might be found in anti-wrinkle face creams, including copper peptides, kinetin and coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is a nutrient that can diminish the appearance of fine lines around the eyes with no harmful side effects. It has also been found that conenzyme Q10 can protect against sun exposure if it is applied before heading outside. These are the ingredients that you should be searching for on the product labels of anti-wrinkle face creams to ensure that the product will have at least some of the anti-aging effect that you desire. |

~What Colours are Warm, Cool & Neutral? ~Warm colours are mostly based on Yellows, Oranges, Browns, Yellowish-greens, Orangish-reds, and the like. ~Cool colours are mostly based on Blues, Greens, Pinks, Purples, Blue-greens, Magentas, and Blue-based reds. ~Neutral Colours No to be confused with "Neutral Skin Tone" are usually White,Grey,Silver,Beige. . . . ~There are some colours that have attributes of both Warm & Cool Colours Like Black,Brown,Mauve,Aubergine & Burgundy ~Once you have a basic understanding, you can then differentiate between for example, a "warm pink" and a "cool pink". A "warm pink" is a peachy pink. A "cool pink" would be a purplish pink. A "warm green" would be a yellowish green. A cool green would be more blue." ~The Semi-Circle pics show the different types of Hues/Tones of some colours. . .

~Whilst people with deeper skin tones often encounter problems finding foundations/Colours which match,it is mindful to think as far as colours go, you are limited only by your preference.The secret to success is in the tone or hue of colour used. Do not believe myths about wearing certain colours with certain eye & hair colours. With experimentation, you may discover that certain colours or particular tones of a colour do suit you best and make you feel good, but don't let anyone else tell you what to wear! Me included ~If you are somehow completely lost on this whole Cool,Warm Neutral Skin Tones, here are some suggestions for colour tones; to get you started. There are always exceptions to the rule!! Light to Medium skins; such as Latte, Coffee or Caramel Red: Blue-red or scarlet for a lift. Pink: Rose and coral hues for a soft enhancement. Brown: Gold, bronze and browns with pink undertones are lovely, such as mushroom or caramel. Orange: Coral and apricot are great choices to brighten the skin without washing it out. Purple: Berry tones such as blackberry or vermilion. Blue: Try cobalt and indigo for an instant lift. Green: Olive, teal and turquoise. Tip: use bronzer in place of a cheek color for a warmer skin tone. Medium to Dark skins; such as Cocoa, Mahogany or Ebony Red: Crimson, raspberry or brick. Pink: Magenta and fuchsia. Brown: Warmer hues such as brick-brown and bronze and copper are great, as is chocolate Orange: Coral is a lovely choice. Purple: Burgundy, currant, berry and plum. Blue: Indigo and sapphire are flattering to darker skins without appearing ashen. Green: Try turquoise, mint or aqua. ~Neutral Skin Tone - luckily for you, all colours will look good however most neutral skin tones will sway one way or another, so while a warm color may look great on you a cool color may look fabulous. ~If you love a particular colour in your makeup palette but struggle to wear it, try wearing a different hue/tone of that color. There is a tone to suit you! :Through much determination and perhaps a little patience, you will find that certain colour/s that is perfect for you. Remember that it is more important to wear what makes you look and feel good, rather than follow dictations by others. ~The Chart below shows Some suggested Colours that Suit Warm & Cool Skin Tones. . .

~Knowing how to determine your skin tone with Warm,Cool or Neutral colours and applying that knowledge to your cosmetic and clothing selection can bring out the best in your appearance. We all know when a certain colour looks great on us while other colours seem to leave us looking ashen and worn out. ~Selecting the right colours When buying not only your foundation shade of makeup, but also your blush, lip colors and any all-over face colors, you need to know if you should purchase cool or warm colours based on your skin tone. . . this can add so much to your overall appearance. The right colour can add sparkle to your overall being and complexion while the wrong colour can leave you looking ashen and your complexion washed out. ~You may/maynot be familiar w/ the three classifications Skin tones fall into.They are: Warm, Cool and Neutral Why Is This Important? With The Correct colors {In Cosmetics And Clothing}: ~Your skin tone will appear radiant and glowing ~Your eyes will appear brighter and clearer ~Your hair will reflect highlights ~You will hear compliments - such as "You look great"! With The Wrong Colors {In Cosmetics And Clothing} : ~Your skin tone will appear tired and drained ~Your eyes may appear shadowed, dark circles ~Even your teeth can appear with a slight yellow hue ~You will sometimes hear comments - such as "You look tired” "Do you feel OK?" ~A Beauty Consultant may be able to tell you your skin tone if you're not able to determine it yourself or you can do the Silver/Gold test - If you think you look better in gold than silver, this indicates a warm skin tone. People with cool skin tones usually look better in silver while Neutral Skin tone can wear gold or silver jewelry with no preference as to which looks better. . . .Additionally, you can use a gold and silver cloth for this test, hold a swatch of gold fabric under the chin, does it make you look healthy, ashen or neither. Try the same with silver fabric, what do you see?
