Anti aging wrinkle cream (the type that actually works) is a necessity in the fight against aging. Yet, in and of itself it can only do so much. In this article you'll find out how to maximize the dramatic benefits a great anti aging wrinkle cream can have.

The following procedures may seem deceptively simple. However, they are a wonderful treasure for your skin that you should not take lightly - unless you are going for that "distinguished" mature look.

1. Cleanse Your Face Twice Per Day:

Dirt collects while you are sleeping. Additionally, your pores absorb a well of dirt during the daytime, so wash your face upon rising and before going to bed. Use a mild face cleanser that is easy on your skin.

2. Drink Green Tea Every Day:

The aging process is greatly accelerated by the increase of free radicals in the body. Green tea is very rich in antioxidants, which heavily diminishes the free radicals in your body. By drinking a cup or two of green tea every day, you can prevent wrinkles before they happen, as well as reduce the risk of getting various kinds of cancer. Steep the tea yourself, do not buy it pre-brewed, as processed teas are likely to have a lot less antioxidants due to their processing.

3. Use a natural anti-aging face mask once or twice a week. There is an abundance of easy to make face packs out there, and they can easily be located online by doing a search for "anti aging face masks". One of the best masks I have come across is, and one I highly recommend is made from papaya. Directions:

Blend one ripe papaya and put it on a freshly washed face. Leave it on for about 25 minutes. Wash off with warm water, and apply a high-quality anti aging wrinkle cream. If you don't have papaya, banana will do almost the same job. Works miracles on a tired, wrinkled face. Apply two times per week.

4. Use an anti aging wrinkle cream after cleansing your face in the AM and PM. This is very important if you want to stay young looking. Make sure you get a product which actually works - as much as ninety percent of the anti aging wrinkle creams you see online are, for all effective purposes - scams.
