Effective Anti-Aging Skin Treatments


It's the one common beauty concern we all face, whether now or at some point in the future: aging skin. In the form of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, crow's feet, thinness and a host of other symptoms, age affects the skin in many ways. With so many advancements and so-called "miracle" ingredients being utilized by the beauty industry, it's no wonder that women tend to feel overwhelmed by all of the line-eradicating options out there.

What works and what doesn't work is truly down to your skin type and unique needs, but these cleansers, serums and moisturizers are certainly worth considering. Here are just a few of the anti-aging skin treatments we suggest:

A sallow, washed out complexion often goes hand in hand with tired, aging skin. The solution? A serum that packs a punch, like L'Occitane's Immortelle Brightening Essence ($52). Infused with powerful anti-wrinkle and free radical-busting ingredients (including vitamin C and soothing chamomile extract), it is regarded for its firming, toning and illuminating abilities. Expect to see visible results in about a month.


Your skin is most active at night, when it naturally repairs and rejuvenates itself. That's why cleansing is so imperative; going to bed without removing makeup is a serious beauty sin! Opt for a gentle cleaner, like DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge 1 Facial Cleanser ($24). Free of soap and oil, it mildly exfoliates the skin and leaves it primed for a layer of your favorite moisturizer.


We can't stress it enough: sunscreen is absolutely essential. One of the best options for facial skin is Kiehl's Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50+ ($34). Smooth this oil-free, long-lasting and lightweight treatment over your regular moisturizer for optimal results. It's even suitable for the most sensitive skins, so there are no excuses, ladies!


Tired eyes are one thing, but those that show the signs of aging can appear more noticeably haggard. Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-Aging Booster Eye Transforming Cream ($17) is formulated to minimize fine lines, reduce the appearance of dark circles, brighten up sallow skin, reduce puffiness and moisturize. The vitamin-rich concoction is enhanced by aloe vera and cucumber extract.


Take a natural approach to skin care with Burt's Bees' Radiance Day Lotion SPF 15 ($17.99). Free of harmful additives and infused with indulgent royal jelly for a hydrating boost, this gentle moisturizer is at once lightweight and potent.
