As your skin ages, you may want to switch to cream or oil-based moisturizers and cosmetics. Cream and oil bases more efficiently retain moisture and restore hydration to the skin. However, those with acne-prone skin should look for water-based products that are not as thick to avoid clogging pores. If you’re concerned about a greasy appearance on your face, use a translucent or matte powder as a finishing touch. New advances in skin care products that target wrinkles include the addition of silicone into moisturizers that can fill and seal fine lines. This innovative formulation can effectively smooth-out wrinkle prone areas, such as around the eyes, mouth and forehead. The treatment creates a more even surface for make-up application and the effect is long-lasting.
