Starting anti-wrinkle creams early isn't the answer to preventing wrinkles. British dermatologists warn that using them on young skin can actually speed up the aging process.
Recent British research reveals that one-third of women over 25 regularly apply anti-wrinkle creams to maintain youthful skin. However, these products are designed for women around 40 and older. For teens, heavy skincare can clog pores, leading to impurities and breakouts.
The real risk arises with creams containing ingredients like glycolic acid and lactic acid.
Found in many anti-wrinkle formulas, these acids break down the skin's top layer and accelerate cell turnover, which can be damaging for younger complexions.
