If you are going to fight wrinkles, you just don`t want any product, you want the best wrinkle treatment your money can buy that will do the job.
When wrinkles come knocking, no one wants to open the door. It is no wonder that millions of dollars are pumped annually into wrinkle treatment products and procedures.
Most of these treatments are aimed at diminishing wrinkles that appear on the face, neck, arms and other parts of the body that are exposed to the sun daily.
Some of these products and procedures are just packaged illusions while others do work to remove wrinkles moderately or significantly.
Preventing wrinkles from developing is impossible especially on some parts of your body. The best thing you can do is to delay them when it comes to such a scenario.
As we all get older, our bodies produce less natural oils that are meant to lubricate the skin thus leaving it sagging.
There are facial expressions such as raising eyebrows which cause wrinkles on the forehead or laughing which causes wrinkles on the eyes and around the corners of the mouth. These are uncontrollable factors that you just have to live with.
Therefore, when looking for options for best wrinkle treatment, you need to go for those that will enhance the body’s production of natural oils and ultimately improve skin elasticity.
The treatment chosen should help you maintain the look and feel of your skin in face of uncontrollable wrinkle-causing factors such as facial expressions.
Best Wrinkle Treatment Creams
The best anti-wrinkle products in the cosmetic industry will help you keep the wrinkles at bay for a long time to come if you start using them as early as your 20s especially if you are an outdoorsy person.
There are also some deep wrinkle creams that work quite well and can make your wrinkles less noticeable.
The best wrinkle treatment creams and serum are those that have been dermatologically tested and proven to diminish wrinkles.
Best Wrinkle Treatment Procedures
Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion
These are wrinkle treatment techniques that remove the surface skin to reveal a new layer with less wrinkles and spots.
Dermabrasion involves controlled wearing away of the skin’s upper layers with mechanical means while microdermabrasion involves usage of a powerful vacuum to spray and spread tiny crystals of aluminum oxide across the skin surface.Read more how microdermabrasion works here.
These two are seen as the best wrinkle treatment due to their minimal side effects. The results are not long lasting so regular treatments are necessary.

Winter brings with it the problem of the dry flaky skin caused by the cold air that removed skin moisture. There are also other factors responsible for dry skin.
It can be a result of some serious illness or disease but more commonly the environmental factors are the cause of dry chapped skin.
But there are plenty of ways to restore moisture to the skin by using home remedies for extremely dry skin. A few of them are listed below:
Coconut And Banana Mask: 
Coconut oil is smooth and can easily fill up the pores and dry skin patches making them smooth by adding moisture to hydrate them. It is also good for sensitive skin and could be used on daily basis.
Banana is also known for its moisturizing properties. The fats that are found in the banana also give conditioning to the skin making it smooth.
For preparing this mask, you will need one tablespoon of coconut oil and half a ripe banana.
First of all, mash the banana properly and then stir it in the coconut oil until a smooth paste is formed. Apply the paste on your face and leave it up to 20 minutes. Later, rinse it off with water. You can use this mask once or even twice a week.
Olive Oil Is One Of The Best Home Remedies For Extremely Dry Skin:
Olive oil consists of moisturizing properties, fatty acids, and antioxidants which are all good for smooth, glowing and healthy skin.
It conditions and nourishes the skin by reversing the damage caused to the skin by the sun.
Apply some olive oil half an hour before the shower in the places where you have dry skin. Apply a moisturizer after the shower. OR, add lavender oil in the olive oil and mix it well.
Apply the mixture onto your skin and wipe off the excess. The Olive- lavender oil concoction can take the place of the moisturizer. It can be used on daily basis.
Yogurt:
Dry skin is sensitive so it is advisable to use gentle scrubs and massage in order to not aggravate the skin more than it already is.
The anti-inflammatory properties of the yogurt help in soothing the dry itchy skin. Yogurt is a great hydrant containing antioxidants and lactic acid that treat the dryness of the skin by exfoliating
Gently massage your skin with yogurt. Leave it for about 10 minutes and take a bath or shower later. It can be done once daily.
OR, Add 3 teaspoonful of honey to one-fourth cup yogurt and stir. Add 3 tablespoonful of granulated sugar too. Apply the mixture on the skin using a gentle circular massage either by hand r you can use a brush.
Leave it for about 5 minutes and rinse it off with cold water later. Honey is for hydrating the skin while the sugar works on the skin flakiness. This is another home remedy that really works well for all skin types.
Milk:
Another one of the home remedies for extremely dry skin is milk.
Milk works as a soothing agent for dry chapped skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties and the lactic acid present in it helps to moisturize the skin and keep it hydrated. It also helps lighten the complexion.
You can use the cold milk as well as the warm milk as home remedies to fight dry skin.
Use the washcloth soaked in cold milk and keep it on the skin for over 5 minutes. Wash it off gently with lukewarm water using a cloth. It can be done daily.
OR, Boil some milk until it thickens and allows it cool down. Apply it on the skin and leave it to dry out. Wash it off with water.
This remedy can be used once or twice daily. You can also add few drops of rose water before applying milk on the skin.
Besides milk, the milk cream has its own advantages when it comes to dry skin. It is good for exfoliation as it has lactic acid. It is an excellent moisturizer and it helps preserve the pH levels of the skin.
Apply a mixture of one teaspoon milk, few drops of lemon and 2 teaspoons of milk cream on the skin. Leave it there for some time before taking a shower. It can be done daily.
OR, mix 3-4 tablespoon of gram flour and milk cream to form a thick paste. Apply it on the skin and leave it there for about 15 minutes. Wash it off later with lukewarm water. It can be done once daily
Avocado-Honey Pack:
Avocado is useful in treating the severe cases of dry skin as it is rich with natural oil and moisturizers.
Vitamin and A and E help in maintaining the health of the skin. The avocado paste can be applied on the dry skin to give it nourishment.
Mix a half of mashed avocado and one fourth cup honey in a bowl to make a smooth thick paste if you want home remedies for extremely dry skin. Apply the paste on your face and leave it for about 15 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water. It can be used once or twice a week.
Conclusion:
The remedies mentioned above are beneficial in their own ways. In addition to these, maintaining a healthy balanced diet rich in all the essential nutrients, a healthy lifestyle and exercise are also important for healthy glowing skin. Check an earlier post on skin nutrients here

![Conair Facial Sauna Review[Well Affordable]](https://timelessbeautysolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Pink-Photo-Wedding-Pinterest-Graphic.png)
by The Beauty Doctors | Aug 29, 2017 | Products Review
Name:
Conair Facial Sauna
Product Type: Facial sauna
Owner: Conair Corporation
Price: $24.99
Rating: 4.2/5
If you`re reading this, then I`m sure you are interested in facial saunas, and now you want to know which one is the right to buy. Reading facial sauna reviews is the right place to start so you can compare before you buy.
This post is about Conair Facial Sauna’s review and will cover the positives and negatives and if it`s worth the money.
But first I`d like to mention that over 1,188 customers reviewed this product on Amazon and gave it 4 stars out of 4.
Conair Facial Sauna Review 
Conair facial sauna is a suitable alternative to conventional creams, lotions, and other solutions for deep cleansing and moisturizing the skin.
However, it does not replace conventional regimen completely. Therefore, people can at the best reduce the usage of some of the chemicals containing products.
By using this device for benefits promised by it such as true glow by the Conair facial cleansing system.
If you`re looking for the best home facial steamer with spa-quality results then Conair facial sauna is up there with the best.
What Does It Entail:
Like any other steam-based deep cleansing device that uses steam for such a cleansing job, Conair Facial Sauna too has a water chamber and funnel-like part from which you get the required steam.
But unlike many steamers, this product also has a cooling mist technology.
Therefore, hot steam opens the pores on the skin and makes them wide enough for any dirt or grime to be removed.
While the cold mist that is released afterward closes those openings, making the skin look younger.
The device needs to be assembled and used as instructed(but, it`s so easy you can do it with your eyes closed and still get it right)
What Does It Promise To Deliver?
The product is basically for deep cleansing of pores, and thereafter, deep hydration.
Remember no matter what skincare product you are using, if the pores are clogged, it will stop products from penetrating deep into the skin. The promised benefits include.
- Removal of toxins, dead skin cells, and destruction of bacteria, preventing acne;
- Removes dirt
- Easy to use
- Light and easy tooperate
- Improvement in skin’s texture, making it soft, supple, resilient, and yet firm;
- Reduction of dryness of the skin, and removal of fine lines as well as wrinkles
- Added glow to the skin
Does Conair Facial Sauna Deliver?
It does deliver though satisfaction differs from person to person because the type of skin, skin damage, and extent of such damage differ from person to person.
But I`d say the product works very well and for the price tag, you got nothing to lose really.
Though the product is promoted for deep cleansing, it cannot replace the conventional deep cleansing products completely. Likewise, it cannot replace moisturizer so you will have to use moisturizer even if you use this product.
(Case in Point: your beautician will steam your face using a professional facial steamer, and advice you to moisturize)
Cleansing of pores is also possible only after initially cleansing away some of the foreign materials or makeup.
Effectively, it is not a replacement but a product that augments the benefits of existing products.
How Much Does It Cost?
The price varies from $20 to $70 or more. On average, it is available for $25 from Amazon at the time of this post.
There are no other consumables per se. So the expenses or costs for getting the desired results from this device are limited to this cost of the kit.
How Easy Is It To Use?
The product is very easy to use. All that you need to do is, fill the device’s water chamber, affix the required cone, and link it to a power source.
Thereafter, you can select the number of minutes you want the steam on their faces.
The device will take care of the rest. In fact, it is so easy to set up that there is no separate instruction booklet. Relevant instructions are given on the package.
How Long May It Take To See Results?
The results are visible immediately, but this depends upon which results are expected.
The product does reduce aging symptoms such as fine lines as well as wrinkles, but such effects are not noticeable immediately.
You need to use the facial sauna at least once a week regularly for at least six months to see a striking difference.
However, the skin does acquire some glow, suppleness, and resilience, along with some firmness almost immediately.
Though this effect is temporary, it does make the skin look youthful and camouflages the wrinkles and fine lines and other signs of aging.
Who Is It For?
It is for both genders, and for any skin type. Since it hydrates the skin, it is also good for people who have dry skins.
Pros And Cons
The purpose of writing this Conair Facial Sauna Review is not only to look at the positives, like in all my reviews, but I do also look at the pros and cons of a product.
Pros:
- It has both steaming as well as cooling features;
- It has a funnel-like shape which makes it easier for the face to get the maximum out of the steaming and cooling features;
- There is a timer that allows five different settings, as well as a switch to switch it on or off;
- It`s quite affordable;
- There is an auto-off feature as well;
- A nasal cone forms part of this system which is useful for taking in that steam for relieving pain due to sinus.
- Another accessory that comes in the kit is a facial brush. In all two attachments are provided for it. One of these is for exfoliating and cleansing and the other is essentially a sponge for moisturizing. The user, however, needs to buy 2AA batteries for it.
- The product is affordable;
- It comes with 1 year (limited) warranty.
- No chemicals are used for deep cleansing and hydrating the skin with this product.
- This product can be used by either gender and does not harm sensitive skin since no chemicals are used.
Cons:
- The Construction quality of this device is a suspect. Though it can be used regularly, due care needs to be taken to ensure that it does not break easily;(but having said that,my facial sauna is now 4 years old and still working perfectly and nothing is broken.So I might say, it looks fragile and is also very light but lasts when taken care of.
- The product is a bit small for usage by both genders;
- Users desirous of using the moisturizing sponge or exfoliating their skins with the brush attachment need to be prepared to spend on 2AA batteries.
- The sauna cones can accumulate dust when they are not being used.
- The results from this product are temporary, and long term, as well as regular usage, is necessary to get better results.
- The product requires 120 V AC.
- There is no money-back guarantee offered with this product.

by The Beauty Doctors | Aug 24, 2017 | Microdermabrasion Machine Advice, Products Review, Skin Care Tools
Name: Neutrogena Microdermabrasion SystemWebsite: http://www.neutrogena.comOwner: Johnson & Johnson Consumer, Inc.Price: $22.99Rating: 4.5/5What does it entail:
This Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System Review will help you understand the product better and decide if it`s what you need.
The blue coloured puff in the kit needs to be affixed on the head attachment, which in turn is affixed to the applicator.
The applicator needs to be run on the face at different spots, for about 2 minutes.
After that, the face can be rinsed, and the puff can be discarded. The process needs to be repeated not more than thrice each week.
The applicator should not be used near the eye. Other exfoliating agents, whether chemical or physical varieties, should be stopped when using this system.
The applicator should also not be subjected to running water or immersed in water.
What does it promise to deliver:
Neutrogena’s microdermabrasion system promises to exfoliate the skin and in the process, revitalize skin, making it brighter and fairer, apart from making it firm.
Benefits from the process include skin becoming smoother and even-toned, with fewer fine lines, wrinkles, scars, blackheads and whiteheads, effectively diminishing all aging signs.
Does it deliver?
Yes. The product does manage to deliver all that it promised and more, provided instructions are followed.
How much does it cost?
The cost varies as per the usage needed since the extent of skin damage would differ from person to person.
Though positive results are noticeable from day one, the graph of improvement continues for almost three to four weeks before stagnating in most cases.
The blue-colored puffs are consumables, and they need to be discarded after each use.
The recommended frequency of microdermabrasion with this system is thrice a week in the first four weeks.
Thereafter, reducing it to once a week and then to once a fortnight or as needed.
The product with its 12 puffs costs approximately $23, but puffs would have to be bought regularly.
These are available in the market as refills. A pack of 24 puffs can cost as much as $11.89 or so.
Some people may not need to use up the 12 puffs, so Neutrogena Microdermabrasion system would cost them merely $23 for a longer period than one month.
Whereas others may need to buy more puffs and consequently, the cost would increase in their case.
Like these consumable puffs, the unit also requires AA batteries, which need to be replaced periodically, and they do cost.
Notwithstanding such costs of consumable, microdermabrasion with Neutrogena’s micro dermabrasion system costs much less than what would be spent in spas.
How easy is it to use?
The product is very easy to use. The blue colored puff is easily attached to the head by merely pressing it on it.
The head, in turn, is affixed on the applicator with a snapping arrangement.
Only care that needs to be taken is that puff should be wet before the head is affixed on the applicator.
The applicator uses AA batteries, which is the only flaw, though this factor makes this system highly portable.
How long may it take to see results?
This also depends upon the extent of damage and expectations from the product.
Benefits such as skin becoming luminous and fresh in appearance are the main purposes of the device and that can be noticed almost immediately.
Other benefits such as reduction of scars, age related symptoms such as fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin tone, etc., will take a while longer to be visible.
Results can vary as per skin type and reasons such as hormones as well, though the product is for all skin types.
Usually, using this system thrice each week, for four weeks shows considerable improvement from how the skin was on day one.
Who is it for?
The product is basically an exfoliator so it can be used by any girl or lady. It addresses problems such as acne scars,(check n earlier post on acne scars here) dullness of skin, uneven skin tone, age spots, whiteheads, blackheads, wrinkles, and fine line, apart from making the skin firmer and supple.
Pros:
- It makes the skin look radiant in a month;
- It addresses many skin related problems, and can be used in place of many other skin products and procedures;
- It is a portable product;
- It is affordable product;
- It does not have any chemicals that get into the skin;
Cons:
- Though it is effective against fine lines, wrinkles, scars, etc., the effectiveness varies from one skin to another. Basically, it is an exfoliator so it focuses only on improving the skin’s freshness and cleanliness, which makes the skin look smoother, fairer, and firmer;
- It comes with AA batteries, which may have to be recharged or replaced frequently.
- Different extent of skin damage requires different sizes of micro crystals for microdermabrasion. That is not possible here since the pre-dosed blue coloured puffs have same sized micro crystals on them;
- It is not possible to focus on one spot like in diamond tip variety of microdermabrasion systems. Nevertheless, vibration from applicator certainly helps to focus it in an area of the face, if not the specific spot on the face.
Money Back
Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System does not come with any money back clause.
