The best cream for young skin is one that does not contain any pore-clogging ingredients. The total formula must be well-designed, too. There is no reason that a younger person cannot use anti-aging creams, as long as they contain the right ingredients.

The problem with most creams is that they contain mineral oil or petrolatum. The petroleum-based oils cause a greasy feeling and contribute to breakouts.

Even some of the natural creams are too thick and greasy to be used on a regular basis. Examples of those include cocoa butter and wheat germ oil.
Something lightweight like grape seed oil is a great choice. In addition to not clogging the pores, it will help keep makeup and dirt out of your pores, because of the unique filming ability.

Grape seed oil right out of the bottle is not very pleasant, although some people swear by it. I recommend creams that contain an emulsified form of the oil, which means it has been mixed with water. That makes it even lighter.

The right cream for young skin is one that does not contain artificial preservatives or added fragrances. Those ingredients are known to cause allergic reactions. You could use them for a while without having a problem, but they are sensitizing agents. As time goes by, you become more sensitive to them. You might not have a reaction until you were 30. By then, you probably wouldn't know what caused the problem.

Most cosmetic companies will say that the inclusion of an artificial preservative is necessary to prevent natural oils from becoming rancid.

There is no doubt that a preservative is necessary, but it doesn't have to be an artificial one. Natural vitamin E is an excellent preservative. Most companies will not choose that ingredient, because it costs too much.

Natural vitamin E is a good ingredient to have in a cream for young skin.

Many acne sufferers have low blood levels of the antioxidant. It is essential for the skin's health.

You should always use a good moisturizer on your face after washing or showering. With age, the skin's cells tend to dry out and the dryness contributes to wrinkles.

If you have been unhappy with the creams you have tried in the past, don't give up. Just follow the recommendations above for choosing a cream for young skin.

They will help you keep your youthful appearance as the years roll by.
