Why are some of us plagued by early wrinkles?
The “experts” fault everything from sun damage and poor hydration to a bad diet and faulty genes. Even smiling too much is said to cause wrinkles.
But there’s one cause you probably never suspected: your own skin cream.
Even worse than that, your skin cream could actually accelerate early wrinkling.
Earth’s Biggest Gift to Beauty

“I couldn’t believe my eyes after I washed off the mask. I went to the grocery store this morning, and the cashier complimented me on my beautiful complexion.
When I first put it on, my skin literally pulsated. It was like I could feel all the goo coming out of my pores. And after I washed it away, it looked like I’d washed a little age off my face, too.
I’ve found my new beauty secret! It’s different than anything I’ve ever tried. And I love that it doesn’t have any chemicals in it.”
Sierra exfoliates, nourishes and hydrates your skin.
That’s what one of my employees, Tiffany, told me. She’d tried just about every type of facial mask on the market looking for a way to brighten up her skin. But the results never seemed to last for more than a day, at most. That is … until she tried my Sierra Nourishing Clay Mask.

And this protection is exactly what you need to keep your skin smooth and firm — no matter what your age. In fact, antioxidants could be the reason why one 50-year-old woman can have smooth skin and another can have wrinkles that make her look many years older.

In spite of your best efforts, your skin gets a little drier every year. You can see lines and wrinkles forming. And your skin isn’t as soft and smooth as it used to be.
You do everything the experts say you should. You cleanse your skin… apply toner… moisturize. But it just isn’t enough to reduce the appearance of aging.
In my opinion, all that cleansing, toning and moisturizing may be accelerating the effects of aging. Because most “beauty products” aren’t good for your skin. They’re loaded with harsh chemicals.

But there’s one cause you probably never suspected: your own skin cream.
Even worse than that, your skin cream could actually accelerate early wrinkling.
It’s because a lot of creams that are supposed to keep you looking good have the wrong blend of ingredients. This faulty combination of elements on the skin actually speeds up the aging process.
But thank goodness, there’s a way to protect yourself. It starts with knowing the difference between the creams that stop the effects of aging and the ones that trigger wrinkles.
Stress Busting Skin Care Tips

Feeling stressed? Your skin may be feeling it, too. In fact, stress is one of the most common factors that cause your skin and body to age.
Chronic stress has been proven to affect your health negatively.1 It can also accelerate the aging of your cells because your telomeres shorten at the end of chromosomes in your DNA.
Telomeres are found on each DNA strand in your skin cells. These telomeres get shorter every time a cell divides. If you have shorter telomeres, that means you have older skin cells. This is usually when you’ll start seeing fine lines and wrinkles.
