Anti Aging and Skin Care Products - Once and For All

With all the anti-aging and skin care products that are available, it is hard to tell which ones work, which ones have the longest lasting effects and which ones just sit on the shelf. Once a good reliable product is found, a person will usually continue to use it. The question is though, what is the best anti aging skin care products that are going to work for you once and for all?
Knowledge is key when it comes to a lot of things in life, and your skin care is no different. If you have oily skin, you should stay way from heavier products, these are more likely to keep your skin oily and will even weigh it down, not allowing it to breath. If you have drier skin, you should avoid those products that have drying agents in them like alcohol. These products will tend to do nothing more than to dry your skin out even more. Combination skin is both oily and dry, there are specially formulated products just for combination skin.
We have heard a lot about collagen as being two anti aging products that will help your skin retain it's elasticity, but the truth of the matter is, unless collagen is injected into the body itself, creams that contain it will not do anything for anti aging. You skin can not absorb collagen through the pores, there for when you use a product that contains collagen, all you are doing is essentially letting it lie on top of the skin's surface.
Products containing vitamin A, C and E as well as products that contain soy will help firm your skin as well as reverse some of the damage that the sun has done over time. This may be the best way to keep your skin firmer and younger looking.
