Fountain of youth anyone?
For many centuries, people have been trying to maintain their youthful appearance. In some story books,they talk about the fountain of youth. This fiction has been set aside but as we can see a lot of companies are still trying to make concoctions that will make a person appear younger. Let's take for instance the anti-aging creams. It promises to prevent formation of wrinkles and other aging signs. Because we are only human, we believe whatever the advertisement is telling about the product. Sure, this product might help moiturize the skin but I think the overall effect depends on the person using it. Eventhough a person uses a product every hour of everyday but neglect herself or himself by not eating and hydrating properly, neglecting exercise and sleep, and exposing self to too much sun then the product is useless by itself. Some people forget that they themselves are to blame why they quickly age in appearance. As a result, some people resort to botox. This treatment uses live bacteria to stretch some of the facial line. Although this treatment is regulated and done by experts, there are some people who do it illegally and can possibly pose a threat to an unsuspecting client if incorrectly done. I once saw a couple on TV who had the procedure and ended up in the ICU for more than a month because the person who did the procedure was not highly qualified. Both husband and wife recovered from the complication and filed a lawsuit. Sadly, their desire to look younger has driven them to undergo the procedure that poses some risks. Feeling and looking younger depends our happy and healthy lifestyle.

I think you have some excellent points. You are right, in order to look and be healthy people need to take care of themselves. Smoking also contributes to wrinkles, but that is only a minor reason not to smoke.
Well I don't think people with severe wrinkles think that using the lotions is going to cure them...but they help.
I believe lotion helps, but doesn't restore anything
