Yoshara Naturals : Anti Wrinkle Almond Night Cream

  

As we age, the skin loses hydration, resulting in reduced firmness and elasticity and a key factor in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Intensely hydrating creams & serums optimize moisturization and support the skin's renewal process to reveal a rejuvenated, revitalized and maybe a younger looking skin.

KEY INGREDIENTS &THEIR BENEFITS

• Coconut Oil: Contains antibacterial and antifungal properties that aid in skin healing (1). Coconut oil is also rich in antioxidants and other essential vitamins that can make the skin supple and healthy.In general, coconut oil reduces wrinkles in the following ways:Is a natural moisturizer, by preventing skin dryness that is often caused by a vitamin deficiency (1). Contains an essential emollient, which helps reduce wrinkling and makes the skin softer (1). The oil’s antioxidant properties can prevent the formation of and eliminate free radicals that are one of the primary causes of early aging (1).

• Almond Oil: Contains vitamin E, which is one of the most potent antioxidants known. It can help repair some of the damage done to the collagen layer. The oil is especially rich in proteins, and can provide the amino acids required for the formation of collagen (2). External application of the oil can prevent dehydration by reducing moisture loss from the skin providing overall nourishment to the skin so it can be healthy with a radiant glow.

• Almond Butter: Hydrating, moisturizing has natural emollient properties and is rich in minerals, anti-oxidants and vitamins (3).

• Vitamin E Oil: Topical application of vitamin E oil promotes production of two important protein components namely, collagen and elastin that improves skin elasticity (4). This in turn reduces the appearances of the visible age spots, fine lines or wrinkles, and gives a younger-looking skin. Its antioxidant properties further fight off damaging effects of free radicals, and minimizes the chances of appearances of new wrinkles (4). For this reason, vitamin E is used as a key ingredient in several anti-aging creams and lotions. Vitamin E also prevents water loss from the skin, and helps retain its natural moisture making dull, dry skin look healthy and well-moisturized (4). If it is used for the purpose of deep pore cleansing of dry skin on a regular basis, it restores the normal oil balance of the skin.

• Ylang Ylang Essential Oil: Can be used on its own or may be often be combined with coconut oil for greater skin moisturizing. This ingredient is believed to be full of phenols, which are often used in chemical peels due to their skin lightening properties (5). The Ylang Ylang essential oils for skin care may also be helpful in filling in wrinkles, and fighting acne by balancing oily skin (5).

The anti wrinkle almond cream, came in a plastic pot with a screw on lid, is white in color, thick in consistency, rich in texture and has a ylang ylang fragrance to it.

To use, I dot my face with the cream and gently massage it in until everything is absorbed.  As with every Yoshara Naturals product, this too is 100% natural and free of preservatives and chemicals and requires refrigeration.

I would describe this product as a deeply moisturizing natural anti-wrinkle cream that could help repair the skin and minimize the appearance of fine lines. I do find the cream to be very rich so less is more here. I have dry/dehydrated/parched skin and the cream initially forms a film on my face which eventually gets absorbed to reveal a well hydrated skin by morning. 

Not well suited for my skin, this cream however would work wonders for mature skin types (38 years plus) where skin nourishment and regeneration are key!
