Aging is a natural process every person has to go through. Women, in particular, find it hard to deal with the effects of aging on their appearance. Most women first notice fine lines below the eyes when they hit their thirties. To erase these ugly lines or wrinkles, they resort to a plethora of anti-wrinkle creams, lotions, and eye masks.

Common Ingredient:

These options may show incredible results but using them is not considered safe in the long run as most of these age-defying products are loaded with certain compounds such as AHAs and Parabens which cause more damage to the skin and your health than any of the benefits you might receive from them. Alpha hydroxy acids are a group of amino acids added to anti-wrinkle potions to improve the absorption of nutrients.

Their overuse makes the skin more prone to sun damage as the UV rays are better able to reach the inner layers of the skin. Parabens are generally added as a preservative but their use is linked to an increased risk of developing certain cancers.

Hence, after weighing all the pros and cons of using age-defying masks or potions, it is concluded that taking help of natural procedures is a lot better if you want to achieve a youthful appearance.
