Is Your Wrinkle-Fighting Routine Up to the Challenge?

There's no more denying it, I'm at the stage in my life now when I need to watch what I eat, drink or do. Aside from that, I also observe that my skin needs more than gallons of water for it to be as supple as it used to be.

I was reading up on caring for the skin tips when I stumbled upon this quiz---Is Your Wrinkle-Fighting Routine Up to the Challenge?---over at TotalBeauty.com. Here's my Wrinkle-Fighting RX:

Step 1: Cleanse -- You generally don't cleanse too often (twice a day is plenty) and your skin is relatively cooperative, but just like most of us, you're not immune to bad-skin days. Use a hydrating cream formula (like L'Oréal Paris Advanced Revitalift Radiant Smoothing Cream Cleanser, $6.99) to help exfoliate and smooth skin. Exfoliate once a week with a gentle scrub to really slough skin and promote cell renewal.

Step 2: Moisturize -- To avoid "mood swings" in your skin, stick to the same products daily without switching it up too often. After cleansing, slather a good, rich moisturizer on your face and neck and hands, which also show wrinkles as we age. (One that TotalBeauty.com readers love is L'Oréal Paris Advanced Revitalift Complete Cream SPF 18, $15.99.) Forego the SPF cream at night for an anti-aging treatment instead.

Step 3: Treat and protect -- Give wrinkles and newly surfacing fine lines a dose of extra attention with a concentrated treatment of anti-aging wonder retinol (or Vitamin A). (Try L'Oréal Paris Advanced Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate High Potency Serum, $13.50.) P.S. Since retinol can make your skin more sun-sensitive, now is as good a time as any to increase your daily SPF levels.

Take the L'Oréal Paris RevitaLift 8 Week Challenge to see just how well L'Oréal Paris Revitalift products can transform your visible wrinkles after eight weeks of use. You could qualify for a chance to win a trip to Paris (plus $2,000 of spending money) or dozens of weekly prizes (as if smooth skin wasn't prize enough)!
