The fancy looking little tubes and jars that line the isles in your local drug stores and the even more luxurious ones that sit beneath soft lights on the counters in day spas around the country advertise that they will diminish wrinkles and combat aging.  But many people consistently call into question the validity of these statements.  The truth of the matter is: creams and  lotions can only do so much and when seeking to prevent signs of premature aging, it is best to start young.  Some of the most important things to take into consideration when caring for the well being of your skin is to make sure that you get enough exercise, keep a healthy diet, get enough sleep and stay out of the sun for prolonged periods of time.  That way as your age climbs, your skin will always stay a step or two behind.
