Five Effective Facial Shaping and Lifting Creams

Do you feel that your skin looks worn down by age every time you look in the mirror? Or simply, sometimes you wonder why your face seems so large and round and is not as attractive as those celebrities with tiny faces and high cheekbones? It is common nowadays for women to feel pressured by society to achieve ideal standards of beauty, one of which is a small face that shows no visible signs of aging. The cosmetic and skincare industry have capitalized on this and recently, we've been bombarded by commercials and ads of products that claim to be able to tighten up our skin and make our faces look smaller and more youthful. However, there are so many choices of such products, which ones actually work? Read on to find out!

My own experience: Although this product is slightly pricey, it is probably one of the most effective products on the market. Applied after the toning step, this product makes the skin feel moisturized and refreshed. If you follow the massage steps given in the product, you will immediately see a noticeable tightening effect of your skin.

L'oreal Revitalift Face, contours, and neck

Moisturizing factor: 4 stars

My own experience: This product should be massaged into the skin in an upward stroke to help lift the skin. Although the product comes in a rather thick cream, it is rather easily absorbed by the skin. After the product is completely absorbed by the skin, the skin looks smoother and the face does look lifted a bit.

Benefit firmology toning and smoothing serum

Product description: benefit claims that this is a product which can be applied before or after makeup and is a "complexion lingerie." It helps replenish the skin with plenty of moisture and vitamin A and makes the skin appear firmer by aiding in the production of collagen.

Absorbance: 2.5 stars

Tightening factor: 2.5 stars

Moisturizing factor: 3 stars

comfort: 3 stars

My own experience: Rather than take this as a skin firming and tightening product, it is probably better to just consider it as a cosmetic which can help even skin tone. Because this product comes in a pink colored pearly sheen, it gives the illusion of tighter skin when applied to the face. However, it doesn't actually correct the problem of sagging skin. furthermore, this product is slightly thick and hard to absorb.

Lancome renergie morpholift repositioning cream

Product description: The product claims to use new R.A.R.E. technology which can help increase the production of protein in order to repair the collagen network on the face. It's suitable for use on the face and skin in order to provide an all-over firming and tightening effect. The smooth cream will glide on the user's skin effortlessly and will be a pleasure to use.

My own experience: Although this product comes in a heavy thick cream and requires some time to completely absorb into the skin, the moisturizing factor of the product is quite good and it has a pleasant scent. After applying it the first time, there was a noticeable change in the sagging skin of the chin and it's quite good at smoothing wrinkles as well.

ZA wonder shaper for face

My own experience: Follow the directions that came with the product and massage the product twice a day. The light gel form of this product is very very easily absorbed by the skin and you must massage in an upward direction from the chin up. After the first application, you can see immediate results but the smell of the product is slightly strange.
