There are plenty of ways to get younger-looking skin nowadays, starting with Botox. The popular procedure may deliver amazing results, but it isn’t the most affordable method out there. If Botox doesn’t seem to be in your financial future, we recommend trying a moisturizer instead. Thankfully, some of the best drugstore moisturizers for mature skin can be found in the drugstore and won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

Why You Need To Try The Best Drugstore Moisturizers For Mature Skin

Moisturizer is an important component of every anti-aging skincare routine for its hydrating and nourishing properties. In fact, dry skin is one of the leading causes of wrinkles in those with mature skin. “Wrinkles appear more prominent if your skin is dry,” explains Lisa Airan, MD, a New York City dermatologist. “Moisturized skin appears more plump and with less wrinkles.” She recommends using your moisturizer daily to help prevent wrinkles and keep your skin healthy.

Not convinced your moisturizer is working? Ashley Magovern, MD, says that it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s your moisturizer’s fault; it could actually be something that you’re doing wrong. “Sometimes moisturizers can’t do their job well because aging and/or sun-damaged skin has too many layers of dead cells built up, so the moisturizers can’t penetrate. A little gentle exfoliation should do the trick, then you moisturize,” she tells Reader’s Digest.
