To diminish fine lines

When it comes to erasing wrinkles in a flash, makeup artists swear by facial creams infused with light-reflecting particles. The microscopic minerals deflect light away from the face, creating a soft “blurring” effect that camouflages wrinkles, age spots and other skin imperfections. For best results, choose a cream that contains silicone. This mineral has been shown to help fill in fine lines for a smoother complexion. (One we like: No7
