Prevention
of WrinklesWhether
you're starting early or you already have wrinkles, there are a lot of preventative
steps you can take to minimize the effect of wrinkles on your face. This article
lists the guidelines you should follow for the best prevention of wrinkles.
Quitting
smoking helps prevent wrinkles
If you needed another reason to quit
smoking, here it is: smoking makes wrinkles worse. Cigarette smoke is one of the
most concentrated sources of free radicals known to man, and smoking exposes your
skin to all those damaging free radicals. These can cause breakdowns in the upper
layers of the skin, which hasten thinning of the skin and loss of elasticity -
and wrinkles. Smoking
also robs your skin of moisture. Lack of moisture is unhealthy for the skin and
can make existing wrinkles look even deeper. Ultraviolet
(UV) radiation causes wrinkles
Stay out of the sun as much as possible,
especially during the "danger hours" when UV light is at its peak (that's
10 am to 4 pm). UV light hastens the thinning of skin and wrinkles by damaging
the epidermis and dermis. By the way - tanning salons are just as bad, or worse,
than natural sunlight at causing wrinkles. Always
wear sunscreen on your face when going outside in the sunlight. Wear a hat, too,
if you can. Remember to reapply your sunscreen after swimming or engaging in sweaty
sports activities. A good sun block does a great deal to prevent wrinkles. Moisturizing
helps prevent wrinkles
When you moisturize your skin adequately,
the epidermis stays healthy and hydrated. This prevents the epidermis from separating
and sagging, creating wrinkles. So moisturize daily and make sure you're drinking
enough water (minimum 64 oz. or 8 tumblers full) every day. There
are many moisturizers available that contain additional wrinkle prevention ingredients
like antioxidants and sun block. Develop
a regimen now to prevent wrinkles
Everyone
who is concerned about skin care should follow a daily regimen for maximum dermal
health as well as to prevent wrinkles. Even if you have just the barest beginning
of wrinkles, an anti wrinkle cream or product can frequently stop those developing
wrinkles in their tracks and prevent them from becoming deeper and more noticeable. Your
daily regimen should consist of: washing, applying your anti wrinkle product,
moisturizing and applying sun block. Most anti wrinkle products should only be
used twice per day, morning and evening, and nearly all are compatible with a
moisturizer. It
is important that you choose a good anti wrinkle product. Ineffective products
will have little or no effect on wrinkles, while the best products can create
noticeable improvements within a few weeks. Things
you can do to minimize wrinkles
Although everyone tends to get wrinkles
as they age, there are a number of things you can do to reduce the wrinkles you
already have and hopefully minimize wrinkles in the future. The most important
of these include: Avoid
the sun and/or use sunscreen
Don't smoke
Use a topical anti-wrinkle cream
Moisturize daily
Drink plenty of water
Exercise
Eat plenty of
fruits & vegetables.
