8 Ways to Keep Wrinkles at Bay

A lot of people, women mostly are devastated when the first few wrinkles escaped the well-nourished and moisturized face and show up on your forehead indicating the start of more wrinkles to come. There are a few who are not bothered by them, but a great majority simply finds it non-appealing in any way. With a few and simple skin care tips, combined with healthy and balanced smart diet and good lifestyle choices, one can fight the ageing process in a natural and non-invasive way.

1. Hydration. This is important for ageing people because with ageing, the skin loses its elasticity. And that can result to developing wrinkles and fine lines. Drinking eight glasses of water every day is the best way to counter wrinkles. With a good supply of water in your body, toxins are flushed out, digestion is improved, joints are lubricated and skin is hydrated. Drinking water is the cheapest skin care regimen available.
2. Moisturize. Hydration is not enough. You will also need to quench your parched and thirsty skin with moisturizing oil or lotion. Body moisturizers should be of organic emollients such as shea butter and jojoba oil to smoothen and soothe the skin. Facial moisturizers should specifically address fine lines and wrinkles. When wearing makeup you should apply a light moisturizer to layer the under makeup for daytime and use a heavy duty moisturizing cream at night. For those with oily skin, they should use non-oil based moisturizer so that they don’t clog pores or add to the oil slick.  
3. Wear a Sunscreen. Being sunsmart means wearing sunblock whenever you are outdoors and not just when you’re in the beach. Walking to your car in an open parking lot, watching soccer game, or having coffee at an outdoor café – these can all contribute to over-exposure to the sun. Not only are the sun’s UVA and UVB rays damaging to the skin but they can cause wrinkles, too.

4. Store and eat your fruits and vegetables. The thing that keeps the skin elastic, smooth and firm is collagen, Ageing reduces the body’s capacity to produce collagen. This could result in fine lines, wrinkles and saggy skin. Collagen may be boosted by drinking soy milk, tucking in more Vitamin C-rich dark green vegetables like spinach, asparagus and broccoli, red fruits, tomatoes and beets. Omega fatty acids also help stimulate collagen production which can be provided by salmon, tuna, cashew nuts, avocados and almonds.
5. Green Tea. Make this a substitute for your coffee habit. Sip soothing anti-oxidant rich green tea to protect the skin against free radicals to delay the ageing process.
6. Detox. It’s time to get rid of all toxin-filled habits. Engage in blood-circulating exercise, quit smoking, practice clean living, and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Puffing cigarette can suck out all the collagen that keeps the wrinkles at bay. Similarly, excessive consumption of alcohol dehydrates the skin making it thin and causing wrinkles and the unappealing splotchy look.
7. Beauty Sleep Regimen. Eight hours of sleep every night can regenerate skin. Lack of sleep translates to dry and lackluster skin and no moisturizer can ever repair the damage. When your skin regenerates, you’ll look remarkably glowing and radiant.
8. Be Positive. People who worry a lot tend to develop deep creases across their forehead and between their brows cause by excessive frowning. Avoid scrunching up your forehead and channel optimism and feel your muscles on the face to relax instantly as you de-frown your face.
