10 Best Ways to Reduce Wrinkles
Wrinkles are an inevitable part of aging, but wrinkles can be changed. You can prevent getting even more wrinkles and diminish the appearance of those you have. There are more natural and less expensive ways to reduce wrinkles rather than go to a plastic surgeon.
Wear Sunscreen
Although spending long hours in the sun can do wonders for your tan, it also can give you premature wrinkles. If possible, stay out of the sun during the hours when it is strongest, which is usually from 12 – 2pm. When you do go outside, be sure to wear sunscreen to help protect your skin.
Don’t Wash Your Face Everyday
Only do this with your doctor’s permission if you happen to be suffering from a facial skin aliment. But not washing your face everyday can leave your natural skin oils on your skin, which helps to keep your facial skin supple.
Use Proper Water Temperature
Use only lukewarm or tepid water to wash your face in. This is because very hot water can strip all of the natural oils from your face, emphasising the appearance of any wrinkles you already have. Don’t scrub at your face harshly, either. Be gentle with your facial skin.
Sleep Wiser
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, sleeping on your side can encourages wrinkle growth wherever the cheek or brow hits the pillow. To reduce wrinkles, try to sleep on your back and, more importantly, get enough quality sleep every night. This is usually about eight hours for women.
Quit Smoking
Smoking prematurely ages your skin by reducing circulation, drying out the skin and giving it a yellow shade. This yellow shade will also match your teeth. If you don’t smoke, try to avoid enclosed areas filled with tobacco smoke so that you do not suffer the affects of second-hand smoke.
Eat Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
You need to eat five servings a day anyway for other health reasons, but fruits and vegetables can also slow the aging of your skin. This is because fruits and vegetables are full of antioxidants, which help protect the skin from damage. It also contains vitamins to help keep your skin supple.
Take Omega-3 Fatty Acid
Omega-3 fatty acid is a good type of fat found in fish oils. Like vitamins, omega-3 also helps keep your skin soft and supple. If you can’t eat three or more servings of fish a week, then try taking fish oil supplements. However, before you do that, please check with your doctor to be sure the capsules or liquids do not clash with any medications you are currently taking.
Drink Water
Water helps support your circulation, which speeds nutrients to your skin to keep it in good condition.
Treat Your Eyes Nicely
Don’t be vain. If you have to squint a lot, then that places more wrinkles around your eyes and can contribute to headaches. Use sunglasses, reading glasses or get your eyes checked for comfortable vision.
Get Wrinkly Friends
If you hang around people or animals that are really wrinkly, you’ll look much more youthful by comparison.

Wrinkle Creams … Hope or Hype?
Whether it be the newspaper, magazines, even online you see these ads promoting these creams as a godsend in reducing or eliminating your wrinkles. They are promising to work just as well as the more invasive procedures like Restalyne, Juva Derm, and Botox.
Can they work miracles? If you are skeptical, you are not alone. Doctors are also questioning what these creams actually can do for you.
These anti-aging creams focus on compounds called pentapeptides which are small clusters of long-chain amino acids that work as chemical messengers in your body. Some of the popular wrinkle creams are Olay, Strivectin-SD, Wrinkle Relax, and Principal Secret Reclaim line.
Doctors will tell you there aren’t any medical studies showing these creams work, however, experts are saying there is definitely some scientific fact behind these pentapeptides.
Collagen is the key in retaining youthful skin. As you age, the collagen levels decline which causes skin to lose its support and wrinkles appear. These creams are supposed to increase collagen production which allows firmer, younger skin within 12 weeks.
The makers of the products do not claim that it is better than a medical procedure, but claim that if you aren’t yet ready for a medical procedure, these products are great for someone who wants great skin care products you can use at home.
These products are made of a lot more than just pentapeptides. They contain vitamins and herbs with anti-aging properties. Some doctors say however, what happens on top the skin, doesn’t necessarily affect what goes on underneath the top skin layers.
Botox destroys a protein that is involved in releasing a neurotransmitter that keeps muscles tense, which allows wrinkles to form. When that tensing motion is stopped, and the muscle relaxes, the wrinkle disappears.
Botox injections cost around $400 each. They take 2 to 3 weeks to see results. They must be repeated every 4 to 6 months. Using the wrinkle creams is much cheaper than this. So if you are looking for quick, long-lasting results, go for the Botox. If you are looking for a more subtle, longer-lasting result, the creams would work great for you.
