For a long time now you may have been considering the art of a facelift to restore your youthful look, but you are not sure where to begin. Today we will share with you four tips to help you get over the hill and eliminate your wrinkles. As we age wrinkles, crow’s feet and skin folds become more noticeable, and by the time we find an effective method our wrinkles become increasingly unpleasant. Eventually you may exhaust all theses methods, but starting to take better care of your skin now will help you fight off the effects of aging skin.
Avoid Overexposure to Sun Rays
By now most of us know the dangers of skin cancer, but be aware that the more we expose our skin to the sun is the increased risk of causing wrinkles around the eyes, lips and forehead. If you want to have a tan, resort to spray tans instead of exposing your face to the sun for a prolonged time period. In any event where you step outside, it is imperative to protect your face with sunscreen, hats and sunglasses. One in five Americans develop skin cancer in their lifetime, which is 90 percent of cases are caused by the sun, so protecting your skin will save you from both cancer and wrinkles.
Quit Smoking
It is a fact that smoking is dangerous for your overall health, but it is also one of the leading causes of wrinkled skin and discoloration. According to a study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, research proved that smoking speeds up the aging process. The report showed that smokers demonstrated more sagging of upper eyelids and facial wrinkles were more pronounced between the nose and mouth. Smoking is also the prime reason why skin blemishes manifest.
Moisturize More Often
It is imperative that you always moisturize your face and body. Make sure that the moisturizer you find is exclusively for the face, as it will help eliminate crow’s feet and reduce signs of wrinkles.
Always Stay Hydrated
Never go anywhere without water. A person’s skin that is well hydrated is less susceptible to fine lines and deep creases when compared to dehydrated individuals. This also helps put back water lost during exercise and strenuous activities, so do more for your skin by drinking water all the time.
