Tips To Reduce Premature Facial Wrinkles And Give Youthful Look

Facial Tips To Prevent Wrinkles

Facial wrinkles are a part of the natural aging process and are unavoidable. With growing age the oils and fats under our skin start to dry up, causing the skin to become dry and less elastic. Due to this loss in elasticity, the skin starts to lose its natural shape and wrinkles begin to appear. However, sometimes, facial wrinkles may begin to appear prematurely. There can be several reasons for premature aging – genetic factors, improper lifestyle, exposure to sunlight, malnutrition, dry skin, and smoking.

Wrinkles are generally irreversible; that is, they cannot be made to disappear completely. There are of course some surgical techniques and special medications available to erase wrinkles, but all these are temporary solutions. Therefore, the best way to avoid premature facial wrinkles is to prevent it.

Here are some preventive steps that can help you maintain healthy and youthful skin for a longer time.

• Moisturize: Applying moisturizer on your skin regularly is the most important step towards maintaining healthy skin. Regular application of moisturizer helps the skin to avoid dryness, which is one of the causes of wrinkles. For moisturizer, you can choose from a variety of oils, lotions, and creams. Commonly available oils like coconut oil, olive oil, and almond oil can act as good moisturizers. For extra benefit, you can also look for moisturizers that are enriched with vitamin E oil. The best time to apply moisturizers is at night, before you go to sleep so that your skin is well moisturized throughout the night.

• Protect: Ensure that your skin gets enough protection from the harsh sunlight and harmful pollution. As far as possible, avoid going out in direct sunlight or coming in contact with harmful chemicals. Always wear sunscreen lotion with an appropriate sun protection factor (SPF) when you go out in the sun. You can also use an umbrella or wear protective clothing to avoid direct sunlight. Besides these, you should be careful about the cosmetics you use on your skin. On many occasions, it is found that unsuitable cosmetics do more harm to the skin than good. Therefore, keep an eye on the effect of the cosmetics you use; if you see any adverse effect, replace it immediately.

• Diet: Diet is an important way to keep your skin healthy. You should eat plenty of green vegetables, fresh fruits, cereals, whole grains, nuts, eggs, dairy products, and fish. Do avoid alcohol, caffeinated drinks, and smoking.

• Drink: The last, but probably one of the most important tips: Drink a sufficient amount of water throughout the day so that your skin remains hydrated and healthy.
