How to Reduce and Prevent Wrinkles
Howdini brings us preventative steps to fight wrinkles by discussing a dermatologist's ideas about what works and what doesn't work for preventing wrinkles. Preventing wrinkles is the best way to reduce wrinkles, but this video talks about diet, rest, and staying out of the sun as other ways to prevent wrinkles too.
Step 1: Hydration, Hygeine, Diet
A good diet and proper hydration are important for good health, and good skin health is no exception. Eat a well-balanced diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water for hydration to help reduce the signs of aging and prevent pre-mature wrinkles.
Using a good moisturizer to help maintain and retain the moisture you put into your body by staying hydrated. Moisturized skin is plump and youthful looking, and fine lines caused by drying and flaking won't show as much this way.
Do not over wash your face, or you risk drying it. Using moisturized soaps only on your face, and moisturizing body washes for your body, can help keep skin moist, plump and fresh--all of which prevents wrinkles.
Step 2: Avoid the Sun
The sun has long been known to be a culprit in advancing the aging process, with its harsh rays damaging your delicate skin, and thus resulting in premature wrinkles. Small amounts of indirect sunlight are good for you body, mind and soul, but overexposure to the sun and prolonged tanning can cause wrinkles and damage to the skin.
If you must be in the sun, use a sunscreen and SPF-containing cosmetics to try to minimize any negative effects the sun will have on your skin.
Step 3: Get Plenty of Rest
The body heals and repairs itself during sleep. You only have to look in the mirror after a restless night to know that sleep is important to appearing healthy and youthful. If you want to reduce wrinkles and minimize the appearance of any you do have, sleep is crucial.
Step 4: Anti-Aging Products
If you're already showing wrinkles or fine lines, microdermabrasion might make a significant difference in your appearance almost immediately. After using a microdermabrasion kit, you would then want to follow the steps in this guide to help make the effects last longer.
There are other anti-aging products on the market to try as well, but be careful what you choose, since some can worsen some skin conditions.
If you have any concerns about your skin or wrinkles and aging, you should consider a visit to a dermatologist to discuss your options. Using untried and unproven products, especially the ones you can find on the internet and being spammed to your inbox, can actually cause damage to your face and skin, which can increase the signs of aging.
