Wrinkles are something that every man and woman will have to battle and contest with at some point in their life. They’re a natural part of ageing that creates folds in your skin which can make a person’s face and skin appear tired and old. The reason this happens is because when we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin which makes it thinner and less resistant to damage.
There are ways to reduce and prevent wrinkles, though, owing to the many varied beauty products out there which are designed to slow down this ageing process. There are also other things people can do to help reduce wrinkles and make their face appear younger and fresher. Here are just a few tips to help you reduce wrinkles.
Wear Sunscreen
Sunscreen that contains UV protection over 30SPF can help prevent skin cancer, as most people know, but what is interesting is that it can also help delay the signs of ageing too. This is because it protects your face from the sun, which can dry out skin and make it a lot tougher and easier to crack and get wrinkles. A moisturising sunscreen is the best thing you can use as not only does it provide protection, but it can also exfoliate your skin and hydrate it, making it fresher and appear younger.
Red Light Exposure
Red light therapy is a more modern but effective way of reducing visible wrinkles. It does this by using multiple red light to minimise the look of fine lines and wrinkles around some of the key problem areas such as the eyes, mouth, and forehead. It works by increasing collagen and fibroblasts that can reduce pore size, smooth out fine lines and improve the texture of a patient’s skin. It also boosts blood circulation, making your face appear rosier. This treatment starts to show results 6 weeks into the cycle. Getting a microcurrent facial can really improve your facial health and appearance.
Limit Sugar Intake
Too much sugar can wreak havoc on your body in many ways, but one of the most unknown side effects of sugar intake is how it affects your skin. When we consume sugar, our bodies set off a process called glycation, which produce end products that are no good for our skin. These end products, called AGEs, break down the collagen in your body and can make you look a lot older over time. Limiting sugar intake will help your face retain its youthful shape and limit the number of wrinkles you get.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a fantastic natural product that, when applied to the skin, fills in the gaps in your epidermis and makes your skin feel smooth and youthful. This oil also helps make the skin retain moisture, which can make it appear fuller. This oil is also great at treating dry skin making it a fantastic product for all skincare needs.
Change Sleep Position
Some wrinkles are caused by compression, and the most common cause of this is when you repeatedly sleep in a certain position. This is because the regular way your face presses against the pillow over time can weaken your skin, making it more likely for wrinkles to form. To prevent this, try sleeping on your back so that you face isn’t pressing down on anything, or if this isn’t possible, try sleeping on alternating sides each night.
