Beauty is like a double-edged sword – it makes you a masterpiece but also takes all of it away with time, especially when wrinkles begin to form. When beauty is there, we do not notice it, but when it starts to fade, we begin to worry obsessively about it. To cope with this everyday struggle, here are some valuable tips on how to prevent wrinkles from forming.
What causes wrinkles on your face?
As you get older, your skin becomes thinner and less elastic, causing it to be more susceptible to damage. Your facial expressions can cause premature wrinkling. Continuously smiling or frowning can result in fine lines in certain parts of your face. When you are young, the skin springs back without forming permanent lines. However, as you get older, its flexibility lessens. It can’t always spring back to normal, which causes permanent creases on the skin.Other causes of wrinkles include loss of fat in the cheeks, bone shrinkage, and reduced collagen production. Frequent exposure to ultraviolet rays and cigarette smoking can accelerate wrinkling. Because of this, many skin care products can help remove them. Below are some easy instructions on how to iron out wrinkles:
1. Try to use your smartphone less.
The habit of constantly looking at the phone, checking mail or messages in social networks causes more harm than we previously thought. It can cause wrinkles on the skin of the neck and around the chin. The skin on the neck is very thin and more susceptible to aging than other parts of the body. So to minimize the risks associated with the use of gadgets, buy cosmetics with amino acids and peptides. This will increase the elasticity of the skin and tone it more.
In the beauty industry, a new concept has emerged called “digital aging.” It means the deterioration of the skin is due to exposure to blue light from the screens of smartphones, phones, tablets, and computers. HEV radiation penetrates deeper layers of the skin, disrupting the production of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. While scientists have not come up with effective protective measures, cosmetologists recommend the use of antioxidant serums and creams.
2. Do facial exercises every morning.
If you’ve ever researched natural ways of eliminating wrinkles on your face, you might have come across facial exercises. Stretching your skin daily helps increase blood circulation which allows more oxygen and nourishment to reach the cells. These exercises leave the skin with a healthy glow. They stimulate the body to produce collagen and elastin, making your skin look smoother and more supple.
3. Use natural supplements for skin care.
Use natural supplements such as green tea, grape seed extract, Coenzyme Q10(CoQ10), vitamin E, Krill oil as well as cocoa flavanols and coconut oil. They work wonders for your skin. For instance, cocoa flavanols improve the elasticity of the skin, while CoQ10 improves skin firmness while reducing wrinkles.
4. Do physical and mental training.
There are numerous health benefits associated with both physical workouts and mental training. Meditation helps to lengthen and enhance the activity of telomeres. Telomeres are protective caps that are located at the end of chromosomes, which shorten with age. Many people have tension on their face and the best way to combat that is meditation. While holding the pose, you relax your entire body and concentrate on your senses. Focus on your breathing and heart rate which in turn will create a balance in your mind, heart, and emotions. Incorporate yoga into your routine to reduce stress and slow down the aging process.
5. Eat an anti-wrinkle diet.
Want to have good skin? Watch what you put into your mouth. Foods that contain high Vitamin C and low fat content, as well as complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, reduce wrinkles. They make your skin look better and healthier by preventing breakouts. Limit your intake of dairy products as they worsen acne. Eat blueberries as they protect your skin from harmful free radicals that occur from sun exposure and overexercising.
6. Stop squinting.
Wrinkles around your eyes are caused by squinting. The orbital skin around the eyes is thin and is susceptible to premature wrinkling. Wear sunglasses when spending time outdoors in the sun to avoid having to squint. See an eye doctor if you always have to squint to see things that are further away or those that are up close. If you often squint to read something, you’re more likely to develop premature wrinkles around the eyes.
7. Have a positive attitude.
Just remember that you can’t change reality, but at the same time, you can change your attitude to that reality. Such an approach can definitely influence both the process and the results positively. Mind and body are both parts of the same system so stay healthy by staying positive.
Hopefully, these tiny changes in your daily skin care and diet will help you maintain your youthful glow for as long as possible. Do you have any other tips? Leave them in the comments.
