The Anti-Wrinkle Plan

Wrinkles can appear anywhere. As skin looses elasticity and collagen production slows down, facial wrinkles begin to appear on places like the forehead, the creases of your mouth and even your neck.

Let's face it, wrinkles are not pleasant. But there are some things you can do to get your skin looking younger and fresher.

Step one, take a look at your diet. Your body needs a lot of hydration and a good balance of foods to stay young and produce the natural anti-wrinkle agents such as collagen. If you're not maintaining a well balanced diet, you're adding to the problem and not the solution. Make sure you drink plenty of water and eat nutrient rich vegetables and fruits. Stay away from fatty and sugary foods whenever possbile.

Once you've taken care of the inside, protect the outside. Even on the cloudiest of days or in the winter, we are still exposed to the harmful ultra-violet rays of the sun. The sun can damage the skin, and causes fine lines to become deep creases. Therefore, always wear sunscreen. The easiest way to remember to do this is buying moisturizing lotions and make up that already contain sunscreen. Making sunscreen part of your daily routine all year long will be the biggest factor in keeping your skin young.

Keeping your skin clean and exfoliated means finding the right cleansing solutions. Regular soaps and body washes are very drying for the tender skin on your face and can often heighten the problem. Find a gentle cleanser and wash your face twice a day, morning and night. You should also gently exfoliate your skin. You can purchase a beaded product to do this, but for the face, a simple washcloth is a gentle and effective way to remove any dead skin cells and refresh your skin.

Moisturizer is key to wrinkle reduction and keeping your skin hydrated. Find a natural product with vitamin supplements or essential oils. Coconut oil is great for moisture and increasing collagen which aids in the elasticity of the skin.

If you already have deep set wrinkles, you may wish to look into things such as botox or cosmetic surgery for removal. However, going forward, remember to put your anti-wrinkle plans into action, to avoid having new wrinkles form.
