How do You Prevent Wrinkles?

Wrinkle prevention is a serious topic that doesn’t get discussed often enough.  Most people do not know what prevents wrinkles.  There are several ways you can prevent wrinkles, but they must be addressed early in life, before it’s too late and wrinkles have set into the skin and done their damage.

Preventing wrinkles means taking care of yourself.  There are a number of things that I mean by this, but here is a checklist of things you can do that will essentially put you ahead of the eight ball as you look at your skin and wonder what will become of it in the future.

• Stay away from excessive exposure to the sun.  The sun is your skin’s worst nightmare.  Wrinkle prevention means preventing the skin from setting it’s hooks on your skin.  Cover up your skin with the best sunblock possible.  A good sunblock should be applied every two hours at a minimum when exposed to the sun in the middle of the day.  Also, don’t think that if the clouds are out the sun is kept at bay.  The sun’s influence is always around, and it must be respected accordingly.
• A good moisturizer is always a slick way to get nutrients to the skin on a daily basis.  When you use a daily moisturizer, you are helping smooth out the skin and bring moisture to the skin cells.  This is something that also prevents wrinkles.  Keep a good moisturizer close to you and you are adding yet another step in your regimen towards keeping wrinkles from forming at the skin’s surface.
• Don’t smoke.  Sure, most people don’t smoke regularly.But even occasional smoking can hurt the skin and add damage to the facial skin cells which are so prone to wrinkling.  Smoking also means you are making expressions with your face, and it’s a fact that common expressions are also a reason the skin wrinkles.  Eye wrinkles form due to continued expressions setting into the skin and gaining traction.

The bottom line is that some people wrinkle due to hereditary traits.  Wrinkles can reach the skin for many different reasons, and there are things you can do to prevent them, and things you can do to encourage them to grow even more.  Even the best wrinkle creams can’t totally treat a wrinkle once it’s there.  Sure, they can be a good after-treatment for wrinkles, but they are not the answer to preventing wrinkles nor can they get rid of them entirely.

Use your head, apply sunblock, and treat wrinkles like you treat your teeth - DAILY.
