BEST WAY TO REDUCE WRINKLES
PRACTICE GOOD SKIN CARE BASICS
If you really want to keep your skin looking young, start with the essentials
- Avoid the sun
- Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen on your face
- Wear sun protective clothing (long sleeves & high stockings)
- Don't smoke
- Use moisturizer
SLEEP ON YOUR BACK
- When you sleep in certain positions night after night, it leads to sleep lines
1. Wrinkles that become etched into the top layers of skin & don't fade once you're up
2. Sleeping on your side leads to wrinkles on cheeks & chin
3. Sleeping face down gives you a furrowed brow
EAT MORE SALMON
- Salmon, along with other cold-water fish, is a great source of protein, one of the building
blocks of great skin - Salmon also has plenty of omega-3 fatty acids
- Experts say essential fatty acids nourish skin & keep it plump & youthful & that can help minimize wrinkles
DON'T SQUINT
- Any facial expression that you do over & over,like squinting overworks facial muscles &
makes grooves beneath the skin's surface - Eventually those grooves become wrinkles
- So wear reading glasses if you need them
- Sunglasses can protect skin around the eyes from sun damage & keep you from squinting
USE ALPHA-HYDROXY ACIDS (AHAs)
- These natural acids lift away the top layer of dead skin cells
- That helps reduce the appearance of pores, fine lines & surface wrinkles, especially around
the eyes - Stronger forms of AHAs may help boost collagen production in your skin
- This ’s a protein that gives your skin strength & firmness
- Using AHAs can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so wear sunscreen every day
DON'T OVER WASH YOUR FACE
- Tap water strips skin of moisture & natural oils that protect against wrinkles
- If you wash your face too often, you wash away its protection
- Use a soap with moisturizers, or a gel or cream cleanser instead
WEAR VITAMIN C
- Some studies have found that creams with Vitamin C can boost the amount of collagen your
skin makes - Vitamin C, protects against
1. Damage from UVA & UVB rays
2. Helps reduce redness, dark spots & uneven skin tone You have to use a skin product
with the right type of Vitamin C
3. Ascorbic acid is one form of vitamin C & may be the best for wrinkle relief
SOY FOR SKIN CARE
- Soy may improve the appearance of your skin & also protect it
- Studies suggest soy applied to the skin or taken as a supplement, not as food, may help
protect against or even heal some sun damage - It can help your skin's structure & firmness plus even, out skin tone
