Women would kill to get rid of wrinkles. This statement is absolutely correct ten years ago. Today, it is only half true. Men nowadays would also do likewise in order to get rid of those laugh lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. Everyone is vain about their looks, young and old, males and females. This is especially true if wrinkles come knocking at your doors even before you hit your mid-forties. Fret not, as we can look at some ways to prevent and get rid of wrinkles and to reverse its effect on our skin.
First of all, we need to understand what some of the common causes of wrinkles are so as to avoid them.
1. Smoking
Smoking is harmful to our skin. It damages our skin tissues and hinders regeneration of collagen. Collagen is partly responsible for the elasticity of our skin. Guess what happens when the production of collagen is affected? Our skin starts to lose its elasticity and sagging takes place. Wrinkle lines appear.
2. Over-exposure to Sunlight
A little sun is good and healthy for our skin. Too much of it, especially ultraviolet-A (UVA) rays, can cause great damage to our skin tissues, particularly collagen and elastin. Deformities in these connective tissue take place and wrinkles are developed.
3. Excessive Facial Expressions
If you like to laugh a lot, or simply have too many facial expressions, then you are the perfect candidate for those wrinkles to appear. Being expressive is a great thing, but wrinkles seem to think otherwise.
Enough is said about the causes of wrinkles. Let us see what we can do to get rid of wrinkles and not give them a chance to affect our physical appearances. Cheers to vanity!
1. Application of Sun block
Sun block with adequate sun protection factor (SPF) is effective in protecting our skin against the harms of ultraviolet-B (UVB) rays. It does nothing much against UVA which is the big time culprit against our skin connective tissues. UVA penetrates deep within the skin. The saying of beauty is only skin deep does not apply here since it is the damage beyond the skin surface that would affect our beauty. Look for sun block that offers protection against both UVA and UVB. Avoiding excessive sunlight is another way to get rid of wrinkles.
2. Healthy Diet
Having a healthy diet would work miracles in our skin. Research has proven that aging can be slowed down and we can successfully get rid of wrinkles if we maintain a balanced diet that is anti-wrinkle.
a. Drink at least 6 – 8 glasses of water daily to keep your skin hydrated. Water is a natural emollient.
b. Eat foods rich in antioxidants like dark green vegetables for instance asparagus, sprouts, watercress, broccoli, etc and fruits like guava, tomatoes and papaya. Antioxidants thwart the oxidation process that magnifies the visibility of wrinkles.
c. Drinking green tea is great as it has potent antioxidant properties.
