Easy Tips for Reducing Wrinkles and Age Lines
We all know you can�t really �de-age� yourself but you can de-age your skin by stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of healthy new skin tissue. This is how you can reduce wrinkles, age lines, liver spots and other telltale signs of maturing years. Unfortunately many of the most popular treatments for wrinkles are not only expensive, but also time consuming and ultimately bad for your skin. What can you do if you don�t want to get Botox, a face lift, chemical alteration or an expensive spa treatment?
Here are some tips to naturally and safely reduce the appearance of wrinkles:
Eat lots of fish. Fish products provide you with both protein and Omega-3 fatty acids. Both provide essential nutrients which keep your skin healthy and firm.
Eat soy products. Research into the effects of soy shows that soy nutrients may restore skin which has been damaged by the sun. Other studies reveal that six months of consistent soy supplement intake can firm up skin.
Eat anti-oxidant rich fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables like pomegranates, blueberries, tomatoes and acai berry can combat damaging free radicals which harm your skin. Antioxidants can also fight the effects of sun exposure.
Apply moisturizer. Moisturizer, especially used consistently for many years, can reduce the obviousness of age lines and wrinkles.
Don�t wash your face too much. If you do, you�ll strip away your natural oils and in turn, dry out your skin. Dried out skin is more likely to develop wrinkles. If you can, invest in a soap which includes moisturizing agents.
Use a topical cream. Topical creams can combat wrinkles naturally, without damaging your skin. The FDA has only approved one topical ointment for wrinkles so far, called tretinoin. Tretinoin is better known by its commercial name, Retin A. Retinol is simply a type of vitamin A. Any skin cream containing retinol can help your skin to combat age lines. Creams containing alpha-hydroxy-acids (AHAs), derived from fruit, can remove dead skin tissue and reveal fresher skin underneath.
Topical application of vitamin C can reduce wrinkles as well. According to the results of scientific studies, the form of vitamin C most likely to reduce wrinkles effectively is L-ascorbic acid.
Lose weight. Being overweight causes skin to be loose and baggy. You can reduce much of your sagging and the wrinkles by simply losing some weight.
Not sure how to go about losing weight? It�s a challenge for most people. A method like the HCG diet can help you lose weight faster using an all natural, safe supplement.
These are just some of the ways that you can reduce the age-revealing lines and wrinkles in your face and neck and tighten up your sagging skin. All of these methods are cost effective and safe and won�t leave you with raw, tender skin like surgery or some spa treatments. These techniques will actually improve the health of your skin as well as your overall health.
