Staying young looking is no easy task. Time stops for no-one and from the age of around 25 onwards, the signs of stress and time begin to show on pretty much everyone. Particularly around the eyes (crows feet) the mouth and forehead, fine lines and wrinkles form. Once there, are very difficult to get rid off and with most things in life, prevention is better than cure.
1. Drink Plenty of Water - You've probably heard this many times before and with good reason. We are living things which require water to grow, heal and develop. If your skin is deprived of hydration, it is going to shrivel and age far more quickly than skin which is kept watered. If you've ever had a plant which has been starved of water you will see it droop and sag. Give it some water and it comes back to life - your skin acts in a similar way.
2. Don't Smoke - In addition the other long list of health problems associated with smoking, it can significantly increase the speed at which skin ages. The term smokers face specifically relates to the combined effects of continual pouting (in the act of smoking) and the release of free radicals in the smoke which age the skin and contribute to the fine lines which arise around the mouth.
3. Keep Out The Sun - UV rays age the skin at a very fast rate. Whilst tanned, bronzed skin can look great, over time, sun exposure is perhaps the worst offender for causing the premature aging of skin. Use a high SPF factor suncream, stay in the shade or cover up.
4.Combat Winkles and Fine Lines - If wrinkles and fines lines have taken hold, it is possible to fight back. There are creams and serums on the market which can help to temporarily reduce their appearance and some even help slow down the aging process entirely. The other major weapon in the arsenal is to stimulate your own collagen production to remove wrinkles by using devices such as derma skin rollers.
5.Get Good Genes - It's a bit late now,but genetics make up the biggest contributing factor as to how whether your skin ages gracefully or at a fast rate. For those more prone to wrinkles, making the right lifestyles choices becomes even more important to try and delay, reduce or avoid the onset of aging skin.
6. Beauty Treatments - There are lots of anti aging treatments available which can strip away the upper layers of skin to reveal a new fresher looking surface. Whilst these can be very effective, there are many cases of serious problems associated with skin peels and fraxel laser type treatments. Approach these solutions with a high degree of caution.
