Aging is like death—it is inevitable. No matter how much we fear both phenomena, these are bound to happen sooner or later (and we hope it will be later—far far later). But if there is a difference between the two, it is the fact that wrinkle formation and aging can be delayed but death, well, it happens at exactly the right time.
So the best thing that you could do right now is to focus on the things that you can control. Lucky for you, there are plenty of ways on how you can prevent wrinkle formation and hopefully, other signs of aging. And I am sure you are excited to know how! Well, without further ado, here are some skin care tips and ideas on how to prevent wrinkles and early aging:
1- Quit Smoking.
Yes, smoking can help relieve stress. It can also be a nice past time when you are bored. But did you know that smoking is dangerous not just to your health but your skin as well? That’s oh so true! That little stick that gives you relief from the stress of your daily life can be the source of wrinkle formation and other signs of aging. This is because this seemingly harmless act can actually deprive your skin and body the oxygen they need, making them susceptible to damage and signs of aging. In addition to that, tobacco smoke contains thousands of chemicals that do not do your skin any good so quit smoking so you can enjoy flawless skin for a long time.
2- Practice a Skin Care Regimen That Works.
We know that this one is a pretty obvious tip, but we cannot emphasize it enough. To stay healthy and youthful, your skin needs all the care it can have so you have to find a skin care regimen that will be suitable for its needs. Of course, your skin care regimen must be made up of the essentials—cleansing, toning, moisturizing, exfoliating and sun protection. But its effectiveness will rely on the type of product you will use. Experts recommend that you opt for skin care products that contain natural ingredients, are devoid of harmful chemicals and contain retinol that can help promote collagen production.
3. Use a Unique Pillow When Sleeping.
The type of pillow you sleep on can also play a big role on how early you will develop wrinkles. As we all know, the prolonged contact of skin to your pillow at night may lead to wrinkle development. To delay its development, experts recommend that you use special types of pillow that have contours designed to minimize the contact of your skin to the pillow to help reduce the risk of developing sleep lines.
4- Use Silk Pillowcase.
If buying special pillows may be a bit much for you, another great way to prevent wrinkle formation is to upgrade your pillowcase. What do we mean by this? As of now, what is the type of pillowcase that you are using? Most probably, you will answer cotton or any soft fabric that you do not know the name of. After all, does it matter? Of course, it does! According to experts, you should shy away from cotton pillowcases and opt for silk or satin pillowcases instead. This is because these types of fabric have lesser traction against the skin, minimizing the risk of having wrinkles and fine lines.
5- Slather On This Home Remedy.
And of course, the best way to prevent wrinkle formation is always to go for something natural. Lucky for you, there are plenty of
home remedies for wrinkles. The majority of these home remedies can be found in your kitchen, and one of these is no other than coconut oil. As we all know, the greatest weapon that you have against wrinkle is moisture, and coconut oil is one of the best moisturizing ingredients there is, making it one of the best home remedies for wrinkles.
To use this, wash your face thoroughly and pat it dry. Get a pea-sized amount of coconut oil and slather it in the affected area. Leave it on overnight and wake up with soft, smooth and moisturized skin in the morning.
Yep, wrinkles may form sooner or later, but it does not always have to be sooner! Try carrying out all of the tips mentioned above, and you can keep wrinkles at bay for a long period.
