5 Best Ways To Keep Wrinkles At Bay!

One of the gifts of old age is wrinkles. Although, there is no harm in having wrinkles, it can be problematic in a few areas. So, many of us would prefer to keep them in check.

Without medical or surgical intervention, it can be challenging to reverse the appearance of wrinkles once you have them. But there are some lifestyle changes you can make to reduce their appearance.

Read to know how to make them less visible and enjoy healthy skin even in old age.

Why do wrinkles develop?

You lose collagen and elastin as you age. This causes the skin’s middle layer (dermis) to get thinner. As a result, the skin may sag and develop wrinkles.`

  1. Apply sunscreen

Every day, when you go out or even if you’re mostly indoors, do not forget to apply your sunscreen. Choose a sunscreen with a broad-spectrum sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30.

  1. Don’t tan indoors or outdoors.

 Tanning causes skin damage. It ages skin and can cause skin cancer.

  1. Add Retinoids 

Retinoids are one of the most studied anti-aging ingredients. Sometimes referred to as retinol, retinoids have the ability to increase collagen production, which helps plump up the skin.

Retinoids also encourage skin regeneration and can promote the creation of new blood vessels, which may help improve the skin’s overall appearance and texture.

  1. Moisturize

A moisturizer acts like a drink of water for your face.

Moisturizers help to nourish and hydrate the skin. This is especially important as you get older and your skin becomes drier, which makes it more prone to wrinkles.

Ask your dermatologist for product recommendations for your skin.

  1. Manage stress

Find healthy ways to manage stress. Stress can make certain skin conditions worse. You can add different yoga exercises and meditations to manage your stress well. Visiting a psychologist is also a better option.

  1. Self-examination

Perform regular skin and mole checks to look for changes that may be early signs of skin cancer.

  1. Don’t smoke

Stop smoking and using tobacco products. Nicotine and other chemicals in cigarettes and electronic cigarettes age skin faster.
