Preventing Wrinkles
We are all living longer and this makes preventing wrinkles even more important than ever before! Almost every single woman will tell you that preventing wrinkles is their primary beauty objective! Since our life expectancy keeps increasing, we definitely do not want to look like we are 90years old by the time we are 70years old! Today, with global climate change exposing our vulnerable skin to those harmful UV rays, along with all the environmental pollution that is damaging our skin, everyone should begin taking the proper steps in preventing wrinkles, sooner rather than later. Women are not the only ones who are worrying about their skin. Men, likewise, are now beginning to pay much closer attention to the appearance of the dreaded wrinkles. This probably because of the life expectancy factor. A couple of decades ago, most young women were not into skin and wrinkle reducing creams. Their young and clear looking skin looked fabulous, without a single wrinkle to be seen. While their Mother or Grandmother might give them a pep talk once in a while on "the importance of taking care of your skin", most young girls considered the available face creams to be for "old women". These girls spent their time and money on clothes and shoes instead. Skin care was only for the 40 and over crowd. In today's society, preventing wrinkles is a hot topic if you are over Twenty! A good cleaning regimen is an important element in your skin care program. Younger individuals are able to accomplish this with a non-drying soap, such as glycerine, followed by a toner to seal the pores and a light application of facial cream. It is best if the facial cream is a combination of a sunscreen and face cream in a single product. If you are going to spend any length of time in the sunlight, always apply a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30.

Over time, everybody's skin will eventually loses its elasticity and begin to sag, dry out and wrinkle. Collagen is responsible for keeping your skin elastic and vibrant. In this instance, preventing wrinkles is best accomplished by developing proper eating habits. While you were still young, it seemed that poor dietary habits did not make a bit of difference in your skin's overall appearance. You would stare in the mirror and not see even a single wrinkle. However, if you have poor eating habits, you will start discovering wrinkles at a younger age. Once they start showing up, it is much more difficult to get rid of them, or even slow down this inevitable progression. Fresh fruits and vegetables are two very important foods for preventing wrinkles and maintaining healthy skin. The healthy skin vitamins are: A, C, E and zinc, so load up on foods which are nutrient dense with these vitamins. However, many vitamins and enzymes are dependent on other nutrients to be effective. For instance, did you know that zinc(which is a trace mineral) can be found in virtually all the cells in your entire body? So in addition to making sure you get your healthy skin nutrients, you also need to consume a well balanced diet. It pay off beautifully. By the time you are older, let's say about 40, you and everyone else you meet will notice the difference in your still vibrant skin. If you are a smoker, quit now! Perhaps more than any other single factor, smoking on a regular basis will age your skin prematurely, this is a fact. Here is a little known fact that can easily be proven. If you are applying makeup and foundation on a daily basis, you will begin to see wrinkles at an earlier age. Want the proof? Have you ever notice how TV anchors appear to age prematurely? They apply foundation and makeup every single day, before they go in front of the cameras. They are also positioned beneath hot lights for hours at a time. The end result? By the time they reach forty, they could become jobless, simply because they appear too old. Besides the difficulty of preventing wrinkles, many of them have to resort to plastic surgery, collagen implants or Botox treatments. No thank you, not for me! A few days ago I went grocery shopping with a good friend of mine. She has never smoked, does not wear make up, and she is a huge advocate of maintaining a healthy diet. As we were checking out, the cashier carded her for the bottle of wine she had in her basket. My friend was two weeks shy of her 60th birthday and has about two gray hairs in her head. Her jaw dropped to the floor. “You are joking, right?” The cashier apologized, and said he was required, by state law, to ask for ID of anyone who appeared to be under 40! So, there is my proof that preventing wrinkles can be done. This birthday girl was happy and shocked for weeks. That was a 60th birthday she will never forget!
