Smooth your frown lines, tighten up a wrinkly neck and get rid of those saggy cheeks with some simple exercise techniques you can do in front of the bathroom mirror.

Although wrinkles can be signs of experience and wisdom, most people would rather not have them.

People's desire to retain and regain youth is strong and universal. The eternal wish for a "fountain of youth" can be seen in the innumerable products and procedures advertised in books, magazines, and other media that promise "younger-looking skin." Many claims for such youth-enhancing methods are unfortunately overblown or entirely nonexistent. Let the buyer beware! Still, effective techniques for softening and even removing wrinkles do exist.

How to Get Rid Of Wrinkles

Getting rid of wrinkles is big business. Millions of dollars are poured into research to find the latest miracle cure to get rid of wrinkles, driven by an aging world population. We will look at what nature has to offer and some self-help to fight our common enemy ie wrinkles.

Staying out of the sun should help you get rid of wrinkles. If you're sun worshipper like myself, you're painfully aware of how bad the sun is for your skin these days. Not only do you do a lot of squinting in the sun, producing "crows feet" wrinkles around the eyes, but if you've ever seen a man or woman who just won't stop tanning, you'll see what I'm talking about--their skin is like leather.

Treatments that contain Hydroxy acids and moisturizing creams may help get rid of wrinkles. You have two choices for Hydroxy acids: alpha and beta. For reasons we won't get into here, alpha hydroxy acids are best for treating sun-damaged skin that isn't prone to things like acne. In other words, teenagers should stay away from alpha hydroxy acids, and go with beta hydroxy acids which are better for treating clogged pores, whiteheads, blackheads, and to avoid premature wrinkles.

Exercise

If you already have wrinkles, you can take steps to hide and eliminate wrinkles. Exercise at least once a day to firm your skin and muscles; thoroughly moisturize your face and neck before you exercise.

To correct a droopy chin, a weak jaw, or a wrinkled neck, place the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth as far back as it will go; your chin, jaw, throat, and neck will tighten automatically. Repeat several times.

Proper Diet

Remember to include at least 5 servings of vegetables and 1 serving of fruit in your daily meals. Eat vegetables and fruits with antioxidant properties like spinach, asparagus, brussel sprouts, watercress, broccoli, papaya, guava, mangoes, pineapple and cantaloupe. Antioxidants stop oxidation processes responsible for visible effects of skin aging. Vegetable oils such as olive oil, soybean, nuts and nut butters, whole grains are also rich in antioxidants. Protein and meats with omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, tuna, snapper and cod are best when broiled or baked.

Home Remedy

Smear honey on your face and leave it for as long as possible (but 5-10mins a day will do). then rinse off with tepid water mixed with a teaspoon of cider vinegar - this has a neutral pH and will act as a toner.
