Wrinkle reduction doesn't have to be hard. In some of my other articles, I've listed a lot of techniques and recipes that can work wrinkle reduction wonders. In this particular one, I'm breaking it down to basics, with eight common-sense wrinkle reduction tips you can use to look and appear young looking. Here they are:
1. Exercise regularly. This creates excellent circulation, which is needed for all body functions, including the ones that keep you young and energetic.
2. Take a flaxseed oil supplement daily. Flaxseed oil is the richest vegetable source of omega-3 fatty acids, and so important in keeping your skin lubricated and supple. A must-have in your wrinkle reduction artillery.
3. Go easy on alcohol. Alcohol dehydrates and adds toxins to a system that's already overworked with food chemicals/preservatives, environmental pollution and so on. The exception to this is red wine, as it contains powerful, youth-preserving antioxidants. So enjoy your daily glass of wine with a clean conscience.
4. Take good care of your teeth - they, along with your jaw bone, form the framework that holds your facial skin in place. Besides, white teeth versus yellow teeth generally takes five years off of your appearance.
5. Eat blueberries. They are jam-packed with those essential antioxidants that fight skin-damaging free radicals.
6. Hydrate - drink water! Start with 2 twenty-ounce bottles per day and work your way up to about five-six. WARNING: Don't drink the water from the bottle itself, as the sucking motion can actually cause "smokers lip", aka wrinkles around the mouth.
7. Avoid the "3 Evil S's": stress, sun and smoke. These three factors will dramatically increase lines, wrinkles, eye puffiness and other signs of aging. The first one - stress - is maybe the hardest one to handle, but it can be done. If you're experiencing high levels of stress, consider taking a yoga or meditation class - you'll be pleasantly surprised at how the quality of life will increase just by reducing stress. The second culprit - smoking, isn't that easy either, but again, it can be done. Finally, STAY OUT OF THE SUN! The sun is the #1 cause of aging we know of, so that one should be a no-brainer. If you must be in the sun, be sure to use sun-protection cream.
8. Cleanse your face every morning and night, followed by a quality anti aging / wrinkle reduction cream.
