Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, the aging process is not fun. One of the earliest signs of aging comes in the form of one’s face. Wrinkles and fine lines have a habit of showing up at annoyingly rapid rates.
Some people are certainly more prone to these facial crevices than others. However, there are ways to help prevent both fine lines and wrinkles.
Get Your Beauty Rest
Simply put, one needs to get ample amounts of sleep in order to help the prevention of wrinkles. Many doctors recommend 7-8 hours of sleep. With this amount of sleep, reports indicate that humans will produce more natural amounts of HGH (human growth hormone).
As such, this hormone is said to help make the skin more elastic and supple. This, in turn, may help prevent wrinkles. Cortisol is produced when the individual doesn’t get ample sleep. Skin cells are broken down, and thus wrinkles appear.
Food Options
Diet is also imperative when hoping to avoid both fine lines and wrinkles. Interestingly enough, cold-water fish (salmon) are filled with vitamins associated with anti-aging properties. The fatty acid Omega-3 is something quite good for the skin. It allows for human skin to stay both moist and elastic.
Even more fascinating, Omega-3 is often found in anti-aging creams and other facial products. As opposed to spending an exorbitant amount of money on high-end and expensive products, a more cost-effective way of getting the same benefits could include consuming a few portions of fish every week.
Avoid Both Sun and Smoking
Prolonged time in the sun is not good for the skin — particularly if one doesn’t apply any sort of sunscreen. The sun dries the skin out considerably, thus enabling it to crack and lose its elasticity at a high rate. Wrinkles are said to commonly increase by heavy exposure to direct sunlight.
Along with the sun, smoking is also quite bad for one’s skin. The smoke itself has an enzyme that attacks the collagen in one’s skin. Collagen is an imperative cog in keeping one’s skin elastic. Many studies have seen non-smokers have much better skin when compared to regular smokers.
Facial Treatments
The world of beauty products has exploded into a multi-billion dollar industry. There are a number of anti-aging creams found not only within online stores but also over-the-counter in one’s local drug store.
For more extensive treatments, one can see a medical professional. Botox, fillers, and chemical peels are three highly popular methods in wanting to look younger/preserve one’s youth. Injections of collagen can also help one’s appearance.
