If you are not a huge fan of homemade face masks there are other natural ways to combat your wrinkles. Here are four things that everyone can do:
Drink plenty of water: Drinking water will not only avoid and treat wrinkles but it will keep you healthy and keep your skin hydrated. One of the reasons for wrinkle formation is the loss of moisture so drink up.
Get your beauty rest: When you sleep, your body produces human growth hormone which controls the growth of all body tissues including skin. You need new skin cells to fight off and prevent wrinkles. Do not neglect your body or skin, get a lot of rest.
Protect your skin from the sun: Exposure to the ultraviolet rays of sun can damage your skin’s collagen which leads to wrinkles. Always protect your skin when you go outside: use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, wear protective clothing such as: hats, scarves and sunglasses.
Choose your cosmetics wisely: Avoid using products that have alcohol in them. Alcohol will dry up your skin by dehydrating it. A skin lacking moisture tends to form wrinkles fast. Opt for water based products; they will help keep your skin hydrated and wrinkle free.
