A plastic surgery blog posted an interesting article about the things that we can do in order to prevent premature wrinkles from appearing on our skin. We only think of getting rid of wrinkles when they are already there. We use various skin treatments such as Botox, chemical peels, or injectable fillers to get rid of the lines, but we seldom think that the best way to avoid wrinkles is to keep from happening in the first place.

This is what the article is trying to present. Prevention is better that cure so we need to take that into consideration.

Mybodypart blog gives out the steps to keep wrinkles at bay:

1. Block out the rays

Sun exposure is one major cause of premature wrinkles. Thus, Richards advise women to wear sunscreens with at least an SPF 15, everyday. Sunblock formulations, which contain micronised titanium dioxide or zinc oxide are the best options.

2. Eat well

Food plays an important role in preventing premature wrinkles. Eat a low-GI diet that is rich in antioxidants and essential unsaturated oils. Avoid inflammatory processed foods, saturated animal fat and refined sugar. Eat organic, unpolluted fish two or three times a week. It's rich in anti-ageing nutrients including face-firming DMAE - the natural muscle toning chemical."

3. Take a supplement

Richards recommends taking an all-in-one daily antioxidant complex. This way, free radicals and other cell-damaging elements will be dealt with accordingly.

4. Exercise

Exercise is still the best way to prevent aging from showing on your face and body. Richards also recommends tightening and toning facial muscles with a sine wave microcurrent facial. Toning the facial muscles stimulates collagen production and has an anti-inflammatory action.

5. Treat yourself

"Over time non-invasive 'lunch-time' peels, microdermabrasion and retinoid treatments can significantly boost collagen levels, strengthening and smoothing the skin. They work by lifting skin surface layers and stimulating collagen production in the dermis."

These are very simple steps but the benefits of following them can be so fulfilling especially when you reach the time when wrinkles start their onslaught.
