Wear sunscreen Ultraviolet (UV) rays are harmful to the skin. Too much sun will increase the wrinkle process. Also, wear a hat. Avoid tanning salons Don’t assume the tanning salon is safer than exposure to direct sunlight. You are still being exposed to UV rays, and at a higher concentration than direct sunlight. Stop smoking Toxins in smoking agents cause skin damage. Research shows that smokers wrinkle at a younger age. Avoid weight fluctuations Weight fluctuations causes your skin to stretch and contract. Skin loses its elasticity as you age and can’t bounce back after each fluctuation. Drink water Keep your body hydrated. Drinking plenty of water will help flush out toxins. Eat right Good nutrition affects the skin and can have a positive effect on preventing wrinkles. Wear sunglasses Wearing sunglasses will help you squint less. Squinting creates folds around the eyes that can become permanent. Relax your face muscles Grimacing, furrowing their brows, jaw clenching all contribute to facial wrinkles. Get a facial massage A facial massage will help to keep elasticity in the skin and keep wrinkles and fine lines at bay. A facial massage will stimulate blood flow and circulation in the facial area. Increased blood flow stimulates the skin and helps to keep it renewed and rejuvenated. Tips to Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles Use an Anti-Wrinkle Cream or Lotion Wrinkle creams increase the volume of tissue cells and smoothes out the wrinkle or line. But, wrinkle creams cannot eliminate deep wrinkles. Get a Chemical Peel A chemical peel is a technique designed to remove the dead skin cells from the skin's surface layer and re-stimulate the regenerative process. Can Botox Prevent Wrinkles? Botox cannot prevent wrinkles. Botox injections will temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles.	Advertise on MamasHealth.com Sign up for our Email Newsletter For Email Marketing you can trust
