Let’s start with the face –

How to Get Rid of Wrinkles on the Face?

1. Water, water and more water:

One of the major factors of wrinkles is lack of moisture in the skin. And what better way to ensure there is moisture than to drink water, and plenty of it – around 8-10 glasses per day.
It is one of the major issues in this non-stop, on-the-go modern world that we just don’t hydrate enough. Drinking a few litres of water every single day was the norm not so long ago, but now, with nobody having any time on their hands, the hydration has taken a backseat.

If you want to ensure you do not get wrinkles (or at least delay it for as long as you can) drink water every single day, and lots of it.

Carry a water bottle with you, and make sure it is sufficiently filled with water all the time. While drinking water during meals isn’t a great idea for digestion, do make sure you drink plenty of fluids a little while after a meal.

Ensure, when you do take those breaks during work, and make sure you take a few seconds to drink some water. It is the easiest thing to do and not only will it help you stave off wrinkles it will help you in several other ways as well.

2. Stress:

Another by-product of modern living. Stress is everywhere nowadays. Very rarely will you find someone not taking stress – be it work-related or something to do with family life.

Stress, unfortunately, is the cause of several issues as you grow older, with wrinkles being one of them. So, trying to stay calmer than you have been, keeping things as simple as possible and not taking under stress, especially, over things that don’t matter. That is essential to live a wrinkle-free life.

3. Sun damage:

While getting some Vitamin D is essential for everyone, getting too much of it can have an adverse effect on your skin. Apart from being prone to cancer, excessive sun rays can lead to early wrinkles, and also the kind that will be hard to shake.

So, make sure if you are one of those people who do have to stay out in the sun for long, that you use the right sun tan lotions and protect yourself as much as you can, be it with a hat or by other means.

How to Get Rid of Wrinkles Permanently?

If you are one of those people who start worrying about wrinkles from an early age, then the best way to ensure they don’t come at you during old age is to try these precautions as you age gracefully.

1. Diet:

It is all about what you put into your body. What you eat, how you eat and when you eat not only has an effect on your health, it also has a tremendous effect on how your outer shell looks as well.
So, make sure you start eating RIGHT early. Have the right amount of protein, make sure you get all your vitamins and stay away from anything and everything that will harm your health, outside and in, in the long-term. Do that and wrinkles might just decide to stay away from your face and the rest of your body.

2. Cigarettes, stub that thing out!

Cigarette smoking, first hand and second hand is so incredibly bad for your health, that it doesn’t just increase the likeliness of dangerous diseases like cancer, it also harms your skin. So much that you will get wrinkles popping up all over your body just due to that toxic smoke.

So, if you are a smoker now, think of this – the more you smoke, the more likely you are to get wrinkles and plenty of them at that.

Is it so difficult to stub it out? Or it is worth continuing smoking and risking all of those factors hitting you later (and that too a little later, not all that later) in life?

It is your call, but it really isn’t a difficult one when you think about it, especially if living a long, happy, wrinkle-free life is what you envisage.

3. Excessive sun:

Another really good preventive measure, is, as mentioned above, not getting too much sun. While our skin does need exposure to those golden rays, we also need to make sure that exposure is under control.
Lose control and you just might lose control of the amount of wrinkles that form on your skin.

4. Laser and Botox:

Botox, of course, is the most popular procedure to get rid of wrinkles – it is almost impossible to find a movie star who hasn’t had Botox on his/her face. There are also laser options now available, but why bother with all that when you can prevent wrinkles from forming or take them off through natural means or by just being a little smart in what you do, eat, smoke, take in with your life.

1. Food with Antioxidants:

Antioxidants – such a wonderful sounding word and a word that helps tremendously in healthy skin, particularly in getting rid of wrinkles that form near your mouth.

2. Moisturise:

Keeping the skin hydrated, as mentioned above, is essential to making wrinkles go away. So, make sure you moisturise your skin with a product of your choice every day. The recommended dosage is a minimum once a day. What moisturising your skin does is it keeps the top layer nice and happy, which means the more sensitive skin underneath remains protected.

3. Exercise:

Wait, what!? When did this article become a lose weight one? Nope, don’t worry, this is not that kind of exercise!

To retain the elasticity in your skin, it is important to do a few basic exercises, particularly near the mouth.

One of the key ones is pulling your mouth – both sides – as much as possible. It’s like holding the really wide smile pose for a few seconds.

Keeping the skin elastic entails exercising the skin around your mouth, so move that area as much as you can – if you can do it in a natural environment, all the better, but if not, try stretching and holding it for a while, multiple times – the more exercise your mouth gets, the more muscles that build up around there and the better your chances of getting rid or not even getting any wrinkles.
