7 tips to slow down wrinkles

December 15, 2009 by Jo 

1. UV light from tanning beds and the sun is the single biggest contributor to premature skin aging.

2. The cascade of free radicals generated by smoking and physical action of smoking will cause wrinkles to form.

3. If you can, try to sleep on your back.  Pressing the face into the pillow can cause puffiness and creases to form.

4. Don’t strip the skin of natural oils with hot water, soap or scrubbbing at the skin.

5. Reduce squinting in the sun – get a good pair of sunglasses with a high UV rating.

6. We are what we eat – pay attention to a well rounded, well balanced diet to provide all the nutrients the skin needs to function optimally.

7. Hydrate – both by drinking lots of water  and using an effective moisturiser that has no chemicals that are known to irritate and cause inflammation.
