Beauty Guide: Getting Rid of Wrinkle and Aging Signs

Are you annoyed of those wrinkles and aging signs appearing on your skin? Are you sick and tired of looking aged when you desire to look just younger? If you are, then here is what you need to know. These wrinkles and aging sings are common amongst women and men, and therefore, to help you get rid of these signs, here is a very useful read for you.

Causes and Symptoms


In order to understand these signs and wrinkles on your skin, you need to understand what causes them and the symptoms that indicate that these signs have started to appear.

1. Diet

Certain types of diet are known to increase the risk of skin becoming wrinkled. Especially packaged food and diet that is high in sugar are known to be the culprit. Packaged food items contain substances that lead to inflammation and damaging of the cells that further destroy elastic and collagen, both elements that help to prevent the skin from becoming wrinkled. Hence, you would be doing your skin a great favour if you started avoiding these items in your diet. You should try to increase your intake of fruits and vegetables because a diet rich in vegetables and fruits helps prevent the risk of wrinkles from appearing.

 

2. Exposure to the sunlight

 


Excessively long hours of exposure to sunlight are considered a major cause for wrinkled skin. Sunlight rays lead to a rougher skin that has more lines and marks on it. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you do everything you can to protect your skin from excessive exposure to sunlight. If you cannot avoid sun, then make sure you use a good sunscreen lotion while going out.

3. Lack of Hyaluronic Acid

 


Hyaluronic Acid is already present inside your skin cells and helps in moisturizing the skin. It also helps in producing new skin and replacing the damaged one. With increasing age, your skin loses hyaluronic acid and as a result, wrinkles and marks begin to appear.

 

 

4. Skin dryness

 


Dry skin is more prone to developing wrinkles and marks than a moisturized one. Dry skin loses its elasticity and hence, wrinkles begin to appear. If you have particularly dry skin, then you should try to keep it as moisturized as possible. You can do this by drinking lots of water and eating fruits. You can also avoid skin dryness by using a wrinkle free or an anti-aging cream.

 

Home Remedies to get rid of wrinkles


Luckily for all of us, wrinkles can be avoided, but only if you take good care of your skin. You can do this by using certain very effective home remedies to get rid of your wrinkled and aging skin. These remedies use natural products that do not lead to any reactions or skin irritations. Most home remedies use fruits. Read on for a few very useful home remedies:

• Using honey


Honey has many benefits including getting rid of wrinkles. The best thing about honey is that is very simple to use. All you have to do is wash your face and then apply honey on it and leave for half an hour, after that again wash your face with mildly warm water. Doing this regularly should help you get rid of your wrinkles.  You can purchase honey from departmental or any pharmaceutical store.

• Bananas


Take one or two bananas and mash them completely until a soft creamy stuff appears, then apply it on your face and leave for a few minutes, after that, wash your face with mild warm water.

• Cucumber


Cucumbers are famous for making your face look fresher. They can actually help prevent wrinkles from appearing. For effective results, cut pieces of cucumber and wipe your face with cucumber slices.

• Tomatoes


Tomatoes can also be used to help you get rid of wrinkles and aging signs. Cut tomatoes into small pieces, mix with honey and apply on your face. You should do this regularly, in order to achieve best results.

• Pineapple


Another fruit best known for getting rid of wrinkled skin is pineapple. Use pineapple pulp and apply it on your face, leave it for less than half an hour and then wash with mildly warm water. Since pineapple contains vitamin C, it is effective for getting rid of wrinkles.

• Lemon and Olive Oil


Lemon is used to make the skin more glowing and fresh because of its richness in vitamin C, which is used in many anti-aging creams. Olive oil is best for moisturizing the skin.
Alternate to using wrinkle cream

If you do not want to use a wrinkle free cream for some reason and still wish to get rid of your wrinkled skin. Here’s an alternative for you.

An alternate treatment to using wrinkle creams can be a plastic surgery or Botox injections.  These alternates are expensive and intensive. For this, you would need to consult a dermatologist and find a great plastic surgeon. Remember, the recovery time will also be quite painful.

Over the Counter Products (OTC)


These products are a much less invasive way to handle wrinkles. The only problem with over the counter products is that they do not always work; only some of them can prove to be effective. When you go to buy an OTC, you must always ask for a product that contains retinol, moisturizers, vitamins, collagen and peptides. All these elements help to keep your skin younger. You can get different over the counter products for your eyes and day and night use.
