WRINKLE TREATMENT

Who does not want to feel young and stay young forever? I for one would love to at least look young and presentable as I am getting older. Believe me I have seen and would really like to congratulate some of those who still look young and wrinkle free even after crossing their 50s.It’s true you can’t avoid aging, but you don’t have to end up all crinkled and creased. It has become so difficult to staying youthful and having a glowing skin in our kind of environment, especially because of the hot and humid climate and also the pollution that causes our skin to accumulate dirt, grime and tanned. Thus in course of time the skin looses it’s texture and starts to wrinkle and look older. The worst enemy of the skin is sun exposure and 90% of skin aging is due to sun exposure. The ultraviolet-A rays that cause enormous damage are present all day long in all seasons. These rays wear away the elasticity of the skin causing wrinkle,

The factors that cause wrinkles are chemicals, stress, improper skin care, diet, and nutrition and lifestyle habits such as smoking. Another factor is gravity. The corners of the mouth turn down, eyelids droop, the tip of the nose dips. The muscles that make you laugh, cry, wink can leave permanent creases over time.

You may not be able to prevent certain body changes; however, you can protect your skin from wrinkle formation by using the following home remedies:

The most important way of protecting your skin from the sun is to wear sunscreen everyday. It not only minimizes the chance of growing wrinkled, but also protects you from skin cancer. Whatever may be your skin type, applying sunscreen should be as part of your routine. The earlier you make it a habit, the better for your skin, as it will keep you looking youthful in the later years. Applying a moisturizer can also temporarily improve the appearance of wrinkles. The best way is to apply on wet skin. To protect your skin around your eyes, where crow’s feet form and sunscreen may not reach, you must wear sunglasses that will protect your eyes from the glare. Smoking can cause premature wrinkling. Squinting from smoke irritation can worsen crows feet and also pursuing the lips to puff on a cigarette can contribute to vertical lines around the mouth. You need to train yourself to sleep on your back, as sleeping with your face pressed against your pillow can cause sleep lines over the years. We may not be aware of the expressions we make, and need to modify some especially if it is part of your reaction to stress, then you need to do some relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and taking things very cool. Apply coconut oil on the portions of the skin and face where wrinkles set in and gently massage every night at bed time. Banana is also a wonderful anti-wrinkle treatment. Mash ¼ banana until very creamy and spread it all over face and leave it for 15-20 mts before rinsing off with warm water followed by a dash of cold. Another good remedy you can try is apllying the white of an egg on the face keep it for 20 minutes and then wash.
