Surprising Ways to Keep Your Skin Wrinkles Free

Surprising Ways to Keep Your Skin Wrinkles Free

Practice Good Skin Care Basics:

1. Practice Good Skin Care Basics

If you want to keep your skin looking young, start with the essentials:

Avoid the sun.

Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Choose sun-protective clothing (long sleeves and pants).

Don't smoke.

Use moisturizer regularly.

2. Sleep on Your Back

Certain sleep positions can cause "sleep lines" — wrinkles that become etched into your skin over time.

Sleeping on your side can create wrinkles on your cheeks and chin, while sleeping face-down may cause a furrowed brow. Sleeping on your back can help reduce these effects.

3. Eat More Salmon

Salmon and other cold-water fish are great sources of protein, a building block for healthy skin.

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, these essential fats nourish skin, keeping it plump and youthful, which can minimize wrinkles.

4. Don't Squint – Get Reading Glasses!

Repeated facial expressions, like squinting, overwork facial muscles and form grooves beneath the skin that eventually turn into wrinkles.

Wear reading glasses if needed, and wear sunglasses to protect skin around the eyes and reduce squinting.

5. Use Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)

AHAs naturally lift away dead skin cells, helping to reduce the appearance of pores, fine lines, and surface wrinkles.

Stronger AHAs may also boost collagen, a protein that gives skin firmness. Since AHAs increase sun sensitivity, use sunscreen daily.

6. Don’t Over-Wash Your Face

Washing your face too often strips skin of moisture and natural oils that protect against wrinkles.

Use a moisturizing soap or a gel/cream cleanser to maintain natural oils.

7. Apply Vitamin C

Creams with vitamin C can enhance collagen production, protect against UVA/UVB damage, and reduce redness, dark spots, and uneven tone.

Look for L-ascorbic acid or ascorbyl palmitate in the ingredients for the best results.

8. Try Soy for Skin Care

Soy, applied topically or as a supplement, may protect and improve skin appearance, helping to repair sun damage, improve skin structure, and even out skin tone.

9. Swap Coffee for Cocoa

Cocoa with antioxidants like epicatechin and catechin can reduce sun damage, improve blood flow to skin cells, lock in moisture, and make skin appear radiant and soft.p
