Wrinkles: 7 tips to get rid of them

We all know that wrinkles are one of our partners in life. However, we also know that we feel much better without them. And that’s the reason why today we want to share some tricks with you to keep them at bay. It’s never too late to get your skin back in shape!

7 tips to say goodbye to your wrinkles

Wrinkles are the result of the loss of collagen and elastin in our skin, which is a natural process that takes place while we age. When the production of these proteins decreases, the skin becomes thinner and unprotected from external damage, such as solar exposure, pollution and any kind of toxins.

When we are repeatedly exposed to this damage, the skin develops more wrinkles. But even if as we said it’s simply part of getting older, there are ways to slow down this development and give the skin resources to protect itself against external hazards. If you put them into practice regularly, we can guarantee that you’ll see results!

Avoid smoking

Apart from all the well-known reasons to give up smoking, taking care of your skin is also one of them. Why? Because cigarettes speed up the ageing process by reducing the amount of oxygen your skin receives. Consequence is not only the loss of its healthy glow and elasticity but also the development of new wrinkles. To be precise, research has shown that smoking makes us appear between 10 and 20 years older than we are. It’s time to give it up!

Respect your skincare routine

Splashing cold water on you face in the morning is not only an easy way to wake you up, but it’s also recommended as part of your daily skin-care routine. Bacteria accumulate throughout the night, so it’s important to get rid of it, together with serums and moisturizers you may have applied the night before. This way you’ll have your skin ready to get hydrated. Also, follow the same routine before you go to bed. When your skin has a chance to breathe, you prevent wrinkles and keep your skin looking younger.

Keep your skin hydrated

As we just mentioned, the skin needs to get hydrated on a regular basis. External elements like the weather or seasonal changes may deplete your skin’s water content, and this will affect your appearance. Following a skin care routine to keep it hydrated might not make wrinkles disappear miraculously, but it will definitely make them less pronounced and therefore noticeable.

Also, it’s important to know that hydrating doesn’t equal moisturizing. With hydrating products you increase the amount of water in the skin, while moisturizing ones help to prevent water loss and reinforce the skin barrier function. But both of them make your skin smoother and with fewer wrinkles!

Use sunscreen

A tanned skin might make you feel more attractive, but if you’re concerned about wrinkles, it’s definitely not a great idea. This doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy sunbathing, of course you can get your daily dose of vitamin D! But bear in mind that sun exposure is one of the most common causes of wrinkling and skin damage. So, to protect it, make sure you always apply sunscreen 30 minutes before you go outside.

Eat more anti-ageing foods

We are what we eat, but also what we don’t eat. If you think you have more wrinkles than you should, it’s time to review your eating habits! Research suggests that an increase in vitamin C can help regenerate skin cells and reduce wrinkles, but also that a diet that includes fruits and veggies on a daily basis is related to a healthier skin.

And what are these anti-ageing foods that you should be including in your basket, next time you visit the supermarket? Grapefruits, mangoes, carrots and tomatoes are well-known for being able to minimize wrinkles. But it’s not only about getting rid of them, as your skin is usually the first part of your body that will let you know if there’s anything wrong internally. Other interesting foods you should take into account are broccoli, that will help you produce collagen; walnuts, that stimulate the production of elastin, and spinach, that contributes to cell renewal.

Drink more water

We have mentioned water several times, as keeping your skin hydrated will slow down the progress of wrinkles. However, the best way to boost your hydration is to drink more water or to eat foods with a high water content. The human body is made up of over 70% of water, therefore, drinking enough every day is essential to flush toxins away from the body. Remember that our skin is the human body’s largest organ, so it needs water as much as our hearts and brains.

Sleep and rest

Sleeping every night will not be enough if it doesn’t equal good quality sleep. This means being able to fall asleep within 30 minutes or less after you go to bed, not waking up throughout the night more than once or sleeping the recommended amount of times.

And why is this related to the wrinkles on our face? Because usually when we live under a lot of stress, we have more difficulties to fall sleep or to have a good rest. Besides, we also produce a hormone called cortisol, which is responsible for making the skin thinner. As a consequence, the skin is unprotected and wrinkles appear, so, make sure you control your stress levels to avoid it!
