How To Prevent Getting Wrinkles Before Your Time

1. Avoid the sun or at least use a sunscreen during the day. UV Rays age your skin. Sunning yourself is the surest way to get wrinkles before your time. 2. Quit smoking. Smoking ages you. A smoker has more wrinkles than a non smoker of the same age. Take a look at a heavy smoker in her forties (sans face lift/botox) and you'll see what I mean. 3. Sleep early at night and aim to get at least 8 hours of sleep at night. Your body (including your skin) regenerates itself at night. Skip your sleep and you'll age faster. 4. Botox. Some people start botox before the wrinkles show since if you can't even frown, how can you end up with frown lines. There's some logic in that, though personally I'm not sure if I'd do that. 5. Use a good moisturizer day and night for your skin type. I'd prefer this route to botox. Look at the ingredients list. Hyaluronic acid's a potent moisturizer that really hydrates your skin. AHAs slough off the old, dead skin, revealing the younger skin beneath. Antioxidants like vitamins A, C, E, pycnogenol, green tea neutralize the free radicals that would age your skin. 6. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Besides putting moisturizer on your face, you need water stores in your body to keep skin supple and healthy. 7. If you have dry skin, eat walnuts, sprinkle olive oil over your food and make sure your body gets the essential oils it needs to lubricate your skin. Dry skin gets wrinkles more quickly. 8. If you use a toner, go easy on the alcohol. Try using alcohol free toners as alcohol dries your skin. You might not feel it now but as the years go on, you'd find your alcohol based toner would give you fine lines. Try witch hazel instead if your skin is oily. 9.
