One thing is sure…if you live long enough, wrinkles will eventually form on your face and neck. Just because the wrinkles are sure to form, however, doesn’t mean that you can’t fight back. Before we discuss how to get rid of wrinkles, we must first explore the reasons for their formation to begin with.
Wrinkle formation has 3 main contributing factors. We’ll explore each one to see how they affect wrinkle formation.
First, and perhaps the worst, is the formation of free radicals because of your skin’s exposure to direct sunlight. Their one purpose in life is to attack and damage your skin cells. Free radical damage normally first appears as crow’s feet around the corner of your eyes. You can limit the damage from free radicals by always wearing sun screen when you go outside.
Collagen is a protein that is responsible for your skin’s elasticity. Collagen production will begin to diminish after you reach the age of thirty and continue for the rest of your life. Make sure your everyday skin care includes a product rich in collagen.
The separate dermal layers of your skin are bound together with another protein called elastins. As time passes and these elastins begin to dry and become brittle, folds will begin to appear on your skin. It is important to use an effective moisturizer to limit elastin issues.
To be effective, your skin care product should contain some other things. It must contain anti-oxidant to fight free radicals. A good skin tightening ingredient (ie: serum albumen) is also highly recommended. Also, use products that have something to help natural collagen production, like Matrixyl.
