How to combat wrinkles
Wrinkles, as we know, are something that cannot be avoided. The signs of time passing on our face and body are something that cannot be avoided in any way. But then again, why would we want to eliminate them? The little marks on our face and body are nothing but the expression of how much we have lived, of our history and our lifestyle.
The only thing that can be done is to try to slow down this inevitable process. In this article, we explore some simple solutions to adopt every day with ease to postpone and slow down this process as much as possible.
DIET
The first and most important habit to adopt in order to slow down the skin aging process as much as possible is one that everyone knows but probably finds it harder to adopt. Having a healthy diet is indeed the essential prerequisite for much healthier, firmer, and younger-looking skin in the long run. Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants, which is why it is important to consume them freely. If you pay attention, people who consume these foods generally have much more elastic and toned-looking skin.
On the contrary, those foods that trigger a series of chemical reactions that alter the appearance of the tissues, which will then be particularly compromised, should be reduced as much as possible. The foods that should be avoided the most for healthy skin are the same ones that should also be avoided for the well-being of one's body. Good or bad, they are known to everyone and range from fried foods to particularly fatty foods.
HYDRATION
'Those who do not do skincare every day wonder why they should waste time with various creams and lotions. Why should it be so important? The answer is simply one: hydration prevents wrinkles. From this sentence, two concepts can be deduced:'
- Hydration is beneficial for all skin types. Of course, based on the specifics of each type, creams with different textures should be chosen, but, keeping this assumption in mind, if skin is not adequately hydrated every day, wrinkles will not be long in making their appearance.
- The most important thing is prevention. Acting when wrinkles have already appeared can only lead to temporary improvements or the creation of particular optical effects that make the wrinkles appear diminished (as in the case of make-up). The right choice is to start taking care of your skin from the age of 25, preventing the formation of wrinkles that should start to appear shortly thereafter.
NIGHT REST
Choosing the right position for nighttime rest can really make a difference in the appearance of wrinkles. Sleeping on your back can lead to your face being pressed against the pillow, which can cause the appearance of expression lines. Especially when spending a lot of time in the same position, the skin continues to fold in the same places, eventually leading to the development of actual wrinkles.
Getting used to sleeping on your back is essential not only for health reasons, as it facilitates breathing, but as we have seen, also to prevent the appearance of expression wrinkles.
These three good habits can help slow down the appearance of wrinkles, but the number one secret to dealing with their emergence is simply to accept them. Aging is always a privilege, and neglecting it because of the presence of a few wrinkles on the face would truly be a wasted opportunity.
