1. Sleep on your back.
Certain positions night after night can lead to “sleep lines”- wrinkles that don’t disappear one you get up. Sleeping on your stomach gives you a furrowed brow while sleeping on your side increases sleep lines on your chin and cheeks. The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) suggests that you sleep on your back to reduce wrinkle development.
2. Eat more fish -- particularly salmon.
Salmon, along with most cold-water fish, is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids—an essential building block of great skin! Essential fatty acids nourish skin and keep it plump and youthful, helping to reduce wrinkles.3. Don't squint -- get reading glasses!
Wear reading glasses if you need them. Repetitive facial movements, like squinting, form a groove beneath the skin’s surface eventually causing wrinkles. Don’t forget, sunglasses will keep you from squinting on these hot summer days and protect your skin from wrinkles!4. Slather on alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs).
These natural fruit acids found in many face lotions lift away the top layer of dead skin cells, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes. New evidence shows that in higher concentrations, AHAs may help stimulate collagen production.5. Don't over-wash your face.
Tap water removes all of the skin's natural oil barriers and moisture that protects against wrinkles. If you wash your face too often, you wash away your protection. Avoid using soap; go out and buy a great moisturizing facial cleanser.6. Try topical vitamin C.
Vitamin C can increase collagen production, protect against damage from UVA and UVB rays, correct pigmentation problems, and improve inflammatory skin conditions. L-ascorbic acid is the most potent for wrinkle relief.7. Eat more soy.
Soy may help protect against or heal some of the sun's photoaging damage. Studies show that soy-based supplements improved the skin’s structure and firmness after just six months.8. Practice good skin care basics.
Start with the essentials: Avoid the sun, wear sunscreen, don't smoke, and use moisturizer!
Good luck reducing your wrinkles!
