Who else wants to look younger? Get rid of wrinkles.

Some argue that the wrinkles are souvenirs form laughter, anxiety and all the days spent in the sun. Wrinkles are the wisdom written on our faces. Surely, everybody prefers to look rather younger than wise.

But nothing, except for cosmetic surgery, cannot stop skin hours. Anyway, you can still slow down their running, you certainly can! Here are some tips of what needs to be done in order your skin to look young and not to be a sign of excessive wisdom.

Attention : sun! When it comes to wrinkles, remember that sun is your greatest enemy. The prolonged stay in the sun may prematurely outwear the skin.

Use the tanning cream. This will slow down the process of wrinkles. Make it a rule to use sun cream, just like your habit of cleaning teeth. Apply cream after bathing. Wait until it soaks into the skin before you do make-up. Choose the right tanning cream. If you have a light skin, use a cream with a sun protection factor of 30, if your skin is dark, the protection factor should not exceed 15. Look for cream that contains zinc oxide, titanium dioxide. Good sun creams provide full protection against ultraviolet rays. Use water-cream if you have skin fractures - it stays longer. People often forget to inflict cream on some important parts of their body. Make sure that you dubbed the tip of your nose, ears, the top of the upper limbs, and the skin of the head, which will be in the sun.

Use a sun balm for lips. Search for a sun balm for lips and carry it with you so that you can use it when needed. Make sure it covers the skin of top and bottom lips; Special attention should be given to the front of the lower lip: this place is the most often affected by skin cancer.

Wear dark glasses. When you wear dark glasses the sun glare in your eyes becomes weaker. This will let your skin not to tense.

Protect yourself from ultraviolet radiation. While ultraviolet is the main culprit of wrinkles, make sure that your sunglasses provide such protection.

Buy a fashioned cap. The less of you will be exposed to the sun, the better for your skin. Wear hats with margins. Straw hats also offer a good standard of protection. The margin width of 8-10 cm is the best option.

Do not pull faces. With the passing of time the face wrinkles appear in the places where they occure the most often. If you gloom or move your eyebrows, the wrinkles may become permanent.

Get more vitamin C. Vitamin C has a dual effect on the skin. It helps to neutralize damage caused by sunlight, and promotes the development of collagen-protein, giving elasticity to the skin cover. Vitamin C is the main antioxidant of human body; It protects skin from the harmful effects of free radicals that destroy cells and even lead to mutations.

Keep constant weight. Even modest weight gain or loss can cause thin lines because of the constant pull and compressing of the skin. You will see that even losing 2-3 kg will affect your face, as it is the part of the body that loses mass first . The result is a double chin and scurrying skin on the neck.

Lose your weight gradually. Try to lose weight through gymnastics. Do not try to achieve micro, unhealthy weight.

Stop smoking. Smoking lends capillaries on the face, leaving the skin blood flow and reducing the access of oxygen to the tissue, making it prone to wrinkles. When you hold a cigarette with your lips, this lead to wrinkling of the upper lip. Therefore, those who smoke, get much more treacherous wrinkles than those who do not smoke.

Forget about exercises for facial muscles. There is no credible evidence that the new items like gymnastics for the face, as you can read in magazines, can save you from wrinkles. Quite the contrary, most of the facts show that the more you employ your face muscles the more wrinkles appear.

Make gymnastics regularly. Healthy ruddiness seen on the cheeks after physical exercise is caused by the blood congestion to the skin. The result is a dense, elastic skin that can resist the formation of wrinkles. But when you are exercising, remember to the dangers of dehydration. When cells lose water, they lose their strength, even if the water level is restored afterwards.
