Get rid of Wrinkles For Younger Looking Skin


When it comes to wrinkles, finding the best method to fight them and make them go away is a difficult task. Some are the adepts of natural ingredients and methods while others prefer the synthetic methods (chemicals, scrubs, gels, which contain chemicals). The truth lies somewhere in between, and getting rid of wrinkles successfully can be done if you know which of the natural and which of the synthetic methods to use.

The natural way- the natural ways of fighting the wrinkles and basically the early aging of our skin include the following:

·         Giving up smoking- if you are a smoker, and you are struggling with those nasty wrinkles and fine lines around your eyes and mouth, you definitely need to stop smoking. When you smoke, your skin basically cannot produce the most important ingredient of the skin, the collagen which gives elasticity and that smooth feeling to your skin. Moreover, with smoking a good blood flow (circulation) is also prevented. If blood doesn’t reach the capillaries in the face, then excess dead skin will develop, which is basically an enemy of your skin.


·         Don’t use regular soap on your face – if you don’t want to kill the top layers of your skin then avoid using regular soap when you wash your face. Make sure to use only liquid soaps/ gels/ foams that are specifically made for use on the skin of the face. Regarding water, you should always use cold water when you wash your face, and avoid warm or hot water as much as possible.
·         Using sweet potato masks- Sweet potatoes are a great source of hyaluronic acid, which helps greatly reducing the wrinkles.

All of the above mentioned methods are inexpensive, and actually very healthy. Instead of using ultra expensive wrinkle creams, try out for a period all three methods, and you will notice that your skin will get younger, healthier and more glowing.

The Synthetic waygetting rid of wrinkles only by the natural way is not possible, especially if you have to put up with deep wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and generally on the face. Therefore, you should consider using face creams that have as ingredients the following two components:
  • The Alpha Hydroxy Acid- if you see this ingredient on the packaging of the cream you are about to buy, you should know that the Alpha Hydroxy Acid will help eliminate dead skin cells. If the dead cells are gone, the skin can beautifully regenerate, and the wrinkles gradually disappear or visibly reduce.
  • The collagen- this ingredient adds elasticity and moisture to your skin. Wrinkles basically appear because your skin suffers from a huge lack of collagen. Most of the wrinkle creams contain collagen, but you should always make sure to read carefully the label.

Consider all these little healthy advices if you want to deal successfully with your wrinkles. You need to understand that you cannot make wrinkles go away from one day to the other, unless you use surgical methods. But if you dedicate enough quality time to taking care of your skin with both natural and proper synthetic ingredients, you will shortly see a much more beautiful, wrinkle free skin on your face.
