It’s better to prevent or slow down the formation of wrinkles rather than try to “cure” them after the fact. You are on the right track by using sunscreen everyday.
Skin creams work TEMPORARILY by slightly irritating the skin so that it puffs up or swells. That gives the illusion that the wrinkles have decreased – until the effect wears off. So, if you want to use skin creams, the cheapest will work just as well as the most expensive.
You skin has a support layer. Every time push, pull, squeeze it you are breaking that layer down. So the best thing to do is to only touch your face when necessary and then as lightly as possible. If you can sleep on your back so that the sides of your face aren’t flattened into the pillow that’s even better.
Use sunscreen preferably with UVUA protection.
Protect your skin from the cold and the wind.
Keep hydrated – avoid caffeinated or alcoholic drinks. Both cause dehydration.
Don’t smoke. Smoking ages your skin. Have you ever looked at all the lines around a smoker’s mouth from sucking cigarettes, cigars or pipes for years?
Keep your hands and fingers off your face unless necessary. Don’t rest your head in your hands, or touch your face as a nervous habit. Your fingers touch many germ laden surfaces and when you touch your face you transfer whatever is on your fingers to your face.
That’s it.
Right now, you can’t start soon enough.
i am 24 .up till now , haven’t tried any anti-winkle creams .. but my skin is very sensitive .. i am Asian Chinese .. so i think i don’t need to use it so early ..
When you are a newborn. Have you seen how wrinkly babies are? Yikes, they look like raisins.
18 yrs old, Mary Kay works really well, im 20 an I use it, my sis sells it an ever since I’ve seen improvment in my skin.
I have used Oil OF Olay for twenty years and now I am using the Neutrogena microdermabrasion system. It makes your face feel so soft and takes away aging skin. Also I suggest facial masks every night.
It’s up to you and your skin type. Some older women I know have put moisturizer around their eyes every night before bed since they were in their mid or late twenties. It can be something cheep, but it does the trick and their faces look young with hardly any noticable wrinkles. Don’t forget your neck which tends to wrinkle faster than your face sometimes! Also, sunscreen isn’t the best, unless you really need it!
Stop with the sunscreen it is so bad for you! sungazing.com or naturalcures.com and you will be amazed on how much anti aging info there is.
I’d say right when you turn 30 its true that in your thurdies are the best time of your life but that is the age where you start getting fat a friend of mine was so skinny and her skin was lovlely antill she became 35 she changed and she doesnt even look half her age…………wish you the best and hope you dont turn out like a friend of mine
In your twenties.
