There’s no harm in having wrinkles. A few facial lines can be endearing and add character to your face. But it’s no secret that most of us would prefer to keep them in check. All skin ages, but some people do a great job of slowing down the signs!
Without medical or surgical intervention, it can be challenging to reverse the appearance of wrinkles once you have them. There are steps you can take to prevent wrinkles from happening and lifestyle changes you can make to slow down their appearance.
Skin loses elasticity and acquires wrinkles because collagen production slows down over time. This process can be accelerated by a variety of factors, including sun exposure, pollution and certain lifestyle habits. As you get older, skin tends to become thinner, too. When your skin doesn’t have as much volume as it used to, it can also make it more prone to wrinkles.
What can you do to prevent wrinkles?
Taking good care of your skin can go a long way in keeping it wrinkle-free for as long as possible.
Lifestyle factors that help keep your skin looking healthy and youthful include:
1. Protecting your skin from the sun’s damaging rays every single day
2. Good quality skin care including retinols, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C
3. A healthy diet including vitamin-rich foods and avoiding sugar and carbs
4. Don’t smoke
5. Avoiding repetitive facial movements such as squinting and using straws
6. Even sleeping on your back can reduce wrinkles
What else can you do?
Another very popular way to prevent and reduce wrinkles is the use of neurotoxins. Neurotoxins are injected in areas of the face and neck to weaken targeted muscles, making them less able to move and therefore less chance of forming wrinkles. Botox/Xeomin/Dysport, in the hands of skilled providers, can safely treat wrinkles on the face and neck. These treatments are not permanent and will wear off after a few months. Reinjections at regular intervals can keep you smiling year ‘round. We are happy to announce our new Sky Tox Club.
