How to reduce the appearance of wrinkles naturally?

While it might seem that the appearance of wrinkles is inevitable, there are natural ways to reduce their appearance.

As we start to age, wrinkles, which consist of folds in our skin, start to form, especially on our face, neck and hands. Also known as rhytides, they consist of creases on the skin, and are the result of lack of moisture and elasticity of the skin.

Although everybody develops wrinkles due to the natural aging process, genetics may also play a role in developing wrinkles, but also the exposure to the sun, pollution, stress, smoking, nutritional deficiencies and lack of sleep.

Below are 9 different natural ways in which you can reduce the appearance of wrinkles :

1. Avoid the sun :

Did you know that wrinkles appear mostly on skin that is exposed to the sun? That is right! The sun is the number one reason why wrinkles appear! Sunlight is essential for the skin to help manufacture vitamin D, which is important for normal bone formation. But the downside is that the sun’s ultraviolet light causes major damage to the skin and leads to the appearance of more wrinkles. So avoid the sun whenever possible, or at least wear a hat when you’re out and about.

2. Wear sunscreen :

That being said, wearing a hat is not enough! It is crucial to wear sunscreen as well to protect your skin, even on cloudy days. Sunscreen protects your skin from the sun’s ultraviolet light and thus prevents the appearance of wrinkles and protects you from skin cancer.

3. Don’t smoke :

Studies are confirming that cigarette smoke creates premature wrinkles, meaning that it speeds up the normal aging process of your skin. This is mostly due to nicotine and other chemicals present in the cigarettes that break down collagen and elastin, which are important components of the skin. In addition, nicotine causes blood vessels to narrow, reducing oxygen flow and nutrients to the skin cells.

If you are a smoker, try replacing this habit by another one, like drinking a fresh fruit juice. The less you smoke, the better for your skin!

4. Get enough sleep :

It is important to get at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night so that your skin can repair itself. Your skin produces new collagen during sleep, which helps to prevent sagging and makes your skin plumper and less likely to wrinkle. Also, when you don’t sleep enough hours every night, your skin becomes drier, which can make lines on the skin more visible.

5. Sleep on your back :

Sleeping on your back is the best position to prolong youthful skin. Sleeping in the supine position instead of on your side or on your stomach prevents the formation of “sleep line” wrinkles, which end up becoming permanent wrinkles with time.

Also, silk pillowcases are a better option than cotton pillowcases, because silk doesn’t create friction and helps prevent abrasion of the skin. Silk also helps in retaining moisture, which is beneficial in wrinkle prevention.

6. Wear sunglasses :

Wearing sunglasses will help protect the skin around your eyes from sun damage and makes you squint less. The less you squint, the fewer wrinkles you’ll have at the sides of your eyes.

7. Eat more vegetables and fruits :

One of the most essential things to do to maintain a youthful skin is to fuel your body with the healthiest and most nutritious foods. Vegetables and fruits contain antioxidant compounds, which fight damage caused by free radicals. This helps your skin look younger, healthier and more radiant.

8. Drink water :

Water keeps your body hydrated and refreshed, and helps your skin’s elasticity. People who drink large amounts of water are less likely to suffer from scars, wrinkles and soft lines. They also won’t show as many signs of aging as those who drink little amounts of water.

Drinking two liters of water every day is one of the easiest ways to keep your skin wrinkle-free.

9. Use an adequate face cream:

It is important to keep your skin hydrated as much as possible. The more hydrated you skin is, the better it looks, because lines and creases are less noticeable.
