Aging is an inevitable part of life, and it can come with many changes to the skin such as fine lines and wrinkles. Wrinkles form when the dermis loses collagen and elasticity, leading to creases and folds in the skin. Wondering how to reduce or prevent wrinkles? TriDerma is here to help with five simple ways to combat wrinkles!
1. Protect Against UV Rays
We’ve all heard that the sun can damage skin, but it can expedite the process of skin aging and the formation of wrinkles, too. Up to 90 percent of visible aging on the skin comes from the sun’s UV rays, so protecting your skin from harmful exposure is the most important way to prevent early aging. Remember to apply sunscreen on days you’ll be outside, and don’t forget to re-apply throughout the day.
2. Add Eye Cream to Your Routine
Your nighttime routine is more important than you think! After cleansing, exfoliating and toning, make sure to apply cream to your face as well. TriDerma’s Spot & Wrinkle Cream will provide extra overnight hydration that helps reduce the look of spots, fine lines and wrinkles. Adding this additional step can prevent future skin damage and keep your skin looking vibrant and younger.
3. Get Your Beauty Sleep
Speaking of sleep, not getting enough of it can take a severe toll on your skin. Sleeping promotes collagen production, which supports skin elasticity. Lack of sleep interrupts this process, leaving a recipe for wrinkles. Getting the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep per night is ideal for optimal skin health.
4. Check Your Diet
Next time you make your grocery list, include foods like leafy spinach, blueberries, and pecans. Fruits and vegetables loaded with antioxidants help minimize cell damage and provide your body with essential nutrients that can prevent wrinkles. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids delay the skin’s aging process. Foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, tuna and flax seed. Fish oil pills are also a good source of antioxidants!
5. Wear Sun and Reading Glasses
Repetitive squinting can overwork facial muscles causing wrinkles to form around the eyes and forehead. If you find yourself squinting at your computer screen or while reading, invest in some glasses! Likewise, always make sure to wear sunglasses when outdoors to protect your eyes from sun damage and help slow the progression of eye wrinkles.
