How to Remove Wrinkles on Your Face and Neck
One thing is sure…if you live long enough, wrinkles will eventually form on your face and neck. Just because the wrinkles are sure to form, however, doesn’t mean that you can’t fight back. Before we look at ways to get rid of wrinkles, let’s look at why they formed in the first place.
Wrinkles form because of three things that happen as we age. Exploring each one will help you to better understand wrinkle formation.
First, and perhaps the worst, is the formation of free radicals because of your skin’s exposure to direct sunlight. These guys spend their time attacking and damaging skin cells. Free radical damage normally first appears as crow’s feet around the corner of your eyes. Wearing a good (SPF 30+) sun screen will limit free radical formation.
Collagen is a protein that is responsible for your skin’s elasticity. Your natural collagen production will begin to decline after the age of thirty. Using a good skin care product that contains collagen will help keep your skin younger looking.
The separate dermal layers of your skin are bound together with another protein called elastins. Elastins will become dry and brittle with age, causing “folds” in your skin. It is important to use an effective moisturizer to limit elastin issues.
There are other things that you should look for in a good anti wrinkle treatment. To eliminate free radicals, anti-oxidant (vitamins A & E) have to be included. A skin tightener like serum albumen is also highly desirable. You should also look for ingredients that stimulate the production of collagen, like Matrixyl.
