Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process.
But watching them appear can make us feel tired and old! So, what is to be done? Luckily, there are easy ways to slow down or in some cases reverse the aging process.
First, we should understand why wrinkles occur before we can learn how to reverse or slow the effects of aging.
Fine lines and wrinkles in the skin come about for different reasons.
The major wrinkle instigators are: routine damage from the sun, lack of hydration, making contact with free radicals like pollution, and simply growing older.
The next ideas may help in your quest to slow or reverse some of the signs of aging.
Think about your own beauty regiment.
Routine face washings and using age-appropriate skin care are probably the central components to your beauty regiment.
The moisturizing and cleaning the face is by nature an anti-aging process.
If you keep your skin clean, the old layers of skin on top will be shed thus, revealing new skin and literally making your face younger.
But for some folks the basics of cleaning/moisturizing are just not enough to combat wrinkles.
When you want to do more to fight wrinkles, consider using organic essential oils.
These oils are sometimes called "aromatherapy.
" Using aromatherapy as part of your beauty regiment can help reduce fine lines.
Organic essential oils are naturally full of antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and calcium for the skin.
Working with these oils is easy.
If you are making your own essential oils skin care, carrier oils will be needed for application.
If you are purchasing the skin care, you will find the essential oils already apart of another product.
They are too concentrated for direct application to fine lines and wrinkles, hence the carrier oil.
Age-defying organic essential oils are found in most health-food stores or where aromatherapy products are sold (i.
e.
drug stores, beauty departments, online).
Another strategy to creating younger skin is through avoiding getting wrinkles in the first place.
Prevention of winkles starts by doing small things that are part of living a more healthy life.
Two preventative measures are using sun screen, and staying hydrated.
First let's discuss sun damage.
The sun can damage skin, furthering the appearance of wrinkles.
UV rays can harm the surface of your skin and penetrate several layers deep.
The use of sun screen lotions on your face can help prevent wrinkles, making this beauty step paramount for younger looking skin.
Dermatologists have recommended using sun screen lotions that are gentle on delicate facial skin.
But whatever brand or type you select, the most important thing is remembering to use it.
Also, maintaining hydration can prevent or slow wrinkling in the skin.
Drinking more water can rejuvenate saggy skin and keep wrinkles from appearing.
Sagging can occur with dehydration, so it's important that you not only drink your quota of water, but eat naturally liquid-rich foods.
