SURPRISING WAYS TO REDUCE WRINKLES
1. SLEEP ON YOUR BACKSleeping in certain positions night after night leads to ''sleep lines''---wrinkles that become etched into top layers of skin and don't fade once you're up.Sleeping on your side leads to wrinkles on cheeks and chin,while sleeping face down gives you a farrowed brow.To cut down on new wrinkles,sleep on your back.
2. EAT MORE FISH LIKE SALMON
Salmon (along with other cold-water fish) is a great source of of protein,as well as one of the the body building blocks of great skin. It's also an awesome source of omega-3 fatty acids. Experts say that essentials fatty acids nourish skin and keep it plump and youthful,helping minimize wrinkles.
3. DON'T SQUINT--GET READING GLASSES!
Making the same expressions over and over--like squinting --overworks facial muscles,forming a groove beneath the skin's surface. Eventually the groove becomes a wrinkle. Keep those eyes wide: wear reading glasses if you need them. And get savvy about sunglasses,which can protect skin around the eyes from sun damage and keep you from squinting.
4. SLATHER ON ALPHA-HYDROXY ACIDS(AHAS)
These natural acids lift away the top layer of the dead skin cells,reducing the appearance of pores,fine lines and surface wrinkles,especially around the eyes. And stronger forms of AHAS may help boost collagen production. Using AHAS can make your skin more sensitive to the sun,so wear plenty of sunscreen everyday.
5. DON'T OVER-WASH YOUR FACE
Tap water strips skin of moisture and natural oils that protect against wrinkles. Wash your face too often,and you wash away it's protection. And unless your soap contains moisturizers,use a gel or cream facial cleanser instead.
