While you incorporate these products into your regime, it would also do you good if you follow these points:

• Abstain from alcohol and smoking: moderating or abstaining from consuming alcohol and smoking is important to avoid the dehydrating effects of alcohol. These effects contribute to wrinkles. Alcohol also causes capillaries to leak. When you have passed out or sleeping after alcohol consumption, water gets collected in your soft tissue making your face puffy and creating the base for wrinkles. Cigarette depletes arteries of the nitric oxide which aid skin elasticity.

• Vitamin rich foods: Vitamins A,C and E as well as carotenoids and lycopene which are found in salmon and tomatoes respectively. It is important to improve health of skin to prevent the advent of wrinkles.

• Read labels: no matter what product you use, you must check the labels of moisturizers and wrinkle creams to know the wrinkle-busting ingredients.

• Wash and exfoliate: dry skin does not cause wrinkles. It is surprising but is a fact. It only makes existing wrinkles more noticeable. You must exfoliate regularly using a natural exfoliant or a chemical one depending on what suits your skin.

• Avoid sun rays: You must shroud your body completely to avoid the danger of sun’s harmful rays which are the main cause of wrinkles. Protecting skin with a sunblock is a must to enjoy a wrinkle-free skin.
