Ways to Reduce Wrinkles

A recent study cited by ScientificBlogging.com finds that the regular application of lotion containing Vitamin A (retinol) improves the fine wrinkles and lines caused by aging. And since aging starts as soon as you stop growing, it's never too early to apply Vitamin A. Look for a lotion with at least 0.4 percent retinol.

Every antiaging skin cream boasts of reducing wrinkles and smoothing skin, but how many have a study to back up the claims? This one, manufactured by Alliance Boots and sold at Boots Pharmacy stores in England, does. The researchers found that "at 12 months 70 percent of the people showed an improvement in facial wrinkles compared to the start of the study." The beauty serum is made of water, silicone, moisturizing agents, plant extracts and vitamins. Even if you don't live in England, you can order the Beauty Serum online by visiting Boots.com

It may seem too simple, but sleeping on your back can help reduce wrinkles in your face. MedicineNet.com reports that sleeping on your side or your belly can cause lines to form on your forehead and cheeks, which can then become permanent wrinkles.

Certain foods can help your skin fight aging, plump your skin and reduce wrinkles, reports MedicineNet.com. You want to find foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, flax seed) and foods that contain lots of Vitamin C (citrus). The fatty acids provide nourishment the skin needs to stay plumped and smooth. A study reported by WebMD.com found that regular consumption of Vitamin C may help reduce the appearance of aging.
