Ways to Reduce Wrinkles

You can't stop aging, but you can fight it. Besides wearing sunscreen (a must) and staying hydrated, there are four more ways you can reduce wrinkles and keep your skin looking young and smooth. Why should you look older than you feel?

Apply Vitamin A

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.

No. 7 Protect and Perfect Intense Beauty Serum

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

Sleep on Your Back

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.

Eat Antiwrinkle Food

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.
