Avoid these habits and control your wrinkles

Wrinkles were always associated as a part of the aging process, and were noticed only as you grew older. However today things have changed wherein wrong lifestyle, stress and wrong food habits lead to the development of wrinkles at a younger age.

People are today in fact willing to spend thousands of dollars to get rid of these wrinkles. Instead of getting rid of the wrinkles, it’s better to avoid some of these habits which trigger and lead to wrinkles.

Sleeping on your tummy and side

It is a known fact that your body needs sleep, and you need at least 6 to 7 hours of good quality sleep to look and feel refreshed and youthful the next morning. However you need to pay attention to your sleeping position as sleeping on your side or belly can cause wrinkles.

In fact, no matter how soft your pillow may be, burrowing your face into your pillow only puts pressure on the skin’s collagen and elastic fibers. This develops into fine lines on your chin, forehead and cheeks. So to prevent all this, it’s better to develop a habit of sleeping on your back, and using a satin pillowcase.

Same facial expressions

It is true that your facial expressions improve your communication power. However it’s not advisable repeating the same expressions as it leads to premature aging signs like wrinkles and fine lines.

Your facial muscles are unnecessarily trained if you repeatedly make a particular expression. With time, the muscles also lose their flexibility to give more prominent lines on the skin.

In fact, any repetitive facial muscle movements lead to wrinkles. This is why it’s possible to control some facial expressions which overwork facial muscles like frowning, pouting, scrunching and squinting.

It’s also better to avoid pulling and stretching your skin when you apply makeup or are cleansing your skin. You can also help your skin repair itself when you sleep with a good quality night cream.

Smoking

Smoking is known for causing health problems like cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease, infertility and much more. In addition to this, it can also lead to developing aging signs at an early age.

Moreover, regular smoking exaggerates skin conditions like uneven skin tone, saggy skin and psoriasis. It also overworks the muscles around your mouth to lead to deep wrinkles. Even those who smoke, but whose skin is exposed to second-hand smoke don’t can get wrinkles.

So while it’s not possible to completely eradicate wrinkles and its formation, these tips do help you restrict and control the formation of wrinkles.
