Who we are is often reflected in the state of our skin - that we either care about it or simply take for granted. If it is not that pliable or as thin as before, then you may already have wrinkly skin. The question now is, can we avoid it?

A lot of experts believe that we are only delaying the inevitable. There have been advances in the dermatological field which individuals can use as well as home cures that have proven to be quite efficient. Over night face cream is one of the best ways to support the skin’s natural cell renewal process and increase moisture content, as well as firmness. But, the most popular night face creams contain petrolatum and other petroleum jelly cousins, which cause excessive greasiness, clog the pores and interfere with natural cell renewal.

Use products such as applications or facial emollients containing the Alpha-hydroxic acids or AHAs. This is generally distilled from milk, fruits and sugar cane and incorporates Vitamin A that clears off the dead cells on the surface of the skin. It promotes collagen growth which fills in the furrows and also counteracts free radicals that can damage the skin.

The only negative effect is skin soreness which happens on occasion. You can try the product you are using by rubbing a little of this on a small patch of skin behind the ear. If it turns red the next day, then that means you’ve been affected, otherwise, it is safe.

It is also advocated that twice a week, you should try exfoliating your skin, since it gets rid of dead and dry skin skin cells thus new cells are promoted. This enables the skin to absorb the cream or the moisturizer better, since it is hydrated.

There is this natural way of preventing furrows and that is to use a piece of an aloe vera plant since the leaf itself contains malic acid thus holding it to the skin would be beneficial. Papaya is another good example to use because it incorporates enzymes that can scratch away the top layer of the skin.

Employ a moisturizer each morning after washing as this helps keep in moisture in the skin. Preferably, SPF30 should be contained in this so that you will be safe-guarded from the sun’s ultra-violet rays and that the additional creases that it may cause can be avoided. You can also use another natural way that is using fresh avocado since it contains an anti-oxidant which is the vitamin E.

Apart from applying creams to your face, since creases can also be prevented by drinking lots of water and having a mindful watch at your diet. The food you eat should be rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids that will help you achieve a healthy skin cell structure.

If you want to maintain general health, then you better make an effort to exercise regularly since the blood circulation to the skin can also be improved. You shouldn’t smoke or drink too much because it shoots down the purpose of all the precautions you have done to avoid furrows.

The skin is creased into expression lines when we are stressed since we are actually making excessive use of the facial muscles. To prevent that from occurring, don’t scowl too much or raise your eye brows in surprise.

Finally, try to stay inside as much as possible particularly during the times when it is so hot outside like between 10 am and 4pm in the summertime. Protect yourself by wearing a hat, bringing an umbrella or putting on a pair of shades if you really need to go outdoors.

Now, do you think it is possible for us to avoid having such a wrinkly skin? The reply is yes, provided we take the necessary steps. Those mentioned above are much affordable than having to undergo laser surgery or injecting some chemical into the body so do your best before you have to recourse to other means.
