Facial Wrinkling – The Major Contributors
There are many things that contribute to and cause facial wrinkling. They are simply a sign of time passed and there is no disgrace in having them. No matter how much we dislike them, they are an inevitable part of aging.
Everyone remembers the first one they got. Who could forget? Its not something we expect really, although we know they are coming. Then we work very hard trying to get rid of them. Its not something most women take sitting down! If there is something that can be done, we do it!
There are numerous OTC options for diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Alpha Hydroxy Acids and Glycolic Acid Peels work well for removing some of them. However, if you seek optional treatments, there are other methods that are available. We buy creams, lotions, ointments, fillers, serums, and more products that we can think of to treat them. Yet they are still waiting for us the next time we happen to glance at our reflection in the mirror. They creep up on us like a vampire in the night, and suddenly we find ourselves older and looking less youthful. The best way to approach wrinkles is to use some anti aging care prevention. But first lets explore why we get them. ContributorsAging Wrinkling is a by-product of aging. With age, skin cells divide more slowly, and the inner layer of the skin, called the dermis, becomes thin. The network of elastin and collagen fibers which support the outer layer of the skin become loose and detached, causing depressions on the surface of the skin. The depressions are called wrinkles. (Elastin is the protein that allows the skin to stretch, and collagen fibers are the major structural proteins within the skin.) With aging, skin also loses its ability to retain moisture and sebaceous glands become less efficient. The skin also reacts slowly in the healing process as we age. All of these things contribute to their development. Stress Stress is the one of the number one causes of premature aging. The more stress you have, the more facial contortions you make. Stress also releases all kinds of harmful chemicals in your body. The more you stress out, the more harmful chemicals are released into your bloodstream. The more harmful chemicals your body has to handle, the less its able to do it job repairing the skin.
Alcohol and Smoking Healthy skin continually regenerates itself. While old collagen breaks down and is expelled from the skin, new collagen is subsequently produced. Research has found that alcohol consumption and smoking cigarettes cause a marked reduction in the formation and production of new collagen. Depressions and fine lines develop when there is a lack of new collagen being produced. They also deplete the body of vital fluids causing dehydration. Skin can become dull and sallow if these products are consumed in high amounts. Treatment Options for WrinklesThere are numerous OTC options for diminishing fine lines and skin depressions. Alpha Hydroxy Acids and Glycolic Acid Peels work well for removing fine lines. Many women, including myself!, have had great success with products like Neutrogena Healthy Skin Both DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge Anti aging products only do but so much. You must treat wrinkles from the inside out too! If you don't buy products or do one other thing to prevent them, do this one thing! Take your daily vitamins! They are a vitally important part of anti aging and are necessary for your body to function properly. Taking daily antioxidant vitamins, (not a multi-vitamin, please!) helps reverse damage done by the negative forces in your environment. Once I started taking a handful of vitamins everyday, people hardly even knew who I was. It took years off the signs of aging for me. You also need to consume as much water as possible. Water helps keep your skin properly hydrated and plumped. It also helps with the production of collagen and elastin, which are vital to your skin. Without ample water, your skin will sag even more! If you seek additional treatments, there are other methods that are available. Removing skin layers to reduce wrinkling is an effective way to regain smoother, more youthful looking skin. Dermabrasion (scraping layers of skin) and chemical peels (dissolving skin) are two of the traditional methods used in resurfacing skin. Two newer procedures have been developed however, which are laser skin resurfacing and Botox injections. These are the latest techniques to repair aging skin. Medical Treatments and retinol creams are OTC products that you can use if you don't have the money for Retin-A.Dermabrasion, Retin A, Botox, and laser treatments are done by dermatologists. Be sure they are medically certified if you seek treatments. Whatever your stage of wrinkling, you can be assured that there are techniques or products that will work for your skin. Experiment around with some OTC products to find out if they will work for you. Retin A has helped many women reverse the clock when OTC's don't quite 'git er done' for you!
