SKIN CARE: REDUCING WRINKLES WITHOUT SURGERY
Even leaning your cheek on your hand too often can cause wrinkles.
For openers: Moisturize! Moisturization is essential to maintaining young-looking skin and staving off wrinkles. The best time to do it is after bathing or washing. You want the skin to absorb the water and then seal it in with oil or some other lubricant.
Most dermatologists recommend not adding bath oil to your tub immediately, but waiting until you’ve soaked for at least fifteen minutes, if you want your skin to benefit.
Supplements of vitamin C, 1,000 mg. and pantothenic acid, 1,000 mg. daily can help stave off wrinkles.
Keeping your body supplied with vitamin С will keep collagen – which is responsible for the stability and strength of practically all bodily tissues, including the skin – strong and elastic.
Vitamins A, B complex, fatty acids, and minerals are also important.
To reduce and prevent wrinkles, avoid your skin’s enemies and try not to stretch your facial skin by both gaining and losing weight rapidly, frowning or squinting, or even leaning your cheek on your hand too often.
