Why do wrinkles occur?

In fact, as we age, the skin produces less proteins called collagen and elastin. Due to this the skin becomes thin and dry. When it does not have as much moisture as before, various types of spots and other skin problems start appearing on it. Due to unhealthy lifestyle, it is normal to have wrinkles on the face even during adolescence. See the graphic below to see who may have premature wrinkles on their face.

What do wrinkles look like?

If we look at the palm of our hand, we see lines on our skin. Due to wrinkles, such lines start forming on other parts of the skin also. These wrinkles are clearly visible when we are resting. Although wrinkles can occur anywhere, they are most visible on the skin of the face, hands, neck, arms and legs.

What can be done to prevent wrinkles?

Our body naturally produces wrinkles as we age. We cannot prevent it, but we can reduce the risk of early wrinkles on the face. Some solutions for this are shown in the graphic below.

Some home remedies to reduce wrinkles

We can protect ourselves from getting wrinkles on our face before age. Let us talk about its solutions in the pointers below.

wear sunscreen

A study published in the academic medical journal Annals of Internal Medicine found that sunscreen also helps reduce the signs of aging. In such a situation, applying moisturizing sunscreen on your face every day is healthy for the skin. However, consultation with the doctor is necessary for this.

reduce sugar intake

Sugar starts a process called glycation in our body. These break down the collagen that keeps the skin healthy. Foods containing excess sugar and oil are harmful for our skin.

stop smoking

Smoking is bad for our health for many reasons. But many people do not know that it can make our skin age prematurely. Smoking affects our facial skin the most. To avoid wrinkles, it is important to quit smoking.

use coconut oil

Coconut oil is a natural moisturizing liquid. When we apply it on our skin, it fills the gap in our epidermis i.e. outer skin and makes the skin smooth. Coconut oil does not contain any artificial chemicals etc. It is the best way to moisturize and soften the skin in its natural form.

drink green tea

Regular consumption of green tea softens the skin and also heals our tissue damage. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties present in green tea make the skin healthy.

wash your face regularly

If dust and dirt remain on our face for a long time, it can increase the oxidative stress of the skin. Therefore, before sleeping at night, wash your face with clean water. During this period, avoid rubbing your skin vigorously.

avoid ultraviolet rays

Ultraviolet rays are also a major cause of wrinkles. These rays cannot be completely avoided, but we can definitely take some measures for this. For this, wear a hat that protects your face from sunlight while being outside for a long time. Whenever you go out for a walk, if possible wear long pants and a shirt with full sleeves. With this we can protect ourselves from ultraviolet rays to a great extent.

Increase antioxidants in your body

The skin is exposed to more oxidative stress than any other organ in our body. Antioxidants help our cells fight oxidative stress. For this we can use sunscreen or wrinkle cream rich in antioxidants. Apart from this, include blueberries, beans, kiwi, turmeric, beetroot, fruits and vegetables in your diet to increase antioxidants in your body. This will make our skin healthy and our health will also remain good.

Make your skin healthy by consuming these things

The things we consume have a direct impact on our skin. For healthy skin, include more water, foods rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C and protein in your diet. Avoid eating foods high in fat and sugar as they can damage the collagen in our skin. See the graphic below to know what to eat and what not to eat for healthy skin.
