5 Ways to Prevent Wrinkles Naturally
Botox and dermal fillers are not the holy grail of anti-aging! There are natural, non-invasive ways to combat the signs of aging and look younger and more beautiful. A healthy lifestyle, good habits and a solid skincare regimen will work wonders without breaking your wallet. Follow the tips below to keep your skin looking as beautiful as possible.
1. Protect Against UV Rays
The sun’s dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays break down collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep your skin firm and flexible. The sun also etches fine lines and wrinkles into your skin, making them deeper over time, and causes hyperpigmentation and sun spots. To prevent these unsightly signs of aging, wear a sunblock with a minimum of SPF 30 every single day, rain or shine. If you engage in outdoor activities, re-apply sunblock every hour. Wear a hat and sunglasses whenever you step outside and protective SPF clothing when possible.
2. Facercise Daily
Practice your facial exercises every single day, twice a day for best results. This will help smooth out lines and wrinkles, stimulate the delivery of oxygen to skin cells and boost collagen and elastin production.
3. Avoid Smoking & Drinking
Smoking and drinking alcohol are two vices that wreak serious havoc on your appearance. Both dehydrate your skin, break down collagen and slow down circulation. Smoking also causes the formation of deep lines around the mouth and nasolabial folds.
4. Exfoliate Regularly
It’s important to shed the dead cells that dull skin and clog pores. Exfoliate on a regular basis to remove dead skin cells and promote cellular turnover. Using a product like our enzymatic masque, Face Lift to Go, is the pefect way to exfoliate to reveal a youthful glow.
5. Stop Squinting
Squinting causes crow’s feet, under-eye bags, and the brow furrow often referred to as “The 11s.” Wear sunglasses with SPF protection to shield the delicate under-eye area and eliminate the need to squint. If you have trouble reading, get the appropriate eyeglasses immediately. Consistent squinting over time can etch fine lines into the skin and make existing wrinkles appear deeper. Take preventive measures now to help maintain a smoother, more youthful appearance.

If you haven’t tried facial exercises yet, you may be considering one of the many dermal fillers on the market. The problem with Botox, Juvederm, Restylane and other injectables is that they are risky, have side effects and produce unnatural looking results. Men and women who overdo Botox are unable to make normal facial expressions and those who try to increase volume in their cheekbones can look very strange. Unlike facial exercises, which have no side effects, injections can be painful, cause bruising and may put a serious dent in your wallet.
