10 Tips To Reduce & Prevent Wrinkles

The bitter truth is: as much as we’d love for a miracle product to straighten out the crow’s feet or furrows around the mouth, there ain’t one. But, a few preventive skincare products as well as some easy lifestyle modifications are the best ways to reduce wrinkles and kind of run an iron over the wrinkly skin. Keep scrolling and get ready to take your skin back in time! 

How to prevent wrinkles in 7 easy steps 

1. Never skimp on moisture 

The answer to the question – is it possible to prevent wrinkles? – is moisturization. Wrinkles are caused overtime because the skin loses its ability to retain moisture. A super-hydrating moisturizer will keep hydration in check and delay the appearance of wrinkles substantially.

2. Relax your face 

On an average day think about the number of times you squint your eyes, frown, or purse your lips. It’s a lot. Overtime, these facial movements speed up the formation of wrinkles. So, the next time you catch yourself doing them, consciously relax your face and muscles and your future self with thank you! 

3. Don’t miss out on anti-wrinkle products 

The first place where wrinkles start settling in? Eyes. Since the skin here is much more delicate than the rest of the face, it needs extra TLC. Using an anti-wrinkle eye cream twice a day gives you targeted action and substantially prolongs wrinkles. If you’re 25 and above, start using one STAT!

4. Don’t look down! 

We used technology long enough to come up with another lifestyle issue – the tech neck. Constantly looking down while using your phone or laptop which not only strains the neck but also causes premature folds and creases on the neck. Keep your devices at face level and pamper the delicate neck skin with a nourishing cream that encourages lift and hydration.

5. Are you sleeping right? 

Sleeping for a good 7-8 hours is beneficial for so many things, but you already know that. What you might not know is that sleeping on your stomach or side can make you prone to early wrinkles. It exerts tension on facial muscles, and over time it distorts facial skin. The way out is to try and sleep on your back as much as you can and use a silk pillowcase that’s much kinder to your skin and prevents abrasion. 

6. Back in time with retinol

The world has gone gaga over retinol and it surely deserves all the limelight. It's a potent active that boosts cell regeneration, boosts collagen production, and keeps skin tight and bright. Using a retinol serum or an over-the-counter tretinoin cream will help you reap all these benefits. Although, if your skin is too dry or sensitive, then you can use bakuchiol instead. It's a plant-based alternative to retinol, and is much gentler. It also does not cause any skin irritation or dryness that often tags along with retinol.

7. It’s all in the food 

8. SPF for the win 

Prevention is not only better but easier than cure! There is no cap to when one can start using sunscreen and the earlier you start, the better. Sun causes the skin to age at an alarming rate unless you protect it with a film of broad-spectrum SPF. Ensure that you wear one every day, and re-apply it every 2 hours if you seriously want to prevent wrinkles.

9. Use skin-brightening skincare

As you enter your late 20s, your skin slowly loses its ability to produce collagen - a protein in the skin that is responsible for keeping skin healthy and younger-looking. Skincare products that are packed with antioxidants and collagen-boosting properties should be your go-to. The citrus fruit ‘yuzu’ contains 3x more vitamin C than regular lemon and thus 3x more antioxidants.

10. PM skincare routine is a must 

Night-time is the best time to replenish your skin and target your skin concerns. While you catch up on your beauty sleep, your skin will work overtime to deeply hydrate itself and reveal brighter, younger skin. This quick 5-step anti-wrinkle PM routine will be your skin saviour.
