10 Simple Ways to Reduce Wrinkles

There are cheaper and more practical ways than applying expensive night creams to help keep the lines off your your features. Here's how:

1. Lay on your back when you're sleeping. Laying on your side causes wrinkles on your cheeks and chin, while facing down gives you a furrowed brow.
2. Avoid repeating the same facial expressions or maintaining it for long periods of time. Forcing your facial muscles to overwork forms grooves which eventually become wrinkles. Wear reading glasses to prevent you from squinting or sunglasses to avoid glares.

3. Don't wash your face too often. If you do this, you wash away the natural oils and takes away moisture that protect against wrinkles.
4. Drink enough water. Hydration is important to maintain healthy skin.
5. Eat more fish, especially salmon. Cold water fish contains high level of omega 3 fatty acid that will nourish and keep your skin to look and feel younger.

6.

   Eat or apply soy. Soy may help protect or even heal your skin from some of the sun's photoaging damage.
7. Drink cocoa. Epicatchin and catechin in cocoa protects your skin from sun damage, improve circulation and make the skin look and feel smoother.
8. Get enough sleep. When you are sleep-deprived, the body produces more cortisol, a hormone that breaks down skin cells.
9. AHA, retinoids, vitamin C. Most of these antioxidants can be found in fruit. Applying them topically in form of mask will help reduce those fine lines.
10. Don't smoke. Avoid second-hand smoking as well. Cigarette smoke breaks down skin collagen and elastin. Your skin will be thinner and more fragile.
