Are the fine lines near your eyes and mouth giving you sleepless nights? You are in mid forties, young at heart still the appearance of wrinkles are weighing your confidence down? Do you feel helpless and old as you are losing the battle against wrinkles? If the answer is yes to any of these, first thing you need is to take a deep breath and go through this article.


I am sure that the below listed ways will help you manage the appearance of those fine lines with grace.


1. Evade the sun


Researchers have proved that sun exposure plays a dominant role when it comes to appearance of signa of ageing in form of wrinkles. So limit your sun exposure and ensure to protect your skin by liberally applying sunscreen at least 20 minutes before you step in sun, with your eyes well protected by sunglasses.


2. Quit Smoking


More and more scientific studies have confirmed the fact that cigarette smoke impacts the skin by releasing certain enzyme which is responsible for the breakdown of collagen and elastin.


3. Proper sleep


Follow the golden rule, – ‘early to bed, early to rise ‘. In conditions of sleep deprivation, body produces cortisol, a hormone that breaks down skin cells and triggers appearance of wrinkles.


4. Sleeping posture


The American Academy of Dermatology advises, to sleep on your back in order to delay wrinkles. It advocates that certain sleeping positions result in sleep lines that in long run get engraved into skin as wrinkles. Sleeping on your side increases wrinkles on cheeks and chin, while sleeping face-down results in creased brow.


5. Get Fishy


No, don’t get suspicious; just include fish in your diet. Salmon and other fresh water fishes are loaded with essential fatty acid known as omega-3; this nourishes and nurtures the skin, making it supple by reducing wrinkles.


6. Load your plate with fresh fruits


Eat more fresh fruits as the antioxidants present in them fight damage causing free radicals, thus improving your skin texture.


7. Sip Cocoa rather than coffee

Cocoa is rich in dietary flavanols which guard skin from sun’s damage and even enhances blood circulation to skin. So, trade your coffee for cocoa.


8. Supplement your diet with soy products


Soy protects the skin from photo ageing damage caused by sun and it also improves firmness of the skin.


9. Hydrate your skin


Moisturiser acts as a hydrating agent for skin. Opt for natural or herbal moisturisers like Aloe Vera as it helps in restoring natural moisture of the skin.


10. Don’t over wash


Over washing your face, washes away the natural oils of the skin that protects it from appearance of fine lines. Opting for soap free, face wash also aids in restoring natural oils of the skin.


Other than the above mentioned ways, with the advent of cosmetic and surgical science, procedures like Botox, laser resurfacing, wrinkle lifts, wrinkle fillers, chemical peels and dermabrasions are also extensively used for an even textured skin. But, such procedures are expensive and have their own side effects.
