It would be nice if we could just ignore the process of aging and let it happen naturally due to increased stress, bad eating habits, impure environment, and so on. 

However, only ignorant people can do such things because there is no way to protect your body from the ageing process. Wrinkles are one of the aspects of ageing that tend to get noticed and bring our looks down, especially in today’s society where looking good matters. 

However, the good news is that you can follow the right skincare routine to reduce wrinkles effectively.

Ditch the myths

There are many myths and old wives’ tales about how to make your skin look younger. If you’re looking for the “cure-all” solution, it isn’t going to be a cream. 

Skincare tips include eating foods that are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, taking care of your general health, taking care of the environment you live in by avoiding too much sun exposure, not smoking, wearing sunscreen every day, using a moisturizer regularly, getting enough sleep at night, not stressing out over little things such as pimples and acne scars.

Omega 3-6-9

Coldwater fish such as salmon, mackerel, and herring are a great source of protein. This is important because as people age, their body’s ability to process nutrients decreases. The amino acid levels found in fish can help the body maintain strong muscles and improve brain function and vision. 

Omega-3 fatty acid plays a crucial role in the omega 3-6-9 fatty acids ratio. Eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaiocan acid (DHA) are two of the most common and vital omega-3 fatty acids contributing to having youthful skin, making it clear of wrinkles.

Sleep

The body naturally cleans most effectively while you are asleep. As a result, your skin has unwanted ingredients that make it seem dull, clogged, and scarred when you sleep less. In addition, if you are not sleeping properly and the body does not get the proper cleansing, the morning after-effects can be much worse. 

You could feel tired and irritable or experience headaches or stomach discomfort due to too much stress on your system. That is why to achieve the real essence of healthy skin. You need to sleep at least 8 hours every night.

Sleeping position

The importance of a good pillow is seldom thought about. It’s known that your pillow is important for providing support to your neck and back. But, what about the chemicals, dirt, and toxins in your pillow and pillowcase? These contaminants can easily transfer to your skin as you sleep. 

Chemicals from household cleaners, detergents, perfumes, fabrics softener, personal care products, and other household items are transferred to our pillows. Toxic metals such as mercury from amalgam dental fillings can also be absorbed by pillows, which then absorb into the tissues of your face or head when relaxed for long periods of time.
