Anti-Aging Tips - How to Hide Your Wrinkles

For those in their golden years, having wrinkles may not be so bad. Many even welcome them as they are proof of having weathered the years in flying colors. But it's another thing when they start to become visible at the age of 30 years old. In this case, their appearance suggests lifestyle abuses and poor skin care regimen. Thankfully, there are plenty of remedies available. Getting rid of the lines is not difficult, more so if they are in the early stages of development. Here's what to do:

• Adopt a proper skin care regimen.
  • Beauty always starts with a clean face so make sure you do that morning and evening using a mild cleanser or one that contains anti-aging properties. Aloe vera-based cleansers make a great choice in this case for as long as you are not allergic. Aloe vera has both soothing and nourishing properties which your skin badly needs of.
  • After washing your face in the morning, follow it up with a moisturizer. One that can double as a sun screen is a good choice. This way, you'll be hitting two birds with one stone - get your face moisturized and get it protected from the harmful rays of the sun.
  • After washing your face in the evening, apply some toner to clarify your skin. If you do this consistently, skin discoloration and imperfections are likely to diminish over time. Follow this up with hydrating night cream. Choose one that contains a healthy dose of antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients such as Cynergy TK and hyaluronic acid.
  • Exfoliate at least once a week. Removing dead skin cells counts towards beautiful skin, if you must know!


• Quit smoking. Cigarette smoking does many evil things to the body. Aside from those you must have already heard of many times, smoking interferes with blood circulation depriving skin cells of the needed nutrients. Cigarette smoking is also identified as a factor in the development of lines above the upper or around the mouth.


• Drink plenty of water. Keep yourself hydrated to prevent loss of moisture that can make your skin weak and vulnerable. Experts recommend 8 to 10 glasses a day. If you can do more or unless you have a medical condition that prohibits too much water, increase your daily requirement to 12.


• Make wise food choices. Increase your fiber intake as well as your consumption of fruits and vegetables, especially those noted to have high levels of antioxidants and other nutrients. Junk foods, fatty foods and preserved foods accelerate aging, so if you resolve to get rid of the wrinkles, avoid them.


• Do some facial exercises. Exercising regularly keeps the skin strong and more elastic, so if you have lines on your face, try a number of facial exercises every day to tighten and lift your skin.

In the meantime that you are waiting for visible results, you can try to hide your wrinkles by:

• Using accessories. Tear the public's eye from your wrinkled face by wearing large sunglasses or using large or long necklaces (this will bring attention to your chest).
• Covering the body part that has wrinkles. If you have lines on your neck, wear a scarf or a shirt with a high-necked collar. If you have them on your hands, cover them with fashionable gloves or wear long-sleeved blouses.
• Concealing the flaw with makeup. All you need are foundation, concealer, powder (all made with natural ingredients, no less!). You don't need to be a professional makeup artist to experience results. For as long as you have all the essential makeup, concealing wrinkles will not be very difficult.
