Anti Wrinkle Home Remedies

It is true that wrinkles are an inevitable part of the natural process of aging. But they can be delayed with appropriate skin care. Along with proper skin care, it is also important to know the factors that can cause or speed up the entire process of skin aging. This can help you take the appropriate measures for preventing the development of premature wrinkles and fine lines.

As we age, the skin becomes thinner and it loses its elasticity, mainly due to the loss of underlying fats and the connective tissues. The natural production of 'sebum or oil' also gets reduced due to aging, for which the skin becomes drier and tends to develop fine lines and wrinkles.

The production of collagen and elastin also reduces with advancing age. These two scleroproteins are responsible for maintaining skin elasticity.

The overexposure to sunlight or ultraviolet radiation of the sun can break down these two scleroproteins, and accelerate the development of wrinkles on the face and other parts of the body. Apart from sunlight, factors like smoking and exposure to free radicals can also speed up the development of wrinkles and fine lines. Even facial expressions like squinting and smiling can leave behind fine lines and wrinkles over a period of time.

The appearance of wrinkles and fine lines can be reduced with the help of anti-wrinkle skin care products like topical retinoids, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, face lift, laser treatment, and botox injections. 

However, many people prefer to use the natural remedies for the obvious reasons that they are less expensive, and they usually do not cause any adverse effects on the skin. The following are some of the most effective remedies that can reduce the visibility of wrinkles by making the skin firm and supple:

• If you are looking for a natural product to tighten your skin, then try egg white. Apply egg white on your face, and let it dry out completely before washing it off with lukewarm water. Egg white is an effective home remedy for reducing wrinkles around the eyes.
