Preventing and Repairing Deep Forehead and Eye Wrinkles
If you are worried about deep eye wrinkles or deep forehead wrinkles, there are things that you can do to help prevent them and solutions for reversing them or at least reducing their depth. Before you resort to cosmetic surgery, take the time to read this article and learn about your alternatives.
Step into the Shade
Studies have shown that sun-worshipers have more wrinkling, sagging, roughness and, in general, a more aged appearance than their friends that stay in the shade. Repeated overexposure to the sun, especially to the point of burning, causes age spots and contributes to deep forehead wrinkles by increasing free radical damage.
Free radical molecules are among the leading causes of cellular aging, but they are naturally present in the cells of our body. We can’t get rid of them completely, but we can control the amount of damage that they do.
Deep eye wrinkles, particularly those at the corners of the eyes, are most likely due to squinting. So, in addition to staying in the shade, wear some shades over your eyes.
How beneficial is protecting the skin from the sun, when damage has already been done? If you are in reasonably good health, it should make your skin look smoother and more even toned within six months, as long as you are consistent.
Increase Your Antioxidant Intake
Antioxidants control the amount of damage that free radical molecules can do. They may even reverse damage that has already occurred. Eating more antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables helps, but applying antioxidants directly has proven benefits for deep forehead wrinkles and deep eye wrinkles. Creams containing the antioxidant coenzyme Q10 have been shown to reverse wrinkling by as much as 30% over the course of six weeks.
Use Mild Cleansers and Good Moisturizers
Most people over clean their skin and fail to use a good moisturizer after every bath or shower. Over-cleansing can contribute to deep forehead wrinkles, by making the skin look red and damaged. Exfoliants and mild acid solutions are sometimes recommended, but those can do more harm than good, by thinning the skin. The skin becomes thinner with age, anyway. So, we don’t want to contribute to the problem.
Makeup application and removal can contribute to deep eye wrinkles by continuously stretching the area. Try doing without waterproof mascara and finding one that is easier to remove. And, always remember to use your moisturizer after makeup removal.
Use a Nighttime Anti-aging Cream
The skin is a naturally rejuvenating organ. It is continuously producing new cells and fibers. That production simply slows down with age.
The best way to reduce deep forehead wrinkles is to use an anti-aging cream every night, because the reparative processes are ongoing while you are sleeping. Ingredients that are proven beneficial include avocado oil, Shea butter, the protein keratin and coenzyme Q10. Some nighttime creams contain all of those.
For deep eye wrinkles, there are European ingredients called EYELISS and HALOXYL. They are found in some of the better eye contour gels. No one wants to look older than they feel, but you might not have to step foot in a cosmetic surgeon’s office, if you follow the advice in this article.
