Simple And Effective Ways To Avoid Face Wrinkles

Changes occur to our skin as we get older.  The first visable sign of aging is the appearance of wrinkles on our face.  People usually want to look younger as the years add on.  Knowing the right ways of dealing with these wrinkles is important to maintaining youthful looking skin.

A survey conducted showed that 36 percent of workers experience work stress regularly.  This was an online survey taken for one week between January 1 and February 8. It is reported that health care expenditures are nearly 50 percent greater for workers who report high levels of stress.  

Stress plays a major factor in chronic health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, musculosketetal disorders, and psychological disorders. It is also poison to companies as it has been linked to lost of productivity, absenteeism, poor performance and employee turnover. Commuting, working long hours, difficult co-workers, balancing work and family, fear of layoffs and more spell stress for the American workers. Stress management and wellness workshops are helping the corporate world, but one of the best stress relief is still practicing Yoga.
Yoga results in positive physical, mental and emotional changes for the body and mind.
It helps reverse the signs of aging and gives youth back to the body.  Start to add this practice to your weekly routine and start to feel the changes.
You may not realize that you are creating more wrinkles just sittng in front of a computer all day.  Here are some common everyday situations to be aware of.  
Sitting at your desk with your palm pushed up against your face will create creases and over time they will turn into large wrinkles.  Too much laughing and talking can result in wrinkles too.  Constant contraction of the skin and muscles can lead to face wrinkles over time.  
Keep drinking water throughout the day.  This helps to keep the skin hydrated and moist which will fight and prevent facial wrinkles.  Also, apply moisturizer to your hands and face when they start to feel dry during the day.  
Snack on a piece of fruit every day.  The anti-oxidants in the fruit will help release harmful toxins in the skin and see cell regeneration at 100%.
Remember to wear sunglasses when you go outdoors.  Sun exposure to your eyes everyday could increase wrinkles around the eyes.  
If you’re a smoker, keep the breaks to a minimum as these breaks throughout the day can severely dry out your skin.  Better yet quit, as smoking adds ten years on to the individual’s appearance.
Did you know your sleeping position can have an effect on promoting wrinkles?  
The best sleep position to stay wrinkle free is to sleep on your back.  It is the most neutral position for your head, neck, and spine.  It’s also great for preventing wrinkles since your face isn’t pushing on anything.  
Second best position for sleep is on your side.  It can reduce snoring, and is good for your back, but it can cause wrinkles since your face is pressed against the pillow and creases will develop.  
Avoid the fetal position as this can cause neck and back pain, and premature wrinkles.  
The worst position is sleeping on your stomach.  This puts pressure on your joints and muscles.  It can also irritate nerves and lead to pain, especially in the neck.
Although the aging process can not be stopped, there are ways for the skin to appear looking younger despite your age.  The skin begins to lose its elasticity, and gravity starts to take over making the skin fragile with the loss of collagen.  It’s very important to  take the extra effort of taking care of your skin as you age.  Proper care of your skin is important to avoid premature wrinkles and other signs of skin aging.  Using a daily skin care regimen is the most important routine in dealing with face wrinkles.  
Find quality skin care products which include a gentle exfoiliation wash, hydrating toner, sun sunscreen protectant w/SPF, and a night moisturizing cream.  There are many at home products to use.  Find one that works best for your skin.  Be consistent and you should see results with less appearance of wrinkles.
Living a healthy lifestyle plays an important factor in keeping healthy and youthful skin.  Healthy choices in your daily diet is essential to avoiding face wrinkles and other signs of skin aging.  Nutritional deficiencies  can cause wrinkles.  Schedule in regular exercise, at least three to four days per week, to maintain a good blood flow and oxygen in the body for healthy skin and lower stress level.  Avoid too much sun exposure to your skin.   When going outdoors, remember to use your sunscreen. The UV rays are there even on cloudy days. Taking simple precautions everyday will help prolong the aging process.
