Natural ways to avoid wrinkles on the skin

What happens to overly tanned skin? It becomes dry and leathery after overexposure to the sun. You can keep your skin soft and smooth by avoiding harmful UV rays from the sun. Wear large sunglasses with protective lenses to protect the sensitive skin around your eyes. Rub sunblock, not just sun lotion, on the parts of your skin most likely to get sunlight, like your shoulders, face, ears, and hands. You'll not only look great later, but you'll keep your body safer from skin cancer.

Put away the pack of smokes. With the high risks of skin and lung cancer that smoking brings, it's no wonder that your skin is also negatively affected by smoking. The tobacco-filled air dries out your skin, leaving it rough, wrinkly and leathery. Your skin can also become discolored. If you aren't a smoker, be sure you are keeping your distance from those who smoke around you. Their second-hand smoke can damage your skin almost as much as if you were smoking yourself.

Exercising each day keeps the wrinkles away. Getting your body in gear regularly is one way to give your skin a healthy glow. You'll work out stress, help your skin make natural oils, and even cut down on your smoking. Your skin - and body - will thank you. With each of these natural ways to soft, smooth and sexy skin, you're sure to do good for your body and overall health. Make these regular, daily habits, and you'll begin to notice a change in the way your skin looks and feels.

Don't wash your face too often : Washing your face more than once in a day will drain out essential oils and moisture from the skin. Your skin becomes scratchy and rough and hence exposed to wrinkles. Be sure that you also wash off all make up and still wash even after getting an airbrush tan.

Select smarter meals if you want smoother skin. If you are wondering where the wrinkles and breakouts keep coming from, check your diet. Fatty, greasy and oily foods are bad for your skin - no surprise there! Instead, select healthy food that is rich in vitamins and nutrients. Vitamin A is an especially positive choice for great skin, and fish is both tasty and filled with minerals your skin craves.
