We all want to get rid of wrinkles

I'm sure all of us are in need of some good beauty tips and advice about how to reduce wrinkles on the face. Finding the best anti eye wrinkle cream can be hard work, and in these times we want cheap, affordable anti ageing creams which reduces those fine lines. I have included some natural home remedies for skin care and wrinkle solutions that are cheap and easy to make yourself at home. Fist let me tell you more about skin, as it's important to understand why we have wrinkles, and what causes the skin to act the way it does. Remember you are not alone in this, as we all are trying to find ways to reduce our wrinkles. All of us will hopefully develop some wrinkles in our life time. For me this is good, because it means we have lived long enough to actually get some, and that's a more positive way of looking at something that is a natural occurrence.

Skin care advice

Hey lets not hang ourselves over a few wrinkles on the face as everyone is going to get them at some point in their lives. Understanding the foundations of skin can help us see why it wrinkles like it does. Skin is made up of three layers which is..

  • Epidermis: This is the skin we can see and the most visible when it comes to wrinkles forming. It's the top layer that needs the most protection, and the epidermis is the part of our skin make up.
  • Dermis: Is the second layer which has the hair follicles, blood vessels, lymph vessels, and sweat glands.
  • Inner subcutaneous: The third layer of skin regulates temperature.

The under eye area is slightly different as it has no sweat glands, and for that reason are less hydrated and more prone to wrinkles. This is why we should pay special attention to the sensitive under eye area when it comes to our beauty regime as the aging process normally starts here. the drier the skin, the more likely it is you will have premature wrinkles on the face. This is why good moisturising is essential for prevention and reduction.

What causes wrinkles?

There are a number of factors as to why we have wrinkles on the face and they are, over use of sunbeds, Stress, age, and dry under nourished skin. I myself realised around the age of 30 that sunbeds were causing my skin to become more wrinkled, especially around the eye area. I stopped using them because of this and now use a high factor sunscreen whilst sunbathing. I would recommend at least a factor 15 and you will be surprised how you can still catch a tan. Try to avoid the sun around mid-day as this is the hottest and harshest time for your skin.

I have always used a beauty regime for my face but realise now that the products I was using were not always moisturising enough, so now I use a really good quality cream for wrinkles on the face. If like me you have sensitive and overly dry skin you will find it much worse so extra care is needed all round to try and reduce wrinkles on the face.

What reduces wrinkles?

I am using prevera anti wrinkle cream at the moment and finding it really good for reducing wrinkles on the face, and tightening my skin. facial exercise also helps to tighten the muscles of the face and so aid wrinkles. Try whistling and pouting to exercise these little used ares

. I use Bio oil at night as I find this really helps to reduce age spots and keeps my skin nourished all through the night. The following morning I find less puffing around the eye area too. Drink lots of water as this will rehydrate the skin and body and thus less likely to become dehydrated and dry. So a good beauty regime using day and night creams, lots of fluids and less sun will definitely help prevent more wrinkle appearing.

Home made anti wrinkle treatments

Here I have listed a few home made anti wrinkle treatments and skin care treatments for those of you who cannot afford the more expensive anti wrinkle creams. I have used these over the years and find they are just as good as when you have facials done in a beauty parlour. I will be writing articles in more detail for these home made treatment for wrinkles on the face so keep a look out. I would recommend trying one these treatments per week to avoid your skin becoming too used to them.

  • Mix the pulp of a ripe papaya together with half a teaspoon of olive oil. Massage into the face and neck area for a few minutes. Leave for twenty minutes and rinse. Apply your usually moisturising cream. This will leave your skin feeling really nourished, and is best applied on an evening. Helps to prevent facial wrinkles becoming worse, and is not a cure.
  • Almond oil is a great natural overnight treatment for facial wrinkles. It's simple and cheap to buy so pour yourself a good amount and massage in upward stokes onto the face and neck. Leave overnight and you will feel your skin is soft , supple, and smooth the next morning.
  • Mix equal amounts of honey and rice powder together and put in the fridge for half an hour. This can also be used with honey and milk cream, again mixed in equal amounts. Starting at the base of the neck, massage in circular motions right the way up to the forehead. Leave for half an hour and rinse off with warm water. Apply a small amount of your usual skin cream.


I hope this has given you some good ideas on ways to reduce wrinkles on the face as over the years they have helped me a great deal. It's a good idea to have a good look around before choosing the right facial wrinkle cream to use, and reviews and help articles like this are the best way as we have nothing to gain by promoting such things. There are some fantastic links on my page for you to have a good look at so please come back and leave comments. Also look out for more of my reviews as I will be writing much more on how to reduce wrinkles on the face and other beauty topics.

Oh yes this is a good one. Puouting and pulling all sorts of face is a great facial work out, but doing it in public may not look so cool even if it does reduce wrinkles on the face.
