Wrinkle Treatments for busy lifestyles

Everyone wants their skin to look good, but the challenges increase as the years go by, with factors such as diet, lifestyle and environmental factors having an effect too. There’s no getting away with it – wrinkles will appear, simply because with smiling, laughing and frowning alone our faces will show the effects.  But that doesn’t mean to say that our skin has to look bad, or there is no way of reversing or improving the look of fine lines and wrinkles. There are a lot of wrinkle creams on the market, plus procedures such as Botox and laser therapy that can help.

Many factors determine which is the best treatment for the individual depending on budget and time. In this article we will look at what causes wrinkles, wrinkle treatments for busy lifestyles, and other steps that can be taken to improve the look of skin.

Before anyone looks at anti-aging skin care products, the first thing to do to help reduce wrinkles is protect the skin, and this is simple to fit into busy lifestyles. One of the major factors in causing wrinkles is sun damage, so start using sunscreen before going outside, even in cooler months. Sun protection products will also soften the appearance of already existing wrinkles too. Also a few minor lifestyle changes will help things along too, such as eating more fruit and vegetables, and incorporating more protein-based foods into the diet as collagen and elastin, which are the key components of skin, are protein compounds. And of course, drink more water, as hydration helps skin look younger and healthy.

Crows feet are one of the unavoidable first signs of aging.  They appear because we all have facial expressions for laughing, smiling and frowning and as we get older, we produce essential proteins that help the skin retain its elasticity and strength more slowly, and as eyes have the least amount of fatty tissue, crows feet appear earlier than other wrinkles. Lines around the mouth can also appear early and are caused by regular lip movements so are unavoidable, but smoking is also a big factor, too.

So, what are the best wrinkle treatments to fit into our busy days? Anti-wrinkle cream can be incorporated into regular skin care routines, so will take barely any time out of the day to do. Ingredients to look for include peptides, stem cells and growth factors. Another treatment is using retinoids which help remove dead skin cells to make way for new growth as well as slowing down collagen deterioration. There is also the option of medical treatments for stubborn wrinkles such as Botox and laser therapy. For instant wrinkle remover Botox is relatively affordable and can be quite effective at temporarily soothing a wrinkled face, neck or brow. Appointments can take anything between ten minutes and half an hour or upwards depending on the areas to be treated. Lasers can remove moderate to deep lines and improve tone, texture and tightness of the skin – again appointments can be fitted into busy days depending on what’s been treated.

Whatever cream, treatment, or lifestyle change is made to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, it’s important to research all options thoroughly to ensure they fit in with individual lifestyles, health and budget.
