Wrinkles are natural result of the skin loss of elasticity as it age. But some behaviors can speed up the process and causes wrinkles prematurely. Here are suggestion on how to retain your skin's youthful glow.

I found it on parents magazine that im subcribed w/ and ive been doing it since, it works on me, add to that when your using a towel don't rub to hard just wipe your skin gently, rubbing too hard could also lead to dryness of your skin.

Thanks for the tips. I am always forgetting to drink water. I am also suggesting having a good amount of good fats in your diet to be helpful, fats from avocado, olive oil, and salmon.

PROTECTION AGAINST THE SUN You should enjoy the sunshine with reason. Some daily exposure from sun-rays on the skin will not hurt. On the contrary, it will in fact do your skin good. The skin gets a better colour, and it gets somewhat thicker and more robust. Massive daily exposure, however, has a very disturbing influence on the skin, and will cause all types of skin problems: Wrinkles, brown spots, discolouring, very thin or very thick skin, dry skin and cancer. To keep your skin young and healthy in the long run, you must protect your skin when you are outside for longer times. THE DAILY CARE OF YOUR SKIN The skin should be washed at least once every day with a mild soap or cleansing product. Men should shave during the wash or after the wash, depending upon the shaving method used. Then you should use some oil or cream to protect your skin and to make it smooth and elastic. Use a product containing natural oils with anti-aging properties. If you suffer from acne or other skin problems, the cleansing product and the protecting cream should contain ingredients to treat this problem. Before exposing your skin to heavy sunshine for a longer time, you should also use some additional product with sun-shield. If you have used a product with sun-shield or make-up during the day, this should be washed away in the evening, and a new layer of protecting cream laid on. More basic washing and care that that outlined here, is not necessary, and may in fact damage your skin. The same is true for heavy use of make-up.
