How to Prevent Wrinkles

I don't know about you, but I hate spending hours and money on my face. I

I want a simple, inexpensive skin care regime to help keep me looking great and prevent wrinkles. I and found it. You should see my before and after pictures on my web. It was hard posting pictures of myself - especially when they showed all of my wrinkles. But since my after pictures were so much better, it was worth it to prove that my skin care tips really work.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• copper peptides
• salicylic acid
• emu oil

1. 1. Feed Your skin - Build More Collagen
   
   I use a strong copper peptide cream. It doesn't smell pretty, it doesn't come in a fancy expensive bottle or jar, and it's blue - but once you rub it into the skin the color disappears - but this is some serious skin care stuff!! Probably the best anti aging cream on the market.
   
   Clinical data on anti aging research shows Copper Peptides to be effective at reversing skin aging on human skin. Copper Peptides also can:
   
   
   Tightening loose skin
   Improving skin elasticity
   Improving skin firmness
   Reducing fine lines and depth of wrinkles

2. 2. Exfoliate - Get Rid of Old Dead Skin to Make Way For New Collagen
   
   
   Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid are exfoliating agents used for facial peels. These natural agents - derived from sugar found in milk and fruits -- offer a number of benefits to aging skin such as:
   
   
   reducing enlarged pores
   eliminating fine lines
   exfoliating dead skin cells
   
   
   
   If you're over 40, the lactic acid should be your best friend because as we age our skin gets dry, dull, and discolored. All those years of sun bathing is now starting to show up on your face (sigh!)
   
   This hydrating lotion not only helps remove sun spots and discoloration, but hydrates and gives you skin a moist smooth glow. The salicylic acid is great for closing up large pores. I use both a few times a week and love them.
   Other benefits include: increase collage production, increase moisture binding properties, and help dissolve and remove stretch marks and other skin lesions.

3. 3. Moisturize, heal and protect - with Emu Oil
   
   When you apply a moisturizer are you really moisturizing or just covering your face with unnatural greases and waxes.
   
   Unfortunately, most moisturizers are full of chemicals; however, emu oil is a natural moisturizer -- with a similar composition to human skin oils. Not only can it protecting your skin from water loss and help to prevent wrinkles, it can also heal inflamed and damaged skin.
   
   The Australian Aborigines have used this and only this to heal and protect their skin for hundreds of years. That says a lot considering how harsh the sun is in Australia.
   
   Emu Oil works for all skin types and won't aggravate specific skin problems like, dry itchy skin, clogged pores or whiteheads. It's has healing properties that especially helpful for burns, eczema and psoriasis.
   
   I use it every day and every time I wash my face.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure the copper peptide you purchase contains a special complex called GHK-Cu (glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine:copper (II). If not, it's not the REAL thing and your results won't be so dramatic as mine.
• See my web site before and after pictures for proof of these 3 steps.
• copper peptides can be irritating to very thin, wrinkled skin. So start out slowly and if there is any irritation, then appy the emu oil first, this will slow the uptake of the copper peptides
