There are several ways to fight and prevent wrinkles. One way to prevent them is to pay attention to food. Both foods you consume, and foods you can use as a home remedy are important to pay attention to so you can do your best to prevent wrinkles.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Antioxidants
  • Tomatoes
  • Broccoli
  1. Step 1

    Preventing wrinkles is an easy weekly task if you are able to identify the things in your grocers produce section that can help you in this quest. Both consuming and using produce and foods to your benefit can prevent wrinkles. Wrinkle prevention has never been easier if you simply eat your way to a better antioxidant-rich diet.

  2. Step 2

    One great wrinkle prevention food is the tomato. A tomato contains lycopene, which has properties that decrease the risk of developing cancer. Some foods, such as red peppers, contain healing properties and can also moisturize and heal the skin. Dark vegetables, such as carrots, beets, and broccoli, also contain many antioxidant properties that can help prevent wrinkles. I recommend trying to consume one portion daily, or a minimum of 6 portions per week.

  3. Step 3

    Food can also be used as a wrinkle remedy. Of course, there will be mixed success by trying the following remedies, but people swear by them and keep trying them as they are on a mission to avoid and prevent wrinkles. One is to use egg whites under the eyes instead of an eye serum. Egg whites can be beneficial in promoting cell regrowth and stimulating cell rejuvenation. Another home remedy is to use castor oil and apply on the face and neck. This is also said to rejuvenate skin. Applying coconut oil before bed has been said to be an effective treatment for people from Hawaii. Another island remedy is to use the core of a pineapple on the face. Rubbing the core of a pineapple on the face is said to work great on deep, fine lines.

  4. Step 4

    This may sound rather general, but also its important to add 8 tall glasses of water to your daily diet. Water is the most important thing in life, and drives the body. It's like how fuel drives a car, water drives the body. In the case of your skin and the effects of water, water simply moisturizes your skin and gives it a healthier glow. So, don't skip out on the h20, it is a very important part of an overall healthy diet as well as a great solution to help you to prevent wrinkles.

Tips & Warnings
  • Drink plenty of water
