Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Sunscreen with mexoryl sx
• Red wine
• Lip balm with sunscreen
• Green tea
• Sunglasses
• Anti-wrinkle foods
• Antioxidants

1. Protect yourself from the sun. Use sunscreen daily with Mexoryl SX. Mexoryl SX blocks the harmful ultraviolet rays that cause wrinkles. Use a sunscreen with at least SPF (sun protection factor) 15 in your daily ritual. To protect your lips, use a lip balm with the sunscreen. Sunglasses with UV protection work well together, and sunglasses can also prevent cataracts.

2. Avoid sugary foods and drink eight glasses of water daily to stay hydrated and prevent sagging skin. A lot of sugar can go hand in hand with poor nutrition, making your skin look tough and wrinkly.

3. Eat anti-wrinkle foods. These include beans, tomatoes, berries, almonds, fish, apricots, sweet potatoes and sunflower seeds. Look for foods high in vitamins B and C.

4. Apply cream regularly. Apply an anti-wrinkle cream that has Retin A, which is a type of vitamin A that helps boost collagen. Other antioxidants to look for in a cream include Co-enzyme Q10, green tea, black tea, copper peptides, vitamin E and caffeine. Apply moisturizers before bedtime. If your skin is not well hydrated, it will crease more easily.

5. Do not smoke if you want to prevent wrinkles. Smoking damages collagen and elastin, which will destroy your skin's elasticity. Your skin will be dehydrated and you'll get premature wrinkles.

Tips & Warnings

• If you're going to drink alcohol, try red wine. Its antioxidants help against free radicals in your system.

• Add sunscreen on a daily even if it's cloudy outside. The UVA rays are still lurking around.

• Consult your doctor if you're not sure about the effect a new diet will have on your body.
