How to Prevent Wrinkles in Your Twenties

Wrinkles do not happen overnight.

Getting old doesn't happen overnight -- it's a long, continuous process. Old age may seem like a long time away, but some of the causes of wrinkles can be prevented in your early twenties. Taking good care of your overall health minimizes the effects of aging and helps keep wrinkles away.

Instructions

1. Drink water. It helps flush your body of toxins and improves skin elasticity. The recommended daily intake of water varies between sources. Between four and eight glasses of water, however, should become a daily habit.

2. Avoid too much sunlight. It contains ultraviolet light, which is harmful to the skin and can cause irreparable damage. If you're out in the sun, be sure to wear suitable sunscreen and moisturize your skin afterwards.

3. Stop smoking. It damages your entire body and contains an enzyme that damages the skin, keeping it from stretching the way it should -- which causes wrinkles to appear.

4. Improve your diet. Many foods -- especially fruit and vegetables -- contain beneficial vitamins and minerals that can help prevent wrinkles. The oils found in fish are also helpful. Consider a vitamin supplement if you don't like eating fish, fruit and vegetables.

5. Sleep. Getting enough reduces the strain on your body. When tired, your body produces chemicals that can damage the cells in your skin and produce wrinkles over time.
