Silver gray hair is a dignified sign of ageing but the same may cannot be said about wrinkles.  Instead of wisdom which is closely associated  with an older person’s white hair, wrinkles are the dreaded symbol of the physical deterioration caused by ageing.  The nice thing about wrinkles however, is that these days, there are many things you can do to have a wrinkle-free face.

Everyone has heard of Botox which is the rage these days among the more advanced in age.  It is also the best one available.  A Botox treatment involves the use of Botulinum neurotoxin A which is a potent toxin produced by the Clostridium Botulinum.  This substance is injected directly into the face to temporarily paralyze the expression muscles thereby eliminating wrinkles.  Aside from the removal of wrinkles, this toxin is also clinically used to treat migraines, prostate problems and eye muscle disorders. 

According to specialists the risks are practically nil because the amount of toxin used is very well calculated.  The results however, are great and 100% guaranteed.

If you find this approach quite dangerous and would not want to take the risk of having a form of toxin injected into your face, then we can try the more traditional methods of wrinkle removal.  Anti-wrinkle creams do work however not all of them are safe.  It is better to get information from people who have actually used them with success rather than rely on product advertising.  This is not to say that manufacturers want to trick people it’s just that these products have different effects on different skins.  When choosing a wrinkle remover consider factors such as its price, the advertising and the product testimonials of its users.  If someone with a skin type like yours has used it and was satisfied with the results, then it’s a sign that the product would also work for you.

Avoid a product that is alcohol based because aside from drying the face skin, alcohol also has other negative side-effects such as rashes and irritation.  To make lines disappear, the skin has to be rehydrated with the help of vitamins A, B, D, and E.  Thus in choosing a product, make sure these ingredients are part of the formulation.  Also, it is important that you strictly follow the usage instructions that come with it.  Do not use more than the prescribed amount or skip treatment as this can affect the efficacy of the product.

Homemade wrinkle removers are another alternative which you might want to try instead of expensive creams and fancy treatments.  They are also very effective in removing wrinkles.  You can massage your face every night with coconut oil, bananas or grapes.  These have been proven to be very effective in hydrating the skin.  These traditional remedies have been around for generations.   If you are interested in learning more, there are books and websites that contain recipes of these natural concoctions. 

Aside from using a wrinkle remover (a product or something homemade), make sure to keep yourself hydrated by drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water everyday.  Water is not only good for your skin but for your overall health as well.  Also, eat natural foods that are rich in vitamin A, B, D, and C for better results.

Now here’s to a younger more youthful looking you!
