Here are some tips and tricks for healthy skin:

DRINK a lot of water.

Although water is not food, it is included in the nutrition category because it is the most effective and easiest remedy for wrinkles. Water is a basic need of our body that we tend to ignore. Drinking water not only prevents and treats wrinkles, but it also keeps you healthy in general. Remember that one of the causes of wrinkle formation is water loss. So drink plenty of water. Six to eight glasses of water is enough on a normal non-working day. When you work hard, play a lot, go to the gym, or do other jobs that drain water from your body, you need to drink more water.

Also make sure you filter the water to keep it safe. The chemicals and ingredients dissolved in hard water can be more dangerous to your skin. Water intake also includes drinking healthy beverages such as fruit and vegetable juices (other than colas and sodas) throughout the day.

EAT food that prevents wrinkle

They include antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, trace minerals such as selenium and copper, high-quality proteins, plant compounds such as isoflavones, retinol - vitamin A, iron, one form of vitamin E and C, monovalent unsaturated fats, etc. al. In short, forget junk food and embrace healthy food.

Here is a list of foods that can prevent wrinkles

* Dark fruits and vegetables
* Nuts such as almonds and walnuts
* Beans, legumes, lentils
* Egg
* Liver
* Fatty fish such as tuna, salmon, herring and sardines
* Flax and sunflower seeds and oil
* Brazil nuts
* Whole grains such as brown rice, whole wheat and oats
* Shellfish
* Green and white tea
・ Soybean food (appropriate amount only)
* Fruits like papaya, avocado, pineapple, berries and watermelon
* Vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic

CHANGE lifestyle

Lifestyle habits such as pollution, stress and smoking cause wrinkles. So if you are ready to fight wrinkles, one strategy is to make certain that you make some lifestyle changes.

Here are the most important lifestyle tips to get rid of wrinkles.

SLEEP enough and sleep properly

During sleep, the body produces human growth hormone (HGH), which controls the growth of all body tissues, including skin. When you don't get enough sleep, your body releases cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone that slows growth and causes tissue damage. New skin cells are needed to fight and prevent wrinkles. We also need to prevent damage to the body's tissues to prevent further wrinkles.

So, do not neglect the sleep your body needs. It is important to get enough sleep, but also sleep in the right position. Otherwise, you may have wrinkles called sleep lines.

* The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) says that sleeping on your side can cause wrinkles on your cheeks and chin. Do not sleep on your stomach. If you do, you will be frowning. The best position is to sleep on your back.

DON'T stress

Easy to say, hard to do. But getting rid of wrinkles is not an easy task either. You need to get rid of stress because it cannot fight the factors that cause wrinkle and your skin becomes thinner and weaker. Also, grimacing or frowning only makes temporary facial wrinkles permanent.

DON'T smoke and do not smoke passively

It's hard work again for the smoker and even for the non-smoker Smoke creates free radicals. Free radicals cause molecular instability in the body, which weakens body cells and damages cell membranes. As as a result, your body produces less collagen. Collagen is the element that gives your skin its elasticity. Lack of elasticity in your skin means wrinkles. So if you smoke, quit smoking. If you don't smoke but is a passive smoker, ask them not to smoke near you. If this is not possible, get up and move to another place until your friend or partner has finished smoking.

Diet and lifestyle changes are things you can control. There are some factors that are beyond your control, but they affect your skin enough to cause wrinkles and if that is not possible, protect yourself from these external sources.

PROTECT your skin from the sun's harmful rays

The sun's UV rays damage the collagen in your skin, causing wrinkles. It is best not to go out when the sun is at its brightest, but that is not always possible. There are several ways to protect yourself and your skin from these harsh rays of the sun.

When in the sun, use a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. If you have access to a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 25-30, it will be effective in protecting you from UVA and UVB radiation from the sun. Fortified sunscreens containing vitamin E or soy isoflavones can protect and strengthen the skin's barrier by helping to regenerate collagen.

Bring accessories such as hats, scarves and umbrellas. Sunscreen should be reapplied when going outside for long periods of time. If that is not possible, use something that prevents the sun's rays from penetrating your skin.

Wear sunglasses when going out in the sun to avoid eye wrinkles. Your eyes are sensitive and so is the skin around them. Strong sunlight makes your eyes squint and wrinkles around your eyes. Invest some money in quality sunglasses to prevent these fine lines. Use brands that do not hurt your eyes and cannot be replaced.

USE cosmetics carefully

Cosmetics are used to improve the quality of the skin, but they can actually also damage the skin. Read the labels when you buy cosmetics.
