Two Types of Wrinkles on the Face and How to Reverse Them
January 11th, 2012Some wrinkles aren’t just about getting older. Wrinkles can be a sign of more serious inner issues, like dehydration, or even a vitamin or mineral deficiency.
When your body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs, your skin will suffer first. In many cases, skin begins to wrinkle before its time because it’s starved for nutrition!
By focusing on your inner health, you can improve your appearance. Using the perfect anti-aging wrinkle cream or product can transform your skin only so much, but, eating fresh, nutritious, and delicious foods will improve your inner health and the quality of your skin at the same time. Then your skin care product can do the job of protecting the skin topically. The benefit of the anti wrinkle products that are high in antioxidants cannot do it alone if your skin is starved from the inside.
Deep wrinkles in the muscles will soften somewhat with the help of nutrition, but when they are caused by expressions, the muscles need to be trained to lay flat again. That is where Frownies Facial Patches will help. You wear the patch at night while you sleep, and the muscles are trained to relax and reverse wrinkles.
Good nutrition and the right skin care will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and keep the skin looking its best.
Here are five good-for-you foods that can improve the look and feel of your skin:
1. Papaya: Sweet, juicy papaya is an excellent source of magnesium, which creates SOD – also known as superoxide dismutase. SOD is a natural enzyme that helps the body protect against free-radical damage by neutralizing excessive super-oxidants.
SOD is a valuable antioxidant that will keep the cells in your body healthy and resistant to damage. This will benefit not only the quality of your skin to keep it youthful, soft and wrinkle free but it will also protect you from disease.
2. Oysters: Oysters are an excellent source of zinc to support wound healing. Zinc also helps trigger collagen production in the skin. Collagen is the substance in our skin that keeps it firm, springy, and soft – just like the skin of a teenager.
Although quite a few anti-aging products advertise to contain collagen, applying collagen to your skin isn’t going to do as much good if you skin is starved to begin with. It’s much more effective to eat foods rich in zinc that will boost collagen from the inside out to smooth fine lines.
3. Swiss Chard: This delicious green will help beautify your skin since it’s chock-full of biotin. Biotin helps keep skin moist and soft to prevent dryness and rashes, and it also supports thick, lustrous hair growth.
4. Brazil Nuts: Brazil nuts are an excellent source of the trace mineral selenium, which is essential for beautiful skin. The majority of us don’t get nearly enough selenium in our diets. But a single Brazil nut will pack a powerful punch with a hefty dose of selenium to neutralize outside free-radical damage that can cause fine lines and wrinkles. Make it your beauty goal to eat one Brazil nut a day for youthful skin.
5. Olive Oil: Olive oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids at roughly 0.2 g per ounce.1 The omega-3 fatty acids in olive oil will calm inflammation in the skin to reduce redness and dryness. This will keep your skin moist and hydrated to prevent wrinkles. Drizzle olive oil on salads, veggies, or grilled fish, but don’t fry with it! Frying with olive oil will damage its omega-3 content and negate any beauty benefits it could offer.
For a delicious, beautifying breakfast or afternoon snack, try a green tea, blueberry, and banana smoothie. Green tea is an antioxidant-rich beverage that prevents heart disease and boosts metabolism. On top of that, the antioxidants in green tea will help neutralize free radicals from sun damage that could cause skin cancer.
Blueberries contain more antioxidants than almost any other food! Bananas are an excellent source of vitamin B6 to promote a healthy immune system and greens are a great source of magnesium to help support and protect your skin from disease and outside damage.
