What Really Works Best For Wrinkles?

Getting older may be inevitable, but getting wrinkles before silver hair is not. You may find yourself comparing your face with that of other women and wondering: “How can she look so young?” And, just as importantly, “what am I going to do about it?”

Many daily treatments have been hailed as helping to keep the wrinkles away. Everyone you ask seems to think they know the answer, but maybe now really is the time to try something different.

Antioxidants

According to Shape magazine, antioxidant serum is the way to go. It explains that antioxidants are known to be beneficial, but specifically that using serum on your skin provides protection from perils ranging from UV light from the sun to industrial pollution. These cause free radical oxygen particles to form, which can cause skin damage – and ultimately wrinkles.

Dermatologist Kavita Mariwalla told the publication: “That damage manifests as wrinkling, a sallow appearance, and can even lead to hyperpigmentation.”

Of course, antioxidants are not just to be found in substances you can apply directly to your skin; they are in fish, vegetables, fruit and, joy of joys, red wine. So it’s as much about what you eat and drink as anything else.

Ginger

A curious ingredient you might consider is ginger. According to Well+Good, this root helps heal skin damage, boost collagen production and has anti-inflammatory properties.

The publication recommends a number of creams infused with ginger, rather than simply adding this to your diet – although of course the latter will do you plenty of good.

A key move is to make sure that you have something you can rub into your skin so it is absorbed and stays effective all day, rather than something that will wash off.

Winning the battle

It might seem novel to think of ginger or antioxidants as means of keeping your skin in a great condition, but ultimately it is logical; while you can eat and drink these things, direct application gets the benefits to where they are needed most.

That way, you can go a long way towards hindering the development of wrinkles as you get older.
