1. The Golden Rule

Wear sunscreen, which is one of the top fool-proof ways to beat wrinkles. All day every day, sunscreen is your number one weapon in the fight against wrinkles and other signs of premature aging. Make sure you purchase a sunscreen that boasts broad-spectrum protection, ensuring defense against both UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays are the ones that burn. UVA rays are the ones that wrinkle.

Some dermatologists say that up to 90% of the visible signs of aging are caused by photodamage (also known as the damage caused by the sun). And this damage doesn’t just take place when you hit the beach, the damaging UVA rays cut through clouds on a cloudy day and can even enter into your home through the glass windowpane.

So, always start your day with a great sunscreen and reapply every two to three hours to ensure you’re protected throughout the day.

2. Eat Well

Aside from always ensuring that sunscreen is in your beauty arsenal, you’ll also want to load up on fruits and veggies in order to help beat early frown lines and crows feet.

Studies have found that greens, berries, apples and green tea, in particular, are some of the most effective foods at helping skin to appear younger.

Studies have also found that diets high in sugar and processed foods also lead to skin looking less young and wrinkle-free.

3. Say Hello to Antioxidants

In the same way that antioxidants are good for your body, they are also great for your face. Dermatologists recommend investing in antioxidant-rich serums, that include vitamin E, C and A to help prevent wrinkles.

Antioxidant serums help counteract the stress that your skin undergoes in its daily dealings with pollution, cigarette smoke and harsh weather conditions.

4. Invest in an Acid Toner

Acid toners can sound intimidating if you’ve never heard of them before, but AHA and BHA acids are some of the best skincare ingredients on the block. Both will help shrink your pores, help your skin glow and help your skin look dewy and fresh.

Regular use of an acid toner will help your skin look glowing, clear and wrinkle-free and will help you to look younger for longer and healthy and radiant no matter your age.

Our favourite BHAs and AHAs come from Paula’s Choice, but you can also find a great AHA in Pixi’s Glow Tonic.

These tips will help you in the fight against wrinkles, but don’t stress yourself too much trying to prevent those wrinkles. Beauty isn’t dependent on youth and with age comes greater confidence, a better knowledge of yourself and fine-tuned wisdom.
