Injection cosmetology helps to get rid of them. But, in order not to inject yourself or at least delay this moment, you can try to do something yourself.

Aging Habits

Tobacco and alcohol dehydrate the skin, the toxins they contain cause spasms small vessels and disrupt cellular respiration and nutrition of the skin, which deteriorates its regenerative abilities and slows down cell division. Nicotine also triggers the processes of activating an enzyme that destroys collagen, from which the skin is built, causing it to become flabby and wrinkled. Therefore, giving up bad excesses is what needs to be done in the name of beauty and youth first and foremost.

Another reason - incorrect position heads while sleeping. For example, if you put your head only on bottom part pillows, then in her sleep she will rest her chin on her chest. And wrinkles will appear on your neck ahead of schedule. If you sleep on your side, and especially on your stomach, the skin on your face, neck and décolleté will be pressed into folds. There is only one way out - get used to sleeping on your back, placing your head in the center of a pillow (preferably an orthopedic one or at least not too high).

Insufficient sleep (less than 8 hours per day), lack of regular physical activity (at least 1 hour 2-3 times a week) and lack of fresh air, as well as an ardent love for tanning at the most inopportune times (from 11 to 16 hours), when you can’t be in the active sun under any circumstances - all this also ages the skin very much and leads to the formation of premature wrinkles.

In addition, it has been noticed that people become desperate with a sweet tooth if they:

suffer nervous diseases;
lead a sedentary lifestyle;
eat poorly and are deficient in chromium.

Instead of unhealthy fat, increase the content of polyunsaturated fats that are beneficial for the skin and blood vessels ( vegetable oils, nuts, sea fish). Reduce simple carbohydrates(bread and potatoes), eat more protein foods (meat and fish) and unsweetened vegetables (especially Green colour). And be sure to drink plenty of water (not coffee and soda).

Stop, happiness!

Stress, chronic headaches and others contribute to early wrinkles pain syndromes. How to avoid them? Just driving healthy image life and maintaining a positive mindset. Play sports, but not occasionally, but regularly. Ideally, yoga, which brings balance to both the physics and the psyche.

Spend more time outdoors. Be friends with nice people. Make love more often! Do not be stingy with kindness towards others. Make your dreams come true without putting them off for later. Get animals - they bring a lot of positive things into life. Spend more time with your children, play with them, tinker with them, enjoy communication. In general, live life to the fullest and rejoice! And youth will not leave you!

B vitamins (don’t forget about cereals, liver, meat, eggs, seafood, tomatoes and cheese);
magnesium (so eat broccoli, legumes, almonds).
