Natural Treatments for Wrinkles
Age brings about a lot of changes to one’s body. Thankfully, a good exercise routine can protect both bone and muscle from the worst of those changes. But protecting one’s skin from the aging process requires a more careful and targeted approach. This is often due to the fact that something like crows feet and aging spots arise from totally different sources. But natural treatments can help prevent or even treat aging skin: 1. Wear sunscreen Sunlight is one of the most common sources of skin damage. Sunlight consists of UV rays that can hurt skin cells in a number of ways. In particular it breaks down the connective tissue found in collagen and elastin. These are some of the structures which provide a base or foundation for one’s skin. When UV rays break down this support it can cause wrinkles. Wearing sunscreen can help stop this damage. 2. Limit sugar intake Sugar creates something within the body which is appropriately known as AGEs. AGEs stands for advanced glycation end products. As one burns sugar for energy it creates AGEs. And as AGEs develop they begin to attack the most vulnerable adjacent proteins. In the skin, this means that one will suffer damage in collagen and elastin.
