- 1. Start using a retinoid tailored to your skin’s needs...the non-prescription version, called Retinol, can be found over-the-counter. These products promote new collagen and elastin production since they are made of vitamin A derivatives.
- 2. Don’t just wear sunscreen in the summer…A new study finds that regular sunscreen use protects against photoaging: the wrinkling, spotting and loss of elasticity caused by exposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation.

Make sure your diet includes antioxidants...Incorporating brightly-colored fruits and veggies like blueberries, spinach, broccoli, etc in your daily diet will greatly help mitigate wrinkles in the long-run. These foods and fruits are colored the way they are for a reason. These produce items are protecting themselves from the sun as well. If you need some caffeine to keep you going and you’re not feeling coffee, Black Tea and Green Tea are also high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties
- 5. Another reason to quit smoking... If you are really concerned about wrinkles on your skin, smoking is one of the worst things you could be doing. In just a matter of weeks, the positive change of quitting smoking would become apparent. Your natural blood flow will return to your skin, and your body will have more ability to heal from the damage that has already been done.
- 6. Are you getting enough sleep?...During sleep, your skin's blood flow increases, and the organ rebuilds its collagen and repairs damage from UV exposure, reducing wrinkles and age spots

- 9. Minimize wrinkle-inducing facial movements…Wrinkles form in the skin due to repetitive muscle contraction underneath the skin. Though the concept may not be backed by many studies and has its opponents, there are those who suggest making facial exercises a part of one’s routine would assist in minimizing lines and wrinkles. One of these exercises To strengthen those upward facial muscles—which can basically give you a facelift—is to do a facial movement where you look like you’re going to laugh or smile, but don’t actually do it. That raises your eyebrows slightly and even impacts the muscles around your ears, strengthening them and pulling the skin over them back, Day says. As a result, you strengthen the muscles that pull your face up and weaken the ones that pull it down, which can visibly age you (https://www.self.com/story/wrinkles-facial-exercises).
