Root Cause of Facial Wrinkles? Homemade Eye Wrinkle Cream Using Lanolin & More Skin Tips

Why have I got wrinkles and I am only 28 years old? I thought wrinkles only creased the face of old fogies. Well apparently not. Wrinkles we connect with ageing but if the skin begins wrinkling before what is considered the normal time then this can be caused by several things. One primary reason for early wrinkles is down to neglect.

Facts show that women upset more over wrinkles around the eyes than any other part of the body. These same women who moan about their dilemma are the reason for why their eyes have fine lines and wrinkles. Not all but the vast majority of ladies with eye wrinkles do not follow the set rules given to keep wrinkles from forming around the eyes. As of yet there is no permanent removal system in order to remove facial creases but you can certainly practice methods to help prevent premature ones happening.

Wrinkles happen due to a loss in the elasticity of the collagen layer. Collagen is a connective tissue layer that supports the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis.) As we grow old we tend to lose some collagen elasticity which supports the overlying skin which results in facial wrinkling.

What can I do to avoid getting wrinkles around my eyes? Depending on age you have to remember that wrinkles are natural and cannot be rid completely but they can be smoothed out or covered over. Let us look at the causes of them whether they are on the face, around the eyes, on the arms or legs, the neck or even your bottom. Finding out the root cause of your wrinkles will prove to be most beneficial for treatment to be successful.

Our environment is full of harmful agents that negatively affect our skin and our overall health in general. Cigarette smoking clearly reduces the micro-circulation to the skin and increases the amount of facial wrinkles. The mouth is mostly affected in the smoker. Over exposure of the skin to the sun or continual use of sun beds also decrease the elasticity of the skin, dehydrates the skin, and encourages wrinkles. Harmful UVA and UVB solar rays drain the skin of moisture and thin the dermal layer of the skin. There are particular things in this life that is bad for our skin and sadly that we have no jurisdiction over. But there are also bad things we do have control over of which we need to avoid.

If you avoid tobacco, sun, and tanning beds then you have taken a step in the right direction in preventing premature wrinkles. If you travel abroad to hot countries then protect your skin. Use a sunscreen with SPF greater than or equal to 15 (sun protection factor.)This helps minimize the sun exposure to toxic solar radiation and lessens the odds of getting a skin disease. Skin cries out for moisturizer when it’s dry, just like you do for water when you’re thirsty. Moisturize the skin daily to keep it hydrated.

Be wary of particular skin treatments. It is imperative that you ask for expert advice on solutions or treatments you are not familiar with. Topical creams can thin the epidermis (outer cell layer of skin) and thicken the dermis (inner cell layer of skin). These agents remove or exfoliate the dead superficial skin layer producing a healthier revitalized skin texture. Treatment like Retin-A or Renova, as well as topical alpha-hydroxy acids better the quality of the skin and reduce fine lines and fine wrinkles.

When treatment begins you need to know what type you have. Are they wrinkles or folds. Deep folds such as the grooves next to the corner of the mouth are increased by sagging of facial tissue. Muscle wrinkles located on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes (crow’s feet) can and do increase by facial expression. Knowing the type of wrinkles you suffer from and maybe their cause will help you in achieving the results you want by using the appropriate wrinkle creams and lotions.

What are the best effective eye treatments? This is difficult to answer because of the choices you have to choose from. Although you have eye treatments that do as suggested, you will also have them that do not. It is best you initiate a test first so that you do not go wasting your money on ineffective products, and also to avoid damaging your skin. Be careful with wrinkle treatments on the market because some beauty suppliers are only too quick to take your money and don’t care whether their product does the job or not. So that you never find yourself in this situation of being ripped off why not consider making your own homemade wrinkle facial treatments.
