Want to Look 10 Years Younger? Follow These 3 Simple Steps

By Evelyn Louise

Let's face it--we all want to learn how to get rid of wrinkles and look 10 years younger. We enjoy the psychological benefits of growing older--more wisdom, more accumulated life experience--but we can certainly do without the gradual deterioration in our body, and our skin.

The wrinkles you see spreading across your face are due to a decrease in collagen, an essential skin protein that serves as the "glue" that connects other bodily tissues. Collagen works in tandem with elastin, another protein, which, gives your skin its elasticity. As we age, the amount of these proteins present in our body decreases, resulting in the fine lines and baggy skin that we wish to eliminate.

Do you want to start eliminating fine lines and wrinkles, and start looking 10 years younger? All you have to do is put into practice these three easy rules.

1) Apply an anti-aging gel that increases your body's supply of collagen.

That's right, you don't need collagen injections. A good wrinkle removal face cream can help your body grow new collagen cells.

As part of my daily regimen, I use a natural anti-aging cream that's been scientifically proven to increase skin elasticity by almost 50% in less than 21 days. It's made a dramatic difference in my appearance.

2) Reduce sun exposure.

Spending too much time outdoors in harsh sunlight damages and ages skin. The most potent wrinkle removal treatment in the world can't prevent the harmful effects of excessive UV radiation.

If you really want to reverse the signs of aging, start cutting back the time you spend outdoors in the sun, particularly when the sun is at its most intense. Other tips: use a good sunscreen, wear a hat, and be sure to stay in well-shaded areas.

3) Your anti-wrinkle skin care system should use antioxidants.

Free radicals ravage skin, sapping it of vitality, firmness, and elasticity. Antioxidants protect your skin against these harmful substances.

To get rid of wrinkles and look 10 years younger, you'll want to use a skin care cream with a high percentage of potent antioxidants. Even better is a natural skin cream like the one I use, which actually stimulates the body's own antioxidant activity, for a powerful, double whammy effect.

Your next step? To put these tips into practice today. Your complexion will look younger and smoother than ever. - 16755
