As discussed earlier, sun exposure stimulates the wrinkles, and initially they appear round the eyes, it’s very necessary to lessen the sun exposure to eyes. Wearing sunglasses can do this well.

Wearing sun glasses is very necessary while going out, but it’s crucial if you’re on beach, or in snow. At these places your facial muscles can’t get relaxed that lead towards wrinkles.

Along with sunglasses, relaxing your facial muscles is also very necessary. So, make it a habit to relax your facial muscles twice or thrice a day. It’s better to cover your face while going out in sunny days, in order to avoid frowning.

Give your face proper treatment, and don’t stretch your skin. Don’t rub your eyes as well, as it stretches the skin. Take good care of your skin while being indoor as well as outdoor and stay away from wrinkles.

Excessive exposure to sun stimulates the wrinkles, as it leads towards sweeping out moisture from your skin. Try avoiding sun exposure as much as possible. Since everyone has to do some outdoor work in one way or other, so avoiding sun exposure is of course not possible. It can, however, be reduced to a possible extent.

Other than reducing sun exposure, use of sunscreen lotions can also help protecting your skin from wrinkles. Using an umbrella in sunny days also helps reducing sun exposure.

Along with the sun exposure, smoking and stress also contribute in development of wrinkles. Smoking and stress lead towards a continuous contraction of facial muscles due to which the activity of surface capillaries lessens and hence wrinkles are formed.

Cosmetic surgery creams basically soften and or lubricate the skin. As explained earlier, the major cause of wrinkles is lack of moisture and oil in skin and excessive dryness, so these creams help providing the temporary moisture to the skin.

he effect of cosmetic surgery creams, however, remains no longer. Creams do provide the moisture, but they actually don’t help skin to retain it for long time, and once you stop using them, the skin gets even worse.

Where the effect of cosmetic surgery and or anti aging creams is superficial and or temporary, plastic or cosmetic surgery may be a fair better option. Besides these, many Plastic surgeons and dermatologists also opt for chemical peeling, or the injection of augmenting material for log term wrinkles solution. But the major drawback of all these treatments is that they all involve risk.

A good diet and use of natural ingredients for skin protection from early ages is however, much better way.
