At Home Age Spot and Wrinkle Remedies

The United States currently has more "Baby Boomers" (those born between [and including] 1946 and 1964) than ever before because of the "explosion" of births after American soldiers returned home from World War II. When we think of the baby boomer generation, we often think of the 1960s. Specifically, women born between these "boomer" years want to look as good as they can and they want to celebrate the vitality and the self-confidence that their experience has given them. Growing old gracefully and retaining our youthful appearance with as few wrinkles as possible is something that most women in the "Baby Boomer" years strive to accomplish.

Prevent Wrinkles

Obviously, preventing wrinkles is the first step in not having them. Do you remember running around as a child, in the hot summer sun, without sunscreen? Or how about those baseball and football games, or trips to the lake? Not taking care of our skin when we were younger makes it a little bit harder to reverse the signs of again, but it can be done! If nothing else, you should wear sunscreen, even if you are just driving around in the car. Make sure it has an SPF 8 or higher.

Your first and best defense against wrinkles is to stay well hydrated. Being hydrated keeps the skin smooth and plump. Between six and eight glasses of water each day is the recommendation. That may sound like a whole lot of water; however, in all actuality it really is not that much water at all. Once you get used to drinking enough water, you'll be surprised at how good you feel and how good your skin looks! To prevent wrinkles, you should also have a well balanced diet. If your body is getting the proper nutrients, then you will have healthy skin that starts from the inside and shows up on the outside. Foods rich in anti-oxidants and high in vitamins A, C and E are good for the skins appearance. Taking a good multi-vitamin can also be a way to help the skin.

I cannot say this enough.... Use a good moisturizer! Using a good moisturizer will help the skin retain its elasticity, which reduces the amount of wrinkles. Your skin will be soft and smooth, and you'll appear younger! A lot of moisturizers on the market today contain mineral oil. Mineral oil is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that it's a filler... and it sits on the top layer of the skin and just makes you "look" hydrated. If you want to really hydrate your skin, you need a good mositurizer (without mineral oil or waxes) that has some beneficial ingredients that go deep into the skin's layers and promotes the generation of newer, healthier cells. You should also exercies on a regular basis. Even if it's just walking for 30 minutes a day. Exercise makes you feel better, burn fat, and helps to release toxins that have built up in your body.

Avoid the sun! If you must be outside (and who wants to stay inside all the time...) please wear a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. Even in the middle of the winter-- wear sunscreen. The sun is "up there" all year (unless you live in Alaska)! A good tip is to use a moisturizer with sunscreen included in the formulation. I know it's hard to do, but you must also quit smoking and limit your alcohol. These all have the power to rob your skin of its elasticity and youthfulness. You can also choose to wear protective clothing to avoid the sun and prevent wrinkles.

Age Spot Home Remedies

These oils also contain anti-oxidants that help the skin to retain its elasticity.

Over the counter skin treatments

Are you wanting to treat wrinkles at home instead of going to a "spa" or dermatologist? Many products that are "over-the-counter" can be purchased and used to treat wrinkles in the comfort of your own home. Dermatologists recommended that products contain vitamins C & E as well as have anti-oxidants in them. Products that also contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) help to remove the dead layers of skin to produce a younger appearance in the skin.

Retinol is a form of Vitamin A, and can be used to reduce acne as well as increasing the cell turnover rate of your skin. The faster your cells regenerate... the more youthful you will appear. Your fine lines and wrinkles on your face will be diminished. Retinol and Alpha Hydroxy Acides (AHA) are found in many night creams for the face. Use a natural skin lightener for those dark under-eye circles. Kojic Acid is also a good ingredient, because it's a natural lightener and works wonders on dark under-eye circles.

You have many options for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. You don't have to spend a fortune, either!
