Wrinkles worry people because they are mainly the symptoms of aging. Normally the skin looses its elasticity as aging persists. There are many types of wrinkles like skin wrinkles, belly wrinkles, mouth wrinkles, lip wrinkles etc. Of all these, skin wrinkles make us feel uncomfortable.

Skin covers all our body and protects us from exposure of sun, invasion of microorganisms. Certain elastin fibers and a protein called collagen keep our skin free from wrinkles.

We have to take care of our skin while we are young. There are certain home remedies to prevent wrinkles because prevention is better than cure.

To prevent wrinkles, first we have to know the skin type of ours. Usually there are four types of skin. They are dry skin, normal skin, combinational skin and oily skin. How can we know our skin type? Early morning after you wake up, wipe your face with a tissue paper. If your skin type is oily you find oil on that paper. If your skin is normal it is normal, if your skin is combinational type, you can find oil only in the center and if your skin is dry type you can find flaky patches. The most problematic ones are oily and dry skins. Oily skin causes acne and blackheads whereas dry skin causes wrinkles because of lack/less of moisture.

3. Eat vitamin C enriched food like oranges, grapes etc. which produces collagen in our skin.

4. Protein rich pulses help skin to glaze.

5. Water is the most important one which prevents us from many harmful effects. So one must take at least 2 3 liters of water every day.

Healthy habits:

1. Avoid excess intake of alcohol because it stimulates the wrinkle formation. Alcohol retains water in the body which makes the face swollen that temporarily stretches the skin. Subsequent shrinking of the face results in wrinkles.

2. Smoking causes wrinkles around the mouth. Smoking decreases blood circulation to facial skin which results in premature lines and wrinkles. So avoid smoking.
