How to Reduce Wrinkles…the easy way.

Aging is inevitable. Unless scientists eventually develop a time machine, there’s no way around it. But just because you’re getting older doesn’t mean you have to look the part. With the right men’s anti-aging products, you can slow down the appearance of men’s wrinkles and keep your skin looking great for years to come.

What exactly are wrinkles?

Wrinkles are lines or creases that develop on your skin as it loses its collagen and elasticity. Many factors affect your skin’s elasticity – lifestyle and sun exposure, for example – but the most common culprit is aging. As you get older, your skin doesn’t produce as much elastin and collagen, which are proteins that keep your skin plump and taut. Because of this decrease in production, your skin no longer stretches as well and starts to sag, resulting in wrinkles.

How to Reduce the Appearance of Men’s Wrinkles

Here are some simple anti-aging tips to help encourage collagen and elastin production and reduce the appearance of wrinkles on your skin.

1. Use an anti-wrinkle cream with stem cells. Research has shown that stem cells are one of the most effective ingredients in the fight against aging signs. Regular use of a men’s anti-wrinkle cream with stem cells may help prevent wrinkles and minimize existing ones. At 360 Skin we carry the amazing Ageless Max Creme by Image that works wonders at plumping and helping reverse the signs of aging.

2. Don’t smoke. We all know that smoking is terrible for your health, but it’s particularly bad for your skin. Smoking releases enzymes that hinder collagen and elastin production and contribute to premature wrinkles. Cut down or – better yet – quit altogether. You’ll do your skin and body a favor by putting a stop to this bad habit.

3. Protect your skin from the sun. Like we mentioned earlier, sun exposure is a leading cause of premature wrinkles. If you live in a hot climate or spend a lot of time outside, apply an SPF 30 sunblock before heading out…every…single…day. A broad spectrum sunblock such as Images’ Daily Defense blocks UVA/UVB rays that can age skin – not to mention, give you sunburn. It also has a moisturizer in it, so…two birds, one stone.

4. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are packed with antioxidants that help fight free radical damage, which can accelerate the appearance of wrinkles and other aging signs. Citrus, in particular, is packed with vitamins that support optimal skin health. You can also get antioxidants from other sources, such as blueberries, apples, plums, and men’s nutritional supplements.

5. Sleep on your back. Sleeping on your sides or face down crumples your face against the pillow, which creates sleep lines on the skin. These superficial lines can eventually becoming permanent wrinkles so you should always try to sleep on your back to prevent their formation.

6. Use a men’s face scrub. A men’s face scrub exfoliates skin, getting rid of dead skin cells and encouraging the growth of new ones. A face scrub for men also helps smooth fine lines to minimize their overall appearance. No need to use a men’s face scrub every day – just twice or three times a week is enough.
