Do you want to prevent wrinkles in a natural way?

               Wrinkles are a natural part of aging. They are folds on the skin also known as rhytides. Wrinkles mainly appear on the parts of the body that are mostly sun-exposed like the face, neck, back of the hands and tops of the forearms. They may appear as fine, surface lines and deeper furrows. 

COMMON CAUSES OF WRINKLES

1. The aging process causes wrinkles. As you get older, your skin cells divide more slowly and the dermis begins to thin. Aging skin becomes dry and heals slower. All these contribute to the development of wrinkles.

2. Habitual facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, and squinting and other muscle contractions can contribute to the formation of wrinkles.

3. Too much sun to the ultraviolet radiation from the sun damages skin tissues and leads to photoaging or premature aging of the skin. 

4. Based on recent research, smoking reduces the production of new collagen resulting in the development of wrinkles. 

HOW TO PREVENT WRINKLES

1. Wear sunscreen to help delay the signs of aging. A moisturizing sunscreen can benefit your skin health for a long time. 

2. Quit smoking. Smoking and even secondhand smoke affect the condition of the skin. 

3. Take at least 30 milligrams of beta carotene per day to prevent and repair photoaging. 

4. Try to sleep on your back. Compression on your face when you sleep like your face pressing against the pillow in the same way every night can contribute to the formation of wrinkles. 

5. Wash your face regularly and do not leave makeup on your face overnight. 

              There are also facial creams or treatments that can help reduce wrinkles. You can also prevent wrinkles in a natural way using essential oils. Frankincense essential oil is a powerful astringent. It helps protect skin cells. Using frankincense essential oil on the skin can help reduce acne and other blemishes, prevent wrinkles and tighten the skin to slow the signs of aging. 

               Sunflower oil is a carrier oil that is easily absorbed by the skin. It doesn’t clog the pores and can be used on all skin types like dry, normal, oily and acne-prone. Sunflower oil is also rich in antioxidants that can protect the skin from premature aging and wrinkles. 

DIRECTIONS

1. In a small container, mix 6 drops of frankincense and 1-ounce sunflower oil.

2. Apply directly to the skin every night before sleeping.
