Delicate, under-eye skin is prone to sun damage and wrinkling.
Permanent removal of wrinkles through cosmetic surgery is expensive; however, you can significantly improve the appearance of your skin by simply adopting a healthy diet and a facial exercise regime. In addition, you should avoid risk factors such as sun damage and smoking. Application of topical moisturizing and sun protection creams will plump out the skin and protect it from further environmental damage, while treatments such as collagen fillers provide a budget-friendly option for wrinkle reduction or temporary removal.
Anti-Wrinkle Diet
Dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone, author of "The Perricone Prescription," recommends a diet that is rich in lean protein, such as chicken breast, Omega-3 fatty acids from sources such as wild or organic salmon, and fresh fruit and vegetables to boost cell repair and skin rejuvenation. You should drink between eight to 10 glasses of water each day to eliminate toxins, hydrate your body and plump out skin cells. Perricone also recommends eliminating coffee from your diet because it raises levels of the hormones cortisol and insulin, which accelerate the aging process. Avoid foods that contain refined white sugar as sugar molecules attach themselves to skin collagen and may increase wrinkle production.
Facial Exercises
Facial exercises help to improve facial muscle tone and achieve a more youthful look. Beauty therapist Carole Maggio, author of "The Ultimate Facercise," advocates an eight-minute program of facial exercises that you should complete twice a day. To smooth vertical lines between your brows, spread your fingers across your forehead and pull toward your eyebrows as you push your eyebrows upward. To plump out lines around your mouth, keep your upper lip pressed against your teeth and make an "O" shape with your mouth. Place your index fingers at the corners of your mouth and then move them slowly up to the corners of your nose and down again. Repeat a few times until you experience a feeling of warmth in the area and then pulse your fingers quickly up and down for 30 seconds.
Anti-Wrinkle Creams
Moisturizing creams help to temporarily plump out fine lines and creases. Face creams that contain the vitamin-A derivative retinol may help to improve the appearance of wrinkly skin by neutralizing the effects of free radicals, unstable oxygen compounds that cause skin aging. Creams that contain hydroxy acids exfoliate dead skin cells that can make your skin look dull and help to stimulate growth of new skin. You should wear a broad spectrum sunblock that protects against both UVA and UVB rays whenever your skin is exposed to the sun.
Collagen fillers
Collagen fillers are a minimally invasive and relatively economical option for removal of crow's feet and wrinkles around the nose, mouth and forehead. Collagen fillers instantly remove wrinkles by renewing lost volume on the face and stimulating the skin's production of new collagen. The effects of collagen fillers last for about a year.
