Want to Look 10 Years Younger? Follow These 3 Simple Steps

By Evelyn Louise

If you're like me, you probably want to erase wrinkles and look younger. Although growing older gives us more life experience and wisdom, we don't necessarily want to look older, too. Is there a way to restore our youthful appearance?

Wrinkles are caused, primarily, by the depletion of collagen, a key connective protein that "glues" together many of our other bodily tissues. In combination with another protein called elastin, collagen makes our skin elastic, firm, and smooth. When we get older, both of these proteins grow scarce in our bodies, leading to the fine lines, dark circles, and sags and bags that we associate with old age.

Do you want to start eliminating fine lines and wrinkles, and start looking 10 years younger? All you have to do is put into practice these three easy rules.

1) Each day, use a wrinkle removal face cream that stimulates collagen growth.

That's right, you don't need collagen injections. A good wrinkle removal face cream can help your body grow new collagen cells.

I personally use a natural skin care cream that's been clinically proven to improve skin elasticity by 42% in only 18 days. To say it's worked wonders for me is an understatement.

2) Limit the time you spend in sunlight.

UV radiation is a major reason for prematurely aged skin. It speeds the spreading of wrinkles and brown spots. No anti-aging cream can compete with the damage that excessive sun exposure causes.

If you really want to reverse the signs of aging, start cutting back the time you spend outdoors in the sun, particularly when the sun is at its most intense. Other tips: use a good sunscreen, wear a hat, and be sure to stay in well-shaded areas.

3) Your anti-wrinkle skin care system should use antioxidants.

Free radicals deteriorate skin and accelerate the appearance of aging. A healthy dose of antioxidants can neutralize these free radicals, resulting in a more youthful, smoother complexion.

To erase wrinkles, use a skin care treatment with a high amount of antioxidants. Something even more powerful is an anti-aging cream like mine, which increases the body's own antioxidant properties, for extra protection against free radicals.

Now that you're armed with this information, what's the next step? Start utilizing this advice immediately. You'll look 10 years younger and feel better than ever, I guarantee it. - 15438
