| Wai 04-25-2003 05:46 AM | quote:wrinkles are caused by: - dehydration - accelerated aging You cannot undo wrinkles, but you can prevent them. you cannot undo them, because they only appear as the end result of accelerated aging (whether caused by agents dehydrating your skin, or by excessive sunlight exposure, for example) Cremes / products that claim to undo wrinkles, simply cause your skin to retain more water, so that "the somwhat empty balloon is filled up again". The downside of their effect is that this ACCELERATES the aging of the skin, so that it eventually worsenes the condition of your skin. You wount notice this initially, because first you just see that the wrinkles become less apparent (because of the extra water retention), but because this also accelerates the aging process, you will need more of the creme more often, and eventually, the wrinkles will have deepened, and you will want to make the next step: plastic surgery The best thing to do, is to prevent wrinkles by preventing dehydration, by reducing the intake of salt and 'dirty' protein and not exposing your skin to aggressive chemicals (such as in skincare products) and excessive sunlight For excisting wrinkles, you need to make sure they don't get worse. To do so, you need to keep these areas fatty all the time. Consider your skin as leather (which is the skin of an animal); to make it last, you need to keep it fatty / oily. if you don't, it will get cracks / wrinkles. |
