Walk into any
drugstore and you’ll be bombarded with legions of creams, lotions and serums
all promising to erase or prevent the most dreaded of skin imperfections:
wrinkles.
While it may seem like we've been told everything we need to know
about avoiding the feared creases (who doesn’t lather on sunscreen every time
they head outside nowadays?), there’s still plenty to learn. We spoke to
dermatologists across the country to find out little-known skin facts that just
might surprise you. Read on to find out what no one ever told you about the
causes, treatment and prevention of wrinkles.
1. Even in your car,
you can still be at risk for developing sun-related wrinkles.
“Your car window can
be a moving target for the sun’s harmful rays,” says Ranella Hirsch, MD, a
dermatologist who practices in Boston. “If you’re spending hours in your
vehicle each day, UVA rays, which cause the majority of wrinkling in the skin,
have ample time to penetrate your window—regardless of whether it’s sunny or
not,” she says. The best way to ensure that you’re protected while you’re on
the road is to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. You might also
consider investing in tinted windows, which can help block UVA rays.
2. If you want to
know where and when you’ll wrinkle, look at your family tree.
“Wrinkles have a
genetic component,” says Los Angeles–based dermatologist Alex A. Khadavi, MD,
creator of Revivogen, Clearogen and Rejuve MD hair and skincare lines. “The
likelihood of developing wrinkles, as well as the onset, degree and depth of
your lines, is influenced by genetics,” he says. “Looking at your parents and
grandparents is one way to predict your own potential for wrinkling and other
signs of aging, including sagging of the skin on your face, neck and chest
area,” he says. “The best way to prevent wrinkling and sagging in these areas
is by minimizing sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen that
contains zinc or titanium dioxide,” he explains.
3. Favoring one side
when you sleep can cause lines to be etched into your face.
As you age, the
connective tissue and collagen in your face isn’t as strong or supportive as it
used to be. So when you sleep on the same side of your face night after night,
the skin gets repeatedly smashed up against the pillow, and won’t smooth out or
spring back as quickly as it did when you were young, says dermatologist, Neil
Sadick, MD, clinical professor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College
in New York City. “The good news is, if you vary your sleeping position, you
can reverse this type of wrinkling.” To prevent the likelihood of these lines
altogether, try getting used to sleeping on your back.
4. Frown lines can
suggest vision problems.
Rather than being an
indicator of age or sun damage, frown lines, which are creases between the
eyes, may actually suggest that you’re overdue for an eye exam. “Some people
overcompensate for eye issues by squinting, which contracts the muscles in the
forehead, between the brows,” says Dr. Hirsch. “Repeatedly doing so over time
may exacerbate the appearance of these creases,” she says. If you address
vision issues early enough, however, you can soften the appearance of fine
lines, since the muscles won’t have to work as hard and will begin to relax,
she says.
5. Brightly colored
foods may help ward off wrinkles.
Fruits and veggies,
such as raspberries, blueberries, red bell peppers and spinach contain
antioxidants which can allow your skin to better defend against environmental
damage so that it can stay supple and radiant longer, says Dr. Hirsch. The
healthier and plumper your skin is, the less apparent fine lines are, since
your skin doesn’t have the opportunity to sag. “As a general rule, whatever
promotes a heart-healthy diet, including foods that are high in vitamins C and
E as well as soy and green tea, is also beneficial to your skin,” she says.
6. Staying hydrated
may help keep the appearance of wrinkles at bay.
Everyone knows they
should aim to sip enough H2O daily to stay hydrated but there’s another reason
you should load up on liquids: Keeping your skin quenched helps it stay soft
and supple, says Dr. Sadick. “When your skin is dry, wrinkles become
accentuated,” he says, since parched skin tends to look flat and dull, which
brings out fine lines and creases. Water also flushes out any toxins the body
collects, which can have a negative impact on your skin.
7. The more
expressive you are, the more wrinkles you may have.
“Regardless of your
age or genetics, often the first wrinkles that appear on your face are those
made by repeated facial expressions,” says Dr. Khadavi. “These include laugh
lines, frown lines, forehead folds and crow's-feet,” he says. “If you tend to
use a lot of facial expressions, like frowning, smiling or lifting up the
forehead muscles in surprise, wrinkles are likely to form and set in those
locations,” he says. The most frequently used treatments that can relieve these
types of static wrinkles are injectable fillers such as Botox, Restylane or
Juvéderm, he says, since these lines have been ingrained into your skin over
years of repeated motions.
8. Encouraging collagen to form can help reduce the appearance of
wrinkles.
Collagen is a
main building block of the skin that keeps it firm and elastic. When you force
cells to turn over, new collagen is produced, creating plumper, more
rejuvenated skin and less wrinkling, says Dr. Sadick. Topical lotions that
include ingredients such as vitamin C, peptides, alpha hydroxy acids and
retinoids help increase cell turnover and stimulate collagen to some extent.
However, according to Dr. Sadick the best way to encourage new collagen growth
is with an in-office radio frequency procedure (though it comes at a cost of
around $750 per session). “It works by heating the skin to cause inflammation; the
body responds by producing collagen.” By Jennifer Tzeses
I’ll like to introduce you to an affordable COLLAGEN chocolate
beverage called COCOLLAGEN – BEAUTY FROM INSIDE OUT
Edmark's Cocollagen is a chocolate flavored beverage
enriched with high grade quality marine collagen that nourishes your skin to
make it firm and lift the signs of aging, thus reviving its naturally healthy

The protein Collagen makes up to 70% of our skin.
It provides elasticity and shape, giving skin its firmness as well as the
ability to retain moisture. As we age, collagen production tends to diminish.
Exposure to UV rays, chlorinated water and harmful free radicals also causes
collagen reduction. When collagen is reduced it leads to skin dehydration and
wrinkles.
Collagen can be derived from protein-rich food
sources like soy, milk, cheese, dark green vegetables, peanuts, fish and red
fruits. However, having a protein-rich diet is not enough. You have to Defy skin aging with
every sip of CoCollagen.
