Stopping That Wrinkle in Time

What do most women (and quite a few men) dread seeing the most as they age? You guessed it - wrinkles. Wrinkles are creases or ridges that form in the skin. The good news is that most wrinkles are caused by things that we can do something about.

It is estimated that 90% of the visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles are caused by environmental factors. The biggest culprit is the sun. Doctors and dermatologists have been saying for years that exposure to the sun causes skin damage. That means more wrinkles.

Smoking is another cause of major wrinkles, especially around the mouth area. Most wrinkles come from repetitive movements over time. Puffing on a cigarette is definitely a repetitive movement.

Poor hydration also can cause wrinkling of the skin, in addition to a host of other problems. It is important to not only get enough water internally by drinking it throughout the day, but also to keep your skin hydrated using quality moisturizers.

But even if you do everything right - stay out of the sun, drink enough water, don't smoke and use a moisturizer, there is a good chance you will still end up with some wrinkles. Why? Because 10% of the visible signs of aging comes from just that - aging. Our heredity and genetic make-up plus the passage of time contribute to some wrinkling.

Wrinkles may start to appear as early as our 20's especially around the eyes and lips, although most people won't notice them. Elastin and collagen begin to decline in our 30's. In fact, Collagen and elastin decrease 65% between the ages of 28-80. Since these two compounds are needed for strength and elasticity, we may begin to notice a few wrinkles.

Most people actually notice that they have wrinkles in their 40's. The elasticity of our skin is diminished and our skin loses memory (not just in our heads). The repetitive movements over 40 years of smiling, frowning, thinking (remember the furrowed brow?) are now permanent. Once you have a wrinkle, it's there for life.

By our 50's the decrease in collagen and elastin coupled with gravity cause our skin and muscles to sag. Wrinkles may appear deeper and more pronounced. There is good news for those with dark skin. It seems like less visible aging takes place on darker skin.

So what can we do? The best defense is a good offense. Stay out of the sun unless you are wearing an SPF15 or higher. Stop smoking. Make sure your skin is hydrated. Use skin care products with anti-aging properties and ingredients.

Some people opt for plastic surgery or Botox injections, but these options are expensive and may not yield the results you are looking for. Once it's done - it's done. I'd rather mask the wrinkles that I have with anti-aging cosmetics and use anti-aging skin care to keep from getting any more.

Mark Twain said, "Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been." Protecting your skin to prevent wrinkles is the best option. And that's something to smile about.

How To Get Bigger Breasts Naturally

Many women ask the question "How can I enhance my breasts" They at this stage in their lives are just not satisfied with the size and shape they currently have. Sometimes it is not about getting bigger breasts it can also be about improving the shape, hence making them fuller.

Some women who are older seek to improve their breast to look younger. There have been many developments in surgical procedures for breast enhancement. In actual fact breast enlargement has the highest demand in plastic surgery procedures.

While this procedure could be deemed to be quick and easy it is also necessary to note that it can be expensive. There are also dangers involved. It is rare but some women have died due to unforeseen complications during surgery.

As more and more women are opting for plastic surgery there are also an increasing number of women who are looking for natural ways to improve the size and shape of their breasts.

There are many natural options that are far less expensive. However are they as effective? While it is always safer to go natural that does not take away from the fact that you want to achieve your objective.

The fact is that there are natural herbal breast enlargement products that have worked for many women. These have been proven by clinical trials. One thing you always want to make sure of is this - if it does not work you get your money back.

Preferably always speak to a human being when ordering these items - this way you can ask direct questions and at least know that there are real people involved.

So don't just order supplements online from anywhere without knowing that real people exist. This way you can be guaranteed you receive service.

The worst case scenario for some women has been that after surgery they did not get what they wanted and I am afraid at that point you cannot get your money back. Surgery is also invasive and to me I feel it should always be the last resort.
