Skin is a wonderful organ. It can reveal the world a lot about how we are feeling. As you age, your skin changes in response to the elements that assail it, particularly the sun. On the inside, you may feel as good as ever, but the toll of years on your skin may send a different message. Like death and taxes wrinkles are for sure. However, hard we try to evade them, they always manage to catch up with us, making us wonder, if age is more than a number! With every birthday we seem to get a wrinkle here and a fine line there. However, the only saving grace is that help is available in abundance. Scores of age defying lotions and wrinkle erasing creams hit the market every other day.

Know That Wrinkle

Sometimes no matter how much of anti-ageing cream you apply, those wrinkles remain. Well, may be it is because is a static wrinkle. As the name suggests, these are deeper wrinkles that have already formed a groove on the skin and are present at rest. Dynamic wrinkles are those, which are present on movement. Dynamic wrinkles are treated by Botox and static wrinkles by hyaluronic acid injections. Tissue fillers too help in erasing wrinkles. Simple, safe, and effective, clear gel tissue fillers work by returning volume to the facial fat and muscles deflated by gravity, sun damage and time.
Wrinkles result from the loss of three skin components: collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin.Today, we can replace two of these components [collagen and hyaluronic acid] that we lose as skin ages. While there are no elastin fillers, some products are being developed that may stimulate elastin.

Anti-ageing creams work well for wrinkles that are just setting in skin and affect only the top layer of the skin.

Self care tips to reduce wrinkles
1. Limit the time you spend in the sun. You should limit yourself from exposing your skin towards the sun. The more you expose your skin to ultra violet (UV) light, the higher are the chances of the ageing of your skin, leading to wrinkles. Avoid sun between 10 AM to 3 PM when sun can be merciless to your skin.
2. Fine-tune your facial expressions. Some people have a tendency to knot their eyebrows, frown, glare, or crease their brow, and they've got the wrinkles to show for it.
3. Avoid smoking. Smoking can bring damage to the outermost layers of your skin. Also, skin will loose its strength and this will lead to sagging and creating of wrinkles of the skin.
4. Use moisturizer. A moisturizer can temporarily improve the appearance of wrinkles by plumping up your skin, but it won't have a long-lasting effect. Moisturizers work by locking in moisture on the surface of the skin. The optimal way to use a moisturizer is to apply it to wet skin and then pat your skin dry.
5. Choose the right product. Anti-wrinkle cream helps to reduce the present wrinkles and delays the appearance of new wrinkles. However, it is advisable to see your dermatologist who will evaluate your skin condition and recommend products accordingly.

Hot Tip—Wear sunscreens, one with SPF 15 through out the year. At higher altitudes wear sunscreen with higher SPF. Wear sunscreen 20 minutes before you go out in sun and reapply every three to four hours.
