As we age, our skin begins to lose elasticity. Therefore, many small wrinkles begin to appear on the face, neck and forehead. In addition, exposure to sunlight, pollution, smoking, and genetic factors are also the causes of these wrinkles.
Here are some ways to help prevent wrinkles on the neck and forehead, shared by famous dermatologist Dr. Nivedita Dadu.
- Limit exposure to sunlight. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
- Always choose skin care products that contain retinol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, as these ingredients help smooth and moisturize the skin.
- Use vitamin C serum for the neck and forehead. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties that are very good for the skin, helping to reduce damage caused by UV rays and other environmental factors by neutralizing free radicals.
- Many people remember to moisturize their faces but easily forget their neck and forehead. Moisturizing your neck helps hydrate your skin, thereby reducing wrinkles.
- Drinking enough water can help slow down the formation of wrinkles. Drink 8 glasses of water a day.
- Avoid stress, practice yoga and activities that help relax the spirit.
- Include healthy foods, including fruits and vegetables, in your diet, and get at least 8 hours of sleep a day.
- Quitting smoking because smoking increases oxidative stress, leading to premature aging. Cigarettes damage collagen and nicotine, which constrict blood vessels, causing the skin to receive less oxygen.
