Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. The older we get, the less our body produces collagen and elastin. This decrease makes our skin sag and become less elastic.

Although the formation of wrinkles has a genetic component, you may actually be accelerating the aging process with bad habits. This means that you can actually do something to prevent face wrinkles and body wrinkles. Here's a list of habits you should change followed by the ingredients you should look for in wrinkle creams.

Stay Young with a Few Lifestyle Changes

Smoking, sunbathing and excessive alcohol consumption are all known to accelerate the aging process. The idea here is to moderate sun exposure and alcohol consumption and to eliminate smoking.

Smoking is probably one of the habits that causes the most amount damage to your skin. Not only does it lead to skin wrinkles (all over your body) it also accentuates eye wrinkles due to the toxins present in cigarette smoke. The facial expressions that smokers make also contribute to the formation of crow's feet.

Another bad habit that is also responsible for skin wrinkles as well as age spots and dry, leathery skin is sunbathing. When going outside make sure to use a sunscreen lotion in addition to protective clothing such as wide brimmed hats and long sleeved tops.

Alcohol should be avoided because it causes severe dehydration and may lead to aged skin. Your skin would benefit greatly if you moderate your intake of alcohol and increase your consumption of pure water. These simple steps will help keep your body and skin hydrated.

If you want to provide your skin with extra protection, use anti-aging or wrinkles cream. This step should begin when you're in your late 20s, early 30s. Keep in mind, it is easier to prevent aging problems than to treat them.

Here's a list of some of the most important ingredients that should be in your anti aging cream. You may find one or more in any given product:

*coenzyme Q-10 *hyaluronic acid *alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) *copper peptides

Coenzyme Q-10 has quickly become a popular addition to anti aging products. It helps promote skin growth and smoothes the skin due to its firming properties.

Hyaluronic acid has been clinically proven to diminish fine lines and wrinkles due to its water holding capacity. It has the ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water.

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are one of the few anti aging ingredients that have proven their effectiveness. This ingredient is added to products because it helps promote exfoliation, stimulate skin repair, increase skin thickness and increase collagen production. Glycolic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, malic acid and citric acid are all AHAs.

Copper peptides have been among one of the recently studied ingredients that have been proven beneficial in the healing process. They can help stimulate collagen production and help skin become firm again.
