Tanning is not healthy. Yes, a glow is pretty but is it worth the long term risks of wrinkles and possibly even skin cancer? I think not. One of the best ways to prevent wrinkles is to give up the dream of a bronze tan. Some methods of tanning such as self-tanner and spray tanning are acceptable but tanning in true sunlight or tanning beds is in no way safe or good for you if preventing wrinkles is a goal.

If you do not want to tango with wrinkles, become friends with sunscreen. Sunscreen will help you to prevent wrinkles because it prevents the sun from penetrating your skin, at least to an extent. Most of us know to wear sunscreen when we go to the beach or are out in the sun for an extended amount of time. But the truth is that you need to wear sunscreen on a daily basis, even if the only exposure you will be getting is your walk to the car in the mornings and evenings. Be especially vigilant to use sunscreen on highly exposed areas such as your face and hands.

Water is so important to our bodies in so many ways. Our body needs it and it makes up our body, in part. Drinking enough water helps to keep your body well hydrated. It is also healthy, and eating and drinking healthy always shows in our body and our skin. Make it a goal to get your daily eight, at least.

Enjoying life is something that can help to prevent wrinkles that is actually fun to do. The fact is that stress ages you. The lifestyle you live and the stress you endure will show in your skin as well as everywhere else in your body. While you can’t live a completely stress free life, you can try to have a more relaxed attitude and try not to let the little things get you down. On top of helping prevent wrinkles, it will help you to just be a happier person.
