Wrinkles are a natural ageing process. There are several ways you could overcome your wrinkles or prevent further ones as you have them mainly due to weight loss and not ageing. If you have lost your weight too fast, then the volume of fat cells that served as a cushion for your face decreases.
A chemical reaction then takes place, making your skin look saggy.
Before using various cosmetic methods, you should try applying natural remedies for your wrinkles. First and foremost, do not rub your face while washing as this could wash away the required skin oil.
Use normal water or cold instead of warm water. Clean your face every night before going to bed and gently massage some coconut oil onto the affected area. Massaging your face in an upward direction with a good face cream would also help to get the firmness back into the skin. A good rapid massage in a circular motion increases the blood circulation and results in the tightening of the tissues and muscles. Fruit juices also help a lot in reducing wrinkles. Fresh papaya juice removes rough and dead skin, whereas pineapple and apple juices help in diminishing wrinkles and fine lines. Applying lemon juice several times a day would also help to reduce wrinkles. If your wrinkles are fine then rub the core of a pineapple on the face for a few minutes and leave it for a while. You should also apply some egg yolk once a week for ten minutes as this will provide your skin with nutrients that keep the skin well-nourished. Regular facial treatment is also very essential to control wrinkles. You should have a balanced diet that includes a lot of fruits and vegetables. You also need to drink lots of water, as it would keep your skin hydrated and help moisturize it from within. Always try and protect your skin from the sun as the rays could further aggravate your wrinkles. A good sunscreen, hat or sunglasses would protect you in the sun. Strictly avoid alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine. These make your skin dry as well as help in developing further wrinkles. You should also do some mouth exercises everyday, as your wrinkles are mainly around the jaw area. Try and pull an elongated E and O shape with your mouth for about thirty seconds each. Also, purse your lips to the left, right and centre of your face. Hold each of these movements for about five seconds. Doing these exercises on a regular basis would help tighten your facial muscles.
