Anyway, today's post is a bit different. For those who have me on their Twitter and Facebook, do you remember that I mentioned about a skin care company requested to write a guest post on my blog ? Well here it is! The guest post is written by Sk:n Clinic giving tips on how to delay the appearances of wrinkles. I feel so honored that they chose my blog when there are so many other beauty blogs that are much better than mine. Maybe because I previously blogged about one of their products (Click here to read that review I previously wrote). Anyway, enjoy the article!

Tips To Slow
Down The Onset Of Wrinkles
The ageing process is inevitable. We are all going
to get older and unless we have the resources to have cosmetic surgery
performed on a regular basis, we are all going to see those age-related nasty
little fellows known as wrinkles.
Wrinkles tell stories. They tell us what our face,
neck and hands have been doing over the years, whether the diet has been
deficient, whether sunscreen has been used and whether the owner of the
wrinkles has been a smoker. Wrinkles, unfortunately, do not lie. But it is
possible slow down the onset of wrinkles by making lifestyle changes that will
stop potential wrinkles in their tracks, without resorting to seeing
a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon just yet.
Eat a Healthy
Diet
A diet rich in vitamins and proteins is essential
for smooth skin. Incorporate vitamin C rich foods into the diet, like oranges,
blueberries and sweet potatoes. Oily fish like mackerel contains Essential
Fatty Acids which help keep the skin plumped up, and nuts and seeds like
walnuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds all possess skin boosting
properties. Keep sugar intake to a minimum, drink plenty of pure fresh water
and the skin will be well nourished from within.
Don’t Smoke!
Smoking has a hugely negative impact on the skin. It
reduces oxygen supply to the facial skin leading to wrinkles forming and the
act of puffing on the end of a cigarette creates vertical lines around the
mouth.
Use Sunscreen
Even on dull days, harmful UV rays can damage the
skin so wear a sunscreen of at least SPF30 during daylight hours and reapply
every 2-3 hours if outdoors for long periods. Wearing sunglasses will protect
both the eyes and the delicate skin around the eyes and will stop lines
appearing from squinting from the sun’s rays.
Exercise
Exercising regularly gives skin a healthy glow and
also helps beat stress, which can contribute to the formation of wrinkles. Just
exercising for 30 minutes a day, four or five times a week, will prove
beneficial to the health of skin.
Keep Skin Care
Simple
Many of us are guilty of buying the latest
anti-ageing cream with its promises of youthful skin and wrinkle reduction. If
it doesn’t produce instant miracles, it ends up in the bathroom cabinet along
with other half-used rejected creams. The truth of skincare is that a simple
cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen will be just as effective as those pots of
promises and will cost considerably less. Exfoliate once a week to get rid of a
build up of dead skin and debris and treat the skin gently. Use a heavier
moisturiser in winter when cold weather and central heating add extra stress to
facial skin and always go to bed with clean, moisturised skin. Getting at least
7 hours of good restful sleep will do more for skin than any expensive cream.
