How WRINKLES Form As We Age:
We will age, that's a fact. But we can prolong this natural process in the body, through diet, lifestyle and environment.
The 3 main processes that happen in our body that cause wrinkles:
-Dehydration in the upper layers of the epidermis;
-Crosslinking of collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis;
-Loss of skin thickness – including muscle shrinkage and fat loss.
What to do to correct/prevent it?!
- Focus on hydration – from the inside out! (p.s.: coffee/caffeine doesn't hydrate, I'm sorry to say, coffee lovers...)
- Add rich sources of collagen such as bone broth, beef, chicken, eggs, fish and shellfish (can't get enough collagen from food? How about adding extra collagen through a supplement? We have so many options of supplements now a days!)
-Movement! Exercise! Keeping your body moving will keep your muscles stronger and healthier.
Remember: what ages your skin is ALSO aging your body internally - liver, pancreas, heart, lungs, bones, muscles, joints...). Our outside is a mirror, reflecting our inside!
