Sleep on Your Back
When you sleep in certain positions night
after night, it leads to "sleep lines" -- wrinkles that become etched
into the top layers of skin and don't fade once you're up. Sleeping on your
side leads to wrinkles on cheeks and chin, while sleeping face down gives you a
furrowed brow.

Eat More Salmon
Salmon (along with other cold-water fish) is a
great source of protein, one of the building blocks of great skin. It also has
plenty of omega-3 fatty acids. Experts say essential fatty acids nourish skin
and keep it plump and youthful, and that can help minimize wrinkles.

Don't Squint -- Get Reading Glasses!
Any facial expression that you do over and
over (like squinting) overworks facial muscles and makes grooves beneath the
skin's surface. Eventually those grooves become wrinkles. So keep those eyes
wide: Wear reading glasses if you need them. And get savvy about sunglasses.
They can protect skin around the eyes from sun damage and keep you from
squinting.

Slather On Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
These natural acids lift away the top layer of
dead skin cells. That helps reduce the appearance of pores, fine lines, and
surface wrinkles, especially around the eyes. Stronger forms of AHAs may help
boost collagen production in your skin. That’s a protein that gives your skin
strength and firmness. Using AHAs can make your skin more sensitive to the sun,
so wear sunscreen every day.

Don't Over-Wash Your Face
Tap water strips skin of moisture and natural
oils that protect against wrinkles. If you wash your face too often, you wash
away its protection. Use a soap with moisturizers, or a gel or cream cleanser
instead.

Wear Your Vitamin C
Some studies have found that creams with
vitamin C can boost the amount of collagen your skin makes. Vitamin C, protects
against damage from UVA and UVB rays, and helps reduce redness, dark spots and
uneven skin tone. You have to use a skin product with the right type of
vitamin C, though. L-ascorbic acid may be the best for wrinkle relief. You may
also see a vitamin C ingredient listed as ascorbyl palmitate.

Soy for Skin Care
Soy may improve the appearance of your skin
and protect it, too. Studies suggest soy applied to the skin or taken as
a supplement (not as food) may help protect against or even heal some sun
damage. It can help your skin's structure and firmness, and even out skin tone.

Trade Coffee for Cocoa
Try a tasty wrinkle-reducing
drink. One study shows that cocoa with high levels of two antioxidants
(epicatechin and catechin) protects skin from sun damage, improves blood flow
to skin cells, keeps moisture in, and makes skin look and feel smoother.
