Are you bothered by the appearance of wrinkles on your face?  Do you find that your “laughter lines” are becoming a little too visible, and that even your hands are taking on a more creased look?  So before you start booking yourself in for botox, consider it could be simply a matter of hydration.

The body needs a good amount of water each day in order to keep its organs running healthily.  What many people don’t realize is that the skin is actually the body’s largest organ.  This means that it also needs water.  When you work in an area that’s air conditioned, where the air quality isn’t good, or where you subject your skin to a lot of sunshine, then you are dehydrating your skin and this encourages wrinkles to appear. 

One of the most simple things you can to in order to counteract the effect that your environment has on your skin is to use a hydrating cream.  There’s a huge range to choose from and they vary in price from budget drugstore own brands up to designer creations costing a fortune.  What you pay for your cream doesn’t matter as much as how regularly you use it.   Ensure that you use the cream in the morning before you start your day, and then at night before you go to bed.  Using it as a moisturizer beneath your make-up is ideal.  You should also stop using any toner that has is of an astringent nature – this will dry out your skin and stop the moisturizer working as well as it would otherwise.

Even if your cream states that it’s a face cream, if you have a problem of wrinkles on your hands, try rubbing the cream into your hands every night for a week and see if there’s  a difference.  You should also stop using any soap products that contain astringents as they will work against the effects of the cream! 

Remember that water is your body’s friend and that your skin gets just as thirsty for it as your throat.  Using a specially formulated hydration cream can stop that happening and keep the wrinkles at bay that little bit longer!
