You may disagree with me, but hear me out... preventative maintenance is always the easiest and simplest option.

Unfortunately, we humans haven't figured it out yet, and try to take action when it's too late. We are either too busy or too lazy, and usually say I'll do it later, or it can wait until tomorrow. Then we continually curse ourselves, saying - if only!

However, that said - there are simple steps you can take everyday, to give yourself the best chance of avoiding getting fine lines that eventually turn into deep wrinkles.

The first preventative action to take requires no great effort; simply protect your skin from the elements when outdoors. The suns UV-A rays are arguably the number one reason skin cells get damaged and dry out, causing fine lines and eventually wrinkles. Getting badly sunburned when you're young has a big impact on your skin when you're older.

Believe me, I'm speaking from experiencing bad sunburn myself several times when I was a teenager. My skin has never recovered fully, and it never will. So the number one preventative action to take is never get badly sunburned. Always use protective cream, cover up and wear a hat outdoors.

Lying in the sun half the day getting frizzled up to get a tan is ridiculous nowadays. We all know the consequences, particularly if you're fair skinned. If you've ever seen anyone who's had a melanoma cut out of his or her face, you'll realize it's not a good option.

The second most important thing to do is moisturize your skin. Normal day-to-day environmental living activities will cause your skin to dry out; it makes good sense to put moisture and oils back in daily.

Third, do a preventative daily skin care routine; it only takes 5-10 minutes morning and night. Wash and cleanse your skin, tone or use a skin cream containing a toner, then use a good quality moisturizing cream. Surely 5 to 10 minutes out of 24 hours isn't too much to ask!

Taking the above simple actions before you get wrinkles will make a big difference, as you get older.

You may not know it, but your skin consists of several different proteins that start to degenerate and break down even as early as your mid 20's. The main structural two are collagen and elastin, the more they break down the bigger the wrinkles.

There are some great new skin care creams now. However, one top wrinkle cream stands out above the rest because it has new ingredients, that can stimulate your own body to re-grow collagen and elastin protein fibers.

Finally, the best way to prevent wrinkles is to keep out of the sun, and follow these easy, simple preventative maintenance steps every day.
