Our skin is very delicate and needs special care. Wrinkles are caused because of number of reasons; the most dangerous is sun exposure. Sun exposure damages skin inside and out. First, it attacks the outermost tier of skin, forming a layer of dead cells that give skin a leathery appearance. Then it progressively damages the upper layers of the skin, leaving them thinner, less elastic and more susceptible to wrinkling. Thus by protecting yourself from the sun, shunning cigarettes and eating right, you can prevent many new wrinkles from occurring.

To delay the formation of wrinkles you should become aware of staying out of the sun as much as possible. If you must be in the sun, always use a sunscreen. Avoid frowning and habitually smooth out your wrinkled forehead. Avoid formation of crow's foot, which are wrinkles in the corners of your eyes, by becoming aware of times when you are squinting. Try to keep your hands away from your face since rubbing your eyes or sitting with your chin on your hand tends to push the face out of its natural position and stretches delicate skin. Spend 15 minutes each morning and evening exercising the muscles in your face. Be aware that constant weight gain or loss can cause the skin to droop, as can improper dental hygiene. When putting on creams or make up always lightly stroke it upward onto your neck and face.

Do you know vitamin c plays an important part in keeping the complexion smooth? Vitamin C is essential for connective tissue in the body. Hence people who eat adequate diets of Vitamin C look younger than people who don't, and of course, Vitamin E, another free radical fighting antioxidant, can also prevent skin damage from sun exposure when used topically, say researchers. Vitamin E oil, applied up to eight hours after sun exposure, can prevent inflammation and skin damage. For additional sun damage protection, taking vitamin E supplements will be useful. Vitamin E rich foods include wheat germ, spinach and sunflower seeds, also found in: Shampoos, toothpastes, and lotions.

Here are some multi vitamin and mineral supplements in your diet that helps you reducing wrinkle and ageing.

Garlic: garlic can help your body stay young by fighting heart disease and cancer, it may also prolong the life span of normal skin cells and help them maintain their youthful shape, according to preliminary laboratory studies.

Protein: protein is also very essential to keep your skin looking young and youthful. Great source of protein is fish and chicken.

Stick to low fat diet: medical research has shown that dietary fat is a primo generator of free radicals, the naturally occurring unstable molecules that damage your body's healthy molecules by stealing their electrons and, in the process, contribute to aging and wrinkle.
Avoid alcohol and smoking: Go easy on the spirits. Making too much merry can make your skin suffer a lot. Alcohol dehydrates you also avoid smoking as it has been linked to premature wrinkles since it lessens circulation to surface capillaries.

Drink lots of water: You should drink eight glasses of water a day. However the more water you drink is better for your skin.

Balanced diet: Eat a balanced diet with lots of nutritional food. Proper balanced diet is the key to a healthy and beautiful skin.
