All people grow old and with the process of aging come all forms of physical signs, the most apparent of which are body wrinkles. It is impossible to permanently evade the wrinkle phenomenon but there are a lot of things that you can do to keep it from happening sooner than it needs to.

Your most effective defense against body wrinkles is using the appropriate prevention methods. You know that old adage -- prevention is better than cure. It goes for body wrinkles. It's better to prevent them from showing up to begin with than to work on working to clean up the damage that's already been done.

Wrinkles begin to show up when the skin loses its elasticity and suppleness as a result of lower production of elastin and collagen in the body. Elastin and collagen are two natural proteins our bodies produce that are responsible for keeping our skin elastic, soft, and free of wrinkles. Once their production slows down, body wrinkles begin to appear together with many other symptoms of aging, like dark spots, uneven skin tone, and loose skin. It's impossible to prevent collagen and elastin production from slowing down because this is a natural part of growing old. All you can truly do is do things that can help to replace the collagen and elastin your body cannot create anymore.

Lots of people turn to collagen creams and put on these creams on their body. This method is believed to work extremely well, firming up the skin and managing the appearance of more wrinkles and lines. Remember, however, that this is a chemical based solution and thus, there are risks with its use. This is why you should be careful when you decide to go for this body wrinkle remedy. It's important that you speak to your doctor before you start using any collagen product however impressed you are with the product based on reviews and claims made by other users. You can actually minimize adverse reactions by speaking with your doctor first. Forget about the advertisements, endorsers, and even what your best friend tells you. You're safest by seeing your doctor and finding out if a collagen product you're thinking of using is the most appropriate one for you.

A much better way to prevent the unwanted side effects of collagen treatments is to not use them in any way. You can actually go with natural ways to stop body wrinkles from developing prematurely instead. And again, wrinkles are not entirely avoidable. They'll make their appearance, though there are a few simple methods you can try to delay them. For instance, you can avoid overexposing the skin to the sun. The sun's ultraviolet rays, according to many research studies, are harmful to the skin. You can prevent early body wrinkles by ensuring you sufficiently protect your skin whenever you go out in the sun. Quitting smoking is also an excellent way to prevent body aging as this horrible habit dries up your skin, making wrinkles and many other health conditions much more likely to occur. In the same vein, you need to start following a healthy diet and even stop drinking.
