Preventing wrinkles is a whole lot easier than trying to get rid of them once you've got them. You may think that wrinkles just happen when you reach a certain age and there's nothing you can do about it. 

Or perhaps you already do everything you can to prevent skin damage - eating right, protecting your skin from the sun, not smoking, drinking lots of water. 

One thing you may not have thought about is preventing wrinkles by training yourself to avoid certain facial expressions and body positions.  After all a wrinkle is simple a crease in your skin.  Some wrinkles are inevitable but what you do with your face and how you hold your body  every minute of the day has an awful lot to do with it as well.

Here's six things you can start doing now to help keep those wrinkles at bay:

Cut down on your pillows.  Sleep with one pillow not two to avoid a double chin and wrinkling around the neck.

Don't read in bed and if you do lie on your back with one pillow holding the book above you.  Never prop yourself up with the book on your stomach - unless you want a double chin!

Don't look down at your computer screen - bring the screen up to eye level for the same reason.

Stand up straight - imagine you're being pulled upright by a piece of string going through the center of your body and out of the top of your head.  Standing up straight and holding your head properly means your face and neck are not pulled down or to the the side creating wrinkles and sagging. 

Retrain your face to avoid causing wrinkles.  Frown lines and brow furrows don't just happen - you cause them by making repeated facial movements.  Sit in front of the mirror and see what happens when you frown or wrinkle your brow.  Chances are you are doing this a lot without realizing it.  Learn to recognize the sensation.   Then hold you face still without frowning and wrinkling. Practice keeping your face still during the day - at first you'll have to think about it and then it will come entirely naturally.  Not only will you look better and feel much more positive but you'll gradually remove the wrinkles and create smoother skin - without paying a fortune for botox!

Try some Frownies.  A celebrity anti aging secret Frownies are small skin-colored adhesive papers you stick on your forehead preventing you from frowning. Sounds unbelievable doesn't it? Truth is that used regularly they really work to help frowns disappear and make your whole forehead smoother. Get them from Frownies website. 

That's it - retraining your body and face can go a long way to preventing wrinkles and giving you younger looking skin.
