Medical Treatment of Wrinkles

Although wrinkles can signify wisdom, most people nowadays would rather not have them. Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes such as glycation or, temporarily, as the result of prolonged (more than a few minutes) immersion in water. Wrinkling in skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors.

Many products and procedures promise to reduce wrinkles. Some do little or nothing (like the products that claim they reduce “the appearance of fine lines”, which means that they don’t reduce the lines themselves). Others can achieve a fair amount of success.

Be wise – moisturize. One cause of wrinkling is dry skin. Therefore, it makes sense to moisturize the skin. This can hide smaller wrinkles. Drinking plenty of water is also a good idea.

Stop smoking. We all know about the dangers of smoking but did you know that this bad habit can also contribute to wrinkles? Doctors say smoking causes premature wrinkles in the mouth due to constant puckering. It also interferes with the blood supply in that area that could aggravate wrinkling.

Stay away from straws. Sipping your favorite drink with a straw can make you look glamorous but it has the same effect as smoking and can cause wrinkles. To prevent this, drink directly from the bottle, can or glass. Don’t let the drink linger in your mouth. Drinking water afterwards can reduce your chances of tooth decay due to the acids found in colas, non-colas, and tea drinks.

Sucking up your drinks through a straw makes you purse your lips over and over (as if smoking a cigarette) and can bring on wrinkles. It doesn’t help your teeth much either. Drinking sugary drinks through a straw may save decay on your front teeth but the back ones will be badly affected,” said Bella Battle in the Sun Woman Online.

Sleep right. Burning the midnight candle can make you look old so it’s important to get enough sleep. However, the way you sleep can also affect your appearance. To avoid sleep wrinkles, sleep on your back and keep pillows away from your face. Pressing your face into a pillow whenever you sleep can give you wrinkles. If you can’t avoid this, use a softer pillow made of silk instead of one made of cotton.

You know those facial creases you wake up with from sleeping on your side? They could be permanent. Regularly subjecting one side of your face to such pressure can lead to wrinkles that don’t budge. Sleep on your back with your face in the air to avoid puffy eyes and a lined face,” Battle said.

Put on a happy face. While the link between stress and wrinkles is not clear, experience has shown us that the former can make us look older. Unhappiness, loneliness, anxiety, and depression are major stressors that can make or break you. Problems can’t be avoided but learn to live with them and you’ll feel much better. It will show on your face too.

Here are some things people can do to prevent getting many wrinkles at an early age:

#1 Don’t go to the tanning salon. The UV light from tanning booths is just as damaging as the sun’s - and sometimes worse.

#2 Don’t smoke! Smoking robs your skin of precious moisture and causes premature (early) wrinkles. (Did you ever notice that most heavy smokers have wrinkles around their mouths?)

Leads to Success in Dating

I never liked the idea of playing hard to get. To me, the concept seems manipulative and false. Yet, the prevailing wisdom of our elders has always been: this is the only strategy effective in winning the hearts of the ones we desire!

As I navigated the joys and sorrows of my own personal life and observed the experiences of my clients and friends, I discovered that there is another explanation that might help us to understand why this strategy has proven so effective for so many.

Let’s think about what happens when a person plays hard to get. We can use Yenny and Rubin as an example. Rubin was given Yenny’s number by a mutual friend. He called her and a date was set. The evening went well: conversation flowed easily and both felt an immediate rapport. Yenny was eager to hear from Rubin but was advised not to call him. It was up to him to initiate the next date. The next date went famously, but again, Yenny waited for him to set the plans. When he did not call the very next day, she debated whether to call him, but held herself back.

So what is going on between the two? Yenny showed enthusiasm to be with Rubin, but she made sure that she kept a bit of a reserve. She did not initiate the phone calling (or emailing) nor was she the one to suggest getting together. She was not always available when he asked her out (especially when the request was at the last minute.) At the end of the day, she was friendly, but in no way did she convey to Rubin that she was overly focused on the relationship.

So, what does this accomplish, not only for Yenny, but for Rubin, as well? To answer that question effectively, we need to remind ourselves about basic human dynamics. All of us struggle with balancing our need to be independent and our need to be with others. For many people, there is a tremendous amout of discomfort about letting down one’s guard and letting another person into their space. They need to proceed at their own pace until they feel comfortable. The person who plays “hard to get” unwittingly is allowing the other person the room to go at his own pace, thereby taking charge of his comfort level, and feeling better in control of his conflicting emotions.

Sometimes, a person feels crowded and anxious when a date begins calling and emailing. The relationship is proceeding at a pace that feels uncomfortable. The solution for handling the discomfort is to back off, or flee. When given the chance to call the shots, he can take each step when he is ready. This gives him the room to stay in the relationship even if he is feeling a bit ill at ease.

Now, some of you will protest that it’s not fair!!! Why should the other person have all the control? Well, of course you are right that it is not fair that one person gets to make all the moves. However, as they say, life is not always fair. Sometimes we need to be smart enough to figure out how to make things happen in our lives. If we can figure out what we need to do from our end to ensure the growth and well-being of our relationships, then I don’t consider it game-playing. Rather, I consider it having the savvy to understand the emotional make-up of the other person, and knowing what is needed for the comfort level of both parties!
