 Yes, it’s true, at some point in time; we all are going to age. Wrinkles on your face and other parts of your body are a sign of aging. Most people, especially woman, don’t particularly care for the fact that eye wrinkles are a part of their future, despite the fact that everyone does indeed get older. Wrinkles around your eyes tend to stand out worse than they do on other parts of your face or body because people are constantly looking into your eyes when they speak to you…as opposed to say…your elbow.
It could be helpful to know how eye wrinkles form so that you can avoid allowing them to occur in the first place. In the eye area, the skin tissues must use and retain a good deal of moisture. The middle layer of skin (dermis) keeps the skin looking wrinkle free because it holds collagen. The dermis sends collagen to elastin fibers which then stretches the epidermis. Over time, the dermis loses the ability to hold collagen which caused the skin to pull downward causing sagging and wrinkles.
In addition to the natural reasons for eye wrinkles, here are a few more damaging factors:
• Excessive exposure to the sun.
• Excessive facial expressions: frowning, squinting, smiling, etc.
• Smoking
It’s a great idea to start taking care of your skin before any damage has begun, but it’s never too late to begin a good skin care regime. Obagi’s ELASTIderm Night Cream will boost collagen production and replenish elastin so that you will experience less wrinkles and look and feel younger!

 Wrinkles on the face are caused by a wide variety of factors. As we begin to age our body’s ability to produce elastin and collagen decreases and the skin our face begins to sag and fall prey to the pull of gravity. You will find that skin that is thinner, such as skin found around your eyes, is prone to wrinkles faster to the skin that is thicker.
Certain lifestyle choices can contribute the facial wrinkles. Smoking, exposure to the sun, alcohol consumption, and drug abuse can cause mild to severe facial wrinkling. Although environmental factors contribute to facial wrinkles, genetics also play a role in the development of facial wrinkles.
Now you can turn back the hands of time and fight back against unsightly wrinkles thanks to the Obagi Skin Health! A must have for anyone wishing to say good-bye to wrinkles, the ZO Skin Health Ossential Radical Night Repair Plus will accelerate cellular turnover while you sleep using a potent concentration of retinol. As you use the ZO Skin Health Ossential Radical Night Repair Plus, older skin cells will rise to the surface and exfoliate. The resulting effects are that your skin will look younger, healthier, and more beautiful. You can find this and other great Obagi products available at Skin Gift.

 Vitamin C, otherwise known as ascorbic acid, was first recognized as an important nutrient in the 1700’s. It was at that time that British soldiers who were at sea were diagnosed with a nutritional deficiency called scurvy. It was then discovered that due to the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables available to the men, scurvy, which makes the connective tissues of the body defective, occurred.
Scientific results of consuming food products that contain Vitamin C reveal that it is one of the 13 vitamins that are essential for your health and well-being. There are many types of foods that you can enjoy that contain good levels of Vitamin C. All varieties of peppers have high levels of Vitamin C. Kale, oranges, peaches, black currants, kiwi, pineapple, papaya, and strawberries are among some of the fruits and vegetables you can eat that are rich in Vitamin C. Although fruits and vegetables are your best sources of Vitamin C, other foods such as breakfast cereals are fortified with Vitamin C, so it’s easy to obtain your required daily allowance.
Vitamin C is not only good for your body; it’s also good for your skin as well. As we age, our skin loses collagen. Skin care products that include Vitamin C are scientifically shown to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines and help your body naturally increase collagen production. The Obagi Professional-C Serum contains Vitamin C and has been proven to stimulate collagen production and neutralize skin-damaging free radicals. You can find the Obagi Professional-C Serum available in four different strengths at Skin Gift.
