Let's take a second to look at what causes wrinkles. As people age, their skin produces less oil and the epidermis (outer skin layer) becomes dry. Collagen and elastin, proteins that help keep skin taut, begin to diminish in the underlying dermis. The skin then begins to sag, causing a wrinkled appearance. While this is something that happens to everyone, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) points to sun exposure and smoking as prime contributors to speeding up this process. One's propensity to wrinkle is also genetic.

While there are many over-the-counter remedies that claim to reduce wrinkles, Liberty Health network offers all natural solutions. So far, there's no cream that can eliminate wrinkles, but you can do certain things to minimize or prevent further skin damage that can cause wrinkles and to improve the overall appearance of your skin.Along with Liberty products, consider:

      * Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.

          Rich, emollient moisturizers help hydrate skin and "plump-up" fine lines with regular use. For those concerned about oil and clogged pores, oil-free lotions and creams are available over-the-counter; they can help reduce dryness that may lead to fine lines. With any new moisturizer, use caution when applying it to the area around your eye, as this region tends to be quite sensitive. Also, to avoid irritating your eyes, don't moisturize too close to them.

      
    * Seek sun protection factor 15.

          According to the AAD, using a moisturizer with at least SPF 15 is a good way to limit harm to the skin from sun exposure. (Read Sunscreen: What SPF should I use? in Alice's General Health archive for more sun protection guidelines.)

      
    * Be careful when using alpha-hydroxy acids or retinol.

          Although moisturizers containing alpha-hydroxy acids and retinol (derived from vitamin A) treatments could help diminish the appearance of fine lines, they can be irritating to the delicate skin around the eyes.

      
    * Consider the air in your bedroom and office.

          If you're surrounded by dry and/or heated air, using a humidifier while you sleep or work can help preserve some of your skin's moisture.

      
    * Think about allergies.

          Another consideration in choosing a moisturizer is whether or not it is hypoallergenic, which means that its ingredients are not likely to cause an allergic reaction.
