(NaturalNews) Though wrinkles may be an inevitable effect of aging, there are many things we can do to hold off wrinkles as well as lessen and eliminate existing ones. Here are some natural suggestions for preventing and getting rid of wrinkles:
Wrinkle PreventionExcessive sun exposure leads to wrinkles, though it may take years. Thus one should avoid getting too much sun. However, don't avoid sunshine entirely. Regular sunshine and the resulting vitamin D3 is actually beneficial for the skin, and it is hugely important for overall health. The best advice is to get out of the sun when you first notice your skin beginning to turn pink. When you do get too much sun, take steps to help heal the skin and offset the damage such as using strong tea or aloe vera gel. To find more natural sunburn remedies, see:

Make sure you eat a healthy diet, which includes plenty of food items that are good for skin health. Here are some good items for a skin healthy diet:
*Make sure your diet contains plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for healthy skin. Wild-caught Salmon is a very good source.
*Blueberries are considered to be among the top three healthiest juices, along with pomegranate and acai.
*The top vitamins for the skin are vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, B12, C and E. Blackberries have all six, including abundant A, C, and E.
*Carrots and carrot juice are loaded with vitamin A, which is an essential nutrient for maintaining healthy
skin. Pumpkins are also a good source of carotenoids, which are derivatives of vitamin A.
*Raspberries, dark cherries, apple and strawberry are all loaded with antioxidants, which prevent free radicals from damaging your skin. They also have plentiful vitamins and nutrients for the skin and overall
health.
