There’s many ways to prevent wrinkles.

  1. Lie on your back when you sleep. Sleeping side ways might cause wrinkles on the side your face that’s facing down.
  2. Use a thin pillow. Using a thick pillow might cause wrinkles around your neck.
  3. Don’t hesitate to use reading glasses. This will help to prevent wrinkles between eyebrows.
  4. Avoid Sunlight. Use Sunglasses and Sun protection daily.
  5. Don’t smoke. Smoking cigarette can age you.

These are just few examples, but there’s many other ways you can try in everyday life.
