Men suffer from wrinkles just as women do, however most products are geared towards women. Causes of wrinkles are also the same such as repetitive facial expression, sun damage and general aging. The skin's elasticity diminishes due to environmental damage to your skin, leaving you with lines around your eyes, mouth and forehead. Treating wrinkles for men is much the same as for women, and with a little consistency men can regain healthy, less wrinkled skin.
Step 1
Eat a healthy diet consisting of plenty of protein and fresh fruits and vegetables. According to "The Doctors Book of Home Remedies," vitamins B, A, C, and E are essential to reducing wrinkle formation and treating existing wrinkles by providing antioxidants and collagen formation support.
Step 2
Apply an over-the-counter wrinkle cream containing copper peptides or co-enzyme Q10 to your skin to diminish fine lines and moderate wrinkles. According to MayoClinic.com, over-the-counter wrinkle creams contain lower doses of these active ingredients, therefore they are not recommended for deeper set wrinkles.
Step 3
Cleanse your skin with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water, suggests "The Doctors Book of Home Remedies." Harsh cleansers and hot water dry out essential oils that keep your skin viable and healthy. Avoiding excessive scrubbing also inhibits oils from nourishing your skin and helping keep wrinkles from becoming more pronounced.
Step 4
Apply a topical retinoid to your skin daily, preferably before bedtime. According to MayoClinic.com, retinoids are derived from vitamin A, a vitamin responsible for improving skin appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin tone. Skin redness may occur with use.
Step 5
Participate in a smoking cessation program to help you kick the smoking habit. According to "The Doctors Book of Home Remedies," smoking deprives your skin of oxygen, thus decreasing skin elasticity by robbing it of proper blood circulation. This promotes wrinkles and fine lines while worsening existing wrinkles.
