Lines or wrinkles on your face may appear when your skin is continuously exposed to the sun. Other causes of wrinkles include worry, the aging process and lack of moisture. It takes years for wrinkles to manifest. When they do appear, it requires time and effort to make them look less obvious. Fortunately, you can hide wrinkles and use strategies to make them less visible. Do not expect a miracle, because you can never completely erase wrinkles.
Step 1
Drink eight 8-oz. glasses of water a day. Dehydration makes the skin look wrinkled while an adequate intake of water plumps up skin cells and smooths out wrinkles. Hydrate the skin from the outside by spraying it with a facial mister, spritzing with rosewater three to five times a day. You could also just spray your face with plain water periodically during the course of the day.
Step 2
Exfoliate and nourish your skin by using an herbal exfoliant on your face. Gently scrub your skin with the herbal exfoliant to take off skin cells that are no longer alive and that prevent air, moisture and nutritious skin care products from entering the pores of your skin. Apply moisturizer after exfoliating every day.
Step 3
Do not make any extreme facial expressions. Facial expressions, such as laughing, produce laugh lines and lines around the eyes. Forehead wrinkles also appear when you make a worried facial expression. Hide wrinkles you have developed from making facial expressions by keeping a straight face. Wear sunglasses when outdoors to hide any wrinkles around your eyes.
Step 4
Wear makeup only if you must. Makeup can actually make wrinkles more noticeable. Apply mineral makeup powder to your skin, but do not apply makeup to wrinkles. Dab moisturizer onto any wrinkles you may have accidentally brushed with mineral makeup powder. Use a lip primer before applying lipstick to prevent lipstick from straying into lines above the lips. Outline your lips with a lip liner pencil designed to plump up and hydrate your lips.
