I don\u2019t use any of the cupping tools often but if I had static wrinkles I probably would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dermapen micro needling tool. In the video I mentioned I have the roller kind but don\u2019t recommend them. I ordered this pen stamp kind to try: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xUaStb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xUaStb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frownies wrinkle patches: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HJdbkp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HJdbkp<\/a>. I haven\u2019t been using these at all for for a few months but if I had static wrinkles I would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is me shortly after waking up in Costa Rica, still wearing Frownies! I didn\u2019t realize my hubby would want a pic right away \ud83d\ude03<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Red light therapy devices; the video describes the Tanda that is no longer made. I have read that Saunaspace, Lumebox or Boncharge make low emf options. None are currently available on Amazon. I try to use the red light every few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video describes the Evenskyn Venus eye massager wand I have, and mentions shipping delays. I looked into that again and it turns out it was the company that just took a month to ship it out after printing the shipping label. I noticed that Amazon carries another brand of the same type of device. I can\u2019t speak to the quality of this but it looks similar to what I have. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3TZ0wky\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3TZ0wky<\/a>. I aim to use this everyday. Update: I lost my Evenskyn so I am trying the Amazon one. It is SO much cheaper, only around $16!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Angel Lift Dermastrips are silicone strips worn in the mouth to combat wrinkles (Marionette or smokers lines) around the mouth, and help your lips appear more plump. I wear these sporadically. I have the Vermilion version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oralift is a device worn in the mouth that trains you to not close your teeth together, which can have benefits to your facial appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silicone wrinkle patch set from Oia: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/48EiLA7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/48EiLA7<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Face lifting double chin \/ jowls  head strap: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3S2KinO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3S2KinO<\/a> I will note that added benefits of this are that it reminds to to do mewing, and to puff out your lips a little instead of letting your top lip purse or start to fold under. Be sure to wash the whole thing frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plasma pen fibroblasting tool similar to this: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3zpygiS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3zpygiS<\/a>. To finish my story about the age spots, I went to another med spa to ask about age spot removal, and they said it could take 5 treatments at $300 each, and even then the spots might not get removed. That seemed crazy to me so I didn\u2019t get any treatments and still have the age spots. I\u2019ll keep using my plasma pen. I have tried so many topical things and none of them help at all. A doctor told me that the age spots reflect damaged DNA at the site, and if exposed to UV light they will return. So I always wear a hat outside, although I do try to get sunlight on my body for vitamin D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Tips (Not in the Video):<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I also use a fascia blasting tool on my face on the jowl and eyebrow area. There are pressure\/ tension points around your eyes. I\u2019ll have more tips on that in an upcoming video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin hydration is important so I recommend sipping water throughout the day. Don\u2019t worry about chugging water throughout the day if you\u2019re not thirsty though. And I recommend avoiding drinking out of straws because that crinkles up your upper lip and causes \u201csmokers lines.\u201d Smoking or vaping anything will also cause this, as well as causing other negative effects to the skin and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Never pull or drag your skin. Be gentle when washing and drying your face. Instead of smearing on chin creams, gently press them into skin. Don\u2019t rub your eyes or rest your cheek on your hand. Even makeup brushes can drag your skin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other factors in skin sagging are bone loss and fat loss. So sagging skin isn\u2019t always because it stretched out; there\u2019s just less underneath it so it looks looser. But that\u2019s all the more reason to not stretch it further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned in the video, repetitive motions of the face over time cause wrinkles. Smiling is still good because it lifts so many muscles up, but frowning is bad because it pulls your whole face down. Pouting is also bad. Basically all the negative emotions including anger are bad for your face as well as your demeanor. You may have heard of mind + body connection, but it\u2019s also: Mind + wrinkle connection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also check in a mirror how your mouth looks when you make the \u201cE\u201d sound. You may think you look like this: \ud83d\ude2c but really you might look more like this: \u2639\ufe0f! Try to train yourself not to turn the corners of your mouth down, even when you talk. I try to smile as much as possible when talking. Even when not talking, keeping a slight smile on your face instead of \u201cresting b*tch face\u201d is a great way to keep your face uplifted instead of gravity pulling everything down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing you can do all the time is keep a micro small lift in your eyebrows. Don\u2019t raise your eyebrows so high that it creates big ripple wrinkles, but just enough so that you don\u2019t feel like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/img_5573-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/img_5573-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/img_5573-1-242x300.jpg 242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find that these small changes in how you hold your face can have profound impacts on your mental health! Smiling has been proven to make you feel happier; and likewise, releasing angry forehead lines can help you feel less angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before going to sleep, be sure to relax any tension in your forehead and face. Gently puff air out of your mouth to pucker your lips out a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also reduce tension out of your body as much as possible. If you have \u201celevens lines\u201d you have tension in your forehead. And if you have tension in your forehead, you almost certainly have tension in your neck. And if you have tension in your neck, you likely also have tension in your forearms. That\u2019s right, your forearms. Take a second to massage them. Surprisingly tender and painful right? That was a tip you\u2019ll find no where else, because I have put all that together myself based on small bits from other expert sources. Everything is connected, so releasing tension in these other areas can help your face too! Dimples in your chin are another sign of tension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleep as much as you can, particularly before midnight as sleep is more restorative before then. Sleep is when your body regenerates skin cells. Check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/20\/sleep-tips-for-all-ages-natural-toxicant-free-and-effective\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unique sleep tips<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleeping on your back is best to prevent wrinkles. I personally can\u2019t do this because of back problems though. Make sure your pillow is adequately high enough to lift your head; this will help prevent excess fluid from causing puffiness in your eyes and face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-9931343\/Dr-Steve-Harris-launches-anti-wrinkle-sleep-mask-works-like-Botox.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article<\/a> describes a sleeping mask that is supposed to help alleviate wrinkles. I think I read it only stays on if you sleep on your back, which I don\u2019t, so I didn\u2019t look into it further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try not to take scalding hot showers. I do admit I take hotter shower than I should!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid heat from sources such as the oven. Stand back after you open the oven door to let the blast of hot air escape, before you get your face close to it. Oven mitts will help protect your hands from the heat and dishwashing gloves can help during dishwashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t rub your lips together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look into \u201ctapping\u201d techniques for the face. It gently helps increase blood flow to the skin, which is very beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting sunlight on your body is essential for vitamin D, but I wear a hat to protect my face outdoors, except in the morning. I carry a hat around in the car to wear even for quick trips outside, such as walking across a parking lot from my car into a store. Sunscreen can contain quite a few toxicants and heavy metals including lead, so I don\u2019t consider it ideal for daily wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/index.php\/2024\/01\/23\/minimal-makeup-for-maximum-impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Part 3<\/a> of this series where I show close ups of my face without makeup, and give more tips for avoiding skin aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid looking down as much as possible. \u201cText neck\u201d is bad for the skin on your neck too! Try to look up often. Just be sure to do this gently as you don\u2019t want to forcibly stretch the skin in front of your neck, or crinkle up your forehead. Blue light from things like cell phones have also been linked to facial aging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have hooded eyelids, these eyelid stickers can help adjust where the fold of your eye sits and help it be higher: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Urf6kR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Urf6kR<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some ingredients in skin care that have been shown to help improve wrinkles are aloe Vera, red ginseng, soy, niacinamide, and astaxanthin. Consuming pine bark improved skin color and decreasing pigmentation of age spots, so I\u2019m going to look into trying that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned because more anti-wrinkle and youthfulness tips are coming !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/orange-simple-world-smile-day-instagram-post-1-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/orange-simple-world-smile-day-instagram-post-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/orange-simple-world-smile-day-instagram-post-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/orange-simple-world-smile-day-instagram-post-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/orange-simple-world-smile-day-instagram-post-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/orange-simple-world-smile-day-instagram-post-1-45x45.png 45w, https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/orange-simple-world-smile-day-instagram-post-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, here is an interesting article about how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/health\/ageing\/pregnancy-may-speed-up-biological-aging-study-suggests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">having kids literally ages you<\/a>. But I\u2019d say in some ways kids also can have effects of reconnecting with being and feeling young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Non-Surgical In Office Procedures to Consider:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I haven\u2019t done any of these yet but started to look into them pretty extensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laser treatments can work wonders for your skin and reduce sun damage, but make sure you go to a dermatologic surgeon or dermatologist who is fellowship trained in lasers and performs the treatments themselves (not one of their nurses). Don\u2019t just go to a med-spa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">The best laser seems to be the Fraxel Dual, recommended once a year. However, a lighter version of that is the Clear and Brilliant, which is less strong with no discomfort or down time.&nbsp; That\u2019s what I wanted&nbsp;to try, but because of my connective tissue disorder I don\u2019t know how much benefit I will get and one of my dermatologists recommended against it for that reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For hyperpigmentation, I had one session of  PICO (with Fraxel) laser on my brown age spots. It lightened them but didn\u2019t fully remove them. I could go back for more sessions but they cost $400 each time, so I\u2019m seeing if I can further lighten them other ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">The Vbeam laser reduces redness and is good for rejuvenating texture, but doesn\u2019t have good reviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">For skin tightening, sort of like a face lift, Thermage is an energy treatment for tightening and gets the best reviews. Can be done on upper eyelids&nbsp;as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Ulthera doesn\u2019t have as good reviews but can be used for face&nbsp;slimming if you\u2019re interested in that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve seen some concerns with RF microneedling (Profound&nbsp;or Morpheus 8 \/ Embrace) so I don\u2019t plan to do those. Those can also be used for face slimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve also seen some criticism of at home lasers, which aren\u2019t the correct type as the best choices I just listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supplements for Skin and \u201cAnti-Aging\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All links are Amazon Associates and are products I purchase and use.
