A sneaky way we may be causing wrinkles...

Did you know you may be causing wrinkles on yourself?!?  It can happen a number of different ways but one sneaky one that you may not thought of is the repeated use of straws. Can you believe it?  That same motion is actually the same as a smoker.  So although you may not be a smoker you can develop smoker’s lines as well. Yikes!!  

This happened to me after the birth of the 3rd daughter. I was constantly thirsty from breastfeeding and picked up a reusable water container with a straw.  Little did i know that I was actually causing myself little tiny wrinkles on my top lip.  I started to notice a line in particular and it finally dawned on me that it was the constant pursing my lips with my water bottle.  I now use a straw on occasion and use a regular old glass cup for majority of my drinks.  

I am definitely about pro-aging and I do feel like some wrinkles are very well earned but prevention can go a long way.   So while we are avoiding frowning or squinting that cause those  wrinkles on the upper face,  we should also use straws at a minimum. : ) Plus it’s better for our environment!  Our skin is the one thing we wear everyday, invest in it!!
