Can you share your experiences reducing wrinkles? What worked for you? Diet, exercises, creams, etc?

Fruitarians age horribly so obviously there is more to it than just keeping carb intake high. Although I do agree it's a good thing to eat plenty of carbs.Aren't wrinkles mostly cortisol-driven? Because cortisol's function is to make energy when you don't have enough energy (food/carbs/sugar), or when you suddenly need a lot of energy that food can't provide, such as in a very stressful situation. Cortisol makes energy by breaking down tissues and organs to increase bloodsugar, and one of the organs it breaks down is the skin.
So I think if you have a high-carb diet with sugar and fructose, and you don't let your bloodsugar drop and cortisol rise (being hungry), you'll prevent cortisol from breaking down your skin and other things for energy. Lack of sleep is another thing that is known to cause wrinkles, and the reason is probably because a lack of sleep increases cortisol.
I have also heard some people say regular meditation makes you look younger, maybe because it decreases cortisol chronically.
A few things that come to mind are red light, collagen, vit C, copper and hormones, such as DHEA, preg, prog, test and thyroid.
A high milk diet helped my skin stay nice and oily (not acne) and wrinkless.
Proper hydration and elasticity is key for having a good skin, true, and the hormones are mostly involved in that area.No, not collagen. This is a misconception. Older people have more
collagen in their skin than younger people. Dr. Peat talks about this in one of his
articles or interviews, I will have to find it.
Elastic fibers is what makes the skin look young. As people age, the collagen increases
and replaces the elastic fibers.
Wrinkles are lines in skin where increased collagen has displaced the elastic fibers so the
skin is unable to bounce back to smoothness.

What supplement stack were you taking when topical iodine caused scars to flake off like dandruff?Proper hydration and elasticity is key for having a good skin, true, and the hormones are mostly involved in that area.
But collagen supplementation improves skin quality.
A meta-analysis from 2019: Oral Collagen Supplementation: A Systematic Review of Dermatological Applications - PubMed - NCBI
"FINDINGS: Eleven studies with a total of 805 patients were included for review. Eight studies used collagen hydrolysate, 2.5g/d to 10g/d, for 8 to 24 weeks, for the treatment of pressure ulcers, xerosis, skin aging, and cellulite. Two studies used collagen tripeptide, 3g/d for 4 to 12 weeks, with notable improvement in skin elasticity and hydration. Lastly, one study using collagen dipeptide suggested anti-aging efficacy is proportionate to collagen dipeptide content.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Preliminary results are promising for the short and long-term use of oral collagen supplements for wound healing and skin aging. Oral collagen supplements also increase skin elasticity, hydration, and dermal collagen density. Collagen supplementation is generally safe with no reported adverse events. Further studies are needed to elucidate medical use in skin barrier diseases such as atopic dermatitis and to determine optimal dosing regimens."
I actually want forehead wrinkles. I think they look good. Probably because they are a sign of low prolactin.
None because I didn't have scars on my face so I didn't use it on my face. :)What supplement stack were you taking when topical iodine caused scars to flake off like dandruff?
You weren't taking any supplements? I have scars all over. Just thought to ask about the stack. The scar didn't turn to a scab in your case? How often did you apply? How many days until it went away?None because I didn't have scars on my face so I didn't use it on my face. :)
I guess just keeping that area hydrated should help again scabs. Also, if you're getting scabs, then your iodine concentration might be too much and is damaging the skin.
The iodine did cause my scar to form hard skin on top of it which I scratched off but it wasn't excessive skin or anything.You weren't taking any supplements? I have scars all over.
