Get rid of wrinkles It has become one of the greatest concerns according to surveys, with more than 80% of women stating that it is the sign of age that bothers them the most.
It is inevitable that our face reflects the passing of time. And the most common result is unwanted wrinkles. From the first expression lines to crow's feet, bar codes, nasolabial folds...
Why do wrinkles occur?
The body begins to age naturally from the age of 25-30 and so does our skin. The only difference is that the manifestation of ageing on the skin is more visible.
Before the age of 40, they are fine lines, but if they are not cared for over the years, they break the fibres of the dermis, turning into wrinkles.
From the age of 45, and especially with menopause, the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin decreases due to the decrease in estrogen. This results in thinning of our skin, loss of firmness, elasticity and easy dehydration. The complexion looks dull because not enough nutrients pass from the dermis (deeper layer) to the epidermis (superficial layer). In addition, the activity of the sebaceous glands decreases and the skin becomes dry.
Conclusion: the main components that give flexibility and firmness to our skin are decreasing their activity. And the result is: wrinkles!
In addition, there are a number of factors that accelerate skin ageing and therefore the appearance of wrinkles: unhealthy diets, alcohol, excessive sun exposure or tanning. Frowning, raising the forehead, bar code in smokers or crow's feet in people who laugh a lot are also gestures that facilitate their appearance.
By the way, genetics also count.
And we are going to start attacking wrinkles with a very simple gesture: from now on we are going to get used to always washing our face with cold water, which contracts the skin and tissues, reactivating blood circulation. This way we achieve a smoother appearance.
Solutions to wrinkles:
The first wrinkles and expression lines diminish if we use an appropriate cream.
If we want solutions for wrinkles, not only to fill in those that have already appeared but also to prevent the appearance of new ones, the ingredients contained in the product are very important. They must be effective products with powerful ingredients.
There are three key active ingredients to fight wrinkles:
–Retinol: It is the best anti-aging active ingredient. It reaches the deepest layers of the skin to achieve cell renewal.
–Vitamin C: It blocks oxidative processes that cause the appearance of wrinkles, thanks to its antioxidant action.
–Hyaluronic Acid: Improves skin hydration levels.
Anti-wrinkle routine
There are no miracle products that can eliminate wrinkles, just as we cannot stop the passage of time. What we can do is attenuate, reduce and blur them and prevent and delay the appearance of new ones.
The best routine should not forget these steps. In this way we will see a great improvement in our skin. Let's do it:
Cleaning
Our daily facial beauty routine should include cleansing the skin in the morning and at night. The cleanser should remove impurities and maintain hydration and the barrier function of the skin.
Tonic
It is very effective in reducing wrinkles. When pores are clogged and not cleaned, they facilitate the appearance of signs of aging. If we apply the toner as Koreans do, with light touches directly from the hands, we will delay the appearance of wrinkles. If they can do it, so can we.
Hydration
Sun protection is essential to prevent photoaging. We recommend that it contains vitamins and antioxidants.
In the morning, choose an anti-aging day cream with a rich texture to counteract the reduced secretion of lipids. Anti-aging creams are more complete than anti-wrinkle creams and combat other signs of aging such as dryness, sagging and spots. It is important that the day cream contains hyaluronic acid, ceramides or vitamin E, which restore the skin's barrier function.
Let us not forget of the neck and neckline, the large ones abandoned in winter and which reveal a lot of age.
Special care should be given to the more delicate areas: around the eyes and lips, where we will use specific products. These are areas where the skin is more sensitive and thin and requires that we treat it.
At night We will take advantage of this time to apply the most powerful treatments, while your skin is resting and free from external interference (sun, pollution, etc.). It is the perfect time to use active ingredients such as retinol, which increases collagen and elastin and reduces sagging, pigmentation, and wrinkles.
It is important not to use products with alcohol, as they dry out the skin and promote wrinkles.
All products that we apply will be done with upward movements.
Face mask
We must add a weekly routine to our daily beauty routine and this is where the mask comes in. Once or twice a week, if we use a rejuvenating mask, it will be the icing on the cake to the anti-wrinkle treatment we are doing and we will see better results as it reduces the deepest wrinkles and leaves the skin more flexible.
