Fine Lines & Wrinkles

From a medical point of view, wrinkles are skin deformations that are not caused by injury. You could also call them furrows or creases in the skin's surface. Wrinkles can be short-lived, but also long-lasting. Think of your facial expressions, for example – they can take on many different forms. There are laughter lines, frown lines, sleep lines and creases, among others.

How do fine lines and wrinkles develop?

Fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. Nobody wants them, but everyone gets them. Wrinkles generally develop as you get older due to the decrease of collagen and elastin in the skin. This makes the skin less firm and elastic. But wrinkles also appear in other ways – for instance through skin damage caused by sun exposure and free radicals. Fatigue, stress and even allergies can cause wrinkles too. Frequently rubbing your eyes or applying make-up too roughly can encourage fine lines. Very dry skin can result in dehydration lines.

Which ingredients help against lines and wrinkles?

Collagen - Natural protein that contributes to firm, smooth skin.
Hyaluronic acid - Intensely hydrating and reduces the visibility of fine lines.
Retinol - Boosts collagen levels in the skin and stimulates skin renewal, for youthful, smooth skin.
Vitamin C - Stimulates collagen production, protects against free radicals and brightens the complexion.

Which skincare routine reduces wrinkles?

Keep the skin well hydrated. Use a face cream and an eye cream containing collagen or retinol, for example. Be gentle with your skin as well. Avoid aggressive ingredients and treatments. Don't scrub the skin, but use an exfoliant with enzymes or glycolic acid instead. Try not to rub skincare products and make-up in, but pat them into the skin. This prevents fine lines and gives a nicer finish – win-win. It is also incredibly important to protect the skin against the sun and free radicals. So use sun protection with antioxidants and at least SPF 30 daily. In addition, a balanced lifestyle with a good diet, exercise and rest promotes beautiful, healthy skin.
