Signs of age: sooner or later wrinkles appear on everybody. But how do you prevent the lines and can you treat existing furrows effectively? With our practical tips, you can keep your skin looking youthful for as long as possible.
Causes: This is how wrinkles form
From the mid-20s, your skin loses its elasticity every year. The long-term result: wrinkles on the face, neck, décolleté and hands. The reasons for this phenomenon are manifold. But the most important is in your genes. They determine when your skin starts producing less collagen and hyaluronic acid. Both substances keep the skin elastic and plump. Without them, the tissue gradually collapses.
In addition, your genes also regulate the metabolic processes in your skin and the activity of the sebaceous glands. If both mechanisms shut down, the tissue is less well supplied with nutrients and stores less moisture. Your skin becomes drier and more sensitive. This is how wrinkles form quickly.
External environmental influences such as free radicals accelerate this natural, individual aging process. These metabolic products attack your cells and are created, for example, by UV radiation or nicotine.
Prevent wrinkles: simple means
Anti-wrinkle creams for your body contain substances that moisturize, boost collagen production and protect your skin from free radicals. These anti-aging helpers include hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, Q10, and retinol. Integrate these ingredients into your skincare every day from the age of 30 at the latest.
Also important: UV protection. Thoroughly apply lotion to your face, hands, and all other parts of your body that are exposed to the sun every morning!
Free aid in the fight against the development of wrinkles under the eyes, wrinkles on the neck, décolleté wrinkles, and the like are getting enough sleep and avoiding nicotine and alcohol.
Wrinkles: How to treat existing lines
Have your laughter lines dug deep into your face? With hyaluron injections and botox, doctors and beauticians effectively reduce existing wrinkles on the eyes and other body regions. Since hyaluronic acid is produced by the body itself, it is usually well tolerated. It is primarily used to plump up décolleté and facial wrinkles from the inside out. A Botox injection is suitable for expression lines and relaxes muscle regions involved in wrinkles. Deep furrows are immediately less visible. However, we recommend a detailed consultation with the doctor before a possible Botox treatment.
