Face lines: what causes wrinkles & how to get rid of them?

Sooner or later every woman comes to the point of her life when she spots this unwanted, uninvited, first wrinkle spoiling the perfect picture of youthful skin. This face line is a proof that you can’t stop the clock. See what causes wrinkles and if it’s possible to eliminate them. If it is, how to do it with the best results?

Wrinkles. They appear in the following order: in the eye area, on the forehead, around the lips and nose. Face lines appear sooner if you’re a smoker. Some of them – known as laugh lines – add charm and are a nice proof that you smile a lot. Unfortunately, most of them make us realize that we grow older and our skin loses youthful plumpness and smoothness.

Causes of face wrinkles

What triggers the occurence of face lines? Most of you say it’s a sign of aging but few of you know the exact reason why creases and furrows appear on the skin. They appear because of loss of collagen and elastin – proteins that maintain skin’s tightness and plumpness. With age the skin is also running out of hyaluronic acid (hydrating agent) resources and consequently it goes sallow and dry.

Of course face lines may appear faster because of your lifestyle, skin care you follow, etc. See the most common causes of face wrinkles triggering premature skin aging:

  • incorrect skin care
  • stretching the skin while removing makeup
  • too little sleep, too much stress
  • lack of sun protection
  • cigarettes and alcohol
  • overexposure to the sunlight (and overuse of sunbeds)

How to get rid of wrinkles?

You can try to eliminate first lines that came too early. There are a few ways to restore skin’s youth, firmness, smoothness and glow. Still, you must realize that the sooner you take action, the easier it is to do away with wrinkles. Having enough willingness to regularly care for the skin is the key to success.

1. ANTI-WRINKLE SECRET – SERUM

Using a face serum rich in retinol, coenzyme Q10 or hyaluronic acid is the easiest way to bring back skin’s plumpness. Serums have a great benefit – light formula filled with maximum number of ingredients working from within – quickly and effectively. Choose an anti-ageing or lifting face serum that has a nourishing, hydrating and repairing effect, and boosts resilience.

2. ANTI-WRINKLE SECRET – OILS

Natural oils – such as almond, jojoba or argan oil – have outstanding skin-firming effect as well. Each one nourishes skin, maintains optimal hydration and enhances natural cell renewal. Ideally, use oils every day: instead of a cream, to gently remove makeup or as a base for home antiaging face masks.

3. ANTI-WRINKLE SECRET – MASSAGE

Kill two birds with one stone: combine applying a serum/oil/cream with a face-lift massage. Skin likes it when you stimulate its natural repair process. Remember about that during your daily skin care and devote a few minutes to massaging the face and gently patting the skin to stimulate blood flow. You can use a jade roller or other massaging tool.

4. ANTI-WRINKLE SECRET – FACELIFT

It’s somewhat a shortcut but it’s hands down effective. The choice of facelifts is huge – laser facelift, red light therapy, needle or needle-free mesotherapy, ultrasound therapy, thread lift, enzyme peel and many others. They are pricey, though.

5. ANTI-WRINKLE SECRET – DIET

You mustn’t forget that the appearance of skin also flows from your health. If you eat a balanced diet, your skin will surely pay you back looking radiant, smooth and firm. Let’s eat healthily and drink water – that’s the easiest way to avoid face wrinkles.
