Wrinkles develop during the natural aging process. They develop differently from person to person and also occur individually. Some factors such as sunlight, smoking, alcohol or even a genetic predisposition have a negative effect on the development and cause them to appear earlier. For many people, mostly for women, wrinkles are an unpleasant cosmetic problem. Therefore there are different methods to prevent wrinkles or to reduce or even remove them.
Anti-wrinkle creams
Many cosmetics companies advertise anti-wrinkle creams and promise a significant reduction after only several weeks. Nevertheless, the effect is controversial. First of all, the regular care of the skin should be carried out before wrinkles appear.
The skin remains firm and elastic if it is regularly cleaned and sufficiently moisturized. Many anti-ageing creams advertise certain ingredients such as vitamin C, retinol, collagen, coenzyme Q, hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. The question is whether these substances are even absorbed by the skin.
It is suspected that collagen and hyaluronic acid cannot penetrate through the skin due to their molecular size. Vitamin C and antioxidants, on the other hand, which help to remove free radicals that have a damaging effect on the cells, are better. Meanwhile, there are very well developed anti-wrinkle creams that contain complexes that probably help the skin to better absorb the ingredients.
In general, when choosing a suitable product, it should have a regenerating, protective and moisturizing effect. Which product is suitable for you also depends on your age and skin type. Cosmetic advice can help here.
Massage
The large visible wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes are perceived as particularly unpleasant. Here, regular facial massages can temporarily reduce the wrinkles that appear as split lines. The treatment should be performed once a week. This can be done by a trained beautician or according to instructions. The massage will be easier and more effective if a moisturizing and soothing cream or massage oil is used at the same time.
