It is said that aging can be a long process that occurs slowly over the decades; however, your skin can often end up showing signs of aging too quickly.
To know what kind of skincare is best suitable for your skin type, age, and the type of climate you live in, you need to first and foremost have preliminary knowledge of skin aging and the ways that it manifests itself. The two most common of these ways are fine lines and wrinkles.
What are wrinkles?
Also known as rhytides, these can be mainly identified as the folds on your skin. Common reasons behind wrinkles are the aging of your skin and the lack of natural production of collagen and elastin, which results in the skin getting loose and crinkly. The skin gets less resistant and becomes easily prone to environmental damage. The skin slowly loses its firmness and bounce and can observably become dehydrated over time.
How to prevent wrinkles?
Protecting oneself from the sun and its harmful UV rays is a big step towards protecting oneself from the early onset of wrinkles.
In such cases, using a retinoid (Vitamin A extracts) can be extremely helpful.
Moisturizing with a good body and face moisturizer with an effective formulation can make a world of a difference.
Hydrating internally by drinking a good amount of water and using water-based sleeping masks can add back a sense of hydration to your skin leaving it soft and supple.
Eating food with antioxidants and vitamins provides the nutrients needed by your body to maintain a good collagen balance which maintains the elasticity of your skin.
What are fine lines?
On areas of your skin that are particularly delicate and thin, you may find small shallow creases
which can be a significant sign of aging. Usually fine lines are caused because of repeating facial
movements and are most ardently noticed near ones eyes and mouth due to frowning, smiling
and other facial expressions. Fine lines are much milder in comparison to wrinkles.
How to prevent or reduce fine lines?
The first step is to stay hydrated and maintain a regular amount of water consumption everyday.
Using anti-wrinkle creams can help with fine lines as well.
Avoid sun exposure as UV rays can be extremely harmful for your skin and may lead to making your skin more prone to fine lines.
Getting enough sleep is important as many times not having enough sleep can cause stress and lead to fine lines on your skin. Never compromise on your beauty sleep!
Being mindful of these tips and tricks to recognize and fight wrinkles and fine lines as you age can help you tackle aging. Combine these with effective skincare formulations and take care of your beautiful skin to keep it ever-youthful!
