Wrinkles are folds that dig into the skin as it ages and loses its natural collagen. They first manifest as smaller fine lines and become wrinkles when their depth reaches 1 mm. Wrinkles affect both men and women and can appear when people are in their twenties.
About 90% of wrinkles are caused by repeated exposure to the sun's UV rays.
There is nothing we can do about it! Over time, the skin dries out, the natural production of collagen and elastin slows down, facial muscles lose their tone and cell renewal decreases: all these factors explain the loss of volume that occurs. Moreover, the reduction in subcutaneous fat volume accentuates the hollows of certain parts of the face, such as dark circles and the nasolabial fold.
Tobacco and/or alcohol consumption, stress, lack of exercise, a diet rich in sugar... As we know, lifestyle habits have a direct impact on our health, but also on that of our skin. To promote the production of collagen and elastin and to enable our skin to better protect itself against external influences (UV rays, wind, pollution...), it is essential to pay particular attention to our lifestyle!
As the name suggests, expression wrinkles are caused by facial expressions that are repeated every day, such as smiling and squinting of the eyes. As the skin ages, the resulting temporary wrinkles fade away until they eventually become permanent.
Some people are born with advantages or disadvantages regarding the appearance of wrinkles. For example, people with darker skin are less affected by their high melanin content, which protects them from ultraviolet rays. The thickness of the skin is also an important point: the thicker the skin, the less it is affected by the weakening caused by ageing.
UVA rays (present all year round and throughout the day) and UVB rays (particularly significant from April to September between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.) have a direct impact on the epidermis and dermis. We cannot say it enough: it is essential to protect your skin by using an appropriate sunscreen every day - preferably mineral-based and at least SPF 30 - and remembering to reapply it every 2 hours.
By promoting collagen production, a diet rich in vitamins A and C, silicon, amino acids, magnesium and antioxidants is an effective way to combat sagging skin. Similarly, it is important to avoid foods that are heavily roasted or burnt, as the process (called glycation) generated by this promotes loss of skin elasticity.
The skin contains on average 75% water, an essential element for the proper functioning of cells. Better protected against external influences (UV rays, pollution, wind, heat, cold, humidity and dryness), the skin ages less quickly!
To keep your skin supple and smooth and your complexion radiant, use a high-quality moisturiser that suits your skin type and needs... and which allows you to absorb about 1.5 l water per day!
It takes only 21 days to develop a good habit and become a natural part of any routine! Here are the 4 essential steps for good health and beauty habits:
Regular exercise lowers cortisol levels and promotes better production of collagen, a protein essential for skin health and beauty.
Do not expose yourself to premature skin ageing caused by smoking.
Reduce fine lines under the eyelids with Botox® by relaxing the eye sphincter.
A naturally rejuvenated appearance by reducing fine lines on the forehead with Botox®.
