What are wrinkles?

Wrinkles, those little lines that appear on our skin over time, are much more than just signs of ageing. Over the years, our skin loses elasticity and moisture, which contributes to the formation of these marks. But don't worry, wrinkles are not your enemy! By incorporating gentle, nourishing skincare into your routine, such as moisturising serums and antioxidant-enriched creams, you can reduce them.

What are the different types of facial wrinkles?

  1. Expression lines These are the wrinkles that appear when we laugh, smile or frown. They form around the eyes, lips and forehead. Over time, they can become deeper, like the famous crow's feet or frown lines.

  2. Dehydration wrinkles: these are often fine and form due to a lack of moisture. They can appear anywhere on the face, but are particularly noticeable on the cheeks and around the eyes.

  3. Gravitational wrinkles Gravitational wrinkles: as we age, our skin loses its elasticity and volume, resulting in wrinkles that slope downwards. These wrinkles can be found around the cheeks and chin, creating a slackening effect.

  4. Age lines: these are generally deeper and appear on mature skin. These wrinkles result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as sun exposure and smoking.

  5. Eye wrinkles Often overlooked, they can appear as fine lines and are often a sign of lack of sleep or dehydration.

How can I reduce wrinkles?

Reducing wrinkles means taking care of your skin every day. Start by adopting a gentle cleansing routine and generous moisturising: well-hydrated skin is more supple and less marked. Don't forget sun cream, even on cloudy days, as it protects your skin from the UV rays that accelerate ageing. Use serums rich in retinol and hyaluronic acid, which stimulate cell renewal and plump up the skin. Last but not least, give yourself moments of relaxation with facial massages to boost circulation and relax muscles. With these simple steps, you can give your skin a long-lasting youthful glow.

What natural solutions are there to remove wrinkles?

Taking care of your skin and reducing wrinkles can be done naturally and gently. Serums, which are often concentrated in active ingredients, are invaluable allies. Opt for serums containing vitamin C, which brightens the complexion and stimulates collagen production, or those enriched with hyaluronic acid for intense hydration.

Plant oils are also an ally in nourishing and regenerating the skin. Argan oil, rich in vitamin E, and rosehip oil, known for its repairing properties, are ideal for reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Gently massage them into your face to stimulate circulation and maximise their effectiveness.

Hydrosols, such as rose or orange blossom, provide freshness and hydration. They can be used as a toner after cleansing, preparing your skin to better absorb the products that follow.

Finally, dietary supplements such as omega-3, silica and marine collagen support the skin from within, improving its elasticity and firmness.

What is the right routine for reducing wrinkles?

1. Cleansing: start by gently cleansing with Prebiotic, Zinc and Cucumber Gentle Cleansing Gel to remove impurities.

2. Toning: Apply Damask rose hydrosol from the M'Gouna Valley. Spray it on your face or use a cotton pad to tone your skin. This will soothe and prepare your skin for the following steps.

3. Serum: Apply Spilanthes Botox-Effect Serum Concentrate to wrinkle-prone areas. This serum helps stimulate collagen production and smooth wrinkles.

4. Active: Add a small amount of the Relax'Wrinkles Active to your face, gently massaging the product into the skin. This will help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and relax the features.

5. Skin care oil: Next, apply organic Patagonian rosehip oil. This oil is rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, perfect for deeply nourishing and moisturising your skin.

6. Food supplement: In parallel, take marine collagen as a food supplement, following the product instructions. This can help support the skin's structure from the inside.

Expert advice

For an original approach to combating wrinkles, incorporate 'layering' into your routine. Superimpose your skincare products, starting with light textures such as hyaluronic acid-based serums, followed by carrier oils rich in omega-3.
