They are not our enemies and are part of life, and yet the first wrinkles are often difficult to accept. If you start to notice small fine lines on your skin, don’t panic! Centifolia explains how to take care of your skin to limit the appearance of the first wrinkles and fine lines and delay skin aging.
First wrinkles: what to do?
We cannot control genetic factors, of course, but we do have the possibility of acting on all the other parameters to maintain beautiful skin and limit the appearance of the first wrinkles.
The key is hydration
We can never repeat it enough, hydration plays a key role in maintaining firm and youthful skin. Make sure to drink enough throughout the day and moisturize your skin morning and evening, after cleansing, with suitable products. Moisturizing your skin after cleansing will also help form a protective barrier against external aggressions and pollution, and thus restore the skin’s hydrolipidic balance. Furthermore, your face will need more hydration in cold weather or when the sun’s UV rays are strong.
Sport, 8 hours of sleep and dark chocolate!
This goes without saying, and yet we tend to forget that our body, and therefore our skin, responds to how we take care of ourselves, inside and out. Choose a diet rich in antioxidants (which you can find in fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, berries, oilseeds, seafood or even in green tea and dark chocolate, etc.). Science has also proven that practicing regular sporting activity helps to delay skin aging. Sleep and stress also play a vital role on your skin, do not hesitate to consult these 8 tips to relieve distress in 5 minutes flat or our few basic tips for sleeping well.
The right action against UV
Let’s not forget that UV rays accelerate skin aging and are also responsible for certain brown spots on the skin. Remember to apply sunscreen every day in addition to your skincare, and in particular before exposure to the sun, after applying your moisturizer.
The right routine to adopt?
Made from Centifolia Rose, known for its antioxidant, lightening, soothing and moisturizing properties, the Eclat de Rose range is ideal for dehydrated skin, which is prone to initial irritation. In addition, the hyaluronic acid contained in the range will play a key role in maintaining hydration and collagen in the fibers. Vitamin C will neutralize free radicals from the sun, pollution or stress, thus preventing premature aging of the skin.
Morning and evening, remember to cleanse your skin with Make-up Remover Oil Jelly. This cleanser will help eliminate impurities and traces of pollution, leaving skin clear, ready to receive moisturizing treatment. Then apply your Eye Contour, smoothing the product over dark circles and under the brow bone. The next step is that of the Hydration Booster Serum, ideal for increasing the action of the moisturizer and restoring a second youthfulness to dehydrated skin. In addition, don’t forget to apply a moisturizer, such as the Rich Cream in the morning and the Gel-cream at night before going to sleep.
You can find the essentials of the Eclat de Rose range in the Eclat de Rose Box, for normal to dry skin.
Practice self-massage
To limit expression lines, you can practice facial self-massage with facial yoga. 5 to 10 minutes daily are enough to firm the skin and relax the facial muscles. To find out more, do not hesitate to read our tips for combating expression lines. To increase the action of your anti-aging cream, you can also smooth the wrinkle outwards to stimulate the skin’s elastin.
At what age do the first wrinkles appear?
The aging of the skin depends on many factors: lifestyle, genetics, quality of care given to the skin… We are not equal when it comes to the appearance of the first marks which appear on average at the age of 25. Less deep and less marked than wrinkles, fine lines can appear particularly around the eyes, where the skin is thin and may lack hydration.
It is especially around the age of thirty that the first expression lines appear: frown lines on the forehead, crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes or even nasolabial folds around the mouth… They are witnesses to your bursts of laughter and your raised eyebrows!
Understanding wrinkles to better prevent them
There are two types of wrinkles: expression lines, or “dynamic”, which form following the repeated contraction of facial muscles, and deep or “static” wrinkles. These are directly linked to the natural loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid, which contribute to the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Wrinkles then form and deepen.
