Wrinkles are one of the most common aesthetic concerns among women. Its appearance can be related to multiple causes (hormonal changes, poor diet, unhealthy habits, lack of care, etc.), although the main one has to do with the inevitable passage of time.

As we age, cell division slows down, causing the elastin network, collagen fibres and the skin’s natural moisture to decrease in both quantity and quality. This causes the tissues to loosen and the tone of the skin to deteriorate, leading to the appearance of depressions (or wrinkles) on the surface of the skin.

Wrinkles can be classified into 2 classes according to their cause of origin:

Gravitational wrinkles: as the name suggests, these are wrinkles caused by gravity. Our skin’s resistance to the force of gravity is determined by our genes and the care we give it. That is why it is so important to eat a diet rich in foods containing vitamins A and E, two essential nutrients for healthy skin.
It is also essential to incorporate moisturising creams with Hyaluronic Acid, a substance capable of retaining large amounts of water, which increases the volume and hydration of the skin, making it look much smoother and more radiant.

Dynamic wrinkles: these are caused by the movements made by the muscles of our face when we gesture, for example, when we smile, get angry, are worried or are bothered by the sun’s rays. These gestures create patterns of movement that, over time, become expression lines and, later, wrinkles. To prevent their appearance, it is very important to use face creams and sunscreen every day, even when it is cloudy.

By following these tips, we will be able to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines and give our skin all the vitality and radiance it deserves.
