How to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles
Wrinkles are creases in our skin that appear over time. They can occur due to a range of factors like lifestyle, dietary habits, and too much sun exposure. But the primary cause of fine lines and wrinkles is aging. Over time, our skin becomes naturally thinner and weaker due to a loss of collagen and elastin fibres. This causes skin to become less elastic as a result – resulting in fine lines and wrinkles.
When they first appear these fine lines and wrinkles may be more obvious when laughing, or frowning, but soft when your face is at rest. Over time, these creases will deepen and become more noticeable as we age. The good news is that there are key products you can start using to minimise wrinkles. By crafting your skincare routine to address wrinkles on a daily basis with the right products, you’ll be able to visibly reduce fine lines and keep signs of aging at bay!
Use an anti-aging hydrating cleanser
Many cleansers out there can be too drying for our skin as we get older, stripping away our natural oils. When looking for a cleanser that will help minimise the look of existing wrinkles, try go for something with hydrating properties.
Cleansers with hydrating ingredients like the Filler Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser have re-plumping properties to promote firmer, smoother skin as you clean the day away.
Double the moisture with a day and night serum
Moisture is key to minimising the appearance of fine lines on the face, so why stop at just one daily serum? Double your anti-aging efforts by first using a hydrating serum like the 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid Serum each morning. This serum has a rapid absorption formula and non-greasy finish that works perfectly under makeup.
Follow up each evening with the Laser X3 Pure Retinol Night Serum. This powerful retinol serum targets wrinkles, even deep ones, uneven skin texture and age spots.
Add sun protection
Sun exposure is one of the biggest causes of premature wrinkles and fine lines – research has shown that sun damage is the reason for a significant percentage of skin aging. So, naturally it’s important to make sure that sun protection plays a role in your skincare routine in order to reduce the potential for wrinkles to appear or make existing wrinkles deeper.
The easiest way to do this is by wearing a foundation or moisturiser with SPF included. Products like the Laser X3 SPF15 Day Cream are formulated to fight aging whilst providing sun protection at the same time.
Be gentle when removing makeup
As with the cleansers we mentioned earlier, also look for gentle ways to remove your makeup at the end of the day.
Apply a night-time treatment to help improve firmness
Using masks and hydrating creams while you sleep allow the
active ingredients to soak deep into your skin overnight, improving overall hydration and radiance. This intense overnight hydration combined with age-fighting ingredients like retinol work especially well for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Our Revitalift Night Cream contains Advanced Pro-Retinol, and works to stimulate cell regeneration to fight sagging and other signs of aging while you sleep, ensuring you wake up with firmer, intensely hydrated skin!
