Ways to combat expression wrinkles at 25 years old

Dull complexion

Our skin renews itself once a month, but with age these processes slow down. A large number of flakes (dead skin cells) accumulate on the surface of the skin. They are the culprits of a dull complexion, which becomes more and more noticeable if measures are not taken in time.

Daily mandatory care should consist of three steps: cleansing, moisturizing and nutrition. During home care, use cleansing masks 1-2 times a week, but when choosing, focus on your skin type: creamy ones are for dry skin, film masks are more suitable for oily and normal skin types. Those with combination skin type should choose a cleansing mask with clay.

Recommendations of a cosmetologist: it is also necessary to deep cleanse the skin once a week - peeling or scrub. They help exfoliate scales. Among professional procedures, 1-2 times a year, depending on age and skin type, it is advisable to attend a course of professional peelings.

Premature wrinkles

Everyone repeats it like a mantra: “It’s easier to prevent wrinkles than to fight them later.” But how to ensure prevention, what cosmetics to use, what ingredients to look for on labels? Now we'll tell you.

Early wrinkles: causes of appearance

The first thing to remember: physiological and actual age are not the same thing. According to statistics, the difference between them can reach 15 years. Moreover, almost a quarter of women have skin that looks older than their real age.

One of the most striking markers of aging is wrinkles. These longitudinal and transverse grooves appear as a result of damage to collagen and elastin fibers. At first thin and invisible, over time the wrinkles deepen, transforming into creases and folds.

The reasons leading to the appearance of early wrinkles can be both external and internal.

External reasons

Smoking , in addition to its general toxic effect, impairs microcirculation, reduces the body's antioxidant potential, resulting in dull and rough skin.

Lack of sleep triggers a cascade of hormonal reactions, worsening the condition of the skin. In addition, lack of sleep means that the skin, like any other organ, does not have time to go through the necessary nighttime recovery cycle.

Passion for tanning provokes photoaging: pigmentation, wrinkles, dry skin.

Lack of physical activity worsens metabolism and blood supply to the skin and muscles (including the face). On the other hand, exercising too intensely can lead to hormonal imbalances caused by fatigue.

Unbalanced diet. “Hungry” diets, sudden weight loss or excessive obesity - all this contributes to early skin aging. For example, fat deficiency often leads to insufficient restoration of the protective hydrolipid mantle.

Incorrect use of cosmetics. This primarily applies to cleansing and whitening products that dry out the skin. Due to moisture loss, renewal processes slow down and the skin becomes vulnerable.

Internal reasons

Genetic tendency to early skin aging.

Hormonal disorders (the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid depends on the amount of female sex hormones estrogen).

Too active facial expressions.

Types of early wrinkles

Modern cosmetology divides early wrinkles into two types.

Static - they are caused by various internal and external factors.

Mimic - the main reasons for their appearance are clear from the name.

With very lively facial expressions (the habit of squinting, frowning, raising eyebrows in surprise), due to frequent muscle contraction, wrinkles can appear as early as 18–20 years.

Among the various morphotypes of aging, the finely wrinkled type is distinguished; its dominant feature is wrinkles, as well as dry skin.

Wrinkles are also classified according to where they appear.

As a rule, wrinkles in this area are the result of excessive facial expressions. Self-control methods and Botox injections can help you get rid of the habit of wrinkling your forehead. Among cosmetic products, anti-aging creams and products with a Botox-like effect based on hexapeptides are useful.

Around eyes

We owe crow's feet to both the habit of squinting and accelerated aging processes. Very thin and delicate, with a minimum number of pores and sebaceous glands, the skin around the eyes is the first to lose elasticity.

In the corners of the mouth

These wrinkles are also of a mimic nature. Use anti-aging products - creams and gel fillers.

Wrinkles of "sorrow"

Sharp stripes stretching from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth not only make you look older, but also give your face a dissatisfied or sad expression. The easiest way to slow down their deepening is to make an appointment with a cosmetologist, for example, for injections of hyaluronic acid preparations.

Cosmetic products include creams: moisturizing, nourishing, and with filler effects.

Early “ring” wrinkles on the neck most often appear due to genetic predisposition, improper sleep (for example, too high a pillow), and the habit of reading in bed. Review your habits and regularly apply nourishing and moisturizing creams to your neck and décolleté a couple of hours before bedtime.

11 steps to prevent early wrinkles

Our task is to prolong the skin’s ability to self-heal as much as possible.

Lead a healthy lifestyle: eat right, move more, try to get enough sleep, avoid stress.

Monitor your hormonal levels and visit a gynecologist-endocrinologist once a year.

Take care of your skin. Remember: cleansing-exfoliating-moisturizing is a necessary minimum program. Well, night care should not be ignored either.

Apply cosmetics along massage lines, this will help avoid stretching the skin.

Drink water. Loss of moisture is one of the main causes of early wrinkles, and even oily skin can be dehydrated.

Don't sunbathe without sunscreen.

Protect your skin from adverse weather conditions - frost, wind, temperature changes.

Correct the consequences of photoaging (hyperkeratosis, pigmentation, early wrinkles) using products with retinol and retinoids. Use them in autumn and winter.

Don't neglect skin care products around your eyes.

Watch your facial expressions.

Do self-massage and facial exercises. They strengthen facial muscles, improve blood circulation and skin nutrition.

They are still barely noticeable, but in the mirror you can already see them. At home, you can fight such wrinkles with the help of tapes, face-building, and filler creams. They will not solve the problem overnight, but with continued use they will reduce visible signs of aging.

Skin is not as elastic as it used to be

When you’re young, you get up in the morning and you’re already beautiful. With age, it becomes more difficult - in the morning the face is a little wrinkled, dry, you immediately want to apply cream, and put a mask on top. A decrease in skin tone occurs due to a decrease in elastin and collagen. Alas, if you do nothing, every year the skin will become more and more flabby and dry.

Recommendations of a cosmetologist: in order for the amount of collagen and elastin fibers to be normal, it is necessary to consume a sufficient amount of protein daily, or take a course of supplements containing amino acids. Professional procedures include hardware techniques that promote the production of collagen and elastin: RF lifting, laser and photorejuvenation.

The first wrinkles under the eyes - what to do if they appear

When the first wrinkles appear under our eyes, at first we are lost and don’t know what to do. Every woman dreams of remaining young and beautiful until old age. In young years, this issue is not so acute, but closer to 30 years old, we already notice how small wrinkles and “crow’s feet” appear around the eyes, so clearly indicating age. The question naturally arises: how to remove wrinkles under the eyes?

Reasons for the appearance of the first wrinkles under the eyes

In order to get rid of wrinkles under the eyes, you need to understand why they occur. At their core, there are facial expressions - those that are obtained from the manifestation of feelings on the face and those that arise by themselves due to age and the forces of gravity. Over the years, skin cells lose the ability to produce elastin and collagen, which are responsible for the elasticity and youth of the skin. The facial skin under the eyes no longer becomes so elastic, loses turgor, as its ability to retain moisture is lost, and dryness occurs. The result is wrinkles.

First wrinkles under the eyes - what to do

To reduce the first wrinkles under your eyes, here's what you should do.

1. Cleanse, nourish, moisturize - the three pillars of caring for the skin under the eyes. Care should begin at the age of 18-20, choosing the right cream according to age.
2. A cream for the eye area should correspond to your age, since at each stage of life the skin has its own needs and you definitely shouldn’t overload young skin with anti-aging products.
3. Competent selection of cream and moderate use of decorative cosmetics. It overloads skin cells and can cause allergic reactions.
4. After 30 years, you need to pay attention to your facial expressions. During the day, notice how your emotions manifest themselves, whether you are resting your head on your hands, or whether you are squinting due to poor vision.
5. When washing, you need to carefully cleanse the skin, without stretching, pinching and trying not to rub your eyes, preventing the appearance of new wrinkles. Be sure to remove makeup at night.
6. Care products should be applied to the bone around the eyes using light, barely touching finger movements.
7. Moisturizers should be applied no earlier than 30 minutes before going outside, since the cream contains a high content of water, which freezes at subzero temperatures and is very harmful to the skin.

Remove wrinkles under the eyes with cosmetics

Today there is a large selection of skin care cosmetics on the market. Creams are produced by many brands. It is important to choose the right cream according to its composition, skin type and age. In addition, there are also salon procedures that solve these problems.

• Using mesotherapy, nutrients are introduced into the epidermis to help restore protein production.
• Photorejuvenation also stimulates the skin’s independent production of necessary substances through exposure to a light beam.
• Rejuvenation masks with the addition of organic acids provide a cleansing, toning effect and nourish problem areas. The result of the procedure can be seen within a few hours. Smoothes out small wrinkles, deep wrinkles become less pronounced.

Folk remedies for early wrinkles under the eyes

Along with factory-made products, homemade beauty recipes are also popular. Tested by time and our great-great-grandmothers, natural remedies have not lost their relevance to this day. Their main advantage is their availability; in every refrigerator there are ingredients for a mask or compress. They effectively combat the appearance of wrinkles, are varied, and the ingredients can be selected and changed at your discretion. From a huge variety, you can choose the recipe that best suits you.

This is a small piece of textile impregnated with an active agent. Can be hot, cold or contrasting. The principle of action is that the active substance is absorbed into the skin and has the desired effect. Hot compresses dilate blood vessels, relax the muscle corset and increase blood circulation. Cold ones, on the contrary, constrict blood vessels, toning the skin and removing minor wrinkles.

Contrasting compresses work excellently because they combine the actions of the previous two. Alternating high and low temperatures tones blood vessels and gives a tightening effect. You can start at any temperature and end with only a cold one. Apply to the eye area for half an hour. For better results, you can place a thick towel or piece of parchment on top. Take lying down, in a relaxed state. Compresses are usually soaked in herbal decoctions: chamomile, mint, lemon balm and oregano. You can also add nourishing and moisturizing oils.

Natural oils

From time immemorial, masks made from vegetable oils have been considered very effective. For the lower eyelid area and under them, oils such as olive, peach, almond and apricot oil are excellent. They perfectly moisturize and smooth out early wrinkles under the eyes. Apply easily, barely touching with your fingers. They provide excellent nutrition; natural vitamins A and E stimulate cell renewal and protect against negative environmental influences.

• Herbal oil perfectly removes wrinkles; you can prepare it yourself at home. Add one teaspoon each of burdock leaves, mint leaves and chamomile flowers to 1/4 cup of olive oil. Let sit at room temperature away from sunlight. Strain before use. Apply for 10-15 minutes no later than an hour before bedtime. Remove what is not absorbed with a cotton pad.
• Sea buckthorn and cocoa remedy. Grind sea buckthorn berries until smooth, add 0.5 tsp. sugar-free cocoa and 2 drops of vitamin E. Apply a thick layer to the face and cover with a towel or parchment for 30 minutes, then remove with a napkin. Done before bed 1-3 times every 7 days.

• The honey mask is especially popular. 1 tbsp. spoon of white flour and 1 tbsp. l. Stir the honey until you get a thick porridge. If the honey is too thick, you need to warm it up a little. Beat 1 egg white until foamy and add to flour and honey, mixing thoroughly. Apply and leave until dry, then rinse. You can replace white flour with oatmeal, then the application time can be increased to 30 minutes.
• Grate small raw potatoes on a fine grater. If the skin is dry, you can add 1 tbsp. l. heavy cream. Do not make it too liquid, otherwise the mask will drip into your eyes. Apply a thick layer for 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Ice cubes with herbal infusions

If you have wrinkles under your eyes, then this method is ideal. It is good for any skin type, age and depth of wrinkles around the eyes. Gives an excellent tightening effect, gives a healthy appearance, promotes skin cell renewal and independent production of substances. Low temperatures improve blood circulation. To make ice, you can take a decoction of chamomile, linden flowers or parsley in any ratios and combinations. Olive will give an excellent effect of smoothing out wrinkles and additional hydration for the skin around the eyes, if you put it on your eyelids after the procedure and the skin will regain freshness and radiance. Avoid contact with eyes.

Self-massage

Massaging the skin under the eyes increases blood circulation, the cells receive more nutrients and oxygen. The area around the eyes can only be massaged along massage lines. Otherwise, you can disrupt the process of natural collagen production and stretch the skin. To massage wrinkles around the eyes, it is better to use oil for additional glide, so as not to injure it again.

One of the popular ways to massage against wrinkles under the eyes is using a small glass or ceramic ball. It is safe for this part of the face and quite effective. It is carried out as follows. Heat the ball, lower it into slightly hot water, lubricate it with vegetable or other oil more suitable for you and roll it with smooth movements in the direction from the nose to the outer corners of the eyes, in one direction and then in the other.

Healthy sleep

Another reason for the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes is an unnatural sleeping position. When we sleep on our stomachs and our face rests on the pillow, or on our sides, this also affects the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes. It is recommended to sleep without any pillows, placing a rolled towel under your neck. Or the pillow should be completely flat. It is good for the skin to ventilate the room at night and sleep for at least 7-8 hours, the main thing is to get enough sleep.

Positive attitude

Everyone knows that laughter increases life expectancy. When a person is in a good mood and smiles, the amount of hormones endorphins and enkephalins in his blood increases, which has a positive effect on the functioning of the whole body. Therefore, if there is a reason to smile, smile and think positively!

Nasolabial folds have become more pronounced

Over time, not only the skin ages, but also the ligamentous apparatus, as well as subcutaneous fat. Because of this, nasolabial folds become more noticeable after 30 years. The foundation begins to settle into the wrinkles, and they are emphasized even more.

Recommendations from a cosmetologist: you can cope with this sign of skin aging with facial massage (you can try the popular LPG), self-massage at home, as well as biorevitalization. A more radical method is contour plastic surgery (injection of hyaluronic acid-based gel into the area of ​​the nasolabial folds).

35-40 years

At this time, static wrinkles begin to actively form on the face, clearly visible even with relaxed muscles. Such defects do not arise just like that, but appear on the basis of already existing facial folds and positional wrinkles. The latter appear due to changes in posture (in particular, lying on your side causes uneven skin on the neck).

If at the age of 30 the formation of elastin and collagen stops and the renewal of the stratum corneum decreases, then at 35-40 such symptoms already have catastrophic consequences. Solarium, alcohol, tobacco, dehydration, and overwork also affect the condition of the skin. Hence - skin defects and medium-depth wrinkles of the dermal type.

Daily care. It includes the selection of the ideal drug depending on the ability of the epithelium to respond to stimulation, as well as in accordance with the condition of the skin, the quality and quantity of static folds. For prevention, it is recommended to avoid ultraviolet irradiation and be sure to use antioxidants in nutritional and protective products.

Expert advice. Regulating the level of moisture will help create the appearance of youth. This is facilitated by:

• nanocomponent ASCIII – makes wrinkles less pronounced, skin elastic, and the dermis smoothed and strengthened;
• Matrixyl peptide – increases the amount of elastin and collagen, affecting fibroblasts; horse chestnut extract – helps restore skin protection;
• amino acids (urea, elastin, lactic acid, collagen hydrolysates, milk proteins) - participate in natural hydration.

Salon procedures. Static wrinkles need Botox, because at this age it is still possible to restore the pristine beauty of the skin. As before, facial exercises and regular massages will help. Also, 35-40 year olds are recommended to use stabilized hyaluronic acid, or more precisely, correction with the introduction of gel fillers. Minimally invasive techniques will not hurt: biorevitalization, bioreparation, mesotherapy.

Fuzzy oval face

A fuzzy oval face begins to appear around the age of 28-30. And, oddly enough, most often the reason for this is sedentary work! Facial contours sag due to postural problems. Therefore, it is important to monitor your muscular core and do not forget to do very simple exercises to keep your body in good shape, even at work.

Recommendations of a cosmetologist: every day it is advisable to do gymnastics for the shoulder girdle and spine. If this is exactly the problem, then even very proper home care and professional procedures will not give the effect you want - only a healthy lifestyle and activity will save you.

Folk recipes

What folk recipes should you use to fight wrinkles? There are many such recipes, but you need to choose taking into account the characteristics of your skin.

Ice massage

This is an effective preventive procedure; after thirty, it is recommended to do this massage daily, periodically changing the composition. Basic Rules:

• carry out procedures in the morning;
• Taking the ice cube out of the mold, let it melt a little so as not to scratch the skin with its sharp edges;
• You need to move a piece of ice in the direction of the massage lines, do not put pressure on the skin, just wipe your face, barely touching its surface with ice;
• do not stay in the same place for too long; too much exposure to cold can cause vasospasm;
• the total duration of the procedure is 3-4 minutes;
• after completing the massage session, do not wipe your face with a towel, let it dry;
• If the ice is made from ordinary water or a decoction of herbs, then you do not need to wash your face. But if you use dairy products or fruit juice for preparation, then after your face is dry, you need to wash your face with slightly warm water.

Filtered or mineral water can be used to make ice. But it is better to use a decoction of herbs. It is recommended to use string, chamomile, nettle, and sage.

Cosmetic ice made from freshly squeezed juice has a good effect on the skin. If your skin is prone to oiliness, it is recommended to use citrus juice (orange or lemon), diluting it halfway with water. For normal and dry skin, it is recommended to use cucumber, grape or watermelon juice (no need to dilute).

You can make cosmetic ice from dairy products . For epidermis prone to dryness, milk (whole or diluted with water) is used. For oily skin, it is better to use serum.

Homemade tonics

Skin toning is an essential element of home care. Homemade tonics are good because they do not contain preservative additives. Here are several recipes for tonics that can be used to combat wrinkles after 30 years. You need to prepare tonics in small quantities so that you can use them in two to three days.

The finished product is applied to a cotton pad and wiped over the face, following the direction of the massage lines ; it is recommended to use the product twice a day.

Dark circles and puffiness under the eyes

Lack of sleep, stress, overwork, working at the computer and on the phone give us dark circles and puffiness under the eyes. A healthy lifestyle helps reduce these manifestations of skin aging: walks in the fresh air, seven hours of sleep (you need to go to bed no later than 23 hours), giving up bad habits.

Recommendations from a cosmetologist: a cream with vitamin C and caffeine will work well in home care. A potato mask containing catechins will help prevent swelling. If all these methods do not give effect, or you want to get the result faster, contour plastic surgery and mesotherapy come to the rescue.

Causes of wrinkles around the eyes at 30 years old

There are several reasons why wrinkles around the eyes appear at such a fairly early age:

• Hereditary predisposition
• Bad habits (abuse of alcoholic beverages, smoking)
• Insufficient skin care around the eyes
• Increased facial activity

• Prolonged exposure to the sun
• Use of low-quality cosmetics
• Poor nutrition
• Stress, overwork

If you start immediately and effectively deal with small wrinkles that have appeared, you can achieve very good results. There are many ways available today to combat wrinkles around the eyes.

Why do wrinkles appear?

Adverse habits, such as alcohol, drugs, smoking, greatly accelerate the aging process of the face

Wrinkles on the face are the result of decreased synthesis of your own collagen. The main reason for this is age-related changes. When it comes to women, menopause is to blame. After menopause, estrogen levels decrease, and this hormone stimulates the production of collagen and elastane. Over time, the number of collagen fibers decreases as they are destroyed under the influence of various factors, resulting in deep wrinkles and furrows.

However, the first wrinkles are noticeable after 20 years. We are talking about facial wrinkles that appear in places of active facial expression - the corners of the eyes and lips, the forehead. Such wrinkles can appear at any age, and in general are associated not with aging, but with facial expressions and the expression of emotions. As a rule, facial wrinkles are not visible at rest, when the face is relaxed, but appear within a few minutes after tension in the facial muscles.

It is generally accepted that until the age of 25 the body grows, and then the aging process gradually begins. This coincides with the time the first wrinkles appear - it is at 25 that most people develop expression lines around the eyes.

At exactly what age wrinkles appear depends on several factors. Among them:

• skin type;
• Lifestyle;
• habits;
• nutrition;
• professional activity;
• features of care.

Dry skin ages earlier, oily skin ages later. Lifestyle plays an important role. The habit of working at night and sleeping during the day leads to disruption of melatonin production. Without this substance, the aging process proceeds faster.

Chronic lack of sleep and insufficient water intake all lead to early wrinkles. Skin aging is accelerated by smoking, drinking alcohol and eating too many sweets.

Another factor that causes early wrinkles is professional activity. People who work on the high seas age much earlier, due to the effects of sun, wind and sea salt. The same is observed among those who, due to their duties, spend a lot of time outside during the cold season.

Deficiency of vitamins and minerals, unbalanced nutrition and dehydration of the body are also causes of early aging.

Thus, wrinkles appear due to decreased collagen production. In addition to age-related characteristics, this process is stimulated by an unhealthy lifestyle, exposure to natural factors, lack of vitamins and bad habits.

Wrinkles do not appear suddenly and all at once, except in the form of exceptions such as systemic diseases, when a mass of cells suddenly accumulates in the skin. Therefore, it is easy to predict where wrinkles will appear:

• Places where muscles most often contract. For example, if you frown or smile, wrinkles appear around the eyes and on the forehead.
• Places that are most often exposed to ultraviolet radiation. The sun, which gives us a tan, contributes to the appearance of wrinkles.
• Places where the skin is thin. There she simply loses collagen (the protein that is responsible for strength and elasticity) the fastest.

Wrinkles on the forehead at 25: how to get rid of them

All wrinkle treatments are cosmetic procedures. Even if we are talking about surgery, it is not plastic surgery for health reasons. Such manipulations do not radically change anything in the patient’s condition, but they can improve well-being. And as we remember, health is not only physical, but also mental well-being, which is influenced by the reflection in the mirror.

1. Paralysis of the superficial muscles of the face. This is Botox and everything that looks like it. There is such a dangerous bacterium - botulinum clostridium. Her toxin (that is, the poison she secretes) causes paralysis. And if, for example, you eat a can of canned food contaminated with botulism, you can die from paralysis of the respiratory muscles. But humanity has learned to use this effect to its advantage.

Enterprising researchers have purified and weakened the toxin so that it can be injected into spastic and superficial facial muscles. Due to the action of the toxin, they are paralyzed for two to three months, depending on the dose and characteristics of the body. As a result, those wrinkles that appeared due to muscle movements are smoothed out. The risks of Botox injection are headaches and flu-like symptoms.

2. Filling the recesses. There are many medications that can be injected into the deep cavities of wrinkles to smooth them out from the inside. For example, the same hyaluronic acid, which is now used to fill wrinkles, and to enlarge lips, and to correct the shape of the face.

There is a huge list of fillers approved for use by the FDA (American Food and Drug Administration), ranging from the patient’s own fat cells (pumped out in one place, pumped into another), collagen (and a lot of drugs based on it), lactic acid, hydroxyapatite, as well as various combinations thereof. Don’t forget about silicone and mineral oils, which, although they are becoming a thing of the past due to their unsafety, are still popular.

3. Changes in collagen through invasive destructive procedures or medical means. There are procedures that are supposed to improve the quality of collagen in the skin and change its appearance. The use of lasers, chemical peels, and dermabrasion remove dead cells and encourage fibroblasts to produce more collagen to remove fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Surgical removal of excess skin. This procedure belongs to plastic surgery and is performed in the operating room under anesthesia. The result depends on the skill of the surgeon and can be impressive.

Some treatments are as simple as applying a cream to the surface of the skin (though this doesn’t always work: research shows that most homemade anti-wrinkle creams are just a marketing ploy). Others are major interventions that require anesthesia. What exactly will help in each specific case depends on the skin type, the depth of the wrinkles and the cost, of course.

What exactly to use and how should be decided by a cosmetologist. Much depends on what drug the clinic or salon uses, how much you are willing to pay and how much you are willing to risk. Most injection methods of rejuvenation require constant repetition, because the fillers dissolve under the skin and it returns to its original state (this is if you are lucky, but if not, we see terrible side effects and disfigured faces).

The skin around the eyes is extremely delicate and thin. Underneath it, unlike other areas of the face, there is no muscle or fat layer. It is not surprising that this is where wrinkles begin to appear first. When making a regular mask, we bypass this area, since all those components that smooth our forehead and cheeks on the skin around the eyes lead to the exact opposite effect.

Massage helps to smooth out wrinkles around the eyes a little if done according to all the rules and with great care. But, unfortunately, it is impossible to completely solve the problem with its help. However, there is no need to despair. A special cream will help you remove wrinkles in this area.

The best creams intended for the area around the eyes are:

• Aquatel (Russian);
• Bioderma (French);
• Topping (German);
• Kora (Russian);
• Ahava (Israeli);
• Dior Hydra (French);
• Dr Hauschka (German);
• Shiseido Benefit (Japanese);
• Vichy-Aquqlia Thermal (French).

With the help of a well-chosen cream (and, of course, its regular use), you can smooth out all visually visible skin defects in the area around the eyes. To avoid selecting products at random, contact a professional cosmetologist. An experienced specialist will help you choose a cream that perfectly matches your skin type and is most effective in your case.

cream for wrinkles around the eyes is applied using fingertips, lightly patting the skin;

You only need to move from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner and nothing else, otherwise the number of wrinkles will increase even more.

The first wrinkles on the forehead appear quite early - often long before the age of 25 - and are more common in people with expressive facial expressions. The skin on the forehead is very elastic and firm, so smoothing it out will not be difficult.

The following will help you cope with this task:

• cosmetic masks that perfectly moisturize and nourish the skin of the forehead, and also effectively eliminate inflammation;
• chemical peeling, which will also relieve you of pimples and acne;
