The difference between wrinkles and fine lines

IT IS ESSENTIAL TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN WRINKLES AND FINE LINES IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND YOUR SKIN AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT SKINCARE.

Fine lines are shallow, superficial lines generally created by certain facial movements (around the eyes, mouth, and forehead) or caused by dehydration. They are usually barely visible or only noticeable when you make facial expressions. They are considered the first visible signs of aging. However, these fine lines can be precursors to wrinkles. Therefore, it's important to treat them as soon as possible to prevent them from deepening.

Wrinkles are deeper and more pronounced, resulting from the breakdown of collagen and muscle movements, and become increasingly visible over time even without facial expressions.

THE CAUSE OF WRINKLES AND FINE LINES

REPEATED FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

When we make certain facial expressions frequently, muscle contractions and repetitive movements can lead to the formation of wrinkles.

SUN EXPOSURE

This is the most common cause of wrinkles and fine lines. UV rays destroy collagen and increase the production of free radicals. Research suggests that UV rays are responsible for 80% of visible skin aging. Prolonged sun exposure can also cause age spots, which are another sign of skin aging. The best way to prevent aging is to apply sunscreen every day.

DEHYDRATION

A lack of water in the skin can lead to the formation of fine lines. Hydrating your skin with water helps to plump it up and therefore makes fine lines less visible.

LACK OF SLEEP

Lack of sleep can contribute to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. This is because the skin repairs itself at night. If you don't get enough sleep, it won't have time to regenerate and prevent the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

POOR DIET

Too much sugar hinders collagen production. Add a collagen supplement to your routine to reverse the effects of aging.

HOW TO REDUCE WRINKLES AND FINE LINES WITH YOUR BEAUTY ROUTINE?

RETINOL

Retinol increases collagen production to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It also encourages the skin to renew itself more quickly to prevent their formation.

VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is the most powerful antioxidant. It neutralizes free radicals to prevent cellular and DNA damage. This helps protect collagen and stimulate its production.

SUN PROTECTION

Sun protection is crucial for maintaining healthy, youthful skin. UV radiation damages DNA, increases the production of free radicals, and causes many signs of skin aging, including fine lines and wrinkles, by triggering the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Sunscreen should be applied daily, starting from a young age, to preserve youthful skin.

HYALURONIC ACID

Hyaluronic acid will deeply hydrate the skin thanks to its different molecular weights and help to plump the skin.

EXFOLIATION

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, promotes the growth of new cells, and stimulates collagen synthesis. As we age, cell renewal slows down; gentle but regular exfoliation allows new cells to emerge more quickly.
