In the world of skincare, there are some holy grail secrets and some important rules to live by if you want to see real results in the way your skin and wrinkles look.
If you are already on your journey to repairing existing wrinkles but want to learn how to prevent new ones from forming, look no further. These tips below can help stop new wrinkles from showing up on your face!
Stop Pulling At Skin
In every single step of your skincare routine, you are applying product and pressure to your skin that can be causing wrinkles. As we get older, we start to lose more and more collagen and elastin. If you are not careful to avoid tugging at your skin during your skincare routine, the combination of pulling and the lack of collagen can create new, deep wrinkles on your face.
It’s natural to think the harder you rub a product in the better it will work but that couldn’t be more wrong when it comes to skincare. You always want to apply your products with a gentle hand to avoid tugging at your skin and causing more wrinkles. When applying your moisturizer, the proven peptides in it can work much harder if they are highly applied to the skin and left to absorb. The same goes for your eye serum which should be gently applied with your fingertips to fight eye wrinkles, brighten dark circles, and destroy puffy eye bags.
Avoid Soap
No other step is quite as important for your skin as cleansing but you should never, ever be doing it with soap. While soap works wonders on your body in the shower, it can be extremely drying for your skin and can make wrinkles look deeper and bigger. Soap is not meant to be used on the delicate skin of your face and will cause more harm than good in the long run.
If you are using soap to wash your face, we suggest stopping that immediately. Not only is it drying your skin out but it is altering the pH levels of your skin which will lead to accelerated aging. Switch up your cleanser to a trusted cleansing oil that will hydrate skin, remove makeup, and cleanse impurities in one easy step. It will also help you rebuild your collagen so it can help your skin appear firmer!
Focus On The Future
Some products will promise immediate results and while you’ve probably been fooled by this before, they forget to mention the importance of preventative skincare. Keeping skin looking young is more than just addressing what you see, but having a strong focus and an effective routine to help avoid skin damage and wrinkles in the future.
Experts agree that preventative skincare is just as important and suggest including ingredients that help prevent wrinkles as well are repair them. A comprehensive skincare routine formulated with high-quality ingredients is the best-proven way to prevent future damage and keep skin looking great. If you aren’t seeing results yet, not having a proper routine could be the problem.
