Causes of wrinkles
Wrinkles on the face is a problem that occurs not only in adulthood. Let’s analyze the main reasons for their occurrence:
- Dehydration: small wrinkles that occur on dry skin due to hydrobalance disturbance and transepidermal water loss by cells can appear even at a young age. You can quickly get rid of dehydration wrinkles by deeply moisturizing the epidermis and preventing moisture from evaporating.
- Photoaging: the negative impact of ultraviolet damages the cells of the epidermis, provokes oxidative stress. Prevention of photoaging will be the regular use of daily products with SPF filters.
- Bad habits: Smoking, sugar abuse, alcohol also affect the condition and quality of the skin, causing early aging. As a result, the epidermis loses its tone and freshness, the relief of the face becomes uneven, and the color fades.
- Sleep deprivation, chronic stress: lack of sleep and anxiety stimulates the production of the stress hormone (cortisol), which interferes with the synthesis of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and provokes the appearance of early signs of aging.
- Active expression: the first creases appear in places of greatest muscle activity, for example, in the corners of the eyes, on the forehead, between the eyebrows. With age, in the absence of sufficient care, mimic wrinkles become static and it becomes more difficult to fight them.
- Genetic predisposition: the manifestation of early age-related changes can also be due to genetics and is often inherited.
- Chronological aging: with age, starting from the age of 20, the susceptibility of fibroblast cells to the synthesis of new collagen, which is responsible for the elasticity and firmness of the skin, is disturbed, the production of natural hyaluronic acid is reduced, and the processes of skin regeneration slow down. All this is reflected in the condition of the skin: the first wrinkles appear, the oval of the face loses its clarity, skin turgor decreases.
It is impossible to completely stop the process of natural skin aging, but it will be possible to slow it down and reduce the severity of wrinkles if you follow a comprehensive anti-aging beauty routine.
Types of facial wrinkles
Wrinkles on the face are classified according to the localization of their occurrence, depth and mechanism of formation. We will analyze the existing types of creases and tell you what to do if a lot of wrinkles appear on the face.
- Mimic wrinkles on the face: horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, purse-string wrinkles – all these wrinkles appear earlier than others in places of increased activity of the facial muscles. The causes of beginning wrinkles are, for example, the habit of frowning, squinting, wrinkling the forehead in surprise, and pursing the lips. Expression wrinkles can appear even in adolescents with overly active facial expressions.
- lines of dehydration – These are small wrinkles that appear against the background of insufficient moisture of the skin of the face, regardless of age. The skin, overdried by aggressive cosmetic components (alcohol, alkalis, acids) or excessive insolation, loses its density, elasticity, and numerous superficial folds appear on the face. Dehydration is temporary, unlike dry skin, which is often permanent (dry type).
- Deep folds and creases: most often due to age-related changes in the skin of the face and neck and become most noticeable at the age of 25-30 years. Deep creases occur due to a decrease in the synthesis of collagen, elastin, with changes in the tone of facial muscles or the negative impact of environmental factors. Very large wrinkles occur at the age of 45+ due to hormonal changes in the body (menopause).

Are folk remedies effective?
Home remedies in the fight against wrinkles are ineffective, since they are not able to affect the deep layers of the epidermis and have only a superficial effect – light moisturizing and nutrition. In addition, care with folk remedies can provoke an allergic reaction, dryness, peeling and aggravate the skin condition. Choose proven anti-aging cosmetics with safe ingredients and proven effectiveness.
Removing wrinkles on the face with the help of salon procedures
Salon medium and deep peels, for example, glycolic peels, trichloroacetic acid peels, fruit peels, retinoic peels, and laser resurfacing, will help to noticeably smooth wrinkles on the face. The procedures are aimed at intensive renewal of the epidermis, even out its tone and relief, and rejuvenate the skin. Also, injection procedures aimed at intensive moisturizing and nourishing the skin will help smooth out wrinkles: mesotherapy, biorevitalization, and reinforcement.
How to remove deep wrinkles on the face with the help of cosmetology
What helps to quickly get rid of wrinkles on the face, rejuvenate and tighten the skin? To achieve an instant anti-aging effect, it makes sense to turn to aesthetic salon procedures. For example, mimic wrinkles, such as transverse forehead wrinkles, wrinkles in the area between the eyebrows or around the eyes, can be smoothed out with botulinum therapy (Botox injections). Loss of volumes of the face, fuzzy oval, flew – with the help of hardware techniques and fillers.
This is only a small part of the possibilities of modern cosmetology. The effect of such procedures does not last forever, but only for a few months. Indications and expediency of carrying out this or that procedure are determined individually with a cosmetologist.
Fight wrinkles before they appear: daily proper care
Below is a dermatologist’s advice that will serve as a preventive measure for the formation of wrinkles on the face.
- Stay hydrated – drinking plenty of water will help prevent dehydration of the skin and the appearance of creases.
- Eat a balanced diet, enrich your diet with fresh vegetables and fruits, rich in vitamins and minerals, which will strengthen and rejuvenate the skin from the inside.
- Try to control your facial expressions. By instilling in yourself the habit of paying attention to the emotions reflected on your face, you can minimize the static creases of the skin.
- Do not stretch the skin of the face during make-up removal or self-massage, the movements should be light and directed strictly along the massage lines.
- Get enough sleep! During proper sleep, skin cells intensively regenerate and are saturated with active ingredients from the night cream formula.
- Starting from the age of 25, a corrective beauty routine should include mandatory care steps: cleansing twice a day, toning, basic anti-aging care (day and night cream, serums), weekly exfoliation, the use of intensive moisturizing and nourishing masks.
- Pay attention to sunscreens in the composition of the day cream. UV protection with an SPF of at least 30 is a must-have component of skin care at any age.
- Choose cosmetics suitable for mature skin. Look for the following ingredients in the basis of anti-wrinkle formulas: hyaluronic acid, thermal water, peptides, antioxidants (vitamin C, E), retinol (vitamin A) and its derivatives. They contribute to deep hydration and compaction of the epidermis, and also stimulate the synthesis of natural collagen and elastin, increasing skin turgor.
