Wrinkles on the face: how to get rid, remove wrinkles at home [opinion of Vichy experts]

The natural aging process worries all women to a greater or lesser extent. First of all, age-related changes appear in the form of wrinkles on the face. It is worth noticing the first hints of wrinkles – and the imagination is already drawing up their further development, and in the meantime, the mood is rapidly falling.

Is it possible to remove recent or deep wrinkles on the face and neck, and if so, how to get rid of them at home? Is it true that the right anti-ageing anti-wrinkle treatment smooths superficial wrinkles and reduces deep wrinkles on the face and neck? Let’s find out together in the new Vichy Mag article.

What are facial wrinkles and how do they appear?

The effectiveness in removing or smoothing wrinkles on the face directly depends on their nature and depth.

Types of facial wrinkles

Let us turn to the classifications of cosmetologists as the most trusted sources.

  • Mimic wrinkles. They may also appear at the age of 18-20 as a result of active facial expressions.
  • lines of dehydration. Frequent companions of both young and mature skin. Beauticians classify them as superficial, affecting only the epidermis.
  • Deep. Over time, mimic wrinkles deepen and lengthen, taking the form of creases and folds. For example, if in youth the fine lines near the eyes quickly disappeared, then over time they become distinct “crow’s feet”, noticeable even at rest.

Causes of wrinkles

And another important feature of wrinkles on the face, on which the success of cosmetic procedures aimed at eliminating age-related changes depends, is their nature.

  • Photoaging. Exposure to invisible ultraviolet radiation exacerbates skin problems and accelerates the aging process.
  • Mimic. High activity of the facial muscles over the years leads to the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, in the corners of the mouth, on the forehead and along the nasolabial lines.
  • Chronoaging. After the age of 20, human skin annually produces less and less collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the elasticity and density of the skin.
  • Hormonal aging. During menopause, wrinkles and folds deepen, the oval of the face is deformed.
  • Unfavorable external environmental factors. They stimulate the activity of free radicals that destroy skin cells and protein fibers in the skin layers.
  • Wrong posture. It causes wrinkles on the neck (the so-called rings of Venus) and in the décolleté area. Incorrect bite, in turn, forms deep wrinkles around the mouth.

Only 20% of age-related changes are provoked by genetics, the remaining 80% – by negative external influences, that is, these problems can be minimized if you start caring for your skin as early as possible. What to do if there are already a lot of wrinkles on the face and neck, and the usual creams do not work? I recommend switching to special anti-aging care. With its help, you will achieve, if not complete elimination of wrinkles, then a significant reduction in them.

How to get rid of wrinkles at home?

It is possible to remove existing folds and wrinkles on the face, as well as smooth out creases, if you approach the problem in a complex way, combining salon procedures with home care containing anti-aging actives in the right concentration. In the Vichy ranges, such products are included in the LiftActiv and Neovadiol ranges. They will support the effect of salon care and will become another effective element of rejuvenating beauty practices.

Thermal water enhances the skin’s resistance to external irritants. The night cream will help smooth out wrinkles and compensate for the hormone-dependent slowdown in cell regeneration.

Why is it not effective to remove wrinkles on the face with folk remedies?

How can you quickly smooth out or completely remove wrinkles at home using products from the refrigerator or from your own garden bed? There is an opinion that the fastest way is to make a mask from retinol-rich carrots and, for example, berries that are high in vitamin C.

Cosmetologists note that most recipes for anti-aging homemade masks do include fruits, vegetables and berries – sources of vitamins and antioxidants. However, home mixes also have several significant disadvantages.

  1. Anti-aging compounds in berries, fruits, and vegetables have poor bioavailability: they have little effect on the skin, and bring the maximum benefit to the whole organism as food.
  2. Berry and vegetable juices can stain the skin when used externally, contact with wounds can cause burning and irritation.
  3. From allergies to pure plant extracts, as well as pure oils, no one is immune. In addition, masks with citrus juice and some other ingredients of home recipes destroy the hydro-lipid protective barrier of the skin.

In anti-aging products, active substances should have good bioavailability, and their formulas should include an anti-aging complex with scientifically proven effectiveness. Only the complex action of active substances can both prevent accelerated aging under the influence of negative external factors, and reduce existing wrinkles, as well as enhance the protective functions of the skin.

Care products developed in laboratories meet these requirements and will help get rid of fine lines and wrinkles and tighten the skin much more effectively than homemade recipes.

Fight wrinkles before they appear: principles of prevention

We recommend that our young readers adopt a few principles that will help prevent the natural aging process now, when only superficial wrinkles appear on the skin.

  • Maximum hydration. Even owners of oily skin need to drink plenty of water (about 0,033 liters per kilogram of body weight) and use light care with hydrofixators – in particular, hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
  • Posture. Proper fit of the head and deployed shoulders will save you from the rings of Venus.
  • Facial muscle tone. It is enough to dwell on the correction of facial expressions (remember how your mother asked you not to wrinkle your forehead) and a light massage without stretching the epidermis and muscle tension.
  • Care with antioxidants and acids. The former slow down the aging process caused by environmental factors, while the latter improve the renewal of skin cells.
  • Sun protection all year round. Sunscreen cream is very effective in combating photoaging, but do not forget to apply it not only on the face, but also on the neck and décolleté.

Learn more about preventive care. Among the Vichy products, there are at least two recommended for both young girls and older women with the first age-related changes.

Night peeling to smooth the skin relief returns smoothness and radiance to the face, and in two months it can effectively remove fine wrinkles and significantly reduce age spots. The complex of citric and glycolic acids stimulates cell renewal, which slows down the formation of creases.

Facial wrinkles cannot be completely and permanently removed, but with daily anti-aging care, your skin will look much younger at any age. Do not give up and choose only high-quality cosmetics with the most modern formulas.
