Wrinkles: How to prevent and reduce them naturally

Wrinkles are an inevitable part of aging, but there are many ways to delay their appearance and reduce existing ones. With a better understanding of how wrinkles form and the right skincare routine, you can protect and revitalize your skin in a lasting way.

In this article, we offer you a complete guide to understand why wrinkles appear, how to prevent them, and what strategies to use to reduce them naturally.

Why do wrinkles appear?

Wrinkles are the result of several factors, mainly age-related, but also external influences such as sun exposure, stress, and pollution. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and ability to regenerate, partly because the production of collagen and elastin, the two proteins responsible for the firmness and suppleness of the skin, decreases.

Here are the main causes of wrinkle formation:

• Loss of collagen and elastin: These two essential proteins provide structure and elasticity to the skin. From the age of 25, their production slows down, leading to a loss of firmness and the appearance of the first fine lines.
• Exposure to UV rays: Ultraviolet rays degrade collagen fibers in the dermis, accelerating the skin aging process. This is called photoaging.
• Dehydration: Less hydrated skin is more prone to wrinkle formation. The sebaceous glands produce less sebum with age, reducing the skin's natural protective barrier.
• Repetitive facial movements: Smiling, frowning or squinting are all movements that, over time, can leave permanent marks.

How to prevent wrinkles?

Although wrinkles are inevitable with age, it is possible to slow their appearance with a few simple and effective habits.

1. Daily hydration

Well-hydrated skin is supple skin that is better protected against external aggressions. Make sure to drink enough water every day and use moisturizers that are suited to your skin type. Look for products that contain hyaluronic acid, a molecule that can retain up to 1000 times its weight in water and helps maintain optimal hydration. The Multi-Active Serum with 5 Hyaluronic Acids intensely hydrates and plumps the skin, thanks to a patented complex composed of powerful complementary moisturizers: 5 forms of hyaluronic acids, beta-glucans, polyglutamic acid, arginine, and optimhyal, which boosts our own production of hyaluronic acid.

2. Sun protection

One of the most effective ways to prevent wrinkles is to protect your skin from UV rays. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days. Choose protection with an SPF of at least 30, and if possible, choose a specific treatment that blocks UVA rays, which are responsible for skin aging. NOOANCE SPF 30 sunscreen , Thanks to our advanced formula, your skin stays young, radiant and protected from sun damage. This treatment with a light texture, penetrates quickly into the skin without a greasy or sticky effect.

3. Adopt antioxidant treatments

Antioxidants are valuable allies in the fight against premature aging. They protect the skin against damage caused by free radicals, unstable molecules generated by pollution, UV rays, or stress. Antioxidants such as pure vitamin C, vitamin E, or resveratrol can help neutralize these free radicals and protect your skin.

Vitamin C, in particular, is highly regarded for its brightening and collagen-boosting properties. It helps even out skin tone and strengthen the skin barrier.

4. Incorporate peptides into your routine

Peptides are protein fragments that help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Some peptides, such as Argireline (often called “botox-like”), work by relaxing facial muscles and reducing the repeated contractions that lead to the appearance of expression lines, also known as “frown lines”.

Other peptides, called biomimetics, mimic the skin's natural mechanisms to help it repair itself and produce the essential elements for its firmness. Incorporating skincare products containing these peptides, such as the Youth Serum with Copper Peptides, into your daily routine can therefore have a significant effect on preventing and reducing wrinkles.

5. Nourish the skin with ceramides

Ceramides are lipids naturally present in the skin, which contribute to the protective barrier. With age, their quantity decreases, which leads to a loss of hydration and a weakening of this barrier, making the skin more vulnerable. By integrating care products containing ceramides, you help your skin retain moisture and protect itself from external aggressions.

Strategies to Reduce Existing Wrinkles

If wrinkles are already present, there are effective solutions to reduce them and visibly smooth the skin.

1. Regular exfoliation

Exfoliation helps remove dead cells from the surface of the skin, revealing smoother, more radiant skin. Opt for a gentle exfoliation with acids like AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) or BHAs (beta hydroxy acids), which promote cell turnover and help refine fine lines.

2. Retinol to stimulate cell renewal

Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is one of the most studied and effective anti-aging ingredients. It promotes cell turnover, boosts collagen production, and reduces deep wrinkles. It’s best to gradually incorporate retinol into your routine, starting with low concentrations to avoid irritation.

3. Targeted care for spots and hyperpigmentation

Wrinkles and age spots often go hand in hand with skin aging. Use skincare products containing active ingredients such as tranexamic acid and azelaic acid to reduce the appearance of dark spots and even out skin tone.

Adopt a complete routine for youthful, glowing skin

Preventing and treating wrinkles requires a comprehensive approach. By incorporating moisturizing, protective, and restorative skincare into your daily routine , you can visibly improve the appearance of your skin.

• Deeply hydrate with hyaluronic acid-rich serums and nourishing creams containing ceramides.
• Protect your skin against UV rays with a suitable sunscreen.
• Repair and boost collagen production with skincare containing retinol, peptides, and powerful antioxidants.

Adopt these best practices today to protect your skin against the signs of aging and maintain a youthful, luminous appearance.
