How to deal with wrinkles?

As we get older, every one of us will encounter wrinkles. Ageing is a completely natural process and new fine lines in the skin are part of it. Some are etched into the face by laughter, some by worry – but there are plenty of reasons, from sun exposure to an unhealthy lifestyle. 

So how can you effectively fight these signs of ageing with the help of Korean cosmetics? 

Main factors

The formation of wrinkles is of course influenced by our genetics, but the environment and our chosen lifestyle also play a role. By changing your lifestyle, you can prevent wrinkles or at least reduce them. 

Not drinking enough and an unhealthy, fat-rich diet are bad for our skin, as is smoking or spending time in a smoky environment, as well as excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine. 

Another mistake is unsuitable or insufficient skincare, especially dehydration. Also remember that at the end of the day it is always necessary to remove make-up and cleanse the skin of decorative cosmetics. For removing make-up, a cleansing toner such as Skin79 Make-up Remover and Cleansing Toner Jeju Aloe Aqua Toner with a high Aloe Vera content is suitable for sensitive skin, refreshes, soothes and prevents the skin from drying out. You can also reach for Holika Holika Aloe Cleansing Foam, whose gentle bubbles remove impurities and reduce imperfections. Aloe Vera leaf gel is also a great fighter against signs of ageing thanks to its anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, as it smooths and nourishes the skin even after a demanding day. 

Skin also suffers in the sun, so it is necessary to use the right creams with sufficient SPF. From our range, try for example the sunscreen Neogen Dermalogy Day Light Protection Airy Sunscreen with SPF 50++, which not only protects the skin from sunlight, but also from dust and other harmful influences, soothes it and deeply hydrates. For your holiday, pack for instance the water-resistant sunscreen Skin79 Waterproof Sun Gel – it hydrates and nourishes generously and will survive summer fun in the water. 

An important weapon against wrinkles is, of course, enough rest, sleep and a calm life without stress (as far as possible).

Make time for a massage too

Facial massages can be very beneficial – they relax your muscles, boost circulation, firm and smooth the skin. It is best to do the massage in the evening on previously cleansed skin. First cleanse your skin (we can recommend, for example, the cleansing foam Holika Holika Good Cera Super Ceramide Foaming Wash, which penetrates deep into the pores and cleanses away all impurities), then apply an anti-wrinkle cream or serum – your favourite may become the face cream The Saem Care Plus Baobab Collagen Cream, which has excellent firming effects and leaves the skin elastic. 

Then start with gentle strokes on the neck from bottom to top up to the face. From the space between the eyebrows, use your fingers to make semi-circular strokes towards the outer edge of the forehead and to the temples. Around the eyes, then trace circles from the bridge of the nose over the brow bones to the outer corners of the eyes, and then with a stroke under the eye move back to the starting point. On the cheeks, make half-arches from the nose under the cheekbones and from the chin to the temples. Finally, glide your fingers from the chin, around the mouth and up to the nose. 

Repeat this three times every evening – the results can be truly astonishing! 

Quality products can work wonders

It is good to start proper skincare as early as possible, and choosing quality products is key.
Cleanse your skin regularly, remove make-up and nourish it with creams, serums or masks. Your favourite helper against signs of ageing may be the regenerating cream with Centella Asiatica extract Purito Regenerating Face Cream Centella Green Level Recovery Cream or the unique face cream with a high proportion of snail extract (92%) Cosrx Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream. From time to time, treat your skin to quality sheet masks too. Discover the beauty secret of young Korean women and give your tired skin burdened by the first signs of ageing a feeling of rebirth, awakening its youthful elasticity and freshness thanks to a hydrating and nourishing anti-wrinkle mask such as Skin79 Seoul Girls Beauty Secret Wrinkle Care with hibiscus extracts. The mask Holika Holika Pure Essence Mask Sheet - Cucumber is also definitely worth trying; its formula with rosewood helps to prevent further wrinkles.
Be detailed in your care and focus on the eye area too, where facial expressions are noticeable and it is therefore a rich breeding ground for wrinkles. For greater elasticity around the eyes, apply an eye cream such as Benton Fermentation Eye Cream, which richly nourishes the skin and restores youthful freshness, or for example the eye cream Skin79 Golden Snail Intensive Eye Cream, whose unique formula with snail slime will amaze you with its effects. 

And one more little miracle to finish Kahi Miracle Multi-Purpose Balm Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm a multi-purpose moisturising balm with a salmon complex and collagen. It has strong anti-ageing effects, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and can also be used as a lip balm.
