Complete Guide to Wrinkles π
The easiest wrinkles to care for are the wrinkles you never get.
Wear antioxidants and sunscreen RELIGIOUSLY!
Each and every day, the most important feature in your skin care routine should be applying Vitamin C and sunscreen. 365 days a year, whether you are staying inside, working from home, snowing or raining, use Vitamin C and Sunscreen. Weβre constantly getting bombarded by free radical damage from all directions from the sun, pollution and even blue light from our screens (yes, your phone and computer!) Free radical damage causes wrinkles. Wearing daily protection does the most to prevent wrinkles from forming.Avoid the sun.
Sun causes wrinkles. You may not see it in your teens and 20βs but you will notice the damage later! Wrinkled, leathery, spotted, creepy skin will catch up to you. Facial wrinkles and wrinkles on the arms, knees and body will come back to haunt you.
How to minimize wrinkles you already have:
Use a Vitamin A product.
Products like the over-the-counter Retinol or the prescription Tretinoin are excellent for wrinkles. Retinoids help stimulate collagen, improve blood flow and promote healing. Retinoids are the gold standard for wrinkles.Keep your skin super hydrated.
Keep it moist, plump and glowy and it will look less leathery and dry. Products that are particularly great for plumping are Hyaluronic Acid (donβt be scared, itβs not an acid that burns) which holds many times its weight in water. We love HA Intensifier specifically because it helps you create more of your own HA. I love to top it off and layer on Triple Lipid Restore.Resurface, resurface, resurface.
We have several excellent devices and modalities to soften and resurface the skin. From Chemical Peels, Plasma, Microneedling, RF Microneedling or Laser Resurfacing, these treatments will give you softer, less wrinkled skin. Consider combination therapies and several treatments to achieve the best results.
