This is the question you ask us most often. In recent years, many of you have chosen to avoid classic anti-aging techniques such as treatments containing retinol (retinoids) or botox injections in order to favor more natural and skin-friendly methods. But what is the best solution to maintain plump skin for longer and effectively smooth wrinkles?
It is first important to understand how skin works and why fine lines and wrinkles appear before you can find the right solution.
What is the difference between a fine line and a wrinkle?
We generally speak of fine lines to define shallow wrinkles which very lightly mark the skin but create small furrows which can appear very early, from the twenties. These fine lines are most often the result of a lack of hydration in the skin and can deepen over time to transform into wrinkles.
A wrinkle will be deeper and most often located on the parts of the face which are most stimulated by everyday expressions such as the forehead with the Lion's wrinkle or the outer corners of the eyes with the famous crow's feet wrinkle. . These wrinkles are also linked to the drop in production of elastin, a protein naturally present in the skin which allows it to maintain its elasticity.
