Skin: how to avoid wrinkles?

As we age, it's completely normal to notice small marks on our skin. These are wrinkles, and they generally form on sensitive and fragile areas such as the face, neck, and décolleté.

Wrinkles are caused by a decrease in the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Cellular aging is the primary cause of wrinkles; with age, skin becomes increasingly fragile and wrinkled.

The appearance of wrinkles is also associated with health, diet, skincare, sun exposure, and pollution. All of these factors contribute to sagging and loss of skin elasticity. The most common wrinkles are those around the eyes and frown lines on the forehead.

Here are some easy tips to apply in your daily life to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and preserve the beauty of your skin .

 

• Take care of and moisturize your skin

 To delay the appearance of wrinkles as much as possible, it's important to ensure optimal skin hydration. Every day, it's important to apply a hydrating serum or moisturizer rich in essential ingredients for skin beauty, such as antioxidants (vitamins C and E, polyphenols, selenium, etc.). These help protect the skin from external aggressions, as well as firm it and restore its density.

As a skincare guide, applying vegetable oils is highly recommended to prevent and reduce wrinkles thanks to their powerful nourishing effect. The best oils for skin are argan oil, rosehip oil, evening primrose oil, and borage oil. Their regenerative, antioxidant, anti-aging, and softening properties are ideal for preventing deep wrinkles.

 

• Have a good diet

To stay fit and maintain healthy skin , a healthy, balanced diet is essential. Certain nutrients contribute to the skin's suppleness and hydration.

To do this, you need to eat as much fruit and vegetables as you want every day, especially those that are rich in antioxidants such as raspberries, apricots, cherries, artichokes, beets and avocados.

Omega 3 sources are also to be favored such as salmon, olive oil, tuna or even spinach.

Finally, you should focus on proteins (poultry, meat, soy, tofu, etc.) because they ensure the synthesis of the different fibers that make up the skin, such as collagen (a protein that slows down the effects of skin aging).

To maintain healthy skin, Délicure has launched hair gummies : vegan, natural, sugar-free, and made in France. Their composition, rich in blueberry, vitamins (B6, B8, B9, B12, and E), and trace elements (zinc and selenium), is targeted for beautiful skin, hair, and nails.

These products do not cause any side effects and should be used as part of a healthy lifestyle.

In addition to a healthy diet, it's essential to stay hydrated from the inside out. Drinking enough water (between 1.5L and 2L of water per day) helps keep your skin fresh and plump, and prevents the appearance of wrinkles.

Apart from drinking water, drinking green tea is also beneficial in preventing skin cell damage, it is a powerful natural antioxidant.

At the same time, you should avoid consuming alcohol and tobacco because they alter the skin's microcirculation and lead to premature aging of the skin, which becomes dry, dull and wrinkled.

• Protect yourself from the sun

The sun is one of the skin's worst enemies. Some of its rays, UVA and UVB, are harmful to the skin because they cause damage within cells that deteriorate collagen and elastin fibers. This is known as photoaging (premature skin aging).

To protect yourself from the sun and prevent premature aging of the skin, you must choose a good sunscreen suited to your skin type.

When exposed to the sun, regardless of sunscreen products, they must be applied every two hours.

Another tip: to avoid sunburn (burns and inflammation of the skin), it is advisable not to expose yourself during the hottest hours, i.e. between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.

Aside from the sun, pollution also causes damage to the skin. Pollution particles present in the environment promote oxidative stress and cause the appearance of signs of aging such as wrinkles, loss of radiance, and firmness. It is therefore very important to take care of your skin regularly.

• Massage your face

In addition to caring for and moisturizing your skin, a facial massage is very effective for reducing fatigue and smoothing out fine lines. It should be gentle and performed delicately to avoid damaging or damaging the skin tissue.

There are three types of targeted massage:

- To combat the small wrinkles that appear at the outer corners of the eyes, also called "crow's feet", massage this area using small circles with your fingers.
- To reduce horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, you need to make a repeated movement from the center of the forehead towards the temples.
- For wrinkles between the eyebrows, you should start massaging from the nostrils towards the jawbone, or from the corner of the mouth towards the jawbone.

Bonus: the massage can be performed while applying a moisturizer to boost its effectiveness.

• Cartidyss collagen, a valuable anti-aging ally

The Cartidyss® marine collagen contained in our collagen capsules is an effective and scientifically validated solution to fight wrinkles and visibly improve the appearance of the skin. Thanks to its unique formulation combining type II marine collagen peptides and essential glycosaminoglycans such as hyaluronic acid, chondroitin and glucosamine, Cartidyss® actively stimulates the natural synthesis of collagen and elastin, two key proteins for skin firmness and elasticity. Its low molecular weight (<3000 Da) allows for optimal assimilation by the body, acting deep down to improve the density (+38%) and thickness of the dermis (+10%). Clinical studies have shown that daily supplementation of just 500 mg for 90 days leads to a significant reduction in wrinkles of up to 25%, particularly around the eyes and mouth. The skin thus appears plumped up, smoother and better hydrated, with a notable improvement in its overall texture and texture, confirming Cartidyss® as an essential ingredient in anti-aging nutricosmetics.

• Get quality sleep

Getting good quality sleep allows your skin to regenerate better and repair itself against the various attacks it may face. It is therefore very important to get enough sleep at night to maintain your skin's radiance.

A poor night's sleep can lead to fine lines, pigmentation differences, and a loss of elasticity. Over the long term, poor sleep can cause premature skin aging.

To ensure quality sleep, Délicure offers Sleep gummies , enriched with melatonin (sleep hormone), relaxing plants (passion flower, linden and poppy) and vitamins (B5 and B6). They promote faster falling asleep, help limit waking up during the night, and thus contribute to better quality sleep.
