5 myths about treating wrinkles

Due to the vast amount of information on the Internet, social media, in magazines and on television, there are many myths about organs.

What causes wrinkles?

Skin aging (unnatural) is caused by external factors such as sun, smoking, unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol consumption, sleeping habits.

Let's take a look at the 5 most popular myths about wrinkles:

Myth #1: Anti-aging care is universal.

In fact, ingredients like vitamin C, flavonoids, niacinamide, alpha hydroxy acids and vitamin E are very effective. They help neutralize free radicals that damage the skin, correct signs of aging, protect against the sun, brighten and tone the skin, and help it repair itself.

However, ingredients and products that work for you may not work for someone else and vice versa. Age, skin color and type, skin diseases, and the climate you live in are factors that should influence your skin care routine.

Remember that most anti-aging products take at least six weeks to show results - sometimes longer - so be patient.

Myth 2: At 25, all your wrinkles are predetermined

In fact, it is at this age that wrinkles appear due to the loss of collagen, the structural protein of the skin. After age 20, we lose 1% of our skin's collagen per year. Exposure to the sun is the reason to accelerate the aging process of the skin.

Myth 3: Serums are harmless

Hydration can help prevent moisture loss and maintain your skin's lipid barrier. You can choose a moisturizer that contains the right anti-aging ingredients, however remember that serums penetrate the skin at a deeper level, and if they are of poor quality, they can accelerate the skin's aging process.

Myth 4: Using skin care products in a downward motion causes wrinkles.

Myth 5: Removing wrinkles is very expensive

We must put quality before quantity. If you can afford an anti-aging cream, serums are a better choice . Serums are highly concentrated formulations designed to deliver intense doses of ingredients deep into the skin. Of course, for them to be effective, you have to pay attention to the quality of the ingredients.

Anti-aging patches are the best solution: they are not excessively expensive, of very good quality (the silicone is medical grade, therefore absolutely healthy for the body), and are reusable.

However, patches that are not made of medical silicone like we can find on Amazon will have no effect on your skin , because they do not retain the skin's natural moisture.
