From around the age of 25, cell activity begins to decrease. This means that your skin loses its elasticity, and the first wrinkles form. Three essential components influence skin aging:  

• recovered
• environmental factors
• Individual lifestyle

Although you cannot influence the first factor, we have good news: The skin aging process can be significantly delayed with proper skin care, a healthy lifestyle, and proven anti-aging methods. The term ‘anti-aging‘ includes all treatments, products, and measures that slow down the process of skin aging.

Anti-aging facial massage

Although the new generation of anti-aging products convinces with impressive ingredients, there is one beauty remedy that has proven itself in the fight against the signs of the times for thousands of years: facial massage.

It is one of the oldest beauty secrets and was already used by the ancient Egyptians to counteract small wrinkles. Wrinkles are not only caused by the loss of elasticity in the skin but also by tension in the facial muscles.

Those who often overstrain their eyes or frown frequently produce expression lines. These muscular hardenings relax relatively quickly but ‘dig’ into the face over time.  The uncomplicated hand movements of the ‘facial massage’ stimulate your blood circulation again and give your face a rosy radiance.

In the long term, your skin will become more elastic and plump, small wrinkles will be smoothed out, and your entire facial expression will appear softer and more relaxed. By the way: After a facial massage, serums and oils can be better worked into your skin and thus increase the effect of the stimulating massage.

Anti-Aging Serums and Concentrates

To support your skin with serums and concentrates, you can rely on retinol serums and collagen capsules.

Thanks to its unique molecular structure, retinol can penetrate the deepest layers of your skin and boost your body’s collagen production. Collagen helps maintain your skin’s natural moisture levels and elasticity. Used regularly, you can demonstrably reduce visible wrinkles.

An excellent addition to serums is collagen capsules. They help to compensate for the lack of collagen from the inside. How it works: By taking the pills, the collagen is transported to where your body needs it. With positive Consequences: The elasticity, resilience, and firmness of the skin are improved, your skin appears plumper and firmer – and wrinkles are smoothed out.

No nicotine, little or no alcohol

Cigarettes should be taboo because they poison your skin and constrict blood vessels. Smoking attacks your skin cells and drastically reduces blood circulation.

But you should also avoid alcohol if you want to benefit from your youthful skin for a long time because alcohol is dehydrating. You not only notice this from the headache you have the day after the party but also from the general condition of your skin if you drink alcohol frequently. Because alcohol removes water from the skin cells, your skin is less able to regenerate, ages faster, and forms more wrinkles.

Better: If you have an acute craving, go for blueberries, raspberries, black currants, peppers, and strawberries, because they contain plenty of vitamin C, which protects your skin from cell damage.
