After 25 years of age, collagen production in the skin decreases, so it is worth introducing an effective anti-wrinkle care to enjoy a young appearance for as long as possible.

The exposome, or the cumulative influence of environmental, behavioural, and hormonal factors, affects the amount of collagen in the skin. Among the factors that increase its physiological loss the most noteworthy are: exposure to sunlight, air pollution, climate change, stress, quality of sleep and smoking.

However, by acting intentionally, we can slow down the loss of collagen in the skin and delay the occurrence of the signs of aging in the skin.

In conclusion, exposome may accelerate skin aging or, with the right care and a healthy lifestyle, slow it down or even reverse the process. A lot depends on our decisions and choices, too.

One of the most important substances that can be used all year round is vitamin C, as well as peptides and hyaluronic acid.
 

Vitamin C – has antioxidant properties, eliminates the negative consequences of free radicals and accelerates the epidermal regeneration cycle. This way it supports the effects of cosmetics, improving the appearance of the skin: it helps to achieve softer, smoother, more moisturised and brighter skin.

Collagen peptides – their powerful anti-wrinkle action involves counteracting the signs of collagen loss in the skin. By stimulating collagen production in the skin, they help to visibly improve its elasticity, reduce wrinkles and give the skin a firmer, smoother appearance. Moreover, peptides have the ability to increase collagen production in the skin by as much as... 8 times!

Hyaluronic acid – has a unique ability to bind water molecules, thus ensuring proper hydration, it firms and smoothens fine lines and wrinkles.

It is also important to choose products that offer a broad spectrum of action.

Stimulation of collagen fibres, thickening and hydration of the skin. The skin must achieve balance in order to actively build collagen fibres.

It is never too early for prevention – which is exactly what anti-wrinkle care is all about. This may be compared to physical activity. We don’t postpone practicing sports until it’s bad, we just exercise regularly. We simply know we have to move to be healthy. The same rule applies to the skin. We need to start taking action to keep our skin beautiful and healthy. This is where I should bust the myth that under the influence of anti-wrinkle products, the skin may become “lazy”. Some women tend to think that if they reach for anti-aging skincare at 25, they will have nothing left when they’re 50. Quite the contrary! It is late introduction of this kind of care that makes us unhappy with our appearance at a mature age.
