Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

As the skin ages it loses elasticity and gets drier, which we all know results in those dreaded fine lines and wrinkles. Most people start developing them by the age of 30 to 35. Excessive sun exposure is known to accelerate the aging process.

To combat fine lines and wrinkles, use a gentle exfoliator, such as Placenta Intensive Deep Peeling Gel (an Annagaspi product), hydrate the face with nourishing creams daily, preferably at night with a conditioning cream. Always protect your skin with SPF 15  or higher sunscreen. You can find an array of make-up  or BB creams that are geared to minimising the look of aging while still protecting your skin from the sun’s rays.

Try not to use a heavy foundation as this can often age the look of your skin and make the pores look enlarged. Because of our hectic lifestyles these days, make-up or BB cream needs to be long lasting. Using a long-lasting make-up or BB cream can become your best ally.

Be sure to remove make-up every evening before bed and it is always best to double cleanse. I have heard many people over the years say double cleansing is not necessary.

Well, l certainly want to make sure my skin is well cleansed before I retire. The first cleanse removes make-up, dirt and grime from the skin, and the second cleanse makes sure your skin is squeaky clean and that any remaining traces of dirt or make-up are removed. This is no different to cleaning your teeth, for example, you brush back and forth making sure all teeth are cleaned and all food is removed and nothing is left behind.
