Anti-wrinkle: choosing an effective cream
Wrinkles need no introduction!
Yet do you know how they form? Your skin is naturally made up of grooves that ensure its elasticity. With age, these grooves tend to deepen, which creates wrinkles… Fortunately, a good anti-wrinkle treatment can smooth them out!
Discover the effect of snail slime on these small imperfections, and our tips for choosing the right anti-wrinkle cream.
Anti-wrinkle creams: myths and facts
"Anti-wrinkle and anti-aging are the same thing."
False! These two treatments shouldn't be confused, as each has its own role. An anti-aging cream fights and acts on all signs of aging: wrinkles, fine lines, skin marks. It's therefore a comprehensive anti-aging treatment. An anti-wrinkle cream, on the other hand, targets only wrinkles. Fairly logical given the name.
"An anti-wrinkle cream is applied only to wrinkles."
False! Even though an anti-wrinkle cream only acts on wrinkles, we shouldn't forget the ones we can't see yet. In addition to treating existing wrinkles, your anti-wrinkle treatment should also help prevent new ones from forming. So apply it over your entire face with a gentle massage, focusing on visible wrinkles, and don't forget your neckline, which unfortunately isn't spared by age either.
"An anti-wrinkle treatment is used daily."
True! An anti-wrinkle cream isn't a product to use only occasionally, like some treatments. It should replace the moisturizer you were previously using. For maximum effectiveness on your wrinkles, we recommend using your anti-wrinkle cream morning and evening.
"At 25, an anti-wrinkle cream is a must."
False! Unlike anti-aging care, which can be used starting at age 25, anti-wrinkle treatment is better saved for age 35. It's really from that age onward that the skin begins to thin and requires special care. So there's no need to splurge on an overpriced anti-wrinkle cream — your usual moisturizer can still do the job for a while longer.
Vitamin C, your ally in fighting wrinkles!
Naturally present in snail slime, it acts as a daily protective shield.
A comprehensive action against aging.
This vitamin has multiple benefits for preserving your face's youthful look. It helps reduce melanin production, which visibly fades dark spots and evens out your complexion.
Thanks to its antioxidant power, it also protects your skin from external aggressors such as the sun, pollution or oxidative stress. It's a valuable ally for keeping skin healthy and full of life.
A secret for firmness and elasticity.
What makes Vitamin C essential in your skincare is its ability to stimulate collagen synthesis. This protein is essential, as it ensures the resistance and suppleness of your tissue.
By promoting this natural production, Vitamin C helps fill in wrinkles from within and restore firmness to your face. This is what makes it a powerful anti-wrinkle active ingredient, while remaining very gentle for even the most sensitive skin.
Do you know what your moisturizer is made of?
On one side, you have the oil-based part, and on the other, the water-based part. This is called an emulsion. Without it, your cream can't be effective. What does this mean for your cosmetic products?
In conventional cosmetics, manufacturers may use petroleum derivatives for oils. We can already picture your disgusted face right now, and yet it's true. Besides being harmful to health, it's completely ineffective for your skin, but it's cheaper for brands. Rest assured, there's a solution: organic!
In organic cosmetics, the use of petrochemical oils is strictly prohibited, so there's no risk to your skin. So what's used instead? Nothing but natural ingredients, and specifically plant oils! Provided they're high quality, they'll ensure the effectiveness of the active ingredients in your anti-wrinkle cream. Of course, its effectiveness also depends on the percentage of active ingredients present. Be sure to read the ingredient lists carefully!
