How to create a youthful skin impression

In their 40s and 50s, many people will start to have wrinkles that they didn’t care about before.

For those who don’t know what to do, we will teach you the knowledge and techniques that lead to ageless skin. Please refer to it and review your care from tomorrow.

Types, characteristics, and causes of wrinkles that can occur in your 40s and 50s

There are various conditions and causes depending on the part where wrinkles are formed. We will briefly explain the types, characteristics, and causes of wrinkles that are likely to be worrisome when you are in your 40s and 50s.

Expression wrinkles
Neck, eyebrow wrinkles, forehead wrinkles / crow’s feet (crispy wrinkles at the corners of the eyes)

Wrinkles due to changes in facial expressions basically recover quickly. However, if the skin is not firm or the same movement is applied frequently, wrinkles will tend to settle without returning to the original state.

Depending on the part where wrinkles are formed, it is possible that many years of facial expression habits are affecting it. In particular, wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows may be related to years of eye contact, facial expressions, and work of staring at small letters and computers.

Dry wrinkles (epidermal wrinkles)
such as wrinkles around the eyes and mouth

Lack of moisture makes it easier for fine and shallow wrinkles to form on the surface of the skin (stratum corneum). Crepe-shaped and linear wrinkles are likely to be a concern for many people in their 30s.

Moisturizing as soon as possible won’t make it worse, but if care is neglected or inadequate, wrinkles will gradually deepen. It will also increase the difficulty of improving it with care.

In addition to dryness inside and outside the skin, UV damage (photoaging) and disturbance of turnover due to hormonal imbalance are also contributing factors.

Fine wrinkles (dermis wrinkles)
Dry wrinkles have progressed and the depth of the wrinkles has reached the depths of the skin (dermis).

It is more likely to appear when dryness progresses, or when skin function declines due to insufficient care or aging.

Sagging wrinkles
Nasolabial folds, wrinkles under the eyes, wrinkles under the neck, golgo lines, marionette lines, etc.

Sagging wrinkles appear when the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and fascia sag and sink. Due to the effects of saccharification due to aging, collagen and elastin, which control firmness, decrease.

Skincare aiming to improve wrinkles in the 40s and 50s

We will tell you the points of skin care that people in their 40s and 50s should be aware of. Try to add it to your daily habits as much as you can.

Thorough moisturizing and firmness care
As mentioned in the cause chapter, moisturizing is the key to preventing the progression from “shallow wrinkles” to “deep wrinkles”. It also helps prevent other skin problems, so let’s do more thorough moisturizing care than ever before.

Typical moisturizing ingredients are hyaluronic acid, collagen, ceramide, and amino acids. Also, pay attention to firming ingredients such as elastin, vitamin C derivatives, retinol, and astaxanthin.

Use serums and creams that can be expected to improve wrinkles
For deep wrinkles that have already formed (dermal wrinkles, facial wrinkles), we recommend serums and creams that can be expected to improve wrinkles.

Quasi-drugs containing wrinkle-improving active ingredients such as niacinamide have been recognized to be effective in approaching wrinkles in the epidermis and dermis, which has been difficult with cosmetics (quasi-drugs).

Let’s add it as a special care item to basic care such as lotion and milky lotion.

Complete UV care
Use sunscreen regardless of the weather or season to thoroughly block UV rays that lead to wrinkles. Please use parasols, clothes, hats, etc.

Get a massage
Massage is also effective in loosening tight muscles and softening the skin. Try to lift your skin from the bottom to the top with a force that feels comfortable. Use massage cream to avoid friction, and be careful not to apply too much force.

Summary

The wrinkles you notice every time you look in the mirror don’t just appear. It’s important to understand how wrinkles change with age and what their possible causes are. The causes of wrinkles are complex and diverse, but let’s take early care.
