We all want to grow old, but wrinkles on our faces? We'd rather not see them. Discovering those first facial wrinkles feels like a little reality check. Fortunately, there are ways to soften, delay, or even partially prevent them. In this blog post, we share 10 tips for reducing facial wrinkles and investigate whether they actually work.

Where do wrinkles occur?

The first wrinkles often appear on your face and are therefore the most visible. Typical areas?

Place 1: Wrinkles under eyes

Crow's feet and fine lines develop early here. The skin here is thin and fragile, and often in flux.

Spot 2: Wrinkles above the lip

Smokers, in particular, develop vertical lines here. The skin is sensitive and moves a lot when talking and laughing.

Spot 3: Forehead wrinkles

Frown lines and lines of surprise are caused by facial expressions and stress. It's good to take care of these in time.

Place 4: Decolleté wrinkles

Sleep wrinkles are common in this area, especially in side sleepers. Sun and sagging skin also play a role.

All tips for combating facial wrinkles in a row

Be kind to yourself and your skin. Wrinkles are part of life, but with these tips, you can keep your skin looking its best. Read all our tips here:

Tip 1: Protect your skin from UV every day

Sunlight is responsible for about 90% of facial wrinkles. UVA rays (the "A" for aging) are always present, even in winter and indoors. Choose an SPF of 30 or higher, like Glowy Face Cream SPF 50. This sunscreen provides nourishment and protection in one.

Tip 2: Stop smoking

Smoking constricts blood vessels and accelerates collagen breakdown. The result? Less oxygen and nutrients for your skin cells. This causes facial wrinkles to develop much sooner. Time to quit!

Tip 3: Use a peeling

Dead skin cells keep your complexion looking dull. A gentle exfoliant, like Active Peeling , removes dead cells and stimulates cell renewal. Your skin looks fresher and smoother, and wrinkles are less noticeable.

Tip 4: Sleep on your back

Did you know that sleeping on your side contributes to facial wrinkles? Sleep lines are especially likely to appear in your décolleté and around your eyes. Sleep on your back and use a satin pillowcase to reduce friction.

Tip 5: Use a good eye cream

The skin around your eyes is thin and sensitive. You can effectively address wrinkles under your eyes with an eye product like It 's Never Too Late Eye Balm or a cream from the eye cream collection . Hydrate and firm this area daily.

Tip 6: Hydrate with hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture and temporarily plumps up fine lines. You'll find it in serums within our facial serum collection , or in Hyaluron 2.0 Face Gel . Consistent use visually softens facial wrinkles.

Tip 7: Try magnesium oil for facial wrinkles

Magnesium is important for cell renewal. Magnesium oil for facial wrinkles is a popular DIY solution. Evidence is limited, but using it can have relaxing and hydrating effects. Be careful with skin irritation.

Tip 8: Vaseline on the face against wrinkles

Vaseline forms a protective layer and locks in moisture. Applying Vaseline to your face to combat wrinkles can help prevent dryness, especially at night. Use it as the last step over your other skincare products.

Tip 9: Adjust your diet

Sugar breaks down collagen and accelerates facial wrinkles. Choose a diet rich in antioxidants (berries, green tea, nuts) and drink plenty of water. Alcohol and skin aging also don't mix: alcohol is dehydrating and accelerates skin aging.

Tip 10: Choose the right products

Choose products that truly support your skin. In our collection of face creams , skincare products , and bestsellers , you'll find products with retinol, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants. These are proven active ingredients for facial wrinkles.
