At what age is it recommended to use anti wrinkle cream?

Still in childhood, girls learn to take care of beauty. Up to the age of 15, the priority list ranges from clothing, shoes and accessories. After this age, the worry extends to the body and the battles against stretch marks and cellulite begin. But what about the skin, the face? What will be the ideal time to combat facial aging?

Fine lines and the dreaded wrinkles can already be noticed on the female face from 25 years. They appear mainly in the eye area and forehead and later begin to form around the mouth. But it is not at the moment when they arise that corrective actions should begin. The ideal is to prevent.


In fact, care to prevent skin aging begins even in childhood. "Sunscreen is considered by many to be the best weapon against our enemies (wrinkles) and should be used from six months of age daily," says dermatologist Giselle Domingues Sanches. It is important to remember that using sunscreen alone does not feature a wrinkle treatment, however, it helps maintain healthy skin and prevents the appearance of wrinkles.

To know when to start wrinkle prevention and correction treatments, it is best to consult a dermatologist. • Cosmetic treatment, as it is technically called anti-wrinkle treatment, should start with a visit to the dermatologist. It encompasses products suitable for cleansing, sun protection and skin hydration. Other features such as botox, fill and laser can complement it and provide the patient with a faster and more natural rejuvenation, recommends Dr. Giselle.

Wrinkles gain strength from 30 years. Even so, the initiation of treatment varies from woman to woman because wrinkles appear due to distinct factors such as genetic tendency, skin color, skin type, sun exposure and diet. The dermatologist of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, Giselle Domingues explains what happens physically to the appearance of wrinkles: "basically, what happens is the breakdown of collagen and elastin, substances that give the skin sustainability."


Care When Choosing Your Anti-Wrinkle Cream

The choice of anti wrinkle cream is delicate. The market offers products that promise to end wrinkles but are actually inefficient. Choosing creams in catalogs can induce the patient to opt for unnecessary products. Some brands contain dyes and perfumes that can cause allergy and active ingredients ranging from moisturizers to acids that can dry out the skin ?, warns Dr. Giselle.

It is important to respect the age recommended by the cream label. This recommendation is based on the texture of the product, the older the recommended age, the more oily anti-wrinkle will be. What does that mean? If a cream recommended for the age of 50, for example, is applied to a skin of 30 may clog the pores and cause a bad result.

To achieve the goal of keeping a face free of marks, the woman should take care even in the period when the skin has no wrinkles or expression lines and, when the signs of aging begin to appear, attention should be redoubled.
