They are the adornment of a wise face… Yet sometimes they appear too early, or there are suddenly too many of them. Find out how to keep wrinkles under control.
Whether you’re 25 and noticing the first signs of ageing on your skin, or 55 and already have deep wrinkles, you’re probably looking for ways to slow down the ageing process. While skin ageing is inevitable, today’s technologies and skills can help you manage it effectively.

Fine lines – may appear on the face or body. They are caused by a loss of skin elasticity due to reduced collagen production.
Elastic creases – over time, they may become permanent. They most often appear on the face above the upper lip and on the lower part of the neck. They are mainly caused by sun exposure and smoking.
Dynamic expression wrinkles – wrinkles caused by muscle movements. At first, they are visible only when frowning or smiling, but gradually become more noticeable.
Wrinkles caused by natural ageing – the skin becomes thinner, loses elasticity and firmness, and gradually starts to sag and weaken, losing its ability to protect itself from external damage.
Wrinkles around the mouth become more visible with age. They are caused by the loosening connective tissue around the mouth and chin. If your grandmother or mother has deep wrinkles, it’s very likely that you’ll have them too. In addition to genetics, their formation is influenced by smoking, weight fluctuations, sun exposure, and, of course, ageing.
In this case as well, prevention is the best treatment. For wrinkles around the mouth, we recommend using products containing hyaluronic acid, which effectively fills fine lines, eating a diet rich in antioxidants, and consistently protecting the skin from the sun.
The best way to prevent the formation of forehead wrinkles is to stop frowning. Forehead wrinkles are caused not only by frowning but also by stress, insufficient sun protection, exhaustion, and ageing. You can’t hide from them forever, but you can significantly reduce them.
Dehydrated skin is more prone to wrinkles. This is especially true for forehead wrinkles. You can restore skin hydration not only by drinking water but also by spraying water on your face during the day.
Don’t forget creams—apply them every morning and evening. Although a cream won’t smooth out every wrinkle, it will slow their deepening and the formation of new ones.
There are various home remedies that can help reduce the formation of wrinkles, but not all of them are suitable for the delicate skin around the eyes. The skin around the eyes reacts more sensitively to external factors and cosmetics. Use skincare products that are gentle on the skin and ideally formulated specifically for this area of the face. Eye creams with vitamin E help protect the skin around the eyes from wrinkles, as vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant with excellent moisturizing properties. Coconut oil has similar effects and should be gently massaged into the skin. For already formed crow’s feet around the eyes, try products containing hyaluronic acid or collagen.
A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids is also important, along with sufficient quality sleep, proper hydration, and avoiding alcohol, smoking, and strong sunlight.
Expression wrinkles most often appear on the forehead and around the corners of the mouth. Their formation is linked not only to frequent muscle movements—especially frowning and smiling—but also to the loss of collagen. Look at children on the playground: one moment they are laughing, the next they are crying, yet their faces remain smooth, firm, and elastic. As we age, the skin becomes thinner, and the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid decreases. Muscle tension becomes stronger than the skin’s elasticity, and muscle contractions begin to form wrinkles.
How can you reduce expression wrinkles? By restoring skin elasticity, maintaining regular skincare routines, and using cosmetic products with the right nourishing ingredients.
