Questions & Answers

Wrinkles: where do they come from?

Wrinkles come from the deterioration of elastic fibres and collagen in our skin.

Internal factors:
1 – Use of facial muscles throughout our lives that lead to the formation of “expression lines”
2 – Ageing process – with a genetic influence, meaning than skins all age and acquire wrinkles differently
3 – Hormonal changes, especially during menopause

External factors:
1 – Exposure to UVA and UVB radiation, in other words exposure to the sun. This is the reason why protecting your skin from the sun, with sun-care products, is very important
2 – Lifestyle: diet, stress, lack of sleep and of course smoking all contribute to the ageing of the skin, and the apparition of wrinkles

A healthy lifestyle, good skincare habits and the use of good quality skin products (cosmetics, makeup, sun-care products, etc.) can help slow down the formation of wrinkles.
