My anti-aging and firming routine

Wrinkles & Fine Lines: the ideal anti-aging routine

Over time, certain aspects of our epidermis change, and this anti-aging process can be accentuated by external aggressors (pollution, sun) and our lifestyle (stress, diet, smoking). In fact, our skin tells a story, our story, and everything it has recorded "in memory" rises to the surface over the years and can be read on our features. At the heart of the skin, collagen and elastin fibers dissociate and become less numerous, cell renewal slows down, leading to a loss of elasticity. The epidermis becomes less smooth and less dense. The composition of the hydrolipidic film changes: the skin becomes drier, less well nourished and moisturized. This guide will give you all the beauty advice you need to keep your skin firm and toned.

Why do wrinkles form?

We are not all equal when it comes to skin aging, as it depends on many factors, including : 

• Our genetics. But, rest assured, only 20% of the signs signs of aging are linked to your genetic make-up... That's why it's so important to take good care of your skin to slow the appearance of wrinkles wrinkles and fine linesand prevent skin slackening.
• Environmental factors to which the skin is subjected: free radicals, excessive sun exposure, stress and pollution are all elements that put a strain on skin cells and activate the skin aging.
• Bad habits such as smoking, lack of sleep and sugar abuse also play a part in the loss of elasticity and tone. A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are your best allies in maintaining healthy skin.
• Faced with all these factors, the skin begins to show its first signs of weakness, often around the age of 30, when collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production slows down. From the age of 40 onwards, these changes become more pronounced, and this is when the first expression lines appear. 

At Oh My Cream, we don't advocateanti-aging oranti-wrinkle at all costs, quite the contrary. We know that skin aging is a natural process, and our idea is rather to accompany the skin with specific treatments that will reveal all its beauty and radiance, on a daily basis.

The different types of wrinkles on the face

The first signs of ageing appear in the eyes: dark circles and bags under the eyes are the main signs of fatigue. Then, other changes take place in the dermis and epidermis: fine dehydration lines and the first expression lines appear. dehydration lines and the first expression lines appear. start to appear. Among these, the most frequent are frown lines (between the eyebrows), forehead wrinkles and wrinkles around the eyes. The lip contour is also a particularly sensitive area, as the skin there is also particularly thin. To support the skin, targeted complementary care such as a firming or smoothing "anti-ageing" serum, a good eye contour cream or a nourishing lip care product will be super assets for the skin.

Our tips for avoiding wrinkles

To maximize results, I add a few specific anti-aging specific anti-aging gestures to my routine. Eye contour care, radiance-boosting serum, firming cream... I choose from among these adapted and targeted treatments to give myself the most complete routine.

DOs for an effective anti-aging routine

- Adopt an SPF protection factor all year round: the sun remains the leading factor in skin ageing, and is also the main cause of pigmentation spots...

- Use make-up as a "radiance booster". Choose a foundation with adjustable coverage like Ilia Serum Foundation to even out and blur small imperfections, while maintaining a natural look.

- Book a deep-acting treatment at least once a month. It's a must for boosting at-home treatments and for even deeper action on wrinkles, firmness and blemishes. Ask our boutiques for more information!

DON'Ts that don't help against skin ageing

- Neglecting the neck and chest: it would be a shame to pamper our face and not extend our care to these areas, which are all too often forgotten and just as often exposed!

- We don't necessarily know it, but sugar abuse also has a direct impact on mature skin: it binds to elastin fibers and breaks them up, leading to an irreversible lack of firmness.

- Thinking that wrinkled skin isn't pretty: mature skin that's well cared for is always very luminous, and wrinkles are also a sign of a happy, full life...
