How to Reduce Fine Lines
Our guide to anti-ageing, fine lines and wrinkles.
We understand that the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can be your biggest nightmare, but there are things you can do to minimise the appearance of those unwanted signs of ageing.
It’s also difficult to know what you should be using for your skin: What will work the fastest? What will give me the best results in the long term? What should I be using to prevent further lines and wrinkles?
That’s why we’ve put together our Pro Top Tips for the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as what you should be using to prevent further unwanted guests!
Pro Top Tips
COLLAGEN
Collagen is a protein that is formed in the body, which is known as Endogenous Collagen. However when you get to your twenties it can start to reduce by 1% per year, which is why we recommend taking supplements, also known as Exogenous Collagen.
Collagen helps to promote skin elasticity, along with other benefits, which many skin experts believe is one of the causes of ageing and fine lines as the collagen fibres are thinner.
We recommend using skincare products that contain collagen, or taking ingestibles and supplements that contain collagen.

VITAMINS
It’s always beneficial to add vitamins into your skincare routine, along with having a healthy diet. Vitamin C will help in firming, hydrating and brightening the skin, which is a key co-factor in the production of collagen.
You may want to use a product like an eye cream containing Vitamin C in its formula, or you might prefer to use a Vitamin C serum that can be applied to the entire face, which will also improve your skin tone and texture.

HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic acid attracts and binds moisture to the surface of the skin, keeping it hydrated, elastic and plump. We recommend using a hyaluronic acid product if you suffer from dullness, dehydration, congestion, as well as ageing.

TREATMENTS
Micro-needling is an advanced system that is made to trigger the skin’s natural healing response, which induces the production of collagen and elastin. This will leave the skin feeling smoother and rejuvenated.
At Activeskin Salon we have a Dermal Pen Pro Skin Needling System, so if you want to give this non-invasive treatment a go, head over to our site to book yourself in!
RETINOIDS
Retinoids are designed to help resurface and stimulate the skin’s renewal process, promoting the production of collagen. We don’t recommend using this in your daily skincare routine, but we advise you begin with just 2-3 evenings a week and then build up to daily use.

SPF
Skin protection from the sun and environmental pollutants is key to keeping your skin smooth, rejuvenated and youthful. Ensure you’re applying spf everyday and reapply frequently. Sun damage is one of the biggest causes of the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

These are just a few ways in which you can encourage the reduction of fine lines but we wouldn’t recommend adding all of these into your regime at once as your skin may react. Take it slow and think about the long term process!
