Lines and wrinkles can seem like an inevitable part of ageing unless you’re a celebrity that somehow manages to defy the ageing process. However, the truth is that many lines are not wrinkles, they are actually dehydration lines and can be easily eliminated.
You simply need to understand the difference between wrinkles and dehydration lines as well as what to do about them. It should be noted that both can be reduced or eliminated when you use high-quality skincare products.
Wrinkles
Wrinkles are much deeper than dehydration lines. This type of ageing line doesn’t change daily although the wrinkle will gradually get more pronounced over several years. They are the result of a lack of collagen.
Unfortunately, once you have developed wrinkles it is hard to eliminate them. Fortunately, there are plenty of filler products available to help disguise them. You’ll simply need to apply the right lotion every day.
It can help to use lotions rich in collagen as these can boost the natural volume of the skin and help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Perhaps the only way to eliminate wrinkles is via cosmetic procedures, such as a facelift. You’ll want to think carefully before taking this route as not all facelifts look natural.
Dehydration Lines
This type of line is generally much finer. They are also often temporary. That means you can see them one morning and they are gone the next. The reason is simple, these lines are a result of not having enough water in your body. A lack of water, or dehydration, means your body concentrates water on where it is most important, depriving your skin cells of it in the process.
The good news is hydrating can help almost instantly.
In fact, there are several things you can do to help keep dehydration lines away:
Drink more water
Your body is roughly 60% water. It’s in every cell and helps with the delivery of nutrients and the removal of toxins. If you don’t have enough water and start to get dehydration lines, simply drink more of it daily. You should be aiming for at least eight glasses a day. It is very difficult to drink too much water.
Use products containing hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid attracts water from the air around you, helping to keep your skin moist and prevent dehydration. Simply using a cream with this acid in it will help your cells stay hydrated and keep dehydration lines away.
Regular massages
Facial massages feel great but they also offer a benefit to your lines. The process of massaging encourages blood flow to the face. This makes it appear fuller and brings additional nutrients and water reserves, ensuring your face has everything it needs to fight the appearance of dehydration lines.
Massage works anywhere on the body but it is especially useful on the face where most dehydration wrinkles appear.
You can massage your face yourself while applying your daily lotions, helping you to look and feel great every day.
