Amazing Ingredients To Help Reduce Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Wrinkles and sagging skin? You must be trying hard to turn back the clock on ageing skin. But the question here is that can you actually erase wrinkles and fine line, repair sun damage, or fade age spots?

You must be aware that in the world of skin care, trendy new anti-ageing products with age-defying ingredients come and go at a rapid-fire pace. There are thousands of products claiming to be the fountain of youth in a jar. It seems like every anti-ageing skincare product boasts the silver bullet for signs of aging. With so many options in hand, there is a definite list of effective options that experts recommend due to the results they offer. According to skin care experts, such products may help in translating to a youthful-looking, hydrating, and more plump skin.

Some of the essential anti-ageing ingredients that have well-established benefits in diminishing wrinkles, fine line, or dark spots are:

Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen:

You might be surprised to know that sunscreen is on the top of the list. If you are not using sunscreen religiously in your skin care routine, it is useless to waste your time or money on any other anti-ageing ingredients. It is a certifiable fact that sun exposure is one of the primary causes of all the signs of ageing, from spots to wrinkles and fine lines. That is what makes daily sun protection a MUST.

A broad-spectrum sunscreen blocks both UVA rays, which cause ageing, and UVB rays, which cause burning. The recommended daily value of the required SPF is 30, and it is important to remember that reapplication is also essential. It can help you to prevent sun damage.

The damage from the sun can cause serious issues, like skin cancer, and more cosmetic issues, like breaking down the collagen and elastin that keeps your skin firm and plump. Over time, this collagen breakdown can lead to premature signs of ageing, like sagging skin and wrinkles. Sun exposure can also cause age spots and hyperpigmentation.

Oriental Botanics’ Aloe Vera, Green Tea & Cucumber Sunscreen SPF 50 is a broad-spectrum sunscreen. It combines sun protection with skin care and is enriched with botanical ingredients for superior protection from UV rays. The formulation supports advanced skin care to prevent wrinkles and fine lines. It protects against sunburn, tanning, and photoaging, and keeps the skin hydrated, soft, and bright.

Retinol

It is popularly known as vitamin A and is one of the most effective skin-transforming ingredients according to skin care experts. This ingredient is a part of a larger group known as retinoids, of which there are many prescription and over-the-counter options that are available. Although it is important to know that they all work essentially in the same way.

Retinol increases the rate at which your cells turnover, in a way that speeds up the exfoliation process. It is a great anti-ageing ingredient for targeting fine lines and sun damage. For the same reasons, it is also good for combating blemishes.

Green Tea:

It is a magical ingredient found in many skincare products. Green tea has amazing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The anti-ageing benefits of green tea are attributed to polyphenols, a type of flavonoids found in plants. According to skin care professionals, green tea can reduce sun damage, protect skin from cancer, and decrease collagen breakdown. The polyphenols are thought to stimulate biochemical pathways that lead to cell regeneration.

Oriental Botanics’ Aloe Vera, Green Tea & Cucumber Peel Off Mask is a botanical skincare product that contains green tea as a major ingredient. It soothes and refreshes the skin stressed by environmental aggressors. It helps to strengthen the skin’s antioxidant defense against free radicals generated due to exposure to sunlight and pollution and helps to repair the everyday microscopic damages. It helps to keep your skin firm and elastic and reduces the premature appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The skin-lightening effect of the mask helps to fade the hyperpigmented spots and patches and leaves you with a more even skin tone.

Vitamin C:

One of the most popular active ingredients in skin-care products today, vitamin C, acts as an antioxidant to counteract and protect against free radical damage. It not only helps to neutralize the skin-damaging free radicals caused by exposure to environmental elements such as sun and pollution, but it also interferes with the production of excess pigment in the skin, helping to fade spots and discoloration. Apart from these amazing properties, it also helps to stimulate collagen production. Using Vitamin C enriched products will aid in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hyaluronic Acid:

Hyaluronic acid is a powerful ingredient to keep the skin hydrated and youthful. Scientifically, it is a molecule that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. It also aids in tissue repair and improves overall skin health. Hyaluronic acid also benefits the skin in retaining signs of youthfulness like collagen, elasticity, and moisture. This is a key ingredient because as we age, our body’s hyaluronic acid levels begin to dip, making it harder for our skin to retain moisture. This is the reason why we start noticing dry patches, fine lines, and wrinkles as we age. When you factor in free radical damage from UV rays and pollutants, your skin will really need a helping hand. So by adding hyaluronic acid to your natural skin care routine, you can go a long way in the name of healthy, nourished, more youthful-looking skin.

Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs):

This group of acids includes glycolic, lactic, citric, and tartaric acids. They are actively present in many products. AHAs are helpful in exfoliating the skin, reducing fine lines, age spots, acne scars, and uneven skin color. You can get peels with high concentrations of AHAs from a skin care specialist or dermatologist. It can also be used in lower concentrations, 5% – 10% in creams or lotions on a daily basis. You should start with a low concentration and apply every other day to avoid irritating your skin. Over time, when your skin is used to it, you can gradually start to use it more often, working up to every day.

Dermatologists also recommend using moisturizer and sunscreen when you use any products that contain AHAs.

Jojoba Oil:

Jojoba oil is one of the best skin care oils present in skincare products. Derived from a nut-like pod of a plant, jojoba oil is biomimetic, meaning it acts as the oil naturally found in the skin. Its properties include non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores, is moisturizing, and also soothing to dry, irritated skin. So there is no need to worry about breakouts. Jojoba oil also contains vitamin E, which means it may have some antioxidant properties and it is anti-inflammatory, too. Additionally, it works equally well to hydrate your hair and scalp. Due to its moisturizing properties, it tends to keep the skin supple, thus preventing fine lines and wrinkles.

Collagen:

Collagen is one of the most significant proteins in your skin. It is the foundation for keeping the skin strong and firm, like the box spring underneath a mattress. But you should know that our natural collagen production slows down as we age and all kinds of external factors such as sun exposure also contribute to the breakdown of collagen.

Collagen is a great anti-ageing ingredient. You should wisely choose a botanical product with collagen as an ingredient to fight the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA):

The most common form of BHA is salicylic acid, which is commonly used as an acne treatment. This beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) has some serious exfoliating powers, which makes it a worthy option for managing signs of ageing as well. Skin care experts also suggest that it can boost the production of collagen.

Unlike other chemical exfoliants, salicylic acid is also oil-soluble, which allows it to get deeper into your greasy pores. So if you particularly have oily or acne-prone skin, salicylic acid could be a key ingredient for you.

Vitamin E:

For incredible skin soothing, enhanced hydration and suppleness, vitamin E plays an essential role. Vitamin E alleviates dryness by helping skin retain its natural moisture levels. When applied regularly, it is effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It has an inherent antioxidant property that enables it to block free radicals. Due to its nature, vitamin E is considered as the first line of defense against the skin damaging environmental effects. As part of a moisturizing natural skin care routine, it works as an agent to seal in moisture and protect the outermost skin layer. It is a central ingredient in several of our most nourishing natural products. It is an active player in your body butters and creams, cosmetics, eye creams, serums, etc.

There are numerous age-defying ingredients present in skincare products that have gained a lot of buzz and attention. You just require choosing the correct one for yourself!
