The fight against the appearance and deepening of wrinkles remains a legitimate crusade of the cosmetic industry, which needs raw materials with safe and proven efficacy. However, products with proven wrinkle-fighting benefits are increasingly entering the market.
Facial skin is exposed to emotions and various forms of environmental stress and is characterised by so-called 'expression' wrinkles. These wrinkles are formed as a result of thousands of daily involuntary micro-contractions of the facial muscles. They lead to the formation of real deep wrinkles, which are the cause of movements and tugs on the skin.
Remember: Wrinkles are a natural part of aging. There are several types. For example, fine lines, vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows, or prominent creases in the eye area.
WRINKLES AND THEIR CAUSES
Studies have confirmed that wrinkles also occur in young people. The youngest age for the appearance of fine lines was 21 years. Why do they actually occur? The most common causes of wrinkles include smoking, excessive stress, advancing age, exposure to sunlight, diet or genetic predisposition.
Repeated facial expressions are also a reason. This means that whenever you squint your eyes, smile and frown, , tiny lines gradually form under the surface of your skin. As the skin ages, it loses its elasticity and elasticity. The lines thus become facial features.
EFFECTIVE WRINKLE SOLUTION
In addition to the solutions suggested by plastic surgery and other invasive techniques, researchers have come up with a safe, plant-based alternative that meets the main requirement or a skin care product with fast results. It is the tropical plant Acmella oleracea which belongs to the Compositæ-Heliantheæ group.
THE UNIQUE CHARM OF THE PLANT
This small plant, which flowers all year round, has a wide geographical range, covering the entire tropical zone in South America, Africa and Asia. Native to Peru and Brazil , it is a cultivated, non-endangered species, also known in Madagascar and Reunion Island. It has been used in these areas for a very long time. In the Indian Ocean, it is also known as 'Mafane'.
COMPOSITION IS KEY
A bibliographic study revealed a list of the key majority compounds present in this plant. These are mainly isobutylamides of polyenoic and polyenoic acids. Of the dozen molecules identified, spilantol (or (E,Z,E)-N-2-isobutyl-2,6,8-decatrienamide) is the molecule mainly responsible for the activity in GATULINE® EXPRESSION.
DEMONSTRABLE EFFECTS
It has been shown, by both in vitro and in vivo methods, that the extract obtained from the upper part of the Acmella oleracea plant in GATULINE® EXPRESSION acts precisely and rapidly on the mechanism responsible for the formation of expression lines. It immediately limits the micro-contractions that create and subsequently aggravate facial wrinkles. Thanks to the myorelaxant activity of the extract, it is possible to delay the formation and deepening of wrinkles caused by the cumulative effect of muscle contractions. The effective reduction of wrinkles leads to a significantly smoother complexion.
GATULINE® EXPRESSION is therefore destined to become a key active ingredient for the next generation of anti-wrinkle cosmetics.
WHAT ARE THE OTHER OPTIONS FOR DEALING WITH WRINKLES?
Although the natural ageing process cannot be stopped completely, it can be effectively slowed down. In fact, there are certain lifestyle changes that you can incorporate into your routine. As a result, you will have a refreshed and youthful appearance.
USE A GOOD QUALITY CREAM
Your skin needs to be constantly hydrated and supplied with all the nutrients it needs. You don't have to use dozens of products and spend hours in front of the mirror with your skincare. Modern times bring modern solutions in the form of Skeeneffect cream and nutritional supplement. The Skeeneffect Age Miracle range contains a blend of active ingredients, including hyaluronic acid. The latter is designed to increase the collagen content of the skin while delivering effective wrinkle reduction..
Remember: Elaself is a substance that improves the assembly of elastic fibers, promotes collagen production and contributes to the reduction of wrinkles. Clodessine and Schizofyllan also reduce the depth of wrinkles. All these substances and many more, including Gatuline Expression are found in Skeeneffect products.
A BALANCED DIET AND REGULAR EXERCISE
An unhealthy lifestyle accelerates the aging process. Therefore, a varied diet is essential. Include more foods containing vitamin A and C in your diet. This can be poultry, , lean meat or eggs, for example.. Don't forget to drink plenty of water to encourage collagen production.
Regular physical activity promotes blood circulation, relieves stress and tension. This too has a huge impact on reducing wrinkles. So treat yourself to at least a 30-minute walk in nature every day.
Practical tip: Foods high in sugar and alcohol consumption damage collagen and elastin. Therefore, you should eliminate these types of foods from your diet. Your skin will thank you for it. And not just your skin, but also your overall health.
SLEEPING ON YOUR BACK
Yes, even sleep can have an impact on your wrinkles. Sleeping on your side has been proven to lead to wrinkles on your cheeks and chin, while sleeping face down will in turn wrinkle your eyebrows. Therefore, it is recommended that you sleep ideally in the supine position. Of course, it is essential to treat yourself to a good and full night's sleep, at least for 8 hours.
STOP FAIRING
Have you smoked for many years or are you still smoking? Nothing is lost! You can still improve your complexion and effectively prevent the appearance of facial wrinkles. The toxins in tobacco reduce blood flow to skin cells and prevent the proper breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin. Since the toxins in tobacco contribute to premature organ aging, smoking also affects the body's largest organ - the skin.
