One of the most widespread concerns in terms of beauty is the aging of the skin. The passing of the years translates into a loss of firmness, expression marks, wrinkles and spots. But age is not the only factor that influences, but the damage caused by sun exposure, stress, genetics, bad eating habits, lack of sleep, etc. also come into play.
Therefore, in the desire to show off a smooth, young and luminous complexion, facial care is essential. The three champions of this mission are cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection. When it comes to preventing or softening the incidence of wrinkles and sagging, anti-wrinkle creams are the infallible resource. But not the only one.
For some time now, the phenomenon of anti-wrinkle patches has burst into force. They stand as an ally for mature skin that wants to look younger and fresher, being an extra reinforcement to the routine use of creams and serums.
Anti-wrinkle patches are dressings composed of active ingredients intended to restore firmness and smoothness to the face. For example, with hyaluronic acid. Its 'superpower' is to hydrate, repair and nourish the dermis, promoting cell regeneration and the production of collagen and elastin. All in all, they combat wrinkles and expression lines, loss of firmness and signs of fatigue, resulting in a more youthful, smoothed and elastic face.
There are different types of anti-wrinkle patches on the market. Some of them have an immediate 'flash' effect but it lasts less time. These are ideal to apply before a special occasion, such as a party or a date. Others, on the other hand, have cumulative but long-lasting results, so that their effect is accentuated as you are constant in their application.
There are some to apply on the forehead, the nasolabial fold, the neck and décolleté or around the eyes. In the latter case, they not only combat skin fatigue, wrinkles and flaccidity, but also help reduce bags and dark circles. Depending on the patches chosen, its application will consist of a few minutes – like a mask – or to leave it on overnight.
In this sense, some act as fixatives for the skin, stretching it and preventing certain grimaces during the night or friction with the pillow from accelerating the appearance of wrinkles. So you wake up with much firmer skin, in a kind of lifting effect.
