You are starting to notice that the signs of ageing are already fully settled in, deep wrinkles, pigment spots, and drier skin that has lost its density. And unfortunately, the ageing process doesn't stop there, your features continue to sag, the texture of your skin transforms and your face just isn't as voluminous as it was all those years ago. Babies and children all have skin that's plump, fuller, and more elastic.
But as the years go by, your faces start to hollow out, your cheekbones sag, dark circles appear, both the wrinkles around your temples and your smile lines start to deepen and your cheeks fall. Basically, your whole face becomes less defined. The result - the contours of the face aren't as sharp and your features become less harmonious.
There are plenty of solutions available at the dermatologist's to help combat this slackening of your face and plump up your cheeks, which, in turn, helps you retrieve facial harmony
• Injections: Volumising hyaluronic acid is injected directly into your cheekbones. This lifts them slightly which helps your smile lines disappear, giving you instant results that can last for up to 18 months. By restructuring your cheeks in this way, your face appears more harmonious with a more balanced volume.
• Exfoliation: Peels or dermabrasions help get rid of the upper layer of the skin, otherwise known as the epidermis, and can even go as deep as the upper dermis layer to restore some of the skin's flexibility, elasticity and, therefore, volume.
• Revitalising stimulations: carboxytherapy, radiofrequency, pulsed light therapy.
If you find that the dermatological solutions are perhaps a little too invasive, you can still rely on beauty products to help correct these signs of ageing. The best route to restoring facial harmony by plumping up your cheeks and filling in wrinkles is to rely on skincare that will strengthen the network of elastin fibres. And the star of the show here is hyaluronic acid. Naturally found in your body, it's produced at a slower rate as you get older. When you use skincare that is rich in hyaluronic acid, you can be confident of anti-wrinkle and re-volumising action taking place every day.
For example, you can try the Revitalift Crystal Micro-Essence by L’Oréal Paris. The Revitalift Micro-Essence Penetrates up to 10 skin layers to reveal crystal clear and radiant skin tone. It deeply repairs, plumps, and moisturizes the skin for a smoother, youthful skin inside out. Enriched with Centella Asiatica, the Crystal Micro-Essence boosts the skin’s elasticity and smooths out lines and wrinkles.
Remember to not just apply skincare products to your face, but also bring them down onto your neck and massage it in all the way up, right from your chin to your ears. Day by day, you will see that your face becomes denser, has a more symmetrical shape and will look noticeably younger!
