Why do I get wrinkles?

Discover how to prevent and reduce wrinkles

Wrinkles are one of the most visible signs of aging on our face. As years go by, it is natural for the skin to lose elasticity and firmness, leading to the formation of these lines and folds.

But why do they appear, and what can we do to prevent and reduce them?

In this post, we will explain it to you in detail, providing you with practical tips to keep your skin radiant and youthful.

Reasons why wrinkles appear:

1. Loss of collagen and elastin: Over time, our body produces less collagen and elastin, two key proteins that keep the skin firm and elastic. This decrease leads to the formation of wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity.

2. Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is one of the main factors contributing to premature skin aging. Excessive sun exposure can damage the skin's collagen and elastin, resulting in the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.

3. Unhealthy lifestyle habits: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet and lack of sleep can accelerate the skin aging process, causing wrinkles to appear earlier than expected.

Tips to prevent and reduce wrinkles:

1. Sun protection: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (with UVA and UVB protection). This will help protect your skin from sun damage and prevent premature wrinkles from forming.
   
   

2. Proper Hydration: Keep your skin hydrated by using a facial moisturizer for men every day. Proper hydration helps keep skin supple and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
   
   Both our Anti-Aging Gel and our Anti-Aging Cream contain the necessary ingredients to help your skin generate the collagen and elastin necessary to prevent the appearance of wrinkles.
   
   

3. Healthy diet: Eat foods rich in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, which help fight free radicals responsible for skin aging. Also, eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and walnuts, which help keep your skin firm and smooth.
   
   

4. Regular Facial Care: Establish a skin care routine that includes cleansing, scrubbing, moisturizing, and sunscreen. Use products specifically formulated for men's skin, such as our Homo Naturals skin care products, which are designed to meet the unique needs of men's skin.
   
   

5. Avoid tobacco and excessive alcohol: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can accelerate the skin aging process, causing wrinkles to appear prematurely. If you want to keep your skin young and healthy, it is important to avoid these unhealthy habits.

Skin care routines

We recommend three skin care routines that you can follow to prevent wrinkles and keep your skin in optimal condition:

1. Basic daily routine:

   • In the morning : Cleanse your face with a gentle facial cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities accumulated overnight. Then, you can apply a revitalising facial spray for men, such as our Cool Splash. Its oil-free texture is absorbed very quickly and is an ideal source of vitamins for your skin.
     
     
   • Apply a facial cream with antioxidant ingredients to protect your skin from sun damage. It is important to choose the right texture for your skin type: Gel for combination or oily skin, and Cream for normal or dry skin.
     
     
   • At night : Repeat the facial cleansing process and apply an anti-aging serum, followed by your anti-aging cream. The synergy you will achieve by using the serum + cream will help improve the results to combat the signs of aging while you sleep.
     
     
     
     

2. Weekly scrubbing routine:

   • Once a week, perform a facial scrubbing to remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal.
   • Use a gentle scrub formulated for men's skin and gently massage your face in circular motions.
   • After exfoliation, apply a revitalizing toner to soothe your skin, and moisturize with a good anti-aging cream. Give your skin extra nutrients by adding a repairing serum to your facial routine before applying the anti-aging cream.
     
     
     
     
     

3. Intensive care routine for the eye contour:

   • The eye contour is one of the areas most prone to developing wrinkles and crow's feet due to its delicate and thin skin.
   • Apply a specific eye contour for men daily, such as our Eyes-On-Me, which is specially formulated to reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffy eyes and wrinkles around the eyes.
   • Use the roll-on with its metal ball to perform gentle massage movements around the eye area to improve blood circulation and help the product increase its effectiveness.
     
     

By following these facial care routines regularly, you will be able to keep your skin nourished, protected, and you will be able to delay and minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

Remember that consistency and the use of quality products are essential to obtain the best results.
