There’s nothing worse than hearing the comment “you look tired”. We’ve all had moments where our skin isn’t as bright and lively as it could be. However, this can be prevented by making our skin is plump and hydrated in order to soften the appearance of lines. As we age our skin loses its elasticity as the body’s collagen production levels slow down significantly. The dermal layer thins and elastin fibres wear out which leaves us with dull looking skin. In this article, we will be sharing treatments and tips to plump your skin, boost hydration levels and improve the appearance of fine lines.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Drinking water is an important step in maintaining your health and has significant benefits for your skin. Staying hydrated helps to flush the toxins from your body and keep your skin plump. To maintain a daily water intake of 8 glasses, try setting a reminder on your phone and carrying a reusable water bottle with you.
Take Supplements and Consider Your Diet
Some supplements are specifically created to assist with collagen production for your skin. Photocermides and fish oil are also excellent for boosting collagen levels as they increase the skins elasticity. The food you eat plays a considerable role in the health of your skin over time. Build a diet that includes good fatty acids such as fish and super food like greens, berries and avocados. You can also help your skin by consuming antioxidants from Vitamin C and E to protect the skins surface over time.
Massage Your Skin
The face has muscles just like your body that can be exercised in order to stimulate muscle tissue that would otherwise not be used. Facial massages can be incorporated into your skincare routine by investing in skincare tools such as a gua sha. These tools can be used whilst you apply your skincare products to improve volume and elasticity
Try Microneedling
Microneedling is fantastic for skin rejuvenation as it targets fine lines, wrinkles and expression lines. The process is called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) and is performed with a microneedling pen that uses small needles to puncture the skin's barries to create tiny micro wounds. It’s not as invasive as it seems because these small wounds trigger a healing response within the body that result in new collagen growth stimulated.
CIT encourages skin rejuvenation by strengthening the skin barrier in order to volumise your complexion. The goal of this procedure is to induce an increase in the production levels of elastin and collagen. As the new collagen is dispersed throughout your skin, wrinkles appear less deep, acne scars fade and texture irregularities become less noticeable.
Dermarolling At Home
You can invest in a dermaroller for at-home use to help boost the effects of other professional treatments. It is important to look for products from professionally made companies that use titanium needles. Ideally, the optimal length of these needles is 0.3mm as it is most effective for targeting fine lines. Make sure to always santisie after dermarolling at home and to pull on the skin to help the roller get into the folds of your skin.
IPL Photo Rejuvenation
IPL stands for Intensed Pulsed Light and works by applying rapid pulses of light at varying lengths to the treatment area. A treatment with an IPL machine with strong pulses of filtered light will work to improve skin texture and tone as well as stimulating the fibroblast cells within the skin that encourage collagen and elastin production. This will help to improve overall skin tone and texture, leading to a younger, smoother complexion. You may experience slight redness after this procedure but the results will be long lasting!
LED Light Therapy
Through the process of red and infrared LED therapy, wave lengths of light penetrate the deeper layers of the skin which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The results should improve skins structure, strength and elasticity over time. You can learn more about the benefits of LED light therapy in our article with The Global Beauty Group.
