We can not escape aging, but that does not stop us from trying.
Your skin can be the biggest tattletale, revealing how old you are through wrinkles and fine lines.
It is all days after leaving your teenage years.
That’s whyyou might want to start using anti-aging creams sooner than you think.
To escape wrinkles, injections like botox have become popular.
However, many fear the possibility of unnatural results or a stiff face.
Minimally invasive procedures like microneedling are on the rise too.
But injections and procedures might have to make room for the next anti-wrinkle fix, tape.
Face taping sounds uncomfortable, but it is not as medieval as you think.
The beauty step went viral on TikTok for its quick results.
Can this adhesive be the key to youthful skin?
What is face tape and does it work?
It works similarly to boob tape, which secures your chest in place without the need for a bra.
With face tape, your skin is cinched and held into place.
This method eliminates the appearance of wrinkles and saggy skin.
Instantly, you’ll look decades younger without any surgery or makeup.
The downside to this magic fix is that it is temporary.
While you wear the tape, it does not work to eliminate wrinkles or fine lines.
Once the tape is removed, your skin will be back to normal.
There is also the potential for allergic reactions.
It might be trending on TikTok but not in the medical community.
Luckily, there are proven methods to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
How to get rid of wrinkles?
Dermatologist Dr. Scott Paviol tellsThe Derm Reviewthat protecting your skin from the sun is vital in limiting wrinkles.
Sun exposure is the number one cause of creases in the skin.
Sun rays provide light and warmth but also break down collagen and the skin’s elasticity.
Dr. Pavoil recommends wearing sunscreen daily, preferably with zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide.
When wrinkles are already present, minimal procedures like botox can smooth the skin.
However, botox is best for treating dynamic wrinkles.
These are the lines due to muscle movement.
Think crow’s feet and laugh lines.
Wrinkles from aging and reduced collagen are static wrinkles.
Derma fillers are better suited to restore those creases.
An anti-aging skincare regimenis an alternative to injections.
Serums with retinol boost collagen to plump skin.
Glycolic acid combats fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration.
As a chemical exfoliant, it works to dissolve old skin cells to showcase the youthful skin underneath.
Ceramides products help your skin lock in moisture to prevent sags and creases.
