What is the Difference Between Fine Lines and Wrinkles?

Are you curious about fine lines starting to form around your eyes or are you beginning to notice deeper wrinkles? Whether you are just beginning to notice early signs of aging or already have an anti-aging skincare routine, learn more about fine lines and wrinkles and steps you can take to have healthy-looking skin at any age.

What are the best products for fine lines?

If you are just beginning to notice the early signs of aging, start a routine that can help hydrate skin and defend against further damage. Eyes are one of the first places to show early signs of aging and adding an anti-aging eye treatment can help visibly smooth, brighten and de-puff the eye area. In addition to a gentle cleanser and toner and your daily moisturizer, you may want to add a Vitamin C serum or other targeted formulas to help visibly reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Never skip SPF during the day and help skin restore overnight with a nighttime facial oil.

What are the best products for wrinkles?

As fine lines begin to deepen, you may want to add more targeted treatments to your routine. Follow your gentle cleanser and toner with a treatment essence to help prime skin and prepare it for targeted serums or a wrinkle filler. Swap your daily moisturizer for an anti-aging moisturizer to help replenish moisture while also helping smooth skin. Several times a week, try an overnight face mask to help visibly firm skin.
