Tired of wasting time and money on anti-aging products that leave your skin just as creased as ever? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Read on as Bionyx shares nine secrets that will soon have your skin looking smoother, firmer, and youthfully wrinkle-free!
1) Try Moisture Sandwiching to Keep Your Skin Hydrated
One way to immediately plump up the look of your skin is to give it some moisture. Think of your skin like a sponge – without enough moisture, it will deflate and crease, whereas saturating it with water will quickly leave it feeling fuller and firmer.
While there are plenty of hydrating skincare products out there, applying just one isn’t going to cut it. It won’t be long before those hydrating ingredients end up evaporating away, which is why so many products fail to provide long-lasting moisture on their own.
Moisture sandwiching is a much-loved method for getting around this. It involves layering hydrating skincare products, from thinnest to thickest, to properly trap that moisture in the skin. Since this technique mimics how the skin naturally retains moisture, it tends to be very successful!
Want to give this a try? Start with the hydrating Bionyx Rhodium Facial Toner after cleansing. Then, follow up with the Alloy Platinum Synergizing Serum, which is loaded with hydrating compounds, before locking that in with a hydrating face cream, like the Bionyx Essential Day Cream. Your skin will immediately feel softer and more supple than ever!
2) Invest in the Rhodium Wrinkle Plumping Syringe
There’s no getting away from the fact that using topical products to target the look of wrinkles can be a long process. The most influential ingredients out there need some time to produce their big changes in the complexion, which is why you won’t often see dramatic instant results.
With that said, some products are able to defy the norm, with the Bionyx Rhodium Wrinkle Plumping Syringe being one. If you’re looking for a way to instantly bring about a smooth and wrinkle-free appearance, this is one product that you most definitely need.
How does it work? It contains a blend of high-performance ingredients that are known for quickly firming up the look of the skin’s surface. Although this isn’t a permanent solution to the appearance of wrinkles, it’s a great quick fix that, when combined with slower-acting products, will help you to achieve younger-looking skin in the long run too.
3) Add a Retinoid to Your Routine
If you’ve already been doing some research into the best ingredients for dealing with wrinkles, you’ll have likely come across retinoids. These ingredients are all derived from vitamin A – one of the most studied skincare ingredients when it comes to tackling the look of skin aging.
What’s so great about retinoids? Research shows that they can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles while giving the skin a firmer and tighter finish. They help with the visibility of dark spots too – another common side effect of the skin aging process.
How do you decide which retinoid to use? This depends on your skin type, as well as whether or not you’ve used retinoids before. If you’re new to vitamin A, start with a gentle retinoid, like the retinyl palmitate used in the Bionyx BioLift Platinum Deep Wrinkle Concentrate. When used regularly, it’s powerful enough to bring about the changes in your complexion that you’re hoping to see, yet it won’t irritate your skin or cause the side effects that the more potent retinoids are known for.
4) Exfoliate Regularly
It’s no secret that exfoliation is essential for keeping your skin looking bright and radiant, especially as you grow older. With age, the skin’s ability to naturally exfoliate itself declines. This can cause a buildup of dead cells on the skin’s surface, which only makes wrinkles look deeper and more rigid.
Exfoliation not only clears this away to give your skin a smoother-feeling texture, but it also leaves your skin cells feeling capable of functioning in a more efficient way. Regularly exfoliating your skin will, over time, lighten the look of dark spots too, giving you a much healthier complexion overall.
With that said, exfoliating too often or using the wrong exfoliator will quickly damage your skin and make your wrinkles worse. To avoid this, stick with gentle formulas, such as the Bionyx Rhodium Complex Facial Peeling. In terms of frequency of use, exfoliate in accordance with your skin type. Dry skin should be exfoliated once or twice a week while oily skin may need to be exfoliated up to three times a week.
5) Stop Allowing the Sun to Age Your Skin
Our next ‘secret’ is, fortunately, not so secret anymore! It’s now common knowledge that the sun causes the skin to wrinkle sooner than it should, although many don’t realize that UV rays are wholly responsible for up to 80% of the wrinkles that develop on your skin with age. Yes, this means that some extra diligence about sun protection in your youth would have saved you from many of the wrinkles that you’re now dealing with.
While there’s no way to turn back time, getting serious about sun protection now will still make a big difference to your complexion. It will help to block the appearance of new wrinkles while preventing your existing creases from looking deeper as the months go by.
When it comes to choosing a sunscreen, you have two main options; chemical or mineral. Each has its pros and cons so pick the type that works best for your skin. So long as you opt for a minimum SPF of 30 and reapply your sunscreen every couple of hours, you’ll be giving your skin the protection it deserves.
6) Incorporate Antioxidants Into Every Stage of Your Skincare Routine
There are a variety of factors out there that contribute to the onset of wrinkles, but they all share one thing in common. Whether it be UV rays, pollution, or anything else, they all trigger free radical damage in the skin, which accelerates the skin aging process.
This is where antioxidants can be a huge game-changer. These ingredients are revered for how they neutralize the appearance of free radical damage. This enables them to keep the skin looking smooth, firm, and youthful. Incorporating antioxidants into every stage of your skincare routine ensures that your skin is receiving plenty. It also allows you to combine various antioxidants – an important endeavor since antioxidants work best when they can join forces with other antioxidants.
With Bionyx’s skincare products, this is easy. You’ll find antioxidants in every single one, making it easy to add them to every step of your routine. Of course, some contain more than others. If you’d like to really bump up your skin’s antioxidant content, check out the Bionyx Alloy Magnetic Synergy Mask. With the likes of coral seaweed extract, hemp seed oil, rosemary leaf extract, and marula oil, it’s loaded with a vast array of antioxidants that your skin will absolutely love!
7) Improve Your Diet
When trying to address the appearance of wrinkles, most people immediately turn to topical skincare. There’s no denying the importance of this but it’s also crucial not to forget about the lifestyle factors that play into the skin aging process.
Diet is a big one. The food that you eat feeds your skin from within, at a level that topical products aren’t able to reach. With certain foods, like processed snacks and sugar-filled foods, being infamous for breaking down the skin’s protein fibers and accelerating the aging process, making a few adjustments to your diet can really help to give you the smoother-looking skin you’re hoping for.
This means ditching unhealthy foods and swapping them for plates filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Healthy fats are essential too, which can be found in nuts and seeds. While a complete dietary overhaul can be difficult to adhere to, try small and gradual changes until you reach your end goal.
8) Learn How to De-Stress
While it’s no secret that stress is bad for your mental health, many don’t realize the full effect that it can have on the skin too. Whenever you’re stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol, which, just like sugar, weakens the protein fibers that hold your skin up from within. This causes the skin to sag and wrinkle much earlier on in life.
The more stressed you are, the faster your skin will age, making it worth spending some time figuring out how to de-stress. Different methods work for different people, so be open to trying a few of the many techniques out there. Whether this may be exercising, listening to calming music, journaling, walking your dog, or anything else, have a few go-to stress busters that you can turn to whenever things get a bit much.
9) Don’t Miss Out on Your Beauty Sleep
Want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles without having to actually do anything? This is where beauty sleep comes in, which is named that way for a reason! Each night, while you’re asleep, your skin cells focus on repair and regeneration. This is when protein production peaks, with those proteins responsible for keeping your skin firm and wrinkle-free.
Missing out on your beauty sleep inhibits this process. While the occasional late night won’t be the primary cause of your wrinkles, getting into the habit of poor sleep will have a big effect on how your skin ages.
To prevent this, make sure that you’re getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. It can take a while to get into this routine but, once you do, your skin will be all the healthier for it.
