How to fight against skin aging? Keep a young, toned and radiant face? The Clinique des Champs-Élysées tells you everything in a few lines.
What is skin aging?
Skin aging or skin aging is a physiological phenomenon that appears with age. Naturally, the aging of skin tissues begins from the age of 30 and intensifies with age. It appears on the body, but also on the face, neck and décolleté. The first wrinkles and fine lines then appear. The skin becomes sagging and wrinkled.
What are the causes of facial aging?
The causes of skin aging are numerous. Among them, the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid decrease with age. These natural active ingredients are in fact produced less and less by the body as we age. Responsible for the hydration, suppleness and tone of the skin, they lose strength and effectiveness over time. External factors can also accelerate skin aging:
The sun: prolonged and repeated exposure, without sun protection, leads to premature aging of the skin.
Pollution: Among the most harmful external aggressions for the skin, pollution makes the complexion dull and causes faster aging.
Tobacco: Smokers experience premature aging of the skin. In addition, they can stain the skin.
Alcohol, medications: taken too frequently, they harm the quality of the skin.
Bad habits: not consuming enough vitamins, not cleaning your face or not sleeping enough can alter the quality of your skin and make it age prematurely. Not drinking enough water also makes your skin lose its elasticity.

Developing good habits
You’ve got it: not taking care of yourself on a daily basis has serious consequences for your skin. You can delay the appearance of signs of aging by:
Adopting a healthy diet.
Drinking plenty of water. Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do to keep your skin cells healthy and able to protect all layers of the skin (epidermis and dermis, but also the deeper layers).
Protecting you from the sun’s rays.
Cleansing your facial skin morning and evening.
Avoiding tobacco, alcohol and repeated taking of certain medications.
Change your beauty routine
Having suitable creams and treatments is very important to prevent sagging skin. We recommend that you buy at least a good facial cleanser, a day cream and a night cream. Serums are also worth considering: adapted to different skin types and targeted problems, they help keep skin young and full of life for longer. Finally, don’t hesitate to apply a scrub followed by a moisturizing mask to your skin once a week. Soft skin guaranteed! You can also turn to natural cosmetics if you are not a fan of commercially sold creams. Argan oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil and shea butter, for example, delay facial aging by deeply moisturizing it.
Trying aesthetic medicine
Several aesthetic medicine procedures can help you fade or erase the signs of aging. Among them:
Mesotherapy : these micro-injections rich in vitamins and nourishing active ingredients will allow you to look better. Your skin will be softer, more toned and more radiant .
Hyaluronic acid used as a filler is very effective in erasing fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox®: its tightening effect on the muscles helps to eliminate unwanted expression lines (crow’s feet, frown lines, pronounced nasolabial folds, marionette lines, etc.).
