An ingredient that is too little used in our anti-aging treatments, arnica nevertheless has many virtues. Its soothing and relaxing properties allow, when it is included in the composition of your moisturizer, to relax your skin and prevent the appearance of wrinkles.
We explain to you!
HOW ARE OUR WRINKLES FORMED?
Wrinkles and fine lines are caused by the decrease in the production of cells present in the composition of our dermis. These can be linked to two mechanisms:
- Skin aging , linked to the decrease in the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin by our body, caused by age and other internal and external factors. Our skin tissue loses thickness, elasticity and firmness, causing it to sag and create wrinkles.
- Muscle aging , corresponding to expression lines, caused by the repetition of muscle contractions in our face. Smiling, laughing, talking or even frowning and raising our eyebrows causes several hundred contractions per day of the muscles on our face. Over time, our skin supports these movements less and less and therefore ends up forming permanent folds on our face.
DIFFERENT ACTIONS
The intake of collagen and hyaluronic acid will play an important role in preventing skin aging by promoting their own production. However, this intake will not act on the muscle contractions that our skin undergoes daily.
To prevent and reduce these expression lines, it is therefore important to protect our skin from these contractions.
To do this, favor the use of cosmetics composed of active ingredients that can protect the skin from muscular shock waves! Without resorting to botulinum toxin injections.
Botulinum toxin is one of the most widely used active ingredients on the market to address this issue. And for good reason, it is also the best way to no longer have wrinkles for a few months thanks to these injections also called botox. Indeed, botulinum toxin will block muscle contraction by preventing the muscle from receiving the nerve message induced by the brain and thus allow our face not to wrinkle.
Unfortunately, for those who are a little more cautious about this practice, botulinum toxin is not currently present in cosmetics on the market. It is therefore necessary to go through the injection stage to be able to benefit from its effects.
ARNICA
If you are not a fan of injections, it is better to favor, within your cosmetic compositions, ingredients that can be capable of relaxing and loosening the skin. This type of ingredient will allow your skin to relax between each muscle contraction and thus reduce the fold destined to become a wrinkle.
Among these ingredients: Arnica. Famous for its many properties and uses, this plant is also known for its relaxing and relaxing action on our muscles. It is particularly used after a sports session. This ingredient is therefore the ideal candidate to limit the shock waves suffered by the skin during our bursts of joy, our astonishment or even our discontent!
It is for these properties that we absolutely wanted to include Arnica in the composition of our Sculpt & Glow Facial Care Oil and thus allow the muscles to relax until the early morning.
Combined with plant retinol, golden algae extract*, hemp, thistle and sea buckthorn oil, this oil brings together all the ingredients necessary to act both on the contraction of our facial muscles and to limit the reduction of our dermal proteins and molecules, such as collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin!
So don't panic. With Sculpt & Glow Facial Care Oil , your wrinkles and fine lines are in good hands!
