DIY Wrinkle Reduction 🤩

DIY Wrinkle Reduction 🤩

Fortunately, there are various ways to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, making our skin look younger and refreshed.

One effective wrinkle reduction method that many people swear by is the use of DIY methods.

Not only are these methods often cheaper and more accessible than expensive skincare treatments, but they’re also usually made from affordable products and tools.

Here are three DIY wrinkle reduction ways that will work wonders:

Microneedling. Here are the steps to follow when micro needling:

Sterilize the micro needle roller by dipping it in alcohol or spraying it with a disinfectant solution.

    1. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry.
    2. Apply a thin layer of serum, such as vitamin C serum, or hyaluronic acid serum over the area you want to needle.
    3. Hold the micro needle roller at a 45-degree angle and gently roll it over the area you want to treat, applying light pressure. Roll in back-and-forth and up-and-down motions until you have covered the entire area. Avoid sensitive areas such as your eyes, lips, and nose.
    4. Repeat the process on other areas you want to treat, such as your neck or hands.
    5. After you finish, apply a soothing cream, serum, or moisturizer to the areas you have treated.
    6. Clean the micro needle roller by dipping it in alcohol or spraying it with a disinfectant solution.
    7. Store the sterile micro needle roller in a dry and cool place. 

Note: Micro needling should be done by a professional or trained person, and the roller should not be shared with anyone else to prevent the spread of infection. It's recommended to start with small needles and increase the size gradually. Consult with a dermatologist or a cosmetic professional before performing micro needling to ensure it's safe for you and you choose the right needle size and treatment regimen.

Next are Chemical/Skin Peels/ Perpetual Youth Skin Care

The process of a chemical peel involves the application of a solution on the skin which causes the top layer of skin to peel off. This procedure must be performed by a professional dermatologist or esthetician, as it involves the use of strong acids that can potentially harm the skin if not used correctly.

Here are the general steps involved in a chemical peel:

  1. Pre-treatment: The skin is cleaned thoroughly using mild cleansing agents to remove any traces of dirt or oil.

  2. Application: A chemical solution like Perpetual Youth Skin Care's Jessner Peel contains a specific concentration of acids that is applied to the skin.

  3. Wait time: The solution is left on the skin for a few minutes or as directed by the dermatologist.

  4. Neutralization: A neutralizing agent is used to stop the acid from penetrating further into the skin after the desired length of time.  Depends also on the type of skin peel.  Some peels such as Perpetual Youth Skin Care's Jessner peel neutralizes itself.  

  5. Post-treatment: A calming cream or occlusive moisturizer may be applied to soothe the skin and protect it from any environmental pollutants.

It's important to note that not every skin type can tolerate a chemical peel, and that a dermatologist should determine your skin’s type before proceeding with a treatment. Chemical peels also have varying strengths and depth, and the duration of the peel will depend on the overall objective of the procedure.

3.  Next on the list is to use a Retinoid or Tretinoin for cell turnover and collagen production.  

Always use sunscreen when using these products and tools because not only do you want to protect your new skin, you don't want to undo the fabulous gains that you make by doing this constantly.

 Doing the steps above all will create new collagen to create beautiful and ageless skin.  DIY Wrinkle Reduction starts with only a few things.  You don't need to spend a fortune on treatments or products to reduce wrinkles.

While DIY remedies can be a helpful tool in reducing wrinkles, it’s important to keep in mind that they won’t work overnight.

It’s also important to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, as healthy habits will show on your skin.
