Beauty Tip: Fine Lines And Wrinkles

Never underestimate the importance of skincare. An adequate regime can not only reverse some of the damage caused by the ageing process, but prove to be particularly beneficial in the prevention of aggravating lines and wrinkles.

Although a professional may be able to accurately assess a clients skin and facial features in order to provide the right skincare products and treatments, a simple yet effective DIY test can easily be performed to determine your skin's elasticity. Sounds complicated right? Wrong!
Gently pinching each of your main facial areas will provide you with the powerful knowledge required to alter your skincare regime accordingly.

Skin of a firm nature has good elasticity and will instantly spring back in to shape. However, skin with poor elasticity has been overstretched, forming unwanted wrinkles and visible sagging. This particular level of elasticity can be determined by an unsightly crepey appearance and will fail to immediately recover from the pinch test.

Examining your skin's elasticity may seem pointless but can provide you with the valuable knowledge required to help minimize the effects of ageing and premature wrinkles. Not only will you be aware of the specific areas susceptible to the ageing process, but special care can be taken to ensure further overstretching is avoided, reducing the risk of worsening lines and wrinkles.
