How to
Prevent Wrinkles
While wrinkles are a natural sign of life and expression, adopting certain habits may help skin appear smoother, firmer, and more supported over time. Prevention focuses on supporting the skin’s natural structure, maintaining hydration, and reducing factors that can accelerate visible ageing.
6 Daily Habits That Support Smoother-Looking Skin:
- Hydration:
Drinking enough water supports skin comfort and elasticity. Proper hydration helps skin feel soft and may reduce the risk of Fine lines appearing.⁶
- Nutrition:
A balanced diet rich in Vitamin A, vitamin c, protein, and antioxidants supports healthy-looking skin. These nutrients contribute to Collagen production, help protect against free-radical damage, and may support a more uneven skin tone and complexion.⁷
- Sleep:
Adequate rest allows the skin to recover and regenerate. Sleeping on your back can help prevent compression lines on the face, and investing in silk pillowcases may reduce friction and pressure.
- Stress Management:
High stress levels can influence how skin ages over time. Mindfulness, meditation, yoga, or light exercise may support overall wellbeing and help skin look firmer.⁸
- Sun Protection (Daily SPF):
UV exposure is a major factor in visible skin ageing. Daily use of broad-spectrum UV protection helps Protect collagen and elastin, maintaining skin’s appearance and reducing the formation of lines.⁹
- Avoid Smoking:
Smoking can reduce Collagen production, impair skin elasticity, and accelerate visible ageing. Limiting exposure may help skin appear firmer and more supple.³
- Gentle Care:Being mindful of repetitive movements and handling the skin gently, for example, when cleansing or applying skincare, may support comfort and radiance.
Step 1: Cleanse
Cleansing gently removes impurities, excess oil, and makeup, preparing the skin to absorb active ingredients effectively while maintaining its natural moisture balance. This step helps the skin feel refreshed, soft, and comfortable, creating the ideal base for your face serum and moisturiser.
Step 2: Serum
Serums deliver concentrated ingredients to target wrinkles and support skin structure, and the NIVEA Q10 3-in-1 Collagen Boost Serum does this with its formula containing pure Q10 and Peptides, leaving skin smooth, hydrated, and firmer-looking over time.
Step 3: Moisturise
Moisturising helps lock in hydration and support the skin barrier, especially for Dehydrated skin prone to visible lines. The NIVEA Q10 Facial Butter is formulated with pure Q10, ceramides, and Peptides and reduces sagging in mature skin from 7 days*. With regular use, deep wrinkles and expression lines are reduced, leaving the facial contours firmer and more defined.
