Brilio.net - The natural aging process that occurs on the face is the main cause of the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines . As we age, the skin loses its elasticity and the production of collagen, as well as hyaluronic acid (which helps moisturize the skin) also decreases. This causes the skin to become dry, sagging and wrinkles appear.
The aging process usually occurs in people aged 35 years and over. However, the aging process can occur more quickly if facial skin is exposed to sunlight too often. The reason is, UV radiation in sunlight can damage collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. The impact of this is a decrease in skin firmness and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Apart from being caused by exposure to sunlight, premature aging can also be triggered by smoking. This bad habit can reduce blood flow to the skin and damage collagen. The impact on the skin is dryness, looking dull, and triggering the appearance of wrinkles.
So that wrinkles and fine lines don't quickly appear on the surface of your face, there are several things you can do. Starting from using sunscreen, reducing smoking habits, and caring for your skin with skincare products. One of the skincare products that is in great demand to prevent wrinkles and fine lines is antiaging serum.
Antiaging serum is effective in preventing various signs of aging from appearing. However, you often find antiaging serums on the market priced at a price that drains your wallet. As an alternative, you can care for your facial skin with topical treatments that use natural ingredients , as shared by the YouTube channel @meineleckerekuche.
In the uploaded video, the channel owner shares how to prevent wrinkles and fine lines on the face using parsley leaves. This ingredient, which is usually used for cooking, is then processed into toner. Not without reason, parsley leaves have several benefits to help keep skin healthy and prevent wrinkles and fine lines on the face.
The reason is, parsley leaves contain antioxidant compounds such as vitamin C and vitamin E which can fight damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants help protect the skin from damage caused by environmental factors such as exposure to UV rays and air pollution. The chlorophyll content in parsley leaves helps cleanse toxins from the body, which can help maintain healthy skin from within.
