Forehead, eye contour, cheeks… Fine lines from dehydration are not the prerogative of mature skin. They can appear as early as the twenties and give a tired look to the face. Unlike deep wrinkles linked to skin aging, these marks are fortunately reversible. As long as you adopt the right actions, and above all, focus on hydration.
Why dehydration lines appear
Dehydration lines are a sign of skin that lacks water. They occur when the skin is insufficiently hydrated, internally and on the surface. Among the most common causes: insufficient water consumption, the use of overly aggressive cleaners, but also environmental factors such as pollution, cold, sun and even tobacco. Result: the skin loses flexibility, wrinkles and marks more easily.
The express routine recommended by an expert
To make them disappear, one key word: moisturize. First from the inside, by drinking between 1.5 and 2 liters of water per day. Then, through a simple and targeted beauty routine.
“It is advisable to opt for a gentle cleansing gel, followed by a tonic lotion, then a serum with hyaluronic acid or a cream rich in Spilanthes“, explains Isabelle Jondo, doctor of pharmacy on her Instagram account. This plant native to Brazil is recognized for its hydrating, plumping and smoothing properties. In addition, applying a moisturizing mask once a week helps strengthen the results. Good news: this routine only takes two minutes.
Actions and tips to boost results
However, be careful not to damage the skin. The expert recommends favoring chemical exfoliations, which are gentler, over grain scrubs.
To speed up the blurring of fine lines, certain accessories can also make a difference. “Using a Gua Sha, jade roller or quartz mushroom around the eyes helps smooth the skin more quickly“, adds Pascale Ruberti, innovation and product director at Aroma-Zone.
Finally, hydration also comes from the plate. Foods rich in omega-3 — such as avocado, fatty fish or nuts — help strengthen the skin barrier and prevent the appearance of these small marks.
In summary, drinking enough, adopting a targeted routine and taking care of your diet are often enough to restore the skin’s smooth and plump appearance. A simple, quick and accessible solution to say goodbye to fine dehydration lines.
