Wrinkle Remedies: How to Reduce the Signs of Aging
Share
Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but lifestyle choices and the right skincare can slow them down. Whether you're dealing with fine lines in humid Kolkata or deep-set wrinkles in dry Jaipur, your skin needs targeted care.
Dr. Ananya Kapoor (MD Dermatology, Celesta R&D Head, Bengaluru) shares, “Our skin starts losing collagen in our late 20s, but using the right ingredients—like Retinol, Niacinamide, and Hyaluronic Acid—can help maintain a youthful appearance.”
Follow these expert-backed tips to smooth wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming!
1. Wear Sunscreen Daily ☀️🛑
The #1 cause of premature aging is sun exposure—not genetics!
✔ Use SPF 30+ with broad-spectrum protection every day (yes, even indoors).
✔ Reapply every 2 hours when outside.
✔ Choose lightweight gel-based SPF for hot, humid cities like Mumbai and Chennai.
💡 “Clients in Goa often develop fine lines earlier due to frequent sun exposure. Regular SPF use has helped them see up to 40% improvement in skin texture,” says Dr. Kapoor.
2. Avoid Tanning (It Ages Your Skin Faster!) 🚫
Tanning might give you a temporary glow, but it speeds up skin aging.
✔ Sun tanning & tanning beds cause wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven skin tone.
✔ Self-tanners and bronzers are safer alternatives.
✔ Wear a wide-brimmed hat & sunglasses for extra UV protection.
💡 “In Shimla’s cold weather, people often think they don’t need SPF. But UV rays are strong year-round! Many clients developed premature wrinkles due to sun exposure in the mountains,” warns Dr. Kapoor.
3. Moisturize to Plump & Hydrate Skin 💧
Dehydrated skin makes wrinkles more noticeable. A good moisturizer:
✔ Seals in hydration and smooths fine lines.
✔ Boosts elasticity with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin E.
✔ Prevents dryness in colder cities like Delhi, Pune, and Jaipur.
💡 “Our Bangalore lab found that jasmine rice extract improves skin hydration. It’s now a key ingredient in our Celesta Glow Serum, keeping skin plump & youthful,” shares Dr. Kapoor.
4. Always Patch Test New Products 🧪
Even dermatologist-tested products can trigger a reaction. Before applying a new product to your face:
✔ Dab a small amount on your inner forearm twice a day for 4-5 days.
✔ If there’s no redness or itching, it’s safe for your face.
💡 Dr. Kapoor advises, “Sensitive skin in Chennai’s humid climate often reacts to harsh actives. Patch testing helps prevent breakouts and irritation.”
5. Follow Instructions—More is NOT Better 📜
Overusing active ingredients can do more harm than good!
✔ Retinol & acids (AHA/BHA) should be used in controlled amounts.
✔ Vitamin C is best applied in the morning, while Retinol works at night.
✔ Too much product = clogged pores, dryness, and irritation.
💡 “In Delhi’s pollution-heavy environment, using too many harsh products can weaken the skin barrier. Stick to a balanced routine,” warns Dr. Kapoor.
6. Stop Using Products That Burn or Sting 🔥
💡 “Unless prescribed by a dermatologist, your skincare should never sting. Irritated skin ages faster!”
✔ If a product burns, discontinue use immediately.
✔ Mild tingling with Retinol or Vitamin C is normal, but excessive burning means it’s too strong.
💡 Dr. Kapoor recalls, “Many clients in Hyderabad overused strong Retinol, leading to peeling & sensitivity. Switching to a gentler formula helped them rebuild their skin barrier.”
7. Don’t Overload on Anti-Aging Products ❌
✔ One anti-aging product at a time is enough.
✔ Mixing too many actives = irritation & breakouts.
✔ Simpler routines deliver better long-term results.
💡 “Our Kolkata clients who stuck to a hydrating + repair-based routine saw a 78% improvement in skin brightness with our Celesta Glow Serum,” shares Dr. Kapoor.
8. Choose Smart – Expensive ≠ Better 💰
High prices don’t always mean better results. Some of the best anti-aging ingredients (like Retinol & Niacinamide) are affordable and backed by science.
💡 Dr. Kapoor’s tip: “Look for dermatologist-tested formulas with proven actives. Celesta Glow Serum delivers hydration, anti-aging, and skin repair—without irritation.”
9. Give Products Time to Work – Be Patient! ⏳
✔ Moisturizers show quick results (1-2 days).
✔ Brightening treatments take 6-8 weeks.
✔ Collagen-boosting products need at least 3 months.
💡 “Pune clients who stuck with their Retinol routine for 3+ months saw significant wrinkle reduction. Anti-aging is a marathon, not a sprint!” says Dr. Kapoor.
10. Consider Seeing a Dermatologist 🩺
✔ If you’re not seeing results, get a personalized plan.
✔ In-office treatments (lasers, peels, Botox) can enhance skincare effects.
💡 “For deep wrinkles, topical skincare may not be enough. We often combine home care with clinical treatments for maximum anti-aging benefits,” says Dr. Kapoor.
