Dryness wrinkles primarily arise from a lack of moisture in the skin. They often appear as fine lines or creases and indicate that the skin is dehydrated. These wrinkles can still be effectively treated as long as they have not penetrated deeply into the connective tissue. To reduce dryness wrinkles, it is crucial to focus on intense moisturization. Factors such as an elevated pH level and oxidative stress can also contribute to the formation of these wrinkles. For care, moisturizing creams and facial serums containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, collagen, glycoin, aloe vera, and panthenol are especially suitable, as they provide the skin with intensive moisture and strengthen its structure.

As the name suggests, expression lines develop due to our facial expressions, that is, through repeated facial movements that stress our facial muscles. This constant movement causes the collagen fibers in the skin to stretch and lose elasticity over time. Typical expression lines include frown lines on the forehead, crow's feet around the eyes, marionette lines around the mouth, and nasolabial folds. When pronounced, these wrinkles remain visible even when the face is completely relaxed. To prevent such static wrinkles, it is advisable to start using effective cosmetic treatments early. Anti-wrinkle creams and potent concentrates containing ingredients like biobotox, vitamin C, retinol, and niacinamide can delay the formation of expression lines and improve the skin’s appearance.

Sleep wrinkles are caused by mechanical pressure on the skin during sleep – typically from lying on your side or stomach. When the face, décolleté or neck is pressed against the pillow for several hours, the skin is repeatedly folded in the same places. Unlike expression lines, which result from muscle movement, sleep wrinkles are initially only temporary – but over time, they can become etched into the skin. As skin loses firmness and elasticity with age, it becomes less able to bounce back, and these lines start to linger. To prevent sleep wrinkles from becoming permanent, we recommend using silky, regenerative night creams enriched with ceramides, hyaluronic acid and peptides. Sleeping on your back or using an ergonomic pillow can also reduce pressure and help maintain a smoother, more youthful appearance over time.

Also known as connective tissue wrinkles, age-related wrinkles result from the progressive breakdown of connective tissue structures in the skin. With increasing age, the production of elastin and collagen fibers decreases, leading to a loss of skin firmness. Additionally, the skin's water-binding capacity decreases, and fat content declines, which promotes wrinkle formation. Early signs of these processes can become visible as early as the age of 30. Environmental factors such as UV radiation further accelerate the aging process. To counteract age-related wrinkles, facial care with peptides, ceramides, vitamins, antioxidants, growth factors, and telomerase activators is crucial to strengthen the skin and maintain its youthful glow.

UV wrinkles are caused by excessive sun exposure, especially on the hands, cheeks, and other highly exposed areas of the skin. They often appear as numerous fine lines, deeper creases, and irregular pigmentation. The skin gradually takes on a leathery texture and loses its elasticity. This process, known as photo-aging, is massively accelerated by UV radiation and is one of the main causes of premature skin aging. To prevent UV wrinkles, a daily routine with highly concentrated Vitamin C is essential, as it neutralizes free radicals and strengthens the skin’s structure. In addition, a day cream with a high SPF is indispensable to consistently protect the skin against new UV damage and to delay the long-term effects of photo-aging.

Lifestyle wrinkles develop as a result of habits and modern lifestyles. A typical example is the so-called tech neck—lines on the neck caused by constantly looking down at smartphones or laptops. Smoking and irregular sleeping or eating patterns also visibly accelerate skin aging. Over time, these wrinkles can become permanently etched into the skin. To prevent lifestyle wrinkles, it is important to consistently include the neck and décolleté in the skincare routine, take regular breaks during the day, and use antioxidant-rich skincare products.
