In your thirties, you’ll start to notice fine lines and wrinkles appearing, as well as the fact that your complexion isn’t as smooth as it used to be. The reason that both of these problems occur is because the body can’t produce collagen or elastin as quickly. This leads to fine lines, sagging skin and a complexion that is no longer as soft and smooth.
To reduce the appearance of fine lines, it’s crucial that you moisturize twice a day with a rich face cream. Ideally, this should be a cream that contains collagen and elastin for helping to smooth out your skin, prevent sagging and fill lines.
