Myth. To find out when you will have wrinkles, just look at your mom.
Of course, the genetic link is important: we are often similar to our relatives in figure, face, hair and skin type. But even if your mom and grandma have wrinkles at age 20, that doesn’t mean you get wrinkles at that age. Our grandmothers had only a washcloth and laundry soap. In your case, you can take care of yourself using special tools and cosmetics.
The condition of the skin of the face and body is affected by:
- habits (including bad ones);
- Lifestyle;
- quality and duration of sleep;
- care (or lack thereof, or incorrectly selected means);
- harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation;
- general health.

Myth. The sooner you start using rejuvenating cosmetics, the later wrinkles will appear.
The main problems of young skin (usually oily or combination) – increased sebum production, acne, lack of moisture and the need for thorough cleansing. Cosmetics for care should be chosen taking into account these points. Otherwise, there will be no pleasure from using care products or their use will add problems – acne and peeling. In 5 or 10 years, this same skin will look completely different. It is possible that the skin will become drier, lose its elasticity and resilience. In this case, you will need to use an anti-aging cream (serum).

Myth. Oily skin ages more slowly.
This myth arose when women learned that men, who often have oily skin, begin to age a little later than their peers. But you should take into account the fact that men’s skin is thicker. Therefore, when wrinkles appear, they immediately become deep.
In fact, wrinkles appear because the skin begins to lose its ability to straighten. The amount of collagen and elastin (they are responsible for the elasticity and resilience of the skin) in the epidermis decreases from about 20 years. But the degree of presence of these proteins does not depend on the activity of the sebaceous glands.

Myth. The more expensive the care product, the better it helps against wrinkles.
Indeed, some care products are quite expensive (for example, Demelan Cream). This cost is due to the fact that they contain unique and expensive components. But many problems are perfectly solved with the help of fairly inexpensive cosmetics (for example, Glyco 6 Cream).

Myth. The less you smile, the less wrinkles you will have.
Facial wrinkles will still appear. If you do not smile to prevent wrinkles, it will spoil the mood, but will not help prevent wrinkles. Studies show that the more often a person smiles, the better the contours and oval of the face are preserved. Facial muscles begin to contract, activating blood flow. As a result, the skin receives more nutrients and oxygen. This makes the skin more elastic.
Sincere, joyful laughter is a great way to stay healthy and prevent many ailments. The fact is that due to prolonged laughter, the body begins to produce antibodies that resist various infections.
