Fine lines and wrinkles come from a thinning, loss of elasticity and dehydration of the skin. A good skin exfoliation, regeneration, and hydration program can help with the fine lines.

Not all creams are the same. Don't buy because of the bottle. Check the label. You can go to our web site or email at our clinic address and we can offer suggestions.

The key in covering skin texture (wrinkles, fine lines etc) is to keep everything with a light touch. Too much or too heavy makeup actually makes you look older, heavier, and harder.  Go for a soft, dewy overall look and the whole face will appear softer, more radiant.  If you have certain areas with brown spots, a yellow based concealer will lighten and soften them under your foundation.

Apply a GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid) treatment cream directly to lines or wrinkles to fill them like spackle and resurface and firm skin Follow with moisturizer

Wrinkles are a challenge to cover, as traditional foundation often sits in fine lines and accentuates them. Fortunately, today there are many new formulations with "light reflecting" properties. For mature skin, I recommend applying a light-reflecting liquid mineral foundation and concealer under the eyes and on top of the eyelid to cover any dark shadows. This will reflect light and gives skin a more radiant appearance. Then dust with a very lightweight mineral powder to set the foundation and concealer. Some mineral powders are too thick and can accentuate wrinkles. Our studio's mineral powder is triple-milled and very lightweight - light enough that it does not sit in creases and fine lines.

Mature skin often needs the camouflage appeal of makeup, which includes powder because it sets and holds makeup better. The trick is to moisturize before using liquid or, in some cases, a cream foundation. Powder very lightly over the wrinkled areas as well as the rest of the face. A kabuki or soft fan brush is wonderful for this and does the job in a very subtle way. Then if needed you can add more moisturizer using a stipple technique after makeup application, which softens the look of the wrinkles but keeps the colour intact. If you want a glowy look, lightly mist with water and voila - a dewy, healthy looking and colour-corrected skin.
