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.

Best way to cover up wrinkles and lines - Concealer tips
For the time being, I'd rather conceal my facial wrinkles and lines rather than get Botox or some laser resurfacing treatment. What is recommended? All I've heard about is Jane Iredale makeups.

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.

I find that if I wash my face just prior to putting on my makeup with a non-soap facial cleanser and then apply a light application of extra virgin olive oil, it makes my wrinkles much less prominent and it gives my face that dewy glow of youth. The key is light application. I take a spray mist bottle or old spray perfume bottle and clean it out and put my olive oil in it. It dispenses just the right amount for me with 2 sprays in my hand. If you over do it, your eyeliner may leach down under your eye a bit. I also put it on after removing my makeup for bed to keep my skin moisturized. By morning my skin has absorbed it and it looks and feels soft and youthful. Since I started this regimen people have asked how I have been turning back the hands of time.
