As someone who is turning 40 next year, keeping my fine lines and wrinkles in check is pretty high on my list of skincare priorities. Those who know me know I'm not a huge fan of Botox for myself (I have no problem with other people having it if they so wish, it's just not something for me) or fillers (just not a fan in general). So, to keep my skin looking as youthful as possible, it is a constant maintenance of weekly skin treatments, high quality, medical grade skincare products and a healthy diet and lifestyle where possible.
Fine lines are one of the most common skin concerns I get asked about, often appearing as a result of various factors such as dehydration, sun damage, and natural ageing processes.
When our skin (and bodies) become dehydrated, this can lead to loss of skin elasticity, making fine lines more noticeable, while when we get sun damage, this accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to premature ageing signs like wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, as we age, our collagen and elastin production starts to slow down (from 30 onwards), further contributing to the formation of fine lines.
To effectively combat fine lines, it's essential to incorporate targeted skincare products into your routine that address these underlying causes. Along with lifestyle changes such as staying hydrated and using sun protection, investing in high-quality skincare products can help minimise the appearance of fine lines and help us maintain a youthful complexion.
Here are my top product picks for combating fine lines:
1. SkinBetter Science InterFuse® Intensive Treatment LINES Serum: This innovative serum targets expression lines and wrinkles with its no-needle hyaluronic acid solution. It effectively fills expression lines, plumps the skin, and improves moisture retention, helping to diminish the appearance of fine lines over time. I use this twice a day without fail only to localised areas - such as my forehead t keep the area plump and dewy. Click here to order.
2. SkinBetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream or Clearing Serum: Formulated with a unique blend of AHA and retinoid, these creams promote skin rejuvenation while minimising irritation. They reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin tone and texture, and provides essential moisture for a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion. The Clearing Serum has the added benefits of extra lactic acid, salicylic acid (among other actives) to help treat breakouts and lighten those pesky marks that are left from spots.

3. Forlle'd Platinum Eye Cream: Specifically designed for the delicate eye area, this eye cream contains ionized platinum to combat stress and fatigue while strengthening capillaries and improving skin tone. It targets fine lines and puffiness, leaving the eye area looking brighter and more refreshed.
I've really noticed a difference from using this product too, my dark circles have definitely brightened and my under eye is so much more plump.
4. Calecim Multi Action Cream: This serum addresses multiple signs of ageing, including fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of facial volume. It helps to improve skin firmness, diminish deep creases, and redefine facial contours, resulting in a more youthful appearance overall.
Clients who use this just love it and so do I. It's one of those products I can't live without and always gets taken away with me no matter where I'm going.
5. Nimue SUN-C SPF 40: Sun protection is crucial for preventing further damage and premature ageing. This lightweight SPF 40 emulsion provides high broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while also offering anti-ageing benefits. Formulated to aid in DNA protection and repair, it helps reduce and prevent the visible signs of photo ageing, including fine lines and wrinkles.
It's also packed with antioxidants to prevent ROS and helps treat ageing as well. Click here to order.
I've been using these products on my skin daily to prevent and also treat fine lines on my face. I also do weekly treatments using my LED mask, beauty sheet masks and peel pads to maintain my skin health. I will go through these in another post for you.
If you can incorporate advanced skincare products into your daily routine they can help address fine lines and maintain skin health for a radiant, youthful complexion. Remember to stay consistent with your skincare regimen and prioritise sun protection to keep fine lines at bay and promote long-term skin health.
