Lines and wrinkles appear over time as the supporting tissues lower down in your skin start to lose their connectivity, so look for products that can boost connective tissue production. Ingredients called cell regulators stimulate the production of collagen and elastifibres. Examples include retinoids (such as vitamin A), vitamin C and certain peptides. Try Mimi’s Organic Night Revitaliser Cream (£24, mimisorganics. co.uk). Also ensure you moisturise your skin properly to hydrate the outer layers. This results in the skin feeling softer and can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Facial oils are perfect for hydration as they create a protective layer and lock in moisture.
