Fine laughter-lines

by Rubina

I am 37 years old and have started to develop fine laughterlines. Please advise about some anti-ageing regimen. Also I have dark circles under eyes. Can you suggest an under eye cream.

Hi Rubina,
One way to treat laughter-lines is to inject Botox. Laughter lines, like most wrinkles are expression lines that appear when the muscle under the skin tightens due to constant contraction.
Botox is injected into the muscle where it releases the tension. In other words Botox numbs it. The downside is that you won't show much of an expression anymore.

The other option is to use a non-invasive form of treatment such as facial massage like the Face Focis Ultasonic Facial Massager or red light therapy.
If used in combination with a cream the effect can be increased.

For lines around the eyes (crowsfeet) I recommend:

StriVectin-WF Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler

If you prefer organic skin care I suggest Miessence Firming Eye and Neck Serum.

I believe that dark circles are often caused by internal factors. I actually have not seen a cream that can remove dark circles. I suggest a detox, lots of water and sleep together with a gentle massage from the inside to the outside of the eye to stimulate the removal of toxins via the lymph system.

To cover up dark circles try an illuminating foundation/concealer such as
Illuminare Ultimate All Day Foundation / Concealer Florentine Fair

They contain light reflecting particles that make the wrinkles and dark circles virtually disappear.

I hope this helps.

If you have any more questions please contact me.

All the best.
