Anti-ageing products for men: When should men start using anti-wrinkle face creams?

Just like women, men usually show the first signs of skin ageing and wrinkles from around the age of 30. There are many reasons for ageing skin. But don't worry: wrinkled skin can be prevented with the right skincare routine and special face creams for men.

Why do men develop wrinkles after 30?

With increasing age, the skin loses moisture and elasticity, which causes the skin to age and become wrinkled. The signs of skin ageing are partly predetermined by nature, but are also partly due to a lack of active care and moisturising of the facial skin. These are the most common causes:

• Natural ageing process of the skin: collagen and elastin give the skin firmness and elasticity. With increasing age, the production of these proteins in the skin slows down. This can lead to the first wrinkles in men from the age of 30.
• External factors: Men's skin - just like women's - is constantly exposed to harmful environmental influences. Sunlight, air pollution, smoking and stress accelerate skin ageing and lead to premature wrinkling.
• Inadequate skin care: Men often care for their skin differently to women. They use face creams or sunscreen less regularly to protect the skin from dehydration and harmful external influences. Constant skin care, including anti-ageing creams, moisturises the skin and can help to slow down skin ageing.

What can men do about wrinkles?

First things first: wrinkles are not a bad thing and are part of the natural ageing process. However, if you want to look young and crisp for a little longer, there are a few tricks you can use to influence the skin ageing process.

• Protection from UV radiation: The sun is one of the main factors in premature skin ageing. Therefore, always use sun protection and avoid the midday sun.
• Less stress and healthy sleep: Chronic stress can accelerate skin ageing. Regular exercise and relaxation (especially restful sleep) are therefore important ways of slowing down the formation of wrinkles.
• A balanced diet and plenty of fluids: A healthy diet with sufficient fruit, vegetables, wholemeal products, healthy fats and lean protein helps to ensure that the skin is supplied with important nutrients. Hydration is particularly important to keep the skin supple and radiant.
• Skin care: A good skin care routine with a nourishing moisturiser is important to keep the skin elastic. Cleanse your face daily, use a face cream for men and always apply sunscreen. Choose skincare products with natural ingredients that are well tolerated and environmentally friendly.

Which ingredients in face creams for men are effective against wrinkles?

It is important to know that skin ageing is a natural process that cannot and should not be stopped completely. However, with the tips mentioned above, you can definitely ensure that it progresses less quickly.

In your skincare routine, you should also make sure to use natural face creams for men that contain ingredients that are effective against wrinkles and skin ageing.

The active ingredient "Hydro Active", which is extracted from birch bark, and the active ingredient hyaluronic acid retain moisture in the skin for a long time. Natural antioxidants - such as the active ingredient "Alpine Mountain Active" extracted from alpine roses - also ensure that aged cells are broken down.

Our face cream for men contains all of these ingredients and more. With six active ingredients that are 100% natural in origin and intensively moisturise men's skin, absorb quickly and, above all, ensure a smooth, vital and healthy complexion, our Alpine Performance Face Fluid is virtually unbeatable.
