In brief
- UV radiation is responsible for around 80% of wrinkle formation, so sun protection is the most important step in preventing them.
- A mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide is recommended, along with avoiding direct midday sun.
- For skincare, choose hyaluronic acid, retinol and antioxidants, and cleanse the skin thoroughly in the evening.
- A healthy lifestyle includes at least 7 hours of sleep, drinking at least 2 litres of water a day and cutting down on alcohol and smoking.
- Skincare alone does not stop natural ageing; prominent expression lines can be treated with Botox or hyaluronic acid.
Everyone loves tips against facial wrinkles – who wants fine lines to become a permanent reminder on their face? The sensitive eye area, the forehead and the area between the eyebrows are particularly prone to expression lines, which form from smiling, furrowing the forehead or squinting.
The good news: with the right lifestyle and targeted skincare, the first signs of ageing can be delayed significantly. If you want to prevent wrinkles, you can apply tips against wrinkles such as skin protection, a healthy diet and medical know-how.
4 tips against wrinkles that you can start applying right now:
1. Sun protection – the most important step in preventing wrinkles
UV radiation is the main cause of premature skin ageing and is responsible for around 80% of wrinkle formation. Recent studies show that chemical UV filters may carry risks, such as hormonal effects or harm to skin health. So choose your protection wisely.
Our recommendation: use a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide – it protects reliably without penetrating deep into the skin. In addition, avoid direct midday sun, seek shade and protect yourself with a hat or long clothing. This way you can prevent wrinkles without putting unnecessary strain on your skin.
2. Skincare
To prevent wrinkles, choose skincare rich in active ingredients. The products don’t have to be expensive – they just need the right ingredients.
Proven ingredients:
- Hyaluronic acid, to bind moisture deep in the skin
- Retinol, to encourage cell renewal
- Antioxidants, to protect against environmental influences
Important: cleanse your skin thoroughly in the evening to remove oil, dirt and make-up. Then apply a night moisturiser, especially to the sensitive eye area, where laughter lines often appear first.
3. A healthy lifestyle – natural wrinkle prevention
Your lifestyle affects your skin. Lack of sleep, stress, nicotine and dehydration show over time. A healthy lifestyle is a cornerstone in the fight against wrinkles. Pay attention to:
- Sufficient sleep (at least 7 hours a night)
- Drinking water – at least 2 litres a day
- A vitamin-rich diet with fruit, vegetables and healthy fats
- Cutting down on alcohol and avoiding smoking
- Physical activity improves blood circulation, reduces stress and supports skin renewal
4. Skincare alone is not enough
Despite all the tips against facial wrinkles and conscious skincare, the natural ageing process cannot be stopped completely. Prominent expression lines such as a frown line or laughter lines may remain visible. In such cases, we offer targeted help. With a gentle injection of Botox or hyaluronic acid, bothersome wrinkles are smoothed and the face looks fresh and relaxed, without surgical intervention.
Consistently applying tips against wrinkles starts at a young age. With consistent sun protection, targeted skincare and a healthy lifestyle, signs of ageing can be delayed significantly. And if the first fine lines do appear, the Dermacare clinic in Petah Tikva offers professional medical help with gentle wrinkle treatments, so that you feel comfortable in your skin at all times.

Frequently asked questions
Botox is a liquid protein that relaxes, in a targeted way, the muscles that cause wrinkles to form. As a result, the wrinkles are reduced. The substance is injected directly into the muscle that causes the wrinkle. The effect lasts between 4 and 6 months.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural, gel-like substance that is injected into or under the skin. Thanks to its ability to bind water, the substance adds volume to the tissue, and so helps reduce wrinkles or smooth the skin. Depending on the product used, hyaluronic acid is broken down by the body over 9 to 24 months.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. Chemically, it is a chain of sugar molecules with a very high capacity to absorb and retain water. In anti-aging, hyaluronic acid is used to treat wrinkles because of its ability to bind an amount of water 6,000 times its own weight – that is, one gram of hyaluronic acid can absorb up to 6 litres of water. In the human body, most hyaluronic acid is found in the skin, where it helps hold the cells together and keeps the skin moisturised. It is also found in the joints and the eyes.
From the age of 25, the body produces less hyaluronic acid, and by the age of 60 only about 10% of the original reserve remains in the body.
After a treatment, physical rest is needed. It is therefore recommended to avoid intensive physical exertion such as sport, saunas and direct sun for 3-5 days, depending on the extent of the treatment. After that, you can return to normal activity without restrictions.
Within the first week, avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are particularly suitable for treating expression lines around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, hollow cheeks, hollows under the eyes (tear trough contouring) and the jawline. In addition, hyaluronic acid is also used to contour the chin, add volume to the lips and rejuvenate the skin of the neck and décolletage. At Dermacare clinic, hyaluronic acid is combined in particular in the vampire facial (PRP), in which platelet-rich plasma is injected together with hyaluronic acid. This treatment helps to smooth, tighten and renew the skin for a young, fresh look.
