It is a known fact that wrinkles are an inevitable result of the process of aging, but fine lines have a bigger underlying cause.
You'll notice certain lines and creases on your face where you make repetitive movements, like around your eyes and mouth. These lines are more on the surface of the skin - they're not as deep as wrinkles, but they eventually go on to become permanent.
So, every time you smile, blow air kisses to your friends, pout your lips for that perfect Instagram selfie, have your favorite drinks through a straw - the creases formed around your mouth at the time go on to become deeper wrinkles.
And no, this does not mean you should become an expressionless, stoic person, there are some healthy practices you can take up to minimize the appearance of these fine lines.
Let's delve into these!
As we age, the production of elastin and collagen (skin proteins responsible for firmness and suppleness) in our skin drops, leading to the formation of wrinkles and lines.
But the skin on our face is the most delicate skin on the entire body - making it more susceptible to age-related changes.
This means that your face is the first to show these signs of aging.
Barcode Lines are the vertical lines atop your lips that resemble the look of barcodes. Hence the name. These are mostly a direct result of the natural process of aging. But we too inadvertently end up contributing to an increase in the appearance of these lines, let's explore them.
Tobacco smoke causes “Oxidative Stress” (which means, it saps oxygen levels) in the individual cells of your skin that contain collagen.
And if you know a thing or two about collagen, it is one of the main proteins responsible for maintaining your skin’s suppleness and firmness. The result, as expected, is the deepening and thickening of all manner of wrinkles!
In fact, smoking also hampers your skin barrier. Nicotine, the actual stimulant within tobacco, promotes the “apoptosis” of Keratinocytes. Now what are Keratino-cytes? These are specialized cells that form your skin’s protective moisture barrier.
Great, so what’s “apoptosis” then—you may ask?
Well, apoptosis is a scientific term that more or less describes cell death.
So, yes.
Nicotine essentially causes the death of these crucial cells that maintain your skin barrier.
Decrease in collagen
A hampered skin microbiome means an impaired skin barrier!
But what is a skin microbiome, you may ask?
The skin microbiome is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mites, that reside on the skin's surface.
These microorganisms play an important role in maintaining skin health by protecting against harmful pathogens, aiding in the immune response, and maintaining the skin barrier.
So, now you might wonder how you’ve somehow contributed to its deterioration, right?
Apart from the way your skin is influenced by environmental factors like pollution and sunlight, or by your lifestyle choices and habits, there are some common mistakes we tend to make:
Harsh Skincare Products: Overuse of products with strong detergents, alcohols, and acids can strip the skin of its natural oils and beneficial bacteria.
Over-Exfoliation: Frequent exfoliation can damage the skin barrier and disturb the microbial balance.
So, gentle yet effective skincare is a must!
Are you aware that your everyday habits could be causing more harm to your skin than you realize? Mechanical damage, often overlooked, plays a significant role in the aging process.
Every time you rub your eyes, tug at your skin during makeup removal, or even sleep in a certain position, you're essentially contributing to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers in your skin.
But while you can’t hit the rewind button and magically go back to your 20s—there are ways you can protect your skin and give it the loving nourishment it needs to reduce the signs of aging and the look of skin damage!
The key to managing these unwanted signs of aging, lies in making proactive, longevity-focused skincare choices. And no, this doesn’t mean turning to invasive or expensive treatments—but embracing the wisdom of Mother Nature herself. How?
By using timeless, time-tested ingredients revered in the ancient holistic practice of life and wellness—having both withstood the rigors of time (over 5,000 years and counting) as well as the precise scrutiny of modern-day science—Ayurveda.
Elastin fibers breaking under the skin
In Ayurveda, there are 3 ingredients in particular that are revered for their ability to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, puffiness & uneven skin and bring back your glow. These are:
1. Saffron
“Red Gold”
2. Turmeric
“The Golden Spice”
3. Rose
“The Queen of Flowers”
Let’s start with
SAFFRON
This prized flower—a tiny burst of purple radiance with a fiery red heart (its brilliant red, trumpet-shaped stigma)—grows natively only in certain parts of the world. It prefers fallowed fields raked by an arid breeze under a baking summer sun. Harvesting it not easy either—for the vast tracts of land, the right climate, and the labor-intensive techniques it requires.
Beyond its alluring scent and subtle flavor, this multifaceted, highly sought-after spice holds innumerable skin-rejuvenating secrets which the ancients knew well about (and guarded zealously!)
Saffron is revered in Ayurveda for its ability to brighten and improve the look of one's skin tone, making it appear more vibrant and luminous. And if you’re dealing with skin irritation or puffiness—Saffron's potent prowess may be of use to you.
For a salve made with Saffron is known to calm irritated skin, reduce the look of puffiness and even out the complexion! Plus, Saffron helps fight off the look of everyday stressors on your skin including environmental pollutants, and yes even, the effects of smoking, helping you smooth the look of unwanted fine lines and wrinkles.
Next, let’s look at
TURMERIC
also known as “golden spice,” due to its innumerable benefits!
Turmeric isn’t just a popular spice. In Ayurveda, it’s prized for the sheer volume of its capabilities (too many to list here!), including several sought-after effects that make it the natural care staple that it is.
Rich in curcumin, Turmeric is renowned for its ability to brighten and energize the look of the skin restoring that natural, healthy-looking glow.
Turmeric is also known to support the skin’s natural protective barrier. Plus, it reduces the look of puffiness, balances the skin’s complexion, and grants a more even-looking skin tone.
The takeaway—if you're prone to puffy and dull-looking skin due to natural aging—turmeric is a must-have in your skincare routine.
And lastly, the third ingredient is
ROSE,
aka the Queen of Flowers!
Rose oil and rose water are naturally soothing, so they calm the skin, ease irritation, and give your complexion a more even tone. They also guard against stressors that speed up aging, such as smoking, helping to fend off those fine lines by reinforcing your skin’s defenses.
Rose water doubles as a fantastic toner, too—for it not only refreshes and cools the skin, but also promotes a smoother, firmer-looking appearance. Meanwhile, Rose Oil is a known powerhouse for skin repair. It gives a collagen-rich look, which is essential for firm, youthful skin.
LOCKS IN MOISTURE
INTENSE HYDRATION
NO OILY RESIDUE
Hydration is a critical factor in fighting the signs of aging and skin damage. And no, we don’t mean reaching for the crusty tube of that everyday, off-the-shelf moisturizer you may have used in your 20s either.
Why?
Because you don’t WANT something that just coats the top layer of your skin in moisture that disappears in minutes.
What you NEED is something that penetrates the many layers of your skin giving you intense hydration from within.
And how do you get it?
WITH SESAME OIL!
Sesame oil is an excellent hydrator for lackluster skin.
This is because of its unique ability to increase the water content of the individual cells through the skin's many layers.
That means Sesame Oil doesn't just stay on the surface (like most moisturizers)—it actually goes deeper to restore and maintain the skin's hydration levels. This is because sesame oil is rich in linoleic and oleic acids, which are fatty acids that enhance the skin's lipid barrier.
This barrier is essential for trapping moisture and keeping the skin hydrated and plump. After it sinks into the skin, it forms a light, protective layer that prevents water loss, without clogging pores.
This means your skin stays hydrated for longer periods, but without leaving an oily residue.
Now that you have our secrets to naturally reduce the appearance of wrinkles and barcode lines at bay—you might want to whip up your own face oil!
And you could…
But bear in mind that saffron is the most expensive spice in the world (it can cost THOUSANDS per kilo) and turmeric gets messy and can stain your hands and anything you touch while preparing it.
Plus, while rose water is cheap and easy to source, the real magic is in ROSE OIL, as it gives a collagen-rich look.
But like saffron, rose oil can be expensive to buy given how labor-intensive the production process is.
Plus, if you were to make your own face oil using saffron, rose oil, rose water, turmeric and sesame oil, you’d need to know the EXACT quantities to ensure you get the best results without making your skin overly oily, stained or even irritated.
So to save yourself the mess, fuss and time you’d spend sourcing and making an oil like this yourself…
There is another solution that’s also kind on your purse strings too.

MIRACLES HAPPEN
“At my age and after being a smoker, which I quit a year and a half ago, I was tired of trying everything and anything at any price for my skin. Some products (even medicated by the dermatologist) would work for some days and afterwards I would have the same condition. Dull skin, sun damage, oily huge pores, and saggy face. I started using it at the end of November 2017. From day 1 my skin started showing signs of improvement. My face started getting firmer and incredibly balanced no oily nose anymore. My pores smaller, the spots and wrinkles have been disappearing, my friends are actually amazed with the change and such short period of time. I use it with my kansa wand and I cannot be happier. I am using the half of the make up I had to use before to conceal the spots and all that which I see will be problems of the past.”
