Salah Oles Skincare Can Make Skin Quickly Wrinkled, Really?

JAKARTA - In the use of skincare every day, the application to the face must be very much considered. In applying it should not be rude, because it risks causing damage to the skin.

This was conveyed by dermatologist consultant, dr. Stephanie Ho, quoted from CNA, on Monday, September 8, 2025. He said applying toners or moisturizers roughly could damage collagen and elastin on the skin.

"Repeated and rough facial skin manipulation when applying skincare products can damage elastic fiber and collagen, interfere with the function of fibroblastas, and accelerate aging, causing signs such as sagging and wrinkled skin," said Stephanie Ho.

Signs of damage and aging will usually appear in very sensitive areas of facial skin, such as those around the eyes. This impact may not be realized in the short term, but it needs to be watched out for because it can appear gradually.

Using skincare products aggressively can also cause micro rips on the skin protection layer. This can cause more serious skin problems, such as irritation, friction, which causes discomfort.

"Oddly rubbed can create friction on the skin, which results in redness and discomfort," he added.

Thus, it is very important to apply skincare products to the face gently. This will help the skin to avoid damage and the product can be absorbed better.

It should also be noted that as you get older, collagen production will decrease. If external factors such as using skincare are also not true, it can be even more risky in skin health.

"As age increases, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production, all of which are important for tightness and skin hydration will decrease," said Cambridge Medical Group medical director dr. Shirley Kwee.

"That's why it's important to apply products gently, with light stress and a touch of concern, especially around sensitive areas like the eye," concluded Kwee.
