Withering of the skin is a natural process, but quite unpleasant and extremely depressing for women.It is not at all necessary for this to happen in adulthood.Almost from the moment of puberty, the skin begins to age.But this doesn't have to be a disaster.Wrinkles do not appear unexpectedly.The skin gradually loses elasticity, turgor, pales, sebum secretion decreases and the pores dilate.This should be the first sign for you.
The first wrinkles appear on the forehead.Then grooves are “cut” in the direction from the nose to the chin, in the outer corners of the eyes and, finally, on the neck, chin and upper lip.Wrinkles can be seen in people of all ages.Past infectious, chronic diseases, disorders of the nervous and endocrine systems, female, gastrointestinal and other diseases weaken the general resistance of the body, reduce the elasticity of the skin and it begins to wrinkle.Therefore, wrinkles can appear at a very young age.Frequent exposure to the outdoors, especially if weather conditions are unfavorable, as well as tanning cause early wrinkles.Remember this when you are outdoors.Sea air is rich not only in iodine and ozone, but also contains sea salt, which destroys the skin.You can ruin your skin if you improperly perform the simplest cosmetic and hygiene procedures.Frequent washing with hot water, soap and the use of liquid powders and tinted creams significantly accelerate the aging process.
If this happens too prematurely, consult a doctor or visit a cosmetologist.Maybe you suffer from some type of illness or make a serious mistake in skin care.But you can help the skin a little to activate regeneration mechanisms, stimulate metabolism and also help restore collagen fibers.People with sagging skin also need a general strengthening regimen: daily gymnastics, sports exercises, walks.It is recommended to take vitamin B1 and also massage your face.The first sessions should be carried out no more than once every three days, and as the skin tone increases, every two days.The full course of treatment consists of 15 to 20 massage sessions.
Wrinkles appear in people of all ages, even very young girls.Sometimes this is due to excessively animated grimaces and facial expressions.The way you laugh also contributes to the formation of wrinkles.For some people, laughter causes a sharp contraction of all facial muscles.Premature appearance of wrinkles is also observed when the head is positioned incorrectly during sleep.Many people sleep with a pillow far below their head, their head resting on their chest, and wrinkles form in their neck and chin.
However, a serious problem is wrinkles that form with age-related body changes.Between the ages of 30 and 40, the number of wrinkles increases.The skin undergoes important changes: it loses density and elasticity due to the degeneration and death of elastic fibers.If a marked delineation of wrinkles begins on the forehead, nasolabial folds, chin folds, and the skin becomes sagging, it is necessary to take serious care of the skin.
It is recommended to lightly tap your face with your fingertips for 5 minutes every day.This improves blood circulation in the skin and strengthens it.It is also advisable to clean your face with a cold saline solution (half a teaspoon of salt per glass of water).People with developing wrinkles should avoid exposure to direct sunlight.Always apply cream to your face before going out.
Procedures that prevent skin aging and wrinkle formation include oil wraps, compresses and irritants, of which the most natural and effective is honey.True, for this it is necessary that it is not prone to allergic reactions and that the capillaries are not located close to the skin.Products that help restore collagen are substances containing pectin: apples, currants, blueberries, and intensive masks made with these products.
Oil compresses and wraps are very powerful remedies.To prepare them, fold a towel or napkin into a strip 20 to 25 cm wide, dip it in hot water, wring it out, and then place it over your face.Half of the compress covers the chin from below, and the ends are applied to the cheeks, forehead and nose (only the mouth and nostrils remain free).
All masks can be used in this way: apply to the skin, cover it with gauze and place a hot, damp towel on top.It is necessary to keep this compress for about 40 minutes, periodically changing the towel so that it is constantly warm.
The products prepared for skin that shows the first signs of aging are the “Emergency Help” lines: creams and intensive care products, with bioadditives, active substances and, probably, hormones.This is why these lines should be used in courses;As much as necessary, not anymore.Do not be tempted to extend these courses because it may have the opposite effect.The effectiveness of these remedies lies in their correct use.
Cosmetics for skin rejuvenation.
We should probably talk more about these media.Before looking for the elixir of youth on the shelves, visit the gynecologist.External aging and loss of attractiveness are often associated with disorders of the reproductive system.Pay attention to the menstrual cycle, the condition of the mammary glands and general health.Sometimes the reason is not where we look.
But if your problem is cosmetic, then you should choose what is best for you.So don't be fooled by a random ad on the centerfold of a women's magazine, but turn to catalogs.Many companies offer lines of cosmetics for mature skin, but when choosing, preference should be given to those that specifically specialize in medicinal cosmetics and care cosmetics.Product catalogs that literally flood all cosmetic stores will help you in this.In these catalogs, decorative cosmetics are presented as if complete, while most of them are dedicated to various care products.Oriflame produces good emergency and care products for mature skin, as well as cosmetics to combat acne and anti-cellulite products.
All anti-aging products can be divided into several groups: products that provide vitamins, products that have a lifting effect and products that use biologically active substances for rejuvenation.
The vitamin content in these products varies.In Europe there are stricter restrictions on vitamin content, so Swedish, German and French products are milder.Anti-aging products with mild pure retinol that do not contain critical doses are common in Europe.
In the United States, these standards do not apply, so American products contain massive doses of vitamins, especially A and E. If you want an instant effect, turn to these American-made products.In the United States, however, these medications are available with a prescription, but in Europe many of them are simply prohibited.Although this rarely stops our women.
Antioxidant complexes are no longer just retinoids, but a complex of vitamins and dietary supplements.Many products are made from natural substances.These are more complex and promising drugs.The effect of all these substances is protective, general strengthening and replenishes what the skin loses as a result of aging.Many products contain collagen along with an anti-aging complex, which replenishes its deficiency in the skin.The oval of the face is strengthened, the cheeks are rounded and the nasolabial and chin folds are less noticeable.
Products that have a lifting and peeling effect are varied, but essentially they differ only in the depth of action and additives to nourish and stimulate regeneration.The main thing is to provide the skin with adequate nutrition after lifting.If this procedure is abused, the regeneration reserves of new cells will be depleted and the skin will become dry, brittle and wrinkles will attack it strongly.Peeling and lifting should not be carried away excessively.
Gentle exfoliants combined with substances that stimulate cell growth and division are the best option.Improved nutrition with a complex of vitamins and mineral supplements, fats, protectors and disinfectants - this is what the skin needs after peeling and lifting.
The most expensive new products are those that contain hormones, biological material and superdoses of various vitamins.Hormones are clearly harmful and cannot be used long term, unless it is for treatment of hormonal disorders.Its regular use causes changes in the body's hormonal levels.The hormonal system is a delicate area and its intervention can have irreversible and unpredictable consequences, and not only for the skin.One thing is reliably and definitively known: if a certain hormone regularly enters the body, it stops being produced.Therefore, the opinion of many researchers and doctors is that only short-term use of hormones is justified, so to speak, as a boost to recovery.
Various biological materials have been used in cosmetology since time immemorial and are used in the latest developments, from placenta preparations (the safest) to sperm and endocrine glands;Magical and magical properties have been attributed to them.There is a lot of historical evidence and descriptions of the more exotic rejuvenation methods using such drugs.
Your material well-being, the condition of your skin, the strength of your desire to prolong youth, the hopelessness of the situation, as well as the courage that is needed for such experiments - these are your advisors in this case.But forget about guarantees!
In the first stage, when there are practically no wrinkles left, it is advisable to use products containing vitamins A and E, and the so-called antioxidant complexes.It can be combined with taking vitamins orally.This is the first and gentlest way to help the skin recover.In Europe, these medications are preferred as they are the safest and most effective.Its use significantly delays the appearance of the first wrinkles.
Do not forget about the oval of the face, which forms the answer to the question of how old you are in the visual analyzer.Collagen fibers and facial muscles atrophy and the roundness of the cheeks disappears, especially if teeth have been removed.Skin color changes and tobacco, coffee, tea and lack of fresh air accelerate this process.Therefore, the next step is peeling in combination with nourishing and regenerating agents.
There are also products that retain water in tissues.For some reason they are called "strengthening", although this is only a visual effect and short-lived.These products cannot be considered harmful, but they also do not contain anything useful.In the event that you are going to “go out into the world” and are not satisfied with your appearance, you can try one of them.They usually contain soy proteins.For some time, the skin will look firmer and smoother.The cream acts for several hours.After this, the skin returns to its normal state.
Cosmetologists studying the problems of skin aging have made a surprising observation: when a woman is in love, she looks younger!Hormones are released that stimulate the regeneration of collagen fibers, the complexion changes and the skin acquires a radiant tone.So popular wisdom was right again: a happy woman is always beautiful!
Additional rejuvenation products
There are few cosmetic products for skin rejuvenation.We will describe them in more detail in a separate chapter.Of course, not everything can be done at home.But there is something available: massages, use of muscle stimulants, peelings for mature skin.The massage should not be just manual;The use of myostimulators with facial applicators helps a lot.These devices are sometimes called “youth masks”;there are other names.Some are equipped with noble metal electrodes.To enhance the effect, myogels and gels with various additives are used.
Why do these remedies help?The muscles of the face determine its contour.With age, muscles atrophy and this changes the face: the roundness characteristic of young people disappears, which contributes to the appearance of wrinkles.Myostimulators force facial muscles to train and can partially restore their elasticity and prevent their atrophy.
Peels for mature skin are strong exfoliating agents that remove the top layer of the epidermis, revealing a new layer of skin cells.
It is not a peeling as such, but rather intensive care that should prolong the life of the cells in this new layer.After the peeling, the most effective and nutritious creams should be applied to the skin to provide the best protection.Only in this way will the peeling effect be reversed, because the cells that are exposed when the top layer is removed are extremely delicate and can be easily damaged.
There are methods that can be considered almost surgical: the introduction of biogels, the implantation of gold threads and mesotherapy.And finally, there is the ridectomy, or surgical rejuvenation method, which we call a facelift.You should not rush to adopt the most radical methods until all other possibilities have been exhausted.This is the only advice that can be given to those who choose a way to recover runtime.We must start, of course, with intensive peels and masks, as well as the "Emergency" cosmetic lines.Some masks produce a simply amazing effect, despite the fact that their composition is quite simple.Gelatin, apples, currants and blueberries help restore collagen fibers, honey promotes regeneration.You can add a drop of an oil solution of vitamins A and E, aloe extract, gingko biloba and ginseng to the masks.
