Skin wilting is a natural process, but rather 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, turgidity, becomes pale, sebum secretion decreases, pores dilate.This should be the first sign for you.
The very first wrinkles appear on the forehead.Then the furrows are “cut” in the direction from the nose to the chin, to the outer corners of the eyes and, finally, to the neck, chin and upper lip.Wrinkles can be observed in people of all ages.Past infectious and chronic diseases, disorders of the nervous and endocrine systems, women, gastrointestinal diseases and other diseases weaken the overall 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 open air, especially if the weather conditions are unfavorable, as well as tanning cause the formation of premature 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 by improperly carrying out the simplest cosmetic and hygienic procedures.Frequent washing with hot water, soap and the use of liquid powders and colored creams significantly accelerate the aging process.
If this happens too prematurely, consult a doctor or visit a cosmetologist.Perhaps you suffer from some kind of disease or make serious mistakes in skin care.But you can help the skin a little to activate the regeneration mechanisms, stimulate the metabolism and also help restore collagen fibers.For people with loose skin, a general strengthening regimen is also necessary: daily gymnastics, sports exercises, walking.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 other day.The entire treatment cycle consists of 15-20 massage sessions.
Wrinkles appear in people of all ages, even very young girls.Sometimes this is due to grimaces, excessively lively facial expressions.The way you laugh also contributes to the formation of wrinkles.In some people, laughter causes a strong 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 high pillow under their head, their head resting on their chest, and wrinkles form on their neck and chin.
A serious problem, however, is represented by those wrinkles that form with age-related changes in the body.Between the ages of 30 and 40 the number of wrinkles increases.The skin undergoes notable changes: it loses density and elasticity due to the degeneration and death of elastic fibers.If a sharp delineation of wrinkles begins on the forehead, nasolabial folds, chin and the skin becomes flabby, you need to seriously take care of your 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 recommended to cleanse 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 the formation of wrinkles include oil compresses, compresses, irritants, of which the most natural and effective is honey.True, for this it is necessary that you are not subject 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 based on these products.
Oil compresses and compresses are very powerful remedies.To prepare them, fold a towel or napkin into a strip 20–25 cm wide, soak it in hot water, wring it out and then spread it over your face.The central part 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 like this: apply to the skin, cover with gauze and place a warm, 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.
Ready-made products for skin that shows the first signs of aging are the "Emergency Help" lines: creams and products for intensive care, with bioadditives, active ingredients and, probably, hormones.That is why such lines should be used in courses: as much as necessary, not more.Do not be tempted to extend such courses as it may have the opposite effect.The effectiveness of these remedies lies in their correct use.
Cosmetics for skin rejuvenation
We should probably talk about such means in more detail.Before looking for the elixir of youth on the shelves, visit your 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 isn't where we're looking.
But if your problem is aesthetic, then you should choose what is best for you.Therefore, do not fall for a random advertisement in the centerfold of a women's magazine, but turn to catalogs.Many companies offer cosmetic lines for mature skin, but when choosing, preference should still be given to those that specialize specifically in medicinal cosmetics and care cosmetics.Product catalogs, which literally flood all cosmetic stores, will help you with this.In these catalogs, decorative cosmetics are presented only for completeness, while the main part is 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 more serious restrictions on vitamin content, so Swedish, German and French products are more gentle.In Europe, anti-aging products containing pure and delicate retinol that do not contain critical doses are common.
In America, these standards do not apply, so American products contain massive doses of vitamins, especially A and E. If you want to get an immediate effect, resort to such American-made products.In America, however, these drugs are available by prescription, but in Europe many of these drugs are simply banned.Although this rarely stops our women.
Antioxidant complexes are no longer just retinoids, but a complex of vitamins and nutritional supplements.Many products are made with 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 due to 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 become rounded, and the nasolabial folds and chin folds are less noticeable.
Products that have a lifting and peeling effect are various, but essentially they differ only in the depth of action and additives for nutrition and stimulation of regeneration.The main thing is to provide the skin with proper nutrition after lifting.If this process is abused, the regeneration reserves of new cells will be exhausted and the skin will become dry, fragile and wrinkles will attack it violently.Peeling and lifting should not be carried away excessively.
Gentle exfoliants combined with substances that stimulate cell growth and division are the best choice.Improved nutrition with a complex of vitamins and mineral, fatty, protective and disinfectant supplements - this is what the skin needs after peeling and facelift.
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 they are used to treat hormonal disorders.Their regular use leads to changes in the body's hormone levels.The hormonal system is a delicate area, and interference with it can lead to irreversible and unpredictable consequences, and not just for the skin.One thing is certain and certain: if a certain hormone enters the body regularly, it stops being produced.So the opinion of many researchers and doctors is that only the short-term use of hormones is justified, so to speak, as a boost to recovery.
Various biological materials used in the latest developments, from placental preparations (the safest) to sperm and endocrine glands, have been used in cosmetology since time immemorial;magical and magical properties have been attributed to it.There is a lot of historical evidence and descriptions of the most exotic methods of rejuvenation using such drugs.
Your material well-being, skin condition, the strength of your desire to prolong youth, the hopelessness of the situation, as well as the courage necessary for such experiments - these are your advisors in this case.But forget about guarantees!
In the first stage, when there are practically no wrinkles, you should use products that contain vitamins A and E and so-called antioxidant complexes.It can be combined with taking vitamins orally.This is the first and gentlest way to help your skin recover.In Europe, these drugs are preferred because they are the safest and most effective.Their use significantly delays the appearance of the first wrinkles.
Do not forget about the oval of the face, which in the visual analyzer is the answer to the question of how old you are.Collagen fibers and facial muscles atrophy and the roundness of the cheeks disappears, especially if teeth have been extracted.Changes in skin color and smoking, coffee, tea and lack of fresh air accelerate this process.Therefore, the next stage is peeling in combination with nourishing and regenerating agents.
There are also products that retain water in fabrics.For some reason they are called "strengthening", although this is only a visual and short-term effect.These products cannot be called harmful, but they do not contain anything useful either.In case you are going “out in the world” and are not satisfied with your appearance, you can try one.They usually contain soy protein.For some time, the skin will appear firmer and tighter.The cream works for several hours.Subsequently, 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 hue.So popular wisdom was right once 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 something is available: massage, use of muscle stimulants, peeling for mature skin.Massage should not only be 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, the 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 atrophy.
Peels for mature skin are powerful exfoliating agents that remove the top layer of the epidermis, exposing a fresh layer of skin cells.
It is not about the peeling as such, but about the intensive therapy which should prolong the life of the cells of this new layer.After peeling, it is advisable to apply the most effective and nourishing creams to the skin to best protect it.Only then will the peeling effect not be reversed, because the cells that are exposed by removing the top layer are extremely delicate and can be easily damaged.
There are methods that can be considered almost surgical: the introduction of biogel, the implantation of gold threads, mesotherapy.And finally, there is rhydectomy, or a surgical method of rejuvenation, which we call a facelift.You should not rush into the more 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 travel time.We must obviously start with intensive peelings and masks and with the "Emergency" cosmetic lines.Some masks produce a simply amazing effect, despite their composition being completely 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.
