Skin withering is a natural, but rather unpleasant and extremely depressing process for women.It is not at all necessary that this will 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, turns pale, sebum secretion decreases, and the pores stretch.This should be the first signal for you.
The very first wrinkles appear on the forehead.Then grooves are “cut” in the direction from the nose to the chin, at the outer corners of the eyes and, finally, on the neck, chin and upper lip.Wrinkles can be observed in people of all ages.Past infectious, chronic diseases, disorders of the nervous and endocrine systems, women's, gastrointestinal and other diseases weaken the body's overall resistance, 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 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, it also contains sea salt, which destroys the skin.You can ruin your skin by improperly carrying out the simplest cosmetic and hygiene procedures.Frequent washing with hot water, soap, and the use of liquid powder and tinted 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 some serious mistakes in skin care.But you can help the skin a little to turn on regeneration mechanisms, stimulate metabolism, and also help restore collagen fibers.For people with loose skin, a general strengthening regimen is also necessary: 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 other day.The entire course of treatment consists of 15–20 massage sessions.
Wrinkles occur in people of all ages, even very young girls.Sometimes this is due to grimacing, excessively lively 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 high under their head, their head leans on their chest, and wrinkles form on their neck and chin.
However, a serious problem is represented by those wrinkles that form with age-related changes in the body.Between 30 and 40 years, the number of wrinkles increases.The skin undergoes significant 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, chin folds and the skin becomes flaccid, it is necessary to seriously take 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 wipe 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 outside.
Procedures that prevent skin aging and the formation of wrinkles include oil wraps, compresses, irritants, of which the most natural and effective is honey.True, for this it is necessary that you are 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 from these products.
Oil compresses and wraps are very powerful remedies.To prepare them, fold a towel or napkin into a strip 20–25 cm wide, dip it in hot water, wring it out and then lay it on your face.The middle 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, wet towel on top.You need to keep this compress for about 40 minutes, periodically changing the towel so that it is constantly hot.
Ready-made products for skin that is showing the first signs of aging are the “Emergency Help” lines: creams and intensive care products, with bioadditives, active substances and, probably, hormones.That is why such lines need to be used in courses - as much as needed, no longer.Do not be tempted to extend such courses because it may have the opposite effect.The effectiveness of such remedies lies in their correct use.
Cosmetics for skin rejuvenation
Probably, we should talk about such means in more detail.Before looking for the elixir of youth on the shelves, pay a visit to 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 are looking.
But if your problem is cosmetic, 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 catalogues.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 cosmetics stores, will help you with this.In those catalogs, decorative cosmetics are presented as if only for the sake of completeness, while the main part is devoted to various care products.Oriflame produces good emergency and care products for mature skin, as well as cosmetics to fight 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 the content of vitamins, so Swedish, German and French products are gentler.In Europe, anti-aging products with gentle pure 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 instant effect, then resort to such American-made products.In America, however, these drugs are available by prescription, but in Europe many of these drugs 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 become rounded, and the nasolabial folds and folds at the chin are less noticeable.
Products that have a lifting and peeling effect are varied, but essentially 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 procedure is abused, the reserves of regeneration of new cells will be depleted and the skin will become dry, brittle, and wrinkles attack it with a vengeance.Peeling and lifting should not be carried away excessively.
Gentle exfoliants combined with substances that stimulate cell growth and division are the best choice.Enhanced nutrition with a complex of vitamins and mineral supplements, fats, protective 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 due to hormonal disorders.Their regular use leads to changes in the body's hormonal levels.The hormonal system is a delicate area, and interference with it can lead to irreversible and unpredictable consequences, and not only for the skin.One thing is reliably and definitely known: if a certain hormone regularly enters the body, it ceases to be produced.So the opinion of many researchers and doctors is that only short-term use of hormones is justified, so to speak, as an impetus for recovery.
Various biological materials that are used in the latest developments, from placenta preparations (the safest) to sperm and endocrine glands, have been used in cosmetology since time immemorial; magical and magical properties have been attributed to them.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 that is needed for such experiments - these are your advisors in this case.But forget about guarantees!
At the first stage, when there are practically no wrinkles, you should use products that contain vitamins A and E, and so-called antioxidant complexes.Can be combined with taking vitamins orally.This is the very first and gentlest way to help the skin recover itself.In Europe, these drugs are preferred as 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 forms in the visual analyzer 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 you have extracted teeth.Skin color changes, 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 tissues.For some reason they are called “strengthening”, although this is just a visual effect, and a short-term one.These products cannot be called harmful, but there is nothing useful in them either.In the case when you are going “out into the world” and are unhappy with your appearance, you can try one of them.They usually contain soy proteins.For some time, the skin will look firmer and tighter.The cream works for several hours.After this, the skin returns to its normal state.
Cosmetologists who study the problems of skin aging have made an amazing 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 folk 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 something is available - massage, the use of muscle stimulants, peelings for mature skin.Massage should not only be manual; the use of myostimulators with facial applicators helps a lot.Sometimes these devices are called “masks of youth”; 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 the 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, exposing a fresh layer of skin cells.
It's not about peeling, as such, but about the intensive care that should prolong the life of the cells of this new layer.After peeling, the most effective and nourishing creams should be applied to the skin to provide it with the best protection.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 biogels, implantation of gold threads, mesotherapy.And finally, there is a ridectomy, or a surgical method of rejuvenation, which we call a lift.You should not rush into 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 get back the running time.You need to start, of course, with peelings and intensive masks, and the “Emergency” cosmetic lines.Some masks produce a simply amazing effect, despite the fact that their composition is 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.
