How to rejuvenate facial skin at home

Every woman wants to stay young and beautiful. But over time, youth passes, the first signs of aging appear, followed by deeper wrinkles. The beauty industry offers a wide range of skin care products, cosmetic procedures and vitamins to nourish the skin. But in search of natural, effective and inexpensive lifting products, we turn to folk recipes and self-rejuvenating methods.

Causes of wrinkles

The problem of the appearance of wrinkles cannot be completely eliminated, but it can delay the aging of the skin. And to do this is much easier than smoothing out already existing wrinkles. Wrinkles and their premature appearance are not only a cosmetic defect but also a sign of problems in the body. It is important to take a holistic approach to their prevention and elimination, as the causes of aging do not always lie in the characteristics of the skin. The following factors can cause the appearance of wrinkles and premature aging of the skin:

• overweight and sudden weight loss: under the pressure of excess fat, facial skin sags, facial muscles weaken, significant weight loss, oval face does not have time to firm up according to the new body shape;
• bad habits: alcohol and smoking lead to dehydration of the skin and inhibition of metabolism, and at the same time, the skin's elasticity weakens, the skin deteriorates;
• unhealthy lifestyle: unbalanced diet, stress, lack of physical activity and proper rest wear out the body, can not but affect the condition of the skin;
• using low-quality cosmetics: cosmetics may contain low-quality or important synthetic ingredients that will not benefit your facial skin;
• unfavorable ecology: the skin absorbs harmful substances present in the air, is exposed to harsh environments (frost and sunlight), and as a result the skin becomes dehydrated;
• health problems: wrinkles can only be a symptom of a more serious illness and hormonal disorder;
• genetic predisposition: to know what awaits your face in the future, look closely at the faces of your elderly relatives;
• Facial structure: misalignment, weak chin can cause wrinkles.

Features of lifting care

A complex of anti-aging procedures cannot be common to all normal sexes. Cosmetic care depends on your specific age, skin type and type of wrinkles you have to deal with. There are two main types of wrinkles:

• imitation (or dynamic) - appeared in our life first; each person has their own way of expressing emotions on the face, facial wrinkles appear in areas of facial muscle contraction;
• static (age, gravity) - a person meets them already in adulthood; Such wrinkles appear regardless of facial features: aging skin, reduced collagen production, loss of elasticity, sagging ovals. Under the influence of gravity, flabby skin tends to collapse and appear milia on the face.

The first wrinkles, due to an active facial expression or inadequate care, can appear as early as after the age of 25.

How to deal with wrinkles depends on age

Throughout life, our face undergoes a number of changes, as a result of which wrinkles of different depths appear on it:

1. First, we have to deal with superficial wrinkles - a thin network that has affected the top layer of the skin. They appear between the ages of 25-30, so prevention should be carried out as soon as possible. At this time, it is necessary to provide adequate nutrition to the skin, avoid stress, bad habits, observe sleep and wake up. The network of superficial wrinkles can be eliminated by peeling, relaxing facial massage and moisturizing cosmetics.

   People with dry skin are often afraid of the early appearance of wrinkles. Dehydration is one of the causes of the first wrinkles that appear on the skin, which are difficult to smooth out later. However, oily and normal skin also needs proper care, along with a thorough skin cleansing.

   

   Superficial wrinkles appear not only due to active facial expression but also due to loss of moisture in the skin.

2. Later superficial wrinkles can develop into medium deep wrinkles due to a violation of collagen production between the ages of 40-55. During this period, the synthesis of collagen, the main substance responsible for skin elasticity, slows down. The skin begins to lose its elasticity. At this stage, it is important to combine a healthy lifestyle with meticulous care: cleansing the face, using moisturizing and lifting products. To get rid of medium-deep wrinkles, a serious synthetic approach is needed.

3. During the formation of deep wrinkles, in addition to the layers of the epidermis, subcutaneous fat is also involved. The degree of expression of those wrinkles depends on the environment, care and genetic factors. Over time, the quality of the skin begins to deteriorate and the oval begins to sag. Usually these defects appear between the ages of 55–65. Means designed to nourish dehydrated skin and collagen do not penetrate the deeper layers of the dermis, and are therefore not very effective. Therefore, for all the procedures that have been applied, additional massage, facial exercises and special devices for rejuvenation are required. In the fight against deep wrinkles, cosmetic hardware and plastic surgery come to the rescue.

For each age there is the most effective care. But when you pass a certain age limit, you shouldn't give up all previous cosmetic procedures - add new ones to them, and such an integrated approach will lead to a different outcome. better results.

General recommendations to preserve youth

Over time, the skin fades, so it's our job to delay the onset of this unpleasant phenomenon. Recommendations for prolonging youth are similar to those for maintaining general health:

• eat in moderation and balance;
• go in for sports;
• drink enough water (at least 1. 5 liters per day);
• get enough sleep (sleep should last at least 6 hours);
• Eliminate tobacco and alcohol from your life. The main recommendation to stay young at any age is to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

To maintain radiant skin and a plump oval face, cleansing, nourishing, and tightening products and procedures are also essential.

To protect your face from the appearance of a second chin, choose a comfortable orthopedic pillow for sleeping, not reading while lying down, and observe your posture. The low tilt of the head causes the formation of folds in the skin, which later turn into a cosmetic defect.

Anti-aging care at home

At-home cosmetic procedures can include both the use of ready-made products (store-bought) and an all-natural approach, with homemade creams and masks.

At the age of 35, metabolism slows down and it is no longer enough to work with creams in the top layer of the skin. Exercise helps accelerate blood circulation, cells are saturated with oxygen, wrinkles are smoothed from the inside;
• hardware aesthetics: progress does not stand still, so you can perform professional cosmetic procedures yourself with the help of special equipment. Over the years, even with careful care, skin quality deteriorates, moderate and deep wrinkles appear, and the face sags. The problem of aging after the age of 45 is solved with salon procedures and plastic surgery, or with cosmetic devices at home;
• Strange rejuvenation method: Achatina snail. The mucus of these mollusks contains a large amount of substances that restore and nourish the skin. With this procedure, superficial wrinkles disappear and deeper wrinkles are smoothed. Snail therapy will be useful both in 30 years and 50 years.
