Every woman always wants to stay young and beautiful.But over time, youth, the first signs of aging appear, followed by deeper wrinkles.The beauty industry offers many care products, cosmetic procedures and vitamins to nourish the skin.However, in search of natural, effective and cheap lifting products, we turn to folk recipes and methods of self-rejuvenation of the face.
Causes of wrinkles
It is impossible to completely get rid of the problem of wrinkles, but you can delay the aging of the skin.And it's easier to do than to smooth out already visible wrinkles.Wrinkles and their early appearance are not only a cosmetic defect, but also an indicator of problems in the body.It is important to take a comprehensive approach to prevention and elimination, because the causes of aging do not always lie in the characteristics of the skin.The following factors can impair the appearance of wrinkles and premature aging of the skin:
- With excess weight and sudden weight gain, skin folds, facial muscles weaken and sudden weight loss, the oval of the face does not have time to tighten itself according to the new shape;
- Bad habits: Alcohol and smoking cause dehydration of the skin and inhibit metabolic processes, and the elasticity of the skin weakens and the skin deteriorates;
- Unhealthy lifestyle: unbalanced diet, stress, lack of physical activity and proper rest cannot affect the condition of the body;
- Use of low-quality cosmetics: cosmetics may contain synthetic low-quality or critical components that do not benefit your face;
- Unfavorable ecology: the skin is exposed to an aggressive environment of harmful substances in the air (frost and sunlight) and becomes dehydrated as a result of all this;
- Health problems: Wrinkles can only be a symptom of a more serious disease and hormonal disorders;
- Genetically inclined: Take a closer look at the faces of your elderly relatives to know what awaits your face in the future;
- Facial structure: improper bite, weak jaw can cause wrinkles.
Lifting care features
A set of anti-aging procedures cannot be common to the fair sex.Cosmetic care depends on the specific age, skin type and types of wrinkles to be treated.
There are two main types of wrinkles:
- Mimic (or dynamic) - first appears in our life;Expression of emotions on the face of each person and facial wrinkles appear in areas of active contraction of facial muscles;
- Static (age-related, gravity) - a person already encounters at the age of puberty;Such wrinkles appear regardless of facial features: as the skin ages, collagen production decreases, elasticity is lost, and the oval sag.Under the influence of weight, loose skin becomes lower and facial ptosis.
The first wrinkles caused by active facial expressions or insufficient care can appear up to 25 years.
Ways to fight wrinkles depending on age
Those with dry skin should be especially concerned about the premature appearance of wrinkles.Dehydration is one of the reasons for the appearance of the first wrinkles, which will be difficult to smooth in the future.However, oily and normal skin also needs proper care along with thorough cleansing.
During our life, our face goes through a series of changes, resulting in wrinkles of different depths:
- First, we encounter superficial wrinkles - a thin mesh that affects the top layer of the skin.They appear at the age of 25-30, so prevention should start as early as possible.At this time, it is important to protect the skin from insufficient nutrition, stress, bad habits, and sleep and wakefulness.The network of superficial wrinkles can be removed by peeling, relaxing face massage and moisturizing cosmetics.
- Later on, superficial wrinkles can turn into medium-deep wrinkles later in the age of 40-55, caused by impaired collagen production.During this period, collagen synthesis, 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 careful care: clean your face, use moisturizers and lifting products.
- In addition to the layers of the epidermis, the subcutaneous fat tissue is involved in the formation of deep wrinkles.The degree to which such wrinkles appear depends on environmental conditions, care and genetic predisposition.Over time, the quality of the skin begins to deteriorate and the oval begins to sag.Typically, these defects appear until the age of 55-65.Products designed to provide nutrients and collagen to dehydrated skin do not penetrate the deep layers of the dermis and are therefore not very effective.Therefore, it is necessary to add special devices for massage, facial gymnastics and rejuvenation to all procedures already used.
There is the most effective care at any age.But when you pass a certain age, you should not abandon all previous cosmetic procedures - add a new one to them, and such an integrated approach will lead to better results.
General recommendations for the protection of young people
Over time, the skin fades, so our task is to postpone the onset of this unpleasant phenomenon.Recommendations for prolonging youth are generally similar to recommendations for maintaining health:
- Eat moderately and balanced;
- Playing sports;
- drink enough water (at least 1.5 liters per day);
- Get enough sleep (sleep should last at least 6 hours);
- Eliminate smoking and alcohol from your life.
Cleansing, nourishing, firming products and procedures are also necessary to maintain radiant skin and a toned face.
To protect your face from the appearance of a double chin, choose a comfortable orthopedic pillow for sleep, do not read while sleeping and monitor your posture.A lowered head provokes the formation of a skin fold that will later become a cosmetic defect.
Anti-aging care at home
