Aging skin problems: what to deal with
Cosmetologists are convinced that skin aging begins at the age of 25. The initial signs are not very noticeable. Gradually, the skin loses its elasticity, loses its ability to retain moisture; after a full night's sleep, the skin does not have time to recover. Every year more and more strong cosmetics are required, there is a need for hairdressing procedures. By the age of 40, the problem becomes apparent, it becomes more and more difficult to hide flaws with makeup. The main signs of aging include:
- change in skin density.
- increased dryness of the skin, noticeable exfoliation.
- enlarged pores and uneven relief.
- uneven pigmentation;
- earthy skin;
- swelling, especially noticeable under the eyes.
- "floats" oval of the face.
- small wrinkles, prone to deepening.
With age, skin type can change. Women who have normal skin in their youth begin to complain of increased dryness. Oily skin suffers from dehydration and irritation, reacts to weather changes and new cosmetics.
Rapid deterioration of skin appearance is not always related to age. Appearance is negatively affected by:
- malnutrition;
- smoking and alcohol;
- lack of fresh air;
- insufficient sleep;
- very aggressive cleaning.
- inappropriate cosmetics;
- hormonal disorders.
Before you start anti-aging procedures at home, you need to eliminate the negative factors as much as possible. It is important to increase the amount of fluids you drink and monitor your diet. The menu includes as many fresh vegetables and fruits as possible, fermented dairy products, natural fiber. It is recommended to quit smoking completely and significantly reduce the amount of alcohol, get enough sleep and walk more.
Rejuvenation at home: necessary procedures
An experienced cosmetologist can develop an individual anti-aging program and choose the right cosmetics. Your daily ritual should include:
- Gentle cleansing with very gentle formulations enriched with natural oils, marine collagen, silk proteins and vitamins. It is best to replace tap water with boiled, filtered or spring water.
- Multistage humidification. The only general purpose cream will not be able to maintain the hydrolipid balance at the optimal level. It is recommended to first moisturize the face with a lotion enriched with herbal extracts and hyaluronic acid and then apply a liquid emulsion and a nourishing cream. High quality cosmetics are quickly absorbed without causing discomfort. The multi-stage application allows you to retain moisture on the skin, prevents peeling and dryness.
- Balanced nutrition. It is recommended to apply serum on the face first and only then to lubricate the skin with cream. Deep recovery products are used in courses of 20-30 days. For example, after completing a course on retinol, you can take a short break and start using products with hyaluronic acid or vitamin C.
An excellent anti-aging agent - masks with collagen, retinol and hyaluronic acid.
From time to time, the skin needs more active treatments. Deep cleansing is necessary to improve the skin. Instead of aggressive scrubs, thin gums are used. The creamy products are applied on the face, wait a few minutes and roll the mass with your fingers. At the same time, keratinized scales, sebaceous plugs, cosmetic residues and other impurities are removed from the surface of the skin. After such a procedure, the face brightens, fine wrinkles are smoothed, a blush appears. You can repeat the cleaning 1-2 times a week.
For removing make-up, no aggressive gels are used, but saturated hydrophilic oils that deeply cleanse the skin and do not dry it too much.
Mature skin is well affected by superficial peeling. At home, you can use preparations with the addition of fruit acids. They gently exfoliate dead cells, rejuvenating the face and improving the penetration of nutrients. For very dry and thin skin, the mildest glycolic peels are suitable. It is recommended to use preparations from professional series, they are more effective. The exact course depends on the individual's condition. Acid peels should not be used in spring and summer, active sunlight contributes to the appearance of age spots.
A properly selected lifting cream will tighten the oval of the face and prevent age-related fall.
