We dream of staying young and beautiful for as long as possible.This natural aging process does not suit us.Those who are especially sensitive to their image in the mirror seek salvation in beauty salons or even surrender to the power of plastic surgeons.The purpose of this publication is to talk about facial skin rejuvenation with your own hands, at home.What can we do for ourselves first?
Know the enemy by sight
Why do we age and change our appearance?Why do some people look so much younger than others without the help of plastic surgeons?To develop our own rejuvenation strategy, it is very important that we know this.
Imagine that we started aging at 18!Our skin cannot stay young forever and not age.This process is inevitable.And we need to accept that.
Firstly, excess skin forms in the eye area, small, almost imperceptible facial wrinkles in the corners of the eyes;the outer corners of the eyebrows and nasolabial folds are lowered.This happens before the age of 30.
From the age of 40, the main signs of facial skin aging become stronger and new ones appear: the eyelids become heavier, the skin on the chin becomes saggy, sagging cheeks and large wrinkles appear between the eyebrows.
At age 50, our cheeks almost merge with the chin due to sagging.And oh, how horrible, the face loses its clear contours!Sometimes the tip of the nose increases.
At the age of 60, evident changes are observed, the skin becomes thinner and drier, resulting in the formation of deep wrinkles.
There are several types of facial aging in women:
- A tired face is manifested by a decrease in skin elasticity.In the morning, after a good sleep, he appears rested and fresh, but at night he takes on a clearly senile expression.This aging is typical of oily or combination skin.The cause may be frequent stress, smoking, fatigue, lack of sleep.
- A wrinkled face is characteristic of thin, sensitive skin.Small wrinkles cover the entire surface with a mesh.Causes: frequent and prolonged exposure to the sun, dry skin.
- The Gravitatis type affects obese women with heavy facial features.Due to the excess of subcutaneous fat, there are practically no wrinkles, but over time thick, sagging folds form.Reasons: excess weight, concomitant diseases, oily skin.
- The combined appearance refers to premature facial aging.In this case, several signs of various types appear.There are wrinkles, decreased skin elasticity and sagging cheeks.They are caused by a large number of free radicals in the body and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays.
- The least noticeable signs of aging are on the face with skin that has a small layer of subcutaneous tissue - this is muscular aging.First, wrinkles form near the eyes (crow's feet), then fat folds above the upper eyelids and pronounced nasolabial folds begin to fall.There is only one reason: age.
Despite the different morphotypes of aging, its causes are common to all.There is premature and natural aging of the integument.The second occurs gradually, according to a program of biological transformation of cells.
The main causes of premature aging:
- circulatory disorders;
- hormonal imbalance;
- slow cell recovery;
- dehydration;
- exposure to ultraviolet rays;
- stress;
- lack of vitamins and microelements;
- heredity;
- alcohol abuse;
- smoking;
- unfavorable environment;
- lack of facial care.
