We dream of staying young and beautiful for as long as possible.This natural aging process does not suit us.Those who are particularly 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 ourselves first?
Recognize the enemy by sight
Why do we age and change our appearance?Why do some people look much younger than others without the help of plastic surgeons?In order to develop our own rejuvenation strategy, it is very important for us to know this.
Imagine if we start aging at 18!Our skin cannot stay young and age forever.This process is inevitable.And we have to accept that.
First, excess skin forms in the eye area, small, barely noticeable 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.
Over the age of 40, the primary signs of facial skin aging increase and new ones appear: the eyelids become heavier, the skin on the chin becomes slack, the cheeks sag and large wrinkles form between the eyebrows.
At age 50, our cheeks almost merge with our chin due to sagging.And oh horror, the face loses its clear contours!Sometimes the tip of the nose lengthens.
At the age of 60, significant changes can be observed, the skin becomes thinner and drier, and deep wrinkles form.
There are different types of facial aging in women:
- A tired face is reflected in a loss of skin elasticity.In the morning, after a restful sleep, it looks rested and fresh, but in the evening it takes on a clearly senile expression.This aging is typical for oily or combination skin.The cause can be frequent stress, smoking, fatigue and lack of sleep.
- A wrinkled face is characteristic of sensitive, thin skin.Small folds cover the entire surface with a mesh.Causes: frequent and long exposure to the sun, dry skin.
- Gravitatis type affects overweight women with pronounced facial features.The excess subcutaneous fat causes virtually no wrinkles, but over time thick, sagging wrinkles form.Reasons: obesity, concomitant illnesses, oily skin.
- The combined appearance indicates early facial aging.In this case, various signs of different nature appear.Wrinkles, reduced skin elasticity and sagging cheeks occur.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 occur on the face when the skin has a small layer of subcutaneous tissue - this is muscle aging.First, wrinkles form near the eyes (crow's feet), then fat folds over the upper eyelids and pronounced nasolabial folds begin to fall.There is only one reason – age.
Despite the different morphotypes of aging, their causes are common to all.The skin ages prematurely and naturally.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;
- Smoke;
- unfavorable environment;
- Lack of facial care.
