Ways to rejuvenate the face at home

Every woman always wants to stay young and beautiful.But over time, youth fades, the first signs of aging appear, followed by deeper wrinkles.The beauty industry offers a huge number of care products, cosmetic procedures and vitamins to nourish the skin.But when looking for 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 this is much easier to do than to smooth out wrinkles that have already appeared.Wrinkles and their early appearance are not only a cosmetic defect, but also a sign of problems in the body.A comprehensive approach to their prevention and elimination is important, since the causes of aging do not always lie in the characteristics of the skin.The following factors can provoke the appearance of wrinkles and premature aging of the skin:

• excess weight and sudden weight loss: under the pressure of excess fat, the skin sags, facial muscles weaken, and in case of sudden weight loss, the oval of the face does not have time to tighten in accordance with the new shape;
• bad habits: alcohol and smoking lead to drying of the skin and inhibit metabolic processes, while the elasticity of the skin weakens and the complexion deteriorates;
• unhealthy lifestyle: unbalanced diet, stress, lack of physical activity and adequate rest take a toll on the body, which does not affect the condition of the skin;
• use of low-quality cosmetics: cosmetics may contain synthetic low-quality or critical components that are not good for the face;
• unfavorable ecology: the skin absorbs harmful substances in the air, is exposed to an aggressive environment (frost and sunlight), and dries out as a result;
• health problems: wrinkles can only be symptoms of a more serious disease and hormonal disorders;
• genetic predisposition: to find out what awaits your face in the future, take a closer look at the faces of your older relatives;
• facial structure: improper bite, weak chin can cause wrinkles.

Characteristics of lifting care

A series of anti-aging procedures cannot be common to all representatives of the fair sex.Cosmetic care depends on the specific age, skin type and type of wrinkles to be treated.

There are two main types of wrinkles:

• mimic (or dynamic) - appear in our life for the first time;every person has his own way of expressing emotions on his face, and facial wrinkles appear in the areas of active contraction of the facial muscles;
• static (age-dependent, gravitational) - one encounters them already in adulthood;Such wrinkles appear regardless of facial features: the skin ages, collagen production decreases, elasticity is lost, and the oval sags.Gravity causes the loose skin to bend downward and arcptosis occurs.

The first wrinkles caused by active facial expression or insufficient care can appear as early as 25 years old.

Ways to fight wrinkles depending on age

People 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 out in the future.However, oily and normal skin also requires proper care, combined with thorough cleaning.

During our life, our face goes through many changes, as a result of which wrinkles of different depths appear on it:

1. First of all, we have to face superficial wrinkles - a thin mesh that affects the upper layer of the skin.They appear at the age of 25-30, so prevention should be started as early as possible.In such cases, it is important to properly nourish the skin, avoid stress, bad habits, and maintain sleep and wakefulness.The network of surface wrinkles can be removed with peeling, relaxing face massage and moisturizing cosmetics.
2. Later, at the age of 40-55, surface wrinkles can turn into moderately deep wrinkles, which develop due to damage to 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 moisturizing creams and lifting products.
3. In addition to the layers of the epidermis, the fat tissue under the skin is also 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 sags.These defects typically appear at the age of 55-65.Products designed to supply dehydrated skin with nutrients and collagen do not penetrate the deep layers of the dermis and are therefore not very effective.Therefore, it is worth adding massage, facial exercises and special rejuvenating tools to any already applied procedure.

Each age group has its own most effective care.But when you cross a certain age, you should not abandon all previous cosmetic procedures - add new ones, and such an integrated approach will lead to better results.

General recommendations for preserving youth

Over time, the skin fades, so our task is to delay the appearance of this unpleasant phenomenon.Recommendations for prolonging youth are similar to general advice for maintaining health:

• eat in moderation and balance;
• to play sports;
• drink enough water (at least 1.5 liters per day);
• get enough sleep (sleep should last at least 6 hours);
• Eliminate cigarettes and alcohol from your life.

Cleansing, nourishing and firming products and procedures are also necessary to maintain glowing skin and a toned face.

To protect your face from the appearance of a double chin, choose a comfortable orthopedic pillow for sleeping, do not read lying down and watch your posture.A low-down head causes skin folds, which later become a cosmetic defect.

Anti-aging care at home

Home cosmetic procedures can include both the use of ready-made (store) products and a purely natural approach with hand-made creams and masks.You should not choose just one and categorically reject the other, as both directions are good in the fight for young people.

So here are some people to help you rejuvenate at home:

• store-bought and handmade cosmetics: moisturizing, nourishing, lifting creams, scrubs, masks, tonics, selected according to your age and skin type;all this keeps your face fresh and supple.Skin care cosmetics help to fight the first wrinkles at the age of 25-30 and slow down the appearance of signs of aging at and after the age of 40;
• facial exercise and massage: improving blood circulation and strengthening facial muscles is an excellent prevention and anti-wrinkle method.At the age of 35, metabolic processes slow down, and creaming the upper layer of the skin is no longer sufficient.Gymnastics accelerates blood circulation, cells are saturated with oxygen, wrinkles are smoothed from the inside;
• hardware cosmetology: development does not stop, so you too can perform a professional cosmetology procedure with special tools.Over the years, even with careful care, the quality of the skin deteriorates, medium and deep wrinkles appear, the face sags.The problem of aging after the age of 45 is solved either by salon injection procedures and plastic surgery, or by home cosmetic devices;
• exotic rejuvenation method: Achatina snails.The mucus of these molluscs contains a large amount of substances that restore and nourish the skin.With this procedure, superficial wrinkles disappear, deeper ones are smoothed out.Snail therapy will be useful even at the age of 30 and 50.

Rejuvenation with Achatina snails at the age of 25-50

There is a rather exotic method of facial rejuvenation for the bravest and most delicate - with snail slime.During the procedure, Achatina snails are placed on the face, which slowly peel and massage the skin and leave traces of mucus behind.The secretion secreted by molluscs has the main rejuvenating function.

The slime of Achatina snails contains:

• allantoin, which regenerates the skin and fights radicals;
• a natural sun filter that protects against harmful UV radiation;
• Vitamins A, C, E, soften, hydrate and nourish the skin;
• glycolic acid, which removes dead cells;
• natural elastin that improves skin turgor;
• natural collagen, stimulates the synthesis of your own collagen and increases skin elasticity.

In salons, the Achatina rejuvenation procedure is quite expensive.But snails can be bought and grown at home.They need an aquarium of at least 10 liters with soil at the bottom, which should be changed regularly.Baby molluscs are fed 1-2 times a day, adults a few times a week.Snails feed on cucumbers, zucchini, cabbage leaves and apples.

Before the massage, the skin should be cleaned, then it should be placed in a horizontal position and the mollusc should be carefully placed on the face.A massage session lasts from 30 minutes to 1 hour.At the end of the procedure, the snail is returned to the aquarium and the mucus is left on the face for another 15 minutes, then washed off with water.After that, apply a moisturizer.Contraindication to the procedure is individual intolerance (allergy) to snail mucus.

Snails easily cope with small wrinkles, smooth medium and deep wrinkles and prevent the appearance of new cosmetic defects, so the procedure is useful for both young and more mature women.

Do not confuse snail massage with hirudotherapy, which is also used in antiaging cosmetology.Do not work alone with leeches under any circumstances.This procedure should only be performed by a qualified professional.

Massage and gymnastics against wrinkles for ages 35-55

Unfortunately, wrinkles not only affect the surface of the skin, but also deform the deeper layers of the dermis.Therefore, the effective fight against average wrinkles at the age of 35-50 affects the skin folds from the inside, since the nutrients of masks and creams practically do not penetrate the skin.

Massage and facial exercises improve blood circulation and increase metabolic processes in the epidermis.Thanks to this, the skin cells are saturated with oxygen, the facial muscles become toned, and the sagging of the oval disappears.

General recommendations for exercise or facial massage:

• first thoroughly study the correct massage technique and facial massage lines to avoid unpleasant consequences;
• the procedure should be carried out with oil or cream (but not on dry skin);
• the classic massage begins with gentle stroking of the skin in the direction of the massage lines;
• after "warming up" the face, you should switch to gentle pressure on the skin;You need to finish the procedure by tapping on your face with your fingertip.

It is better to consult a beautician before the facial exercise, as inappropriate actions can provoke the appearance of new facial wrinkles.
