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 first of all ourselves?
Know the enemy by sight
Why do we age and change in appearance?Why do some people look much younger than others without the help of plastic surgeons?To develop our own rejuvenation strategy, it is very important for us to know this.
Imagine that we start aging at the age of 18!Our skin cannot remain forever young and not age.This process is inevitable.And we need to accept this.
First of all, excess skin is formed 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 age 30.
When you are over 40 years old, the primary signs of facial skin aging become stronger and new ones are added: the eyelids become heavier, the skin on the chin becomes flabby, sagging on the cheeks, and large wrinkles appear between the eyebrows.
By the age of 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, obvious 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, 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 may be frequent stress, smoking, fatigue, lack of sleep.
- A wrinkled face is characteristic of sensitive, thin skin.Small wrinkles cover the entire surface with a mesh.Causes: frequent and long exposure to the sun, dry skin.
- Gravitatis type affects obese women with heavy facial features.Due to the excess subcutaneous fat, there are practically no wrinkles, but over time, thick, saggy folds form.Reasons: excess weight, concomitant diseases, oily skin.
- The combined appearance refers to early facial aging.In this case, various signs of several 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, their 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.
