We dream of staying young and beautiful 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 post is to talk about facial skin rejuvenation with your own hands, at home.What can we do above all ourselves?
Know the enemy by the eyes
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 to know this.
Imagine starting to age at 18!Our skin cannot stay young and ageless forever.This process is inevitable.And we have to accept that.
First of all, excess skin is formed in the eye area, small, barely noticeable mimic 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.
When you are over the age of 40, the primary signs of facial skin aging intensify and new ones are added: the eyelids become heavier, the skin on the chin becomes loose, on the cheeks slack, 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 is elongated.
At the age of 60, obvious changes are observed, the skin becomes thinner and drier, which leads to 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 night's sleep, he looks rested and fresh, but in the evening he takes on a distinctly senile expression.This aging is typical for oily or combination skin.The reason can 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 prolonged sun exposure, dry skin.
- The Gravitatis type affects plump women with heavy facial features.Due to excess subcutaneous fat, there are practically no wrinkles, but over time, dense, sagging folds form.Causes: overweight, concomitant diseases, oily skin.
- The combined appearance refers to early facial aging.In this case, various signs of several types appear.There are wrinkles, reduced 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 muscle aging.First, wrinkles form near the eyes (crow's feet), then the 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 shell.The second happens gradually, according to a program for 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 trace elements;
- heredity;
- alcohol abuse;
- smoking;
- adverse environment;
- lack of personal care.
How to save?
Sooner or later we ask questions: "How to stop aging? How to stop aging of the face? How to rejuvenate our face? Individual approach is very important.
