We dream of staying young and beautiful 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 submit 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?
Know 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?To develop our own rejuvenation strategy, it is very important for us to know this.
Imagine we start aging at 18!Our skin cannot stay young forever and not age.This process is inevitable.And we must accept it.
First of all, excess skin is formed in the eye area, small, barely noticeable facial wrinkles at the corners of the eyes;the outer corners of the eyebrows and the nasolabial folds are lowered.This happens before the age of 30.
When you are over 40, the first signs of facial skin aging become more pronounced and new ones appear: the eyelids become heavy, the skin on the chin becomes flabby, sagging on the cheeks and large wrinkles appear between the eyebrows.
At 50, our cheeks almost blend into our chin due to their sagging.And oh, horror, the face loses its clear contours!Sometimes the tip of the nose becomes longer.
Around the age of 60, obvious changes are observed, the skin becomes thinner and drier, leading 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 sleep, he appears rested and fresh, but in the evening 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 sensitive and thin skin.Small wrinkles cover the entire surface of a mesh.Causes: frequent and prolonged exposure to the sun, dry skin.
- Gravitatis type affects obese women with pronounced facial features.Due to excess subcutaneous fat, there are practically no wrinkles, but over time, thick, sagging folds are formed.Reasons: overweight, concomitant diseases, oily skin.
- The combined appearance refers to premature aging of the face.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 visible signs of aging are on the face, where the skin has a small layer of subcutaneous tissue: this is muscular aging.First, wrinkles form near the eyes (crow's feet), then fatty folds above the upper eyelids and pronounced nasolabial folds begin to fall off.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.
