Over the years, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity, and wrinkles and folds appear. The fair sex is trying to do everything to delay the manifestation of visible signs of aging. It's a pity that sometimes the regular use of expensive cosmetics does not bring the expected long-term effect. Why is this happening?
What causes rapid skin aging?
Many factors affect the condition of the skin. Specifically:
- an unbalanced diet, including fried, salty, smoked, and sweet foods;
- dry indoor air during the hot season;
- negative environmental factors: wind, dust, frost, exhaust gases, sun rays, etc;
- inadequate or completely absent skin care;
- lack of vitamins and minerals;
- stress and nervous disorders;
- are taking certain medications.
Let's try to figure out what needs to be changed in life, what habits to get rid of, and what habits to adopt to maintain the smoothness and beauty of your skin for as long as possible.
Healthy lifestyle
No matter how cliché it may sound, you need to give up bad habits first. Smoking and alcohol certainly do not promote health, and any problem with the body immediately affects the condition of the skin. He becomes dehydrated and looks dull and mushy.
Be sure to pay attention to how much purified water you drink. Coffee, tea, sugary drinks, and even freshly squeezed juices won't replace regular water. You need to drink at least 1. 5 liters per day. The amount depends on the body weight.
Try not to overeat: get up from the table while still feeling a little hungry. This is especially true with a dinner.
Get enough sleep. During sleep, the skin renews itself, so the more we sleep, the more beautiful we become. Before falling asleep, try to think only of good things, dreams and in any case, try to delve into unresolved problems. Peace and quiet should be your faithful companion before going to bed. Remember that chronic lack of sleep will very soon manifest itself in a decrease in the tone of the skin of the face and the whole body.
Walk in the fresh air as often as possible. At any given opportunity, get out of town, into nature - it will certainly benefit. You'll come home with healthy, glowing rosy eyes.
Facial massage and fitness
Facial massage and exercise work wonders. With regular use of these methods, the skin is changed in a few weeks. The fact is that during healing sessions, blood circulation and metabolism are accelerated. Skin cells receive more nutrients.
Light massage can be done at home. Pepper at the beginning of the procedure, clean your face and wash your hands with soap. With fingertips gently touching, follow the correct massage lines, gently press on the skin. Your movements will be like typing. The massage will be more effective if you apply the serum or steam your face with green tea ice cubes before.
After about a week, the skin will be transformed, becoming more elastic and even-toned. In addition, massage also helps to deal with swelling.
Skin care cream, serum, body lotion
We can safely say that cosmetics are one of the most popular ways to transform the skin of the face. It's easy to explain this: I bought the coveted vase and used it for your health. But such funds do not always give the expected effect. Women buy more and more products, including them for skin care, but the problems persist. In this case, you should contact an esthetician, who will help you choose a care system. But only some of the fair sex decide to do this.
If you have the time and desire to create anti-aging products with your own hands, then it is better to start with simple recipes. We offer one of them. Measure out every spoonful of the dessert of cocoa butter and sea buckthorn butter. Stir well and add 3-4 drops of vitamin A and E oil solution. Apply cream immediately after cleansing to damp skin. For maximum effect, cover your face with cellophane or parchment paper. After about 15-20 minutes, the remnants of the product must be removed with a napkin.
You can replace this cream with industrial creams. And keep an eye on your skin's reaction, as even all-natural products aren't right for everyone. They also have allergic reactions.
