Nasolabial folds can become your problem as early as twenty-five, so the sooner you start fighting, the better.
What to do: The most effective methods today - bioreinforcement and biorevitalization, and for very deep folds - fillers with hyaluronic acid.
2. Dark circles under the eyes

The main reason for the well-known bruises under the eyes, and everything else crow's feet- thin skin in this area of the face with a minimal layer of fat. Often we simply ignore problems in this area, pushing them into the background, despite the fact that a mature, middle-aged look immediately adds extra years.

What to do: On early stage folk remedies that stimulate blood circulation will come to the rescue - compresses from green tea or herbal decoction, ice cubes, as well as various preparations with caffeine, blueberry, plantain, and arnica extracts.
If the process has already started, products with AHA acids, retinol, peptides or hyaluronic acid will become your friends. And try procedures such as peelings, mesotherapy, Thermage and Fraxel from a cosmetologist.
3. Skin color

The young lady’s skin literally glows from within and has an even tone. However, over time, the process of skin cell renewal slows down, making the complexion duller and pigmentation much more noticeable.
What to do: On initial stages Whitening face creams help fight pigmentation, and good sleep helps fight dullness. Next - photorejuvenation and Fraxel. And don’t forget to regularly use cream with SPF, take care of your health, and get enough sleep, of course.
4. Oval face
The problem of “floating” outlines is largely the result of heredity. Sometimes at 30, sometimes at 35, or even later, but there comes a period when the skin in the chin area begins to sag. Further, violations of the oval of the face only continue to intensify, and by the age of 45 the chances of violations are already 80%.
What to do: Facial gymnastics would be an ideal prevention. Well, if the situation requires serious intervention, chin reinforcement and thread strengthening will come to your aid. And by the way, changes in the oval of the face can be caused not only by the aging process, but also, for example, by the presence of hormonal disorders, so consulting a gynecologist will not hurt.
5. Hands

No matter how perfectly smooth our face is, our main business card always betrays us insidiously. Pigment spots, wrinkles, protruding veins - these are the main companions of age. In addition, the nails become thinner and more fragile, and yellow pigments appear on them, which, firstly, is not very aesthetically pleasing, and secondly, it also hints at the real numbers in the passport.
What to do: About 80% of characteristic age-related changes on the hands are caused by exposure to ultraviolet solar radiation. Use special ones regularly sunscreens and be sure to wear gloves when doing any housework or gardening. And, of course, a laconic manicure in neutral, noble shades will visually give your hands freshness.
6. Neck

One of the most mobile parts of the body is also one of the most susceptible to age-related changes. However, as in the situation with circles under the eyes, they remember about this problem only at the moment when it already makes itself felt quite clearly.
What to do: Posture plays a big role in the neck issue. Slouching only adds a fold or two, so we always pay attention to the shoulders and head position. In the fight against folds and wrinkles in this area, cosmetology also offers plasma lifting, ultrasonic lifting and fillers.
7. Excess weight

Unnecessary kilograms not only provoke the appearance age signs both outside and inside, they also visually make us older. Add to this poor posture and we get an extra ten years to age.
What to do: You need to fight excess weight smoothly and gradually. If unnecessary volumes are a genetic problem, it is best to resort to individual consultation nutritionist. If this is the result of nightly “gorges” and stormy weekends, we take as a basis the principles proper nutrition- and run to the gym. If desired, you can reinforce the result with procedures: lipolysis, cavitation and ozone therapy.

Signs of facial aging different women appear in at different ages. But if a woman systematically takes care of herself, leads healthy image life, uses it correctly cosmetical tools, she will always be able to look brilliant, no matter how old she is.
You should not wait with fear and react in panic to the appearance of the first wrinkles. Wrinkles are not always the first symptoms of old age. Let's find out what the first signs of facial skin aging are and learn how to minimize their manifestation.
Gerontology is a science that studies all aspects of aging, its causes and methods of combating it. Since people have always dreamed of eternal youth, the question of how to stay young longer always remains relevant. Currently, youth and health have been elevated to the level of science and there have been some successes in this field. But still, eternal youth is an unattainable dream. Here we need to be critical and understand that no one can live 300 years, no matter how hard people try. But long youth without old age is a completely realizable dream.
Despite this, there is a category of people who believe in magical methods of rejuvenation and miracle drugs. They forget that youth and beauty are the work of a lifetime. Doctors and gerontologists say that it is necessary to fight aging from youth. If a woman has never taken care of herself, and at the age of 40 she complains about wrinkles and sagging skin, then only plastic surgery can help such a woman, and even then not for long. You need to start preventing aging from the age of 25, without brushing aside aging, thinking that it will not happen to you any time soon.
Photos and chronoaging
There are two types of aging. Moreover, each type is characterized by its own characteristics. So, scientists share:
- Photoaging.
- Chronoaging
Photoaging
Photoaging has nothing to do with age. That is, it occurs as a result of excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation on the skin. However, photoaging, if left untreated, can very quickly lead to chronoaging.
Symptoms of photoaging include:
- hyperkeratosis (the stratum corneum of the epidermis thickens);
- the appearance of excessive pigmentation;
- dehydration and dry skin;
- sagging and loss of elasticity;
- development of spider veins.
As a rule, photoaging can affect even very young people who overuse solariums and sunbathing.
However, unlike chronoaging, photoaging is reversible. That is, this is a type of aging that can be reversed. Although it is impossible to return the original condition of the skin, it is possible to correct changes and minimize the effects of ultraviolet exposure. To do this, the aesthetic clinic will choose a treatment regimen for you using various cosmetic procedures.
Chronoaging
It is true aging, which is caused by a hereditary process programmed at the gene level. Chronoaging begins at age 25 and cannot be stopped or reversed. This is exactly the type of aging that cosmetologists and gerontologists fight. Certain cosmetic methods can slow down or smooth out this process.
The main signs of chronoaging:
- the rate of cell division slows down, which leads to dull color faces;
- malfunction of melanocytes leads to persistent senile pigmentation and graying of hair;
- the activity of the sebaceous glands and sebum production decreases, which dehydrates skin covering and makes it drier;
- the synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid as a result of the passivity of fibroblasts, this leads to sagging and atony of the skin;
- metabolic processes in cells deteriorate, and the skin is not able to regenerate on its own;
- blood microcirculation deteriorates as a result of which cells suffer from a lack of oxygen and nutrition;
- on the hands, neck and décolleté the skin becomes thin, pigmented and flabby;
- There are changes in the figure of women according to male type: Fat accumulates more on the belly.
Factors influencing early skin aging
They are internal and external. TO external factors applies:
- poor environmental conditions in the living region;
- overexposure ultraviolet rays, which cause photoaging;
- climacteric effects in the place of residence ( excessive dryness or humidity);
- excess body weight and poor nutrition;
- heredity (predisposition to early aging);
- regular psycho-emotional stress and systematic stress;
- abuse bad habits(smoking, alcohol and uncontrolled use of medications);
- work in hazardous production;
- social status and education, scientists have found that high level intelligence allows a person to live longer and stay young longer.
Early aging can begin as early as 25 years of age due to the above-mentioned unfavorable factors.
External aging is inextricably linked with internal changes in the body. There is so-called pathological aging, when changes occur internal organs, characterized by a faster onset of symptoms of aging compared to people of the same age. In this case, aging occurs at two levels: age-related changes in the body and the first signs of skin aging.
Thus, skin aging is caused by many everyday unfavorable factors, as well as a combination of external and internal reasons.
The first symptoms of skin aging
So, the first signs of skin aging are:
- dryness and flaking of the skin;
- pronounced nasolabial folds;
- thinning of the skin and reduction of its subcutaneous fat layer;
- hyperkeratosis;
- appearance age spots and deterioration of complexion;
- gravitational ptosis of facial tissues;
- deterioration of skin turgor;
- the triangle of youth turns upside down;
- the corners of the eyes and lips droop;
- early appearance of folds, creases and wrinkles;
- the appearance of rosacea and telangiectasia (spider veins);
- aging neck and hands;
- dark circles and bags under the eyes;
- partial alopecia (hair loss) and graying.
It should be noted that aging is an individual process, which is primarily determined by heredity. Therefore, the above symptoms may appear in different people at different ages. However, no matter how good heredity is, without proper care It is impossible to achieve long youth with facial skin.
Main signs of aging
And yet, what is the first sign of fading facial skin? What catches our eye, and we understand that the woman in front of us is not in better time? Below we will look at the most pronounced manifestations of old age.
Nasolabial folds
They can appear as early as 25 years old, so you need to start preventing nasolabial folds as early as possible. Currently, they can be eliminated using hyaluronic acid fillers.
Bags and circles under the eyes
Since the skin around the eyes is very thin and loses elasticity over time, bags appear under the eyes, which greatly damage the appearance. At the initial stage, dark circles under the eyes can be masked using cosmetics. And you can eliminate their manifestation with the help of cryomassage with ice cubes. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to get rid of bags under the eyes using a conservative method. In this case, blepharoplasty is necessary to reliably correct this defect.
Complexion
In old age, the process of cell division deteriorates, which leads to uneven and dull color. Improve complexion by early stage Maybe masks with vitamin C, and later peelings with AHA acids.
Face contour
The reason for the floating oval face is gravity and heredity. Since we are constantly drawn to the ground, in old age the skin that has lost its elasticity slides down, forming jowls.
Gymnastics for the face and masks for the oval of the face will help eliminate the defect at an early stage. Over time, reinforcement procedures and thread lifting can be performed.
The neck is primarily capable of revealing a woman’s age. Even if there are no signs of age-related withering on the face, the neck eloquently demonstrates the true female age. Alas, this defect can only be eliminated with the help of plastic surgery.
Hands
Very often, hands are the first signal of age-related decline. Therefore, hand skin care is as important as facial skin care.
Overweight
Excess weight not only provokes the development of various ailments, but also adds several years to your life. Besides, excess weight deforms the body, spoils posture and makes the gait heavy, which visually turns a woman into an elderly person.
Does anti-aging make sense?
Many women believe that the fight against aging makes no sense, because this process is irreversible. To be honest, we lost this fight a long time ago, at the moment of our conception. But does this mean that we should give up and go with the flow? Of course not. Aging is not only a change in appearance, but also an involution of personality. Therefore, when we talk about aging gracefully, it is not about eliminating all wrinkles on the face, but about maintaining interest and love for life. Aging gracefully is the art of remaining young in both body and soul.
Culture
Let's not deceive ourselves. We all struggle with aging, but in middle age it can be especially stressful. Those sexy clothes that you wore in the past will now look at least ridiculous, and smokey eye makeup, which looks chic on 19-year-old girls, is unlikely to add zest to your appearance; most likely, others will think that you have gone crazy.
Part of the problem is that aging requires change, but most women don't want to realize that they have come to an unattractive town called " Average age", in which prerequisite existence are adequate shoes and boring clothes.
Below are 11 of the most common mistakes middle-aged women make, and how to avoid them.
1. Not understanding that it is time for change
The biggest mistake women make is not doing anything at all. The hair, makeup and clothes that made you look fantastic in your younger years often work against you as you age. If you want to age gracefully, then you need to make some adjustments.
“Many women continue to do the same thing that they have been doing for several decades before, in the vast majority of cases it does not work, and a woman over 50, at the same time, can also receive a lot of unflattering comments about herself,” says Barbara Gruferman (Barbara Grufferman), author of numerous books on this topic. "They often don't even realize they're making mistakes, so the challenge is to catch those mistakes before they can happen."
2. Saving on clothes
Remember the good old days when you could easily walk along the beach in a bikini and catch admiring glances? Well, those days are gone. As you age, you need to invest a little more in clothes than you previously did.
Difficult to find suitable clothing at any age, and in adulthood this is even more difficult to do. You will have to fork out for a very high quality swimsuit, as well as a special business clothes, which will present you in all your glory.
3. Comparing yourself to your 20-year-old self
Have your children or grandchildren ever asked you, “Who is that beauty in the album?” You are not alone. Few people look as attractive in their mature years as they did in their youth. Sometimes you need to take a walk down memory lane and remember yourself in your youth, but under no circumstances should you become depressed.
Your goal now is to look as good as possible while maintaining your health, and understand that having the same face and body that you had several decades ago is unnatural.
4. Ignoring exercise
Tempted to stop exercising as you age? Or use this as an excuse not to start? There should be no excuses here.
You should exercise under any circumstances, despite knee pain, laziness, lack of time and all other excuses. Exercising can really help you relieve pain and also protect you from health problems in the coming years, namely from a creeping scale, diabetes, heart disease and dementia.
If you are able to jog, this is very good, if not, then take a closer look at the gym, swimming pool or yoga.
5. Lack of sleep
Gone are the days when you could stay up all night and leave the house in the morning with a light gait and a radiant face. The point is that even after the night good night you may hear someone say that you look tired. Although you may have responsibilities to care for a child or elderly parents, it is still worth reconsidering your sleep schedule.
Reducing the amount of sleep will primarily affect your face. Moreover, it is associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus and other health problems that appear one after another as we age.
6. Ignoring teeth
You can focus on wrinkles or fine hair, but don't forget to smile at yourself in the mirror. One of the things that can give away your age is yellowed teeth, but this is actually much more dangerous than just being unsightly. Dental health is very closely linked to overall health, and gum disease, which is common as we age, is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular problems. Therefore, you should not ignore visits to the dentist.
7. Don't overdo it in pursuit of youth
This is a common mistake that both celebrities and ordinary women make. Nobody likes crow's feet and expression lines, but Botox-frozen faces and silicone-filled lips look much worse.
The right skin care products containing retinol can help reduce wrinkles. If you are unhappy with the result, then consider other options, but you should not strive to look like a teenager again, because the absence of wrinkles in mature age looks unnatural and unnatural.
8. Thoughts that a middle-aged woman’s hair has its own “rules”
Think you should cut your hair after turning 50? In fact, there are no rules limiting the length of hair for middle-aged women. It all depends on the weight, shape, lifestyle and condition of her hair.
The fact is that with age, hair becomes thinner, it turns gray and coarser. Choose a calm color and cut, keeping in mind that you probably won't look good on the same hairstyles you wore decades ago.
9. Incorrect use of makeup
The colors and brands you've been using for years may no longer be the best thing you can offer your skin. Resist the temptation to apply thick layers of powder and concealer to hide wrinkles and circles under the eyes, because you will achieve the exact opposite effect and make you look even older.
To create a more natural look, use a magnifying mirror when applying makeup, and renew your powder, concealer, and foundation every six months.
10. Incorrectly chosen bra
This is inevitable - gravity affects our body. And if now your breasts are not as toned as they were before, this does not mean that you need to leave everything that way. Many women continue to wear the same size and brand of bras that they have always worn, without considering that our bodies change as we age.
Correct underwear makes you look slimmer, so review your existing stock and invest in something new.
11. Consent to a boring sex life
Our culture actively strives to convey to people that sexuality equals youth, but we shouldn't listen to it. You should be confident and free, feel your sexuality, and explore your sexual needs. Women over 50 often have the best sex of their lives.
“My light, mirror, tell me and tell me the whole truth, am I the sweetest in the world?” - having crossed the age of 25, many women already ask this question with caution: the mirror treacherously reveals every new fold, wrinkle, and indicates peeling that has appeared.
The skin aging process is natural and irreversible.
This is especially noticeable on the face, where the skin is most delicate and vulnerable. She experiences the effects of sunlight, gusts of wind, and frosty tingling. It is very difficult to protect and protect it from the adverse influences of the environment..
Why does skin age and what are the stages of aging?
Over time, facial skin loses elasticity and freshness. The first signs of aging are wrinkles, which become deeper and more noticeable every year.
Main signs of skin aging:
- dry skin;
- change in complexion, appearance of pigment spots;
- decreased skin elasticity, appearance of wrinkles and folds;
- pore expansion;
- weakening of muscles, flabbiness, sagging.
Skin aging is just external reflection of the results of natural processes that occur in the body at the cellular level:
- the genetic program is triggered of the body, aimed at gradually reducing the functionality of all systems;
- the level of produced hormones decreases;
- the body's resistance decreases as a result wrong image life: smoking, alcohol and drug addiction, unbalanced diet;
- the effects of free radicals appear, formed due to environmental influences.
Every age period has its own characteristics, knowing which, you can choose the most effective measures to delay the aging process.
Conventionally, they are divided by decades:
- 25 – 35 years– preventive procedures are required to maintain the natural process of providing the skin with nutrients, daily care to increase firmness and elasticity, preventing the appearance of facial wrinkles.
- 35 – 45 years old– the main task is to activate the body’s internal resources and assist in self-healing, intensive and regular care that activates cellular metabolism and tissue regeneration.
- 45 – 55 years– it becomes important to ensure additional supply of nutrients and oxygen, professional care for the skin, maintaining its elasticity, combating dryness and age spots on the face.
- over 55 years old– Comprehensive skin care is considered the most important to mitigate the effects of aging.
Separately need to be taken into account individual characteristics body, his genetic predisposition.
Age 25 – 35 years
A woman should start thinking about the condition of her skin and pay serious attention to caring for it from the age of 25, when the first adverse changes occur. Until this period, daily cleansing and moisturizing procedures are sufficient. epidermis.
At the age of 25, a person stops growing and the entire circulatory system is rebuilt to supply blood to the internal organs, while capillaries that nourish the skin begin to atrophy.
It is the lack of oxygen and nutrients that are the main reasons for the appearance of signs of aging on facial skin. Added to these processes is a violation water balance, because the only 30% of the fluid in the body is in the skin.
After 30 years, the process of epidermal cell division slows down, which leads to an accumulation of dead cells in the upper layer of skin. Skin renewal is a little slower.
Besides physiological changes The psychological factor has a great influence on the condition of facial skin. This is a period of serious social activity: career, starting a family, energetic recreation, financial problems. Against this background, stressful situations often arise, chronic fatigue, lack of sleep, which is fraught with muscle spasms and impaired microcirculation.
At this age you can notice on your face:
- slight decrease in skin tone;
- the first facial folds appear;
- the first wrinkles are noticeable near the eyes and nasolabial folds;
- a grayish tint to the skin appears;
- lack of moisture and nutrition is slightly evident.
Facial skin care should include:
- daily cleansing, toning and moisturizing;
- using protective cosmetics;
- using cosmetics that help collagen synthesis: products with vitamin C, amino acids, oxygen cosmetics;/li>
- applying collagen nourishing masks;
- anti-stress procedures./li>
From the age of 25, It's time to gradually accustom yourself to periodic visits to beauty salons and regular facial skin care at home.
The cosmetics used must be age appropriate and contain vitamins C, A, E, hyaluronic acid and medicinal plant extracts.
Nessesary to use creams containing vitamins, chestnut extracts, ginko biloba, which improve microcirculation. For this age, creams with a light texture that are easily absorbed are offered.
Special attention pay attention to skin care around the eyes. Apply eye cream and wear sunglasses.
Peeling should be a mandatory procedure– exfoliation of dead skin cells and cleansing. At this age, superficial peeling is carried out with a small depth of penetration into the epidermis layer. For such procedures, scrubs or products based on plant acids are used.
Massages help maintain muscle tone and stimulate collagen production: vibromassage, plucked, hygienic, plastic. Until the age of 30, this is rather a preventive procedure, then you must definitely do lymphatic drainage massage.
After 30 years, the lifting procedure becomes relevant. At this stage, superficial lifting with the help of creams and massages is recommended. Hardware RF lifting is enough to do 2 times a year.
Age 35 – 45 years
At 35 years old in the body aging gene is activated, which launches the destruction program. In women, hormonal changes begin, the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid decreases, and the process of melanin production is disrupted.
appear results of the work of facial muscles and exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Gradually decreasing physical activity, metabolism is disrupted, and fat deposits begin to accumulate.
The skin of women at this age is called mature and shows the main signs of aging:
- the tone and elasticity of the skin and facial muscles decreases;
- permanent wrinkles appear;
- pigment spots begin to form;
- capillary fragility appears;
- folds form on the upper eyelids;
- “bags” form under the eyes;
- the oval of the face begins to sag downwards;
- a double chin is emerging;
- the skin becomes dry, peels, and periodic rashes occur;
- Uneven facial tone becomes noticeable.
Daily skin care is a must, but it is no longer enough. The beauty formula these years consists of three components: anti-aging cosmetics + professional skin care + cosmetic procedures . Particular attention should be paid to procedures that are aimed at strengthening the deep muscles of the face and skin tightening products.
It is necessary to choose cosmetic products more carefully, giving preference to samples that contain natural ingredients and have a softening effect.
Nourishing creams for the “Balzac” age have a thicker texture and should stimulate the production of not only collagen, but also elastin, increase the protective functions of the epidermis, replenish the lack of lipids, and strengthen cell membranes.
In their composition the presence of vitamins C, E, amino acids, retinoic and fruit acids, peptides, yam extract is necessary.
Separately, it is worth paying attention to the presence in the composition of facial skin care products. alpha lipoic acid, which is able to combat the results of glycation. Extracts from grapes and blueberries, and green tea extract are also effective.
In this period need to find good cosmetologist , since many procedures will require professional execution.
To solve problems with dryness and skin color, it is recommended to use:
- Chemical peeling- applying to the face preparations based on various acids that penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis and help exfoliate dead cells.
- Biorevitalization– deep subcutaneous injection of hyaluronic acid concentrate (one molecule of this acid holds up to 500 molecules of water), which helps moisturize the skin.
- Microdermabrasion– procedure mechanical removal dead cells using aluminum dioxide crystals.
- Corneotherapy– the use of lamellar emulsions that activate the skin’s reserves for self-healing.
To combat wrinkles use:
- concentrated serums;
- collagen, placental and hydrol masks;
Lifting procedures will help prevent changes in facial contours:
- Mesotherapy– injection of various meso-cocktails of vitamins and medications into the skin and subcutaneously.
- Manual and vacuum massage – stimulation of the natural restoration of the capillary network by increasing blood circulation and saturating cells with oxygen.
- Myostimulation– forced muscle contraction under the influence of electrical impulses.
- Photorejuvenation– removal of dead cells using light beams.
- Laser resurfacing– non-contact separation of old cells under the influence of a laser beam, which stimulates the increased formation of new cells.
- Ozone therapy– subcutaneous administration using a roller or injection of an oxygen-ozone mixture, which saturates the skin with nutrients and accelerates metabolism.
- Hardware RF – lifting– radiofrequency effect of electric current on the skin, which causes its heating and restoration of the lifting fiber framework.
It is important to remember that at this age, the body’s own resources to maintain the optimal condition of facial skin are no longer enough, therefore, the sooner you start a set of anti-aging procedures, the longer it will be possible to delay the onset of skin aging.
Age 45 – 55 years
This age in women coincides with the onset of menopause, hormonal decline, and cessation of reproductive function. Some appear in the body chronic diseases, immunity and self-healing ability decreases. The nervous and circulatory system is quite “worn out”.
The amount of collagen produced sharply decreases, and the skin acutely feels the lack of oxygen and nutrients. The process of formation of new cells is seriously slowed down, and free radicals accumulate, which have negative impact on the condition of the dermis.
Gradually The stratum corneum thickens and the face takes on a dull hue.. Pigment spots appear on the skin.
This period is distinguished by the choice of cosmetics. The main helpers will be moisturizing and nourishing creams and serums, cosmetic preparations with a lifting effect and anti-aging complexes. Their compositions should contain natural active substances, antioxidants, coenzyme, collagen, elastin, and nano complexes.
Structural changes occurring in the deeper layers of the skin are becoming more and more noticeable:
- increased dryness of the skin to a “parchment” state;
- the elasticity and firmness of the skin is reduced, it sags greatly;
- drooping of the upper eyelid is visible;
- deep wrinkles and folds appear;
- permanent pigment spots form, vascular disorders are noticeable;
- papillomas, moles, etc. appear;
- there are significant changes in the oval of the face;
- Facial hair growth is activated.
The cosmetic procedures used are more intense, but also require maximum care during their implementation, since the skin becomes very sensitive and vulnerable.
- Depigmenting chemical peeling – applying mixtures to the face that exfoliate the stratum corneum and suppress the production of melanin to lighten age spots and even out skin color.
- Photorejuvenation– a non-invasive method of exposing the skin to light flashes that remove spider veins and age spots.
- Non-injection mesotherapy with whitening serums– hardware method of electroporation.
To increase skin elasticity and preserve facial contours, the following procedures are intended:
- Reaffirming massage– done using Spanish massage technique, aimed at removing toxins, strengthening blood vessels, the muscular frame of the face, reducing wrinkles, modeling the oval of the face.
- Bio-reinforcement of the face– is carried out on the basis of gel injections, which “stitch” the skin with gel-like “micro-threads”.
- Ultrasonic facial skin lifting according to an enhanced “age-related” protocol - a hardware procedure using ultrasound waves, gives a rejuvenating effect and tightening.
- Plasmolifting– an injection technique using plasma, which activates the rejuvenation of one’s own skin cells.
At the age of 45–55 years, an integrated approach to facial skin care is important. Every day you need to set aside half an hour of time for the procedures, and work out a schedule for visiting the beauty salon with your cosmetologist.
Age over 55
During this period, estrogen production practically stops, and hormonal changes begin to occur in the skin. The body loses up to 30% of collagen fibers. The shedding of old cells does not occur, and the face becomes yellowish.
The skin is acutely lacking moisture. The epidermis is greatly thinned. The vast majority of women at this age the skin becomes dry, dull, flabby.
Aging skin requires careful constant attention. When applying cosmetics Do not rub or stretch the skin on your face, you need to act very gently.
When choosing cosmetics for facial skin care at this age, you must make sure presence of marking 50+. Moisturizing creams, nourishing masks, facial gymnastics are mandatory daily procedures.
By this time, the woman will have already experienced many cosmetic procedures and will determine the most suitable ones for her skin type, which she will continue to use in the future.
Faced with serious age-related changes in the dermis and oval of the face, some decide on surgical methods of correction manifested shortcomings.
It should be remembered that this is a very traumatic intervention, since the changes affect not only the epidermis, but also the subcutaneous tissues. However, the result is more impressive.
There are several types of facial surgeries:
- rhytidectomy— removal of “excess” skin;
- Smas – lifting– tightening of subcutaneous tissues, ligaments, septa;
- circular lift faces;
- endoscopic lifting- most deep method oval face lifts.
I would like to warn against the idea that surgery will solve all problems and give a lasting effect. It is important to remember that even after such dramatic changes on the face, it takes a lot of effort to ensure the results last as long as possible.
How to delay aging
- When choosing a cosmetic product or a specific procedure, you need to clarify your skin type. The use of products that do not match your skin type can significantly accelerate the formation of wrinkles, dryness, and peeling, which will only hasten the aging period.
- Before you sign up for cosmetic procedure, necessary consult a dermatologist, cosmetologist and therapist.
- Recommended use cosmetics from the same line, which complement each other’s actions and allow for comprehensive facial skin care.
- Advise change creams and cosmetics every 3 – 4 months use to avoid addiction and diversify the set of active substances that nourish the skin.
- Always drink up to 2 liters of liquid in a day.
- Try to avoid exposure to direct sunlight as much as possible, don't get carried away with the solarium.
- Eat properly, take vitamin supplements regularly.
- Lead a healthy lifestyle.
- Be active in physical exercise.
Facial skin care is very important at any age. Each period has its own characteristics, because the skin is constantly changing. Starting from a young age, a woman should gradually learn how to properly care for her skin.
It is the effort and amount of time spent that will determine how you will look in a few years, how early the first wrinkles will begin to appear, and how old your face will become.
This is a long and difficult process, but “beauty requires sacrifice”. And women are ready to make any sacrifice, if only at sixty and seventy and... to hear a compliment: “How beautiful you look, dear!”
I look at men and frankly envy them. Why is it that most of them can eat and not gain weight, but even if they gain weight, their rounded bellies cause only tenderness? Why don’t they have cellulite (at least I haven’t seen it on any man)? And most importantly: why, as they age, they only become more beautiful - wrinkles, like their allies, emphasize the attractiveness and masculinity of their features.
For some reason, nature is not so favorable to us women - aging takes away our beauty, treacherously declaring itself in the most unfavorable places and in the most bright years. Then our face begins to blur, the skin sags, the corners of the mouth droop, and the skin itself loses its former appearance. healthy color, turning into earthy or yellowish tones.
But don’t be alarmed, girls, together all the signs of aging usually do not disappear, but appear gradually, and only at 75, when all layers of the skin are completely thinned, the number of nerve endings and blood vessels decreases critically, the protective function of the skin finally decreases and it “dries out.”
But as long as our skin has the ability to renew itself and is covered with a protective layer of sebum, we must tirelessly fight for our beauty and attractiveness against any signs of skin aging. Starting from a young age. Faced with the first wrinkles.
Stages of facial skin aging
First wrinkles
First signs aging facial skin in women appear at approximately 25-27 years of age. It is at this age that the synthesis of collagen, elastin and a number of other fibers necessary for the skin decreases. As a result, the skin gradually loses its elasticity, and the first wrinkles begin to appear in places of greatest facial activity.
In addition, at this age, skin renewal processes begin to slow down, the layer of functionally active cells becomes thinner and the layer of dead cells thickens. For comparison: in a child, skin cells are renewed at a tremendous speed, in a girl of eighteen to twenty years old, renewal occurs in three weeks, in a girl aged 28-30 this process takes 4 weeks, and in a fifty-year-old woman - 9 weeks.
For some girls, the first wrinkles may appear as early as 18-20 years old, while for others, only after 30 do “crow’s feet” or small wrinkles on the forehead begin to appear.
External and internal factors play a huge role here. If a girl smokes, drinks and does not take care of her face, then premature aging she can't escape. Often the cause is diseases of the internal organs, especially the intestines. For example, remember how eating some harmful goodies affects your face? If you develop a rash, pimples, or irritation, you most likely need to see a gastroenterologist to determine possible problem, because this affects not only the condition of the skin, but the body as a whole. It also happens that the tendency to early aging is transmitted to a girl at the genetic level from her parents.
