Age-related changes to the skin are an unpleasant process, but they are quite natural. Regular salon and home care treatments help fight them.
Every woman wants to keep her skin youthful for years to come. But time takes its toll and inevitably leaves marks on the face - wrinkles. Some take their appearance quite calmly, considering them an integral part of life, others have no intention of accepting the injustices of nature and fighting the hated "enemy" at all available means.
I must say that even Hollywood stars, who, by the nature of their work, are obliged to look their best at any age, do not always resort to the services of plastic surgeons. A clear example of this is an excellent oneMeryl Streep, the star of the "Titanic"Kate Winslet, the beauty that the world lovesJulia Robertsvery talentedJodie FosterandJulianne Moore. . . All these beautiful women look beautiful and still be themselves. Each of their wrinkles is another, not even played, but a living role, which they should be proud of.
However, this is absolutely no reason to relax and give up on yourself. "And so it will be" - this is not a story about female beauty. Everyone who is successful, as they say, ages beautifully, undoubtedly spends a lot of time on self-care, visits a cosmetologist regularly and cares for their skin at home.
It's about home care that today we decided to talk to a cosmetologist at the center of aesthetic medicine and cosmetology.
Where do wrinkles come from?
There are two main types of wrinkles: mimic (dynamic) and static. The first, as the name suggests, is formed due to the fact that our faces are constantly moving, even if we are not aware of it ourselves. We all frowned from time to time, laughed, smiled, wrinkled our noses, cried. In the process, grooves naturally appear in the appropriate areas of our face, which are caused by muscle contractions, which disappear along with certain emotional "leaves".
Over time, due to several factors, such as age, dry skin, loss of elasticity, structural changes occur, and then we have to talk about the appearance of static wrinkles that do not disappear anywhere and are visible even at rest. . The problem is faced not only by the elderly, but also young people - after 35 years, and even earlier.
Deep wrinkles in the area of the nasolabial triangle, cheeks, chin can be the result of gravitational ptosis, that is, the drooping of the oval of the face. The quality of the skin, as well as the severity of wrinkles, can be affected by genetics, poor ecology, bad habits, stress, inadequate care, persistent sun exposure and other unfavorable external factors.
The cosmetologist explains that if the imitation of a certain woman is very high, it is better to immediately seek advice from a beautician and solve the problem with the help of botulinum toxin injections. At the same time, there is no need to be afraid of unwanted reactions - the specialist will carry out a thorough examination and will tell you in detail about the indications and contraindications to the procedure. This cosmetic technique helps relax muscles, without reducing activity. Thus, doctors manage to simultaneously combat pronounced facial wrinkles and avoid the unwanted effects of masks.
If we are talking about static wrinkles, then how to deal with them also requires obligatory discussion with a specialist. The specialist explains that the presence of a rough fold implies the mandatory work of a dermatologist.
Fighting wrinkles at home
Salon procedures are, of course, very effective, and the importance of professional care can hardly be overstated, but not everyone has the opportunity and time to use the services of a cosmetology clinic on a sustainable basis. In this case, home care products come to the rescue.
"What is the best home care advice? Patches work well (a cosmetic product for the skin around the eyes in the form of a compress-patch soaked in a special compound, for example, extract from Baikal skullcap, an anti-edematous component): glued, slandered - there is an effect. Removed - has no effect. Any moisturizing mask is good, but only about two hours before going to bed. Now a lot of masks are woven like, which do give good results, but are temporary. Saying they will solve the problem? No, they won't. But any home care is fine, "the specialist assured.
Using an anti wrinkle mask at home can be very effective. Internet users are willing to share simple but effective recipes with each other. We have compiled the best and, judging from the rave reviews, the most effective and asked for expert comments on the matter.
Urgent! Allergy test must be done before using new cosmetic products! The doctor tells how to do it right:
"The most sensitive area is the area behind the ear. But you won't see what's going on there. You may feel tingling, tingling or scratching, but you won't see any skin reactions. This testing method is convenient for beauticians, but not very suitable for self-testing. Therefore, the inner surface of the hand is used for self-examination. The lower third of the forearm, where we wear the watch, is the most sensitive zone and is best suited for this purpose. "
Anti wrinkle banana face mask
Our experts welcome the use of this sweet pulp as a home care product:
"Bananas are very tasty. It contains amino acids and vitamin K".
Beauty experts suggest kneading the fruit until it is mushy and adding honey if there are no allergies. If your skin is very dry, you can mix banana puree with sour cream. It is quite acceptable to use such a composition as a homemade eye mask for wrinkles.
"You can, as you did before, fold it up into gauze and place it over your eye for about 20 minutes, " advises the expert. - This is really working. But not for long. "
This product perfectly moisturizes the skin and gives the face a refreshed and refreshed look.
Anti wrinkle facial starch mask
Women who have tried the effects of this supposedly miraculous mask claim that it can relieve not only mimicking wrinkles, but even deep static wrinkles at home, and compare the effect to nearly botulinum toxin. Starch is indeed a very valuable product that contains vitamins B, C, as well as calcium, iron, phosphorus and potassium. Cosmetic products based on it provide a short-term, but quick and visible lifting effect.
So, for cooking we need: a tablespoon of starch, 150 ml of water, a tablespoon of fatty sour cream and the same amount of honey. Mix flour with 100 ml cold water, add 50 ml hot water and cook until thickened, without letting it boil. Cool and combine with other ingredients. Apply to the skin of the face and neck that has been cleaned before. Wash it off with warm water after 20-30 minutes and enjoy the reflection in the mirror.
Better results will be provided by starch combined with egg whites. This composition has cleansing properties and is ideal for oily skin. Mix one tablespoon of starch with warm water until smooth, then pour one protein. Leave it on for half an hour and rinse it off.
Anti wrinkle yeast face mask
It turns out that yeast can be used not only for cooking, but also as a component of an anti-aging mask, because yeast can actually produce collagen when it enters the pores.
We dilute a tablespoon of yeast with warm milk in a ratio of 1: 1, let it brew for at least an hour. Then we add one protein and one tablespoon of honey to the composition, mix and apply on the face. We keep it for 15 minutes, then wash it off.
Urgent! Before using, be sure to do an allergy test!
Anti wrinkle gelatin mask
First of all, the base is being prepared. For this, a tablespoon of the product is poured with two tablespoons of water at room temperature. The mixture swells in a few minutes, after which it is placed in a water bath until completely dissolved. Various additives are added to the cold mixture depending on the desired result.
"Gelatin is used more as a filler. There is such a way - masquerade, - explains the beautician. - They contain silicones that fill in wrinkles and create a reflective effect. Light and shadow effects. There are no shadows, and the depth of wrinkles seems to be getting smaller. Washed. - the result is the same as before. It's the same with gelatin. They apply it, fill in the wrinkles, wash it off - that's all. Let's just say: artistic effect is achieved - not healing. If we talk about a therapeutic function, then the same banana will help. "
You can and should take care of yourself. Home care products contain vitamins and minerals and, indeed, can have temporary, but noticeable effects. The main thing is to make sure there are no allergic reactions and to determine your skin type correctly, and for this it is advisable to visit a beautician's office in advance.
