Over the years, the skin loses its firmness, elasticity, wrinkles and folds appear. The fair sex is trying to do everything to delay the manifestation of visible signs of aging. It is unfortunate that even regular use of expensive cosmetics does not give the expected lasting effect. Why is this happening?
What encourages rapid aging of the skin?
Many factors affect the condition of the skin. Namely:
- unbalanced diet, including fried, salty, smoked, sweet foods;
- indoor dry air during the heating season;
- negative environmental factors: wind, dust, frost, exhaust gases, solar rays and so on;
- inadequate skin care or its complete absence;
- lack of vitamins and minerals;
- stress and nervous disorders;
- taking some medications.
Let’s try to figure out what needs to change in life, the habits to get rid of them, and the ones to be recovered in order to keep the skin smooth and beautiful for as long as possible.
Healthy lifestyle
No matter how trite it sounds, but first and foremost, you need to give up bad habits. Smoking and alcohol certainly do not promote health, and any problems with the body immediately affect the condition of the skin. It becomes dehydrated and looks dull and flabby.
Be sure to pay attention to the amount of pure water you drink. Regular water will not be replaced by regular coffee, tea, sugary drinks and even freshly squeezed juices. You need to drink at least 1. 5 liters per day. The amount depends on the weight of the body.
Try not to overeat: get up from the table when there is still a slight feeling of hunger. This is especially true for an evening meal.
Get enough sleep. In sleep, the skin renews itself, so the more we sleep, the more beautiful we become. Before you fall asleep, try to think of the good things, dream and not try to solve unresolved problems. You should have peace and quiet as faithful companions before you go to sleep. Remember that lack of regular sleep will soon manifest itself in a decrease in the tone of the human skin and the whole body.
Walk in the fresh air as often as possible. At any opportunity, get out of town, in nature - it is sure to benefit. You will return home with a healthy blush and sparkle in your eyes.
Facial massage and gymnastics
There are wonders of facial massage and gymnastics. With regular use of these methods, the skin changes in a few weeks. The fact of the matter is that, during the healing sessions, blood circulation and metabolic processes are accelerated. Skin cells get more nutrients.
A light massage can be done at home. Pepper at the beginning of the procedure, clean your face and wash your hands with soap. With a gentle touch of your finger, follow the massage lines tightly, pressing lightly on the skin. Your movements should be like tapping. The massage will be more effective if you apply serum or treat your face with ice cubes previously made from green tea.
After about one week, the skin will be transformed, it will be more elastic and even. Also, massage helps to combat swelling.
Creams, serums, lotions for skin care
We can safely say that cosmetics are one of the most popular ways to change human skin. This is easy to explain: I bought the concealed jar and use it for your health. But such funds do not always give the expected effect. More and more women are buying products, including them under skin care, but there are still problems. In this case, you should contact a beautician who will help you choose a care system. But only part of the fair sex decides to do this.
If you have the time and desire to create anti-aging products with your own hands, then it is best to start with simple recipes. We offer one of them. Measure each dessert spoon for cocoa butter and sea buckthorn butter. Stir and add 3-4 drops of oily solution of vitamins A and E. Apply the cream immediately after cleansing on moist skin. For maximum effectiveness, cover your face with cellophane or parchment. After about 15-20 minutes, the remnants of the product must be removed with a napkin.
You can exchange this cream with industrial ones. And be sure to watch the skin reaction, as even completely natural products are not suitable for everyone. They also have an allergic reaction.
