At age 50+ in women, estrogen production is sharply reduced, which affects the condition of the skin. Facial rejuvenation after 50 years without surgery is possible with the help of competent cosmetology and home care methods.
Skin care after 50 at home
Plastic surgery works wonders, but not every woman can afford the operation. But competent skin care at home is available to everyone. The main thing is to be regular and comprehensive.
Daily care plan:
- Cleaning;
- Tone;
- Moisturizing, nourishing;
- UV protection.
2 times a week is worth doing nourishing masks, as well as self-massage and bonding surface skin for the face.
Cosmetics
The series of skin care cosmetics for women over 50 years is the same as in previous years. But the composition of the funds should be different.
Need:
- Get rid of products that dry out the skin - alkaline foam for washing, lotions containing alcohol;
- Buy protective cosmetics to protect your skin from the negative effects of sun, wind and frost;
- Replace anti-aging creams and regular tonics and tonics.
For cleansing and toning you need:
- Micellar water for makeover removal;
- Milk or cream was cleaned with the correct pH;
- Alcohol-free tonic;
- Facial gommage (use once every 7-14 days depending on skin type).
It is useful to clean the face with ice cubes - it tones and rejuvenates the skin. It is advisable to use decoctions of chamomile, succession, linden to make ice.
For moisturizing and nourishing use day and night creams. Separately, you need to buy cream for the periorbital region, but for the neck you can use the same products as the face. No need to buy expensive cream, pharmacy brands are also suitable.
Good anti-aging creams include:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- Vitamins (tocopherols, retinol);
- coenzymes;
- Peptides;
- Hyaluronic acid;
- Collagen.
It is best to buy pre-made masks, rather than make them yourself. After 50 years, nourishing and moisturizing masks are useful.
Self-massage
Massage will help keep you young. Ideally, it should be done by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not excluded.
Plastic massage is an effective technique. It provides different types of influences - kneading, stroking, vibrating. The procedure begins with superficial effects, then moves on to deep kneading.
Basic facial massage techniques:
- Stroke. Light stroking movements are performed towards the least stretched lines (massage lines);
- There is a kneading surface. It is done with four fingers (except for the thumb), a spiral-like movement is drawn with a slight twist;
- Knee deep. It is done with all five fingers and palm, the pressure should be more intense;
- knocking. It is done with fingertips along all massage lines;
- Vibration. It is done with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the collar to the ear and further to the temple.
Prior to the massage session, the face is cleansed of cosmetics and powdered with talcum powder. Instead of talc, some cosmetologists use cosmetic oil.
Another complex massage technique is a tablespoon. For the procedure, you need to fill two containers with hot and cold water, prepare a few spoonfuls, cosmetic oil.
The impact is done by the convex part of the spoon. Stroke, friction, light patting techniques are used. It is advisable to use silver spoons, but you can take regular ones. Before the session, warm oil is applied to the skin. The effect is done alternately with a cold and hot spoon, the direction of movement is strict along the massage lines.
Gymnastics
A controversial way to rejuvenate the face without injections and operations is gymnastics for the human muscles. Learning exercises at home is not difficult to learn, the main thing is that the classes are regular.
There are different sets of exercises on the Internet, but the opinion of our doctors is the same: gymnastics stimulates the appearance of facial wrinkles! Therefore, we do not recommend doing gymnastics, making a choice in favor of massage.
Salon treatments for facial rejuvenation without surgery
The salons offer various ways of rejuvenation after 55 without surgery. These are traditional methods (peelings, massage, masks, skin care procedures), injection procedures (introduction of fillers, mesotherapy, bio-revitalization) and hardware methods to exfoliate the skin.
Raised thread

Photorejuvenation

The rehabilitation process takes up to 4 weeks. But a pronounced result covers recovery long after the procedure.
Thermal
Thermage is a hardware procedure based on exposure to radio frequency waves or RF radiation. It is done using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The flow of energy destroys old skin structures. As a result, new collagen and elastin fibers are formed, providing an inflating effect.

Fractional laser rejuvenation after 50 years as an alternative to plastic
Fractional laser rejuvenation is called:
- Fractional photothermalization;
- Fractional peeling;
- Laser nanoperforation.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of facial change efficiency, the procedure can be compared to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser resurfacing is safer and more affordable.
The procedure must be performed in a suitably certified cosmetology clinic. Non-specific use of the laser can lead to burns and other harmful effects.
Advantages of the method
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, which has many advantages:
- Without severe pain
- Significant effect even after a single procedure;

- Sagging skin, clear oval loss of face;
- Scars, scars;

But there are also contraindications. They must be taken into account, because at the age of fifty, not everyone has iron health. Laser renewal is prohibited under such circumstances:
- inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- Psoriasis, eczema;
- Malignant neoplasms of any localization;
- heart disease;
- Epilepsy;
- state of immunodeficiency;
- neurological disorders;
- Diabetes;
- Autoimmune diseases.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of any chronic diseases. On this basis the specialist decides which technique can be used.
The essence of the procedure
The technique is the effect of a laser beam on the deep layer of the skin. In the affected areas, the cells are "burned", which stimulates the regeneration process, collagen and elastin synthesis.
Women over the age of 50 are advised to use a non-ablative exposure method. The difference is that there is no rehabilitation process. This even allows you to smooth deep wrinkles without a period of rehabilitation.
Effect
During the first days after exposure, the skin will become inflamed.
It is possible to note:
- In the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- In the first 1-2 days - redness;
- On day 2-3 - peeling, lasting 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be especially sensitive to sunlight, so you need to apply a protective cream with SPF before going outside.
After the peeling has stopped, the effect of the procedure will be noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is tighter, the face looks fresh. But to achieve a significant result, you need to undergo a course of procedures. Their number is determined individually.
What methods are ineffective at this age
A professional cosmetologist will provide assistance in choosing the appropriate method of rejuvenation.
After 50 years, it will not be possible to achieve a good effect using:
- Light fruit peels;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These procedures are good for young women. After fifty years and more than sixty years, there is a need for combined techniques that give a clear lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.

I can say that the result - the eyelids tightened, wrinkles became smaller, pigment spots disappearedsmall, but the big ones just turned pale. I will repeat the process later. "

I chose a fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say? homeless hit. Show it lasted 3 days, then it got better. But she could only "go out to people" after 2 weeks My eye wrinkles disappeared, the oval became clearer, the folds becamenasolabial less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time I will not dare to endure the pain even for the sake of beauty.
