In women aged 50+, estrogen production decreases sharply, which affects the condition of the skin. After 50 years, facial rejuvenation without surgery is possible with the help of cosmetology methods and competent home care.
Plastic surgery works wonders, but not all women can afford it. However, competent skin care at home is available to everyone. The main thing is to be regular and thorough.
Daily care plan:
- cleaning;
- toning;
- moisturizer;
- nutrition.
It is worth doing nourishing masks twice a week, as well as combining self-massage and gymnastics for facial muscles.
The set of skin care cosmetics for women aged 50+ is the same as in previous years. But the composition of funds should be different.
Needed:
- get rid of dry skin products - alkaline foams for washing, alcohol-based lotions;
- buy protective cosmetics to protect the skin from the negative effects of sun, wind and frost;
- Replace regular creams and tonics with anti-aging ones.
For cleaning and toning you need:
- foam or gel for washing with neutral pH;
- Scrub-gommage (use once every 7-14 days, depending on skin type);
- misel suyu;
- non-alcoholic tonic.
It is useful to wipe the face with ice cubes - it tones and refreshes the skin. It is recommended to use chamomile, consistency, linden decoctions to make ice.
Use day and night creams for hydration and nourishment. Separately, you should buy a cream for the skin of the eyelids, but you can use the same products as for the face for the neck. You do not need to buy expensive cream, medium-priced funds are also suitable.
Good anti-aging creams include:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- coenzyme Q10;
- peptides;
- hyaluronic acid;
- collagen.
You can buy ready-made masks or make your own. After 50 years, masks with oils, honey, fresh vegetables and fruits are useful. Home treatment with starch, gelatin and homemade protein is used for traction.
Massage will help you stay young. Ideally, this should be done by an experienced cosmetologist, but self-massage is not excluded.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides several types of shocks - kneading, strokes, vibrations. The procedure begins with surface effects, then proceed to deep kneading.
Basic tricks:
- Squeeze. Light strokes are performed in the direction of the least elongated lines (massage lines).
- Kneading becomes surface. It is performed with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement similar to drawing a spiral with small turns.
- Deep kneading. All is done with five fingers and palms, the pressure should be more intense.
- tapping. All massage is done with fingertips along the lines.
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the clavicle to the ear and then to the temple.
Before the session, the face is dusted with sterile talcum powder - this is necessary to prevent the fingers from slipping on the skin.
Another technique is a complex massage with spoons. For the procedure you need to prepare two containers filled with hot and cold water, a few tablespoons, cosmetic oil.
The blow is carried out by the convex part of the spoon. Squeezing, rubbing, light rubbing methods are used. It is advisable to use silver spoons, but you can take the usual ones. Hot oil is applied to the skin before the session. The effect is done alternately with a cold and a hot spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
An effective way to rejuvenate the face without needles and surgery is gymnastics for facial muscles. It is not difficult to learn to exercise at home, the main thing is that the lessons are regular.
There are different training sets. Here is one of them (do each movement 10 times):
- Take air into your mouth and distill it in a circle from one cheek to the other as you roll the ball. First clockwise, then counterclockwise.
- Press the corners of your lips firmly with your fingers. Overcome the resistance of your fingers and pull your lips forward as if you want to kiss someone.
- Press the outer corners of the eyes with your fingers (with closed eyelids). Open your eyes as wide as possible, raise your eyebrows a little. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lower your eyelids and relax your muscles.
- Place three fingers in the area between the eyebrows, press firmly. Overcome the resistance of your fingers, try to connect your eyebrows, reach your eyebrows.
- Open your mouth and try to inhale as if hiding your lips behind your teeth. This movement raises the jaw.
- Squeeze the corners of your lips with your fingers and try to smile broadly.
- Pull your cheeks in and then inflate them with air.
Burning sensation may occur on the skin during exercise. This is normal because the muscles work and contract.
Salons offer a variety of ways to rejuvenate without surgery after the age of 55. These are both traditional methods (massage, masks) and new methods (application of fillers, exposure to the device).
The essence of the technique of non-surgical face and neck rejuvenation is performed by piercing the skin and applying synthetic fibers that create a strengthening frame. The effect of the procedure area lasts 3-4 years.
Lifting with ropes is recommended for sagging cheeks, the formation of the second jaw, changing the contour of the face, the formation of wrinkles.
Polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold are used for the production of yarns. The diameter of the strands is not more than the thickness of human hair. It is not felt after the application of the topic and is not visible to others.
The essence of this procedure is that the skin is exposed to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux provided by explosions. The wavelength used is 400-1400 nm. The effect of the procedure is not immediate, but appears 6-8 weeks after the end of the course. During this period, the collagen frame and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened, fine wrinkles are smoothed.
Light energy heats tissues and destroys light-sensitive substances. So:
- age spots disappear, skin heals;
- turgor increases;
- Increases the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin.
The technique is not suitable for all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to remove deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser rejuvenation is a procedure that can stop aging. The bottom line is that the epidermis is affected by the laser. The top layer of cells evaporates, which stimulates regeneration processes.
Grinding is one of the types of peeling. However, the effect is carried out in deeper layers compared to acid peeling. The procedure can be performed only by a certified craftsman.
This is an apparatus procedure based on infrared exposure to the deeper layers of the skin. Radio is carried out using a device that transmits wave energy.
The flow of energy heats the deeper layers of the skin to the compression temperature. As a result, stretched collagen fibers are stretched to give a traction effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
An injection procedure with the application of special "cocktails" under the skin. Preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
The following changes occur with the application of mesococktails:
- age spots disappear;
- improves complexion;
- dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed;
- relief is leveled.
Medicines are injected with very thin needles. Many microtraumas occur, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and improve blood microcirculation.
When planning a rejuvenation without surgery, many women choose injection procedures. In cosmetology, various drugs are used for injection into the skin:
- hyaluronic acid with peptides;
- botulinum toxin;
- calcium collagen hydroxyapatite.
Selected drugs are given by injection. Very thin injection needles are used.
Rejuvenation of the face and neck is carried out with the use of special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure, the face gets a fresh look, wrinkles and acne scars disappear. The technique stimulates the production of collagen.
A home alternative to ozone therapy is facial treatment with hydrogen peroxide. However, external exposure is less effective than injection techniques.
After 60 years, effective facial rejuvenation without surgery is possible using fractional laser exposure techniques. In terms of effectiveness, the procedure can be compared to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
The procedure should be performed in a cosmetology clinic with the appropriate certificates. Non-professional use of the laser can cause burns and other adverse effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of non-surgical facial rejuvenation and has many advantages:
- lack of severe pain;
- noticeable effect after a procedure;
- absence of adverse side effects;
- a short rehabilitation period.
An important advantage is the reasonable price with an obvious efficiency (8-10 thousand rubles). The procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - smooths wrinkles, tightens, removes scars after acne.
It is recommended to use fractional laser in case of the following cosmetic defects:
- deep, including wrinkles;
- sagging skin, loss of clear oval of the face;
- scars, scars, spider veins;
- enlarged pores, pimples;
- dark spots.
But there are contraindications. These should be taken into account, because not everyone in their fifties has iron health. In such cases, laser rejuvenation is prohibited:
- large inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- malignant neoplasms of any localization;
- heart disease;
- epilepsy;
- immune deficiency condition;
- neurological disorders;
- serious allergic diseases.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of any chronic diseases. Based on this, the specialist decides which technique to use.
The technique involves the action of a laser beam on the deeper layers of the skin. Because the beam is divided into many small beams, the effect occurs only in certain microscopes, leaving the remaining tissues untouched. Cells are "burned" in the affected areas, which stimulates the recovery process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women over the age of 50 are recommended to use the non-ablative method. The difference is that the deeper layers of the dermis are involved in the process. This allows you to smooth even deep wrinkles.
The skin will become inflamed during the first week after exposure. It can be noted:
- in the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- On the 2-3rd day - peeling lasting 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be especially sensitive to sunlight, so it is necessary to apply a protective cream before going out.
The effect of the procedure will be noticeable after the peeling stops, ie about a week later. Wrinkles become less deep, skin tightens, face looks fresh. But to get a clear result, you need to take a course of sessions. Their number is determined individually.
Assistance in choosing the appropriate method of rejuvenation will be provided by a professional cosmetologist.
After 50 years, it will not be possible to get a good effect when using:
- light fruit peels;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These treatments are good for young women over 30 years of age. After fifty or more sixty years, there is a need for methods that give a clear lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Opinions about facial rejuvenation methods are mixed: there are many positive reviews, but there are also those who do not like the procedure.
First look
With age, wrinkles and clear age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation is a contraindication for me, so I decided to use non-surgical methods. The cosmetologist recommended laser rejuvenation. I agree with the procedure, I did it without severe pain and bruising. By the 6th day, his face was brighter than usual, but he looked decent. I can say that there is a result - the eyelids are tightened, wrinkles are reduced, small pigment spots disappear, but adults are only pale. I will repeat the process later.
Second review
I'm afraid of having plastic surgery, so I took great care of my skin. But after 50, the face "collapsed", there were cheeks, a second jaw, a network of wrinkles. I prefer fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears flowed from my eyes, I could hardly stand this execution. I got up in the morning and was afraid of myself in the mirror - the face of a beaten homeless woman. He survived for 3 days and then recovered. But he can really "go to people" after only 2 weeks. The wrinkles in my eyes disappeared, the oval became clearer, and the nasal-labial wrinkles deepened less. The effect is not bad, but for the second time I will not dare to endure this pain, even for the sake of beauty.
