Age-related changes in the skin are an unpleasant process, but very natural. Salon treatments and regular home care help fight them.
Every woman wants to keep her skin young for years to come. But time shows its effect and inevitably leaves a mark on the face - wrinkles. Some are quite calm, considering their appearance as an integral part of life, while others do not intend to tolerate the injustices of nature and fight the hated "enemy" by all means.
I must say that Hollywood stars, who are obliged to look their best at any age for their work, do not always seek the services of plastic surgeons. The living examples of this are magnificentMeryl Streep, The star of the TitanicKate Winslet, beauty loved by the worldJulia Robertsvery talentedJodie FosterandJulianne Moore. . . All these beautiful women look great and still remain as they are. Each of their wrinkles is an unplayed but experienced role, another one they are rightfully proud of.
However, this is no reason to relax and give up on yourself. "So will" - this is not a story about female beauty. As the saying goes, everyone who succeeds in aging, of course, spends a lot of time on self-care, regularly visits cosmetologists and takes care of their skin at home.
Today we decided to talk about home care with a specialist - a cosmetologist in aesthetic medicine and cosmetology centers.
Where do wrinkles come from?
There are two main types of wrinkles: mimic (dynamic) and static. The first, as its name suggests, is due to the fact that our faces are constantly in motion, even though we are unaware of ourselves. We all frown, laugh, smile, wrinkle our noses and cry from time to time. During this process, threads appear, which naturally disappear at the same time as a certain "leaf" of emotion, caused by muscle contraction in the relevant areas of the face.
Over time, due to some factors such as age, dry skin, loss of elasticity, a change in structure occurs, and then we have to talk about the appearance of static wrinkles that do not disappear anywhere and are also visible at rest. . The problem is faced not only by older people, but also by quite young people - after 35 years and earlier.
Deep wrinkles in the nasolabial triangle, cheeks, and jaw may be the result of gravitational ptosis, that is, sagging of the oval of the face. Skin quality and therefore the severity of wrinkles can be affected by genetics, poor ecology, bad habits, stress, inadequate care, constant sun exposure and other unpleasant external factors.
The cosmetologist explains that if a certain woman's facial expressions are very high, it is better to immediately consult a cosmetologist and solve the problem with the help of botulinum toxin injections. At the same time, there is no need to be afraid of undesirable reactions - a specialist will conduct a thorough investigation and provide detailed information about the indications and contraindications of the procedure. This cosmetic technique helps to relax the muscles, but does not deprive them of activity. Thus, the doctor is also able to combat obvious facial wrinkles and avoid the effects of undesirable masks.
If we talk about static wrinkles, ways to deal with them also require a mandatory discussion with a specialist. The expert explains that the presence of rough wrinkles implies the mandatory work of a dermatocosmetologist.
Fight wrinkles at home
Salon procedures, of course, are very effective and the importance of professional care can not be overestimated, but not everyone has the opportunity and time to constantly use the services of cosmetology clinics. In this case, home care products help.
"What is the best home care recommendation? Patches work well (a cosmetic product in the form of compresses soaked in special compounds for the skin around the eyes, for example, Baikal skull extract, anti-edema components): glued, conditioned - has an effect. Removed - no effect. Any moisturizing mask is good, but about two hours before bedtime. Now there are many that are as good as woven masks, but give temporary results. Say they will solve the problem? No, they will not. But care in any home is great, "said the expert. .
The use of anti-wrinkle masks at home can be very effective. Internet users are happy to share simple but effective recipes with each other. We collected the best and, based on rave reviews, collected the most effective ones and asked the expert to comment on this issue.
It is important! An allergy test should be done before using a new cosmetic product! The doctor told me how to do it right:
"The most sensitive area is the area behind the ear. But you will not see what is happening there. You may feel tingling, tingling or tingling, but you will not see skin reactions. This test is suitable for a cosmetologist, but not very suitable for self-examination. It is used for self-examination. The lower third of the wrist we wear is the most sensitive and appropriate area for this purpose. "
Banana face mask against wrinkles
Our expert welcomes the use of the pulp of this sweet fruit as a home care product:
"Bananas are very good. They contain amino acids and vitamin K. "
The cosmetologist suggests kneading the fruit in an irritated state and adding honey to it if you are not allergic to it. If your skin is very dry, you can mix banana puree with sour cream. It is very convenient to use such a composition as a home-made eye mask for wrinkles.
"You can wrap it in a gauze like you did before and put it on your eyes for about 20 minutes, " the expert advises. - It really works. But not for long. "
This product perfectly moisturizes the skin and gives the face a fresh, comfortable look.
Anti-wrinkle face starch mask
Women who have tried the effect of this so-called miraculous mask claim that it eliminates not only wrinkles, but also deep static wrinkles at home, and their effect is almost comparable to botulinum toxin. Starch is actually a very valuable product that contains calcium, iron, phosphorus and potassium along with vitamins B and C. Cosmetic products based on it have a short-term, but fast and visible lifting effect.
So we need to eat: a tablespoon of starch, 150 ml of water, a tablespoon of sour cream and the same amount of honey. Mix the starch well with 100 ml of cold water, add 50 ml of hot water and cook until thick without boiling. Cool and mix with remaining ingredients. Apply to previously cleansed face & neck. After 20-30 minutes, rinse with warm water and enjoy the reflection in the mirror.
A better result will be given in combination with starch and egg white. This composition has cleansing properties and is ideal for oily skin. Mix a tablespoon of starch with warm water until smooth and then pour in some protein. Leave on for half an hour and rinse.
Yeast face mask against wrinkles
Yeast can be used not only in food, but also as a component for anti-aging masks, because it turned out that yeast can produce collagen when it enters the pores.
Dilute a tablespoon of yeast with warm milk in a ratio of 1: 1, infuse for at least an hour. Then we add a protein and a tablespoon of honey to the composition, mix and apply on face. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse.
It is important! Be sure to take an allergy test before use!
Anti-wrinkle gelatin mask
First of all, the base is prepared. To do this, one tablespoon of the product is poured with two tablespoons of water at room temperature. The mixture swells for a few minutes, then put in a water bath until completely dissolved. Depending on the desired result, various additives are added to the cooled mixture.
"Gelatin is mostly used as a filler component. There are such means - concealers, " explained the cosmetologist. "It consists of silicones that fill wrinkles and have the opposite effect. Light and shadow effect. It's the same as gelatin. They applied it, filled in wrinkles, washed it - that's it. Let's say: an artistic effect is achieved - it does not heal. Speaking of therapeutic function, or rather, the same banana will help. "
You can and should look after yourself. Home care products contain vitamins and minerals and can have a really temporary but visible effect. The main thing is to make sure that there are no allergic reactions and to correctly determine your skin type, and it is recommended to visit the office of a cosmetologist first.
