Age-related changes in the skin are an unpleasant process, but it is quite natural. Salon treatments and regular home care help them fight.
Every woman wants to keep her skin youthful for years. But time acquires its result and inevitably leaves traces on the face - wrinkles. Some are quite calm in their appearance, which makes it an integral part of life, others are not going to accept the injustices of nature and fight the hated "enemy" by all possible means.
It must be said that even Hollywood stars, who are obliged to look their best at any age due to their work, do not always turn to the services of plastic surgeons. Clear examples of this are excellentMeryl Streep, Star of "Titanic"Kate Winslet, The world 's favorite beautyJulia RobertsExtremely talentedJodie FosterAndJuliana Moore. . . All these beautiful women look wonderful and still remain themselves. Each of their wrinkles is another, not even played, but lived in a role of which they are justifiably proud.
However, this is not necessarily a reason to relax and give up on yourself. "And so be it" - this is not a story about a woman's beauty. Everyone who succeeds, as they say, grows old beautifully, undoubtedly spends a lot of time taking care of themselves, regularly visits cosmetologists and takes care of their own skin at home.
This is about home care, which we decided to talk about today with an expert - a cosmetologist from the centers 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 implies, is created because our face is in constant motion, even if we ourselves do not know it. From time to time we all moan, laugh, smile, blow our noses, cry. In this process, grooves caused naturally by muscle contraction appear in the corresponding areas of our face, which disappear in parallel with the "departure" of a certain emotion.
Over time, due to certain factors such as age, dry skin, loss of its elasticity, the structure changes, and then we have to talk about the formation of static wrinkles that disappear nowhere and can be seen even at rest. . The problem is faced not only by the elderly, but also by quite young people - after 35 years and even earlier.
Deep wrinkles around the nasolabial triangle, cheeks, chin can be the result of gravitational ptosis, or a slight decrease in the facial oval. The quality of the skin and, consequently, the severity of wrinkles can be affected by genetics, poor ecology, bad habits, stress, insufficient care, constant exposure to sunlight and other unfavorable external factors.
The cosmetologist explains that if the mimic activity of a particular woman is very high, it is better to seek the advice of a cosmetologist immediately and resolve the issue by means of botulinum toxin injections. At the same time, you do not need to be afraid of adverse reactions - a specialist will conduct a thorough examination and tell you in detail the instructions and contraindications to the procedure. This cosmetic technique helps to relax the muscles while not depriving them of activity. Thus, the doctor manages to simultaneously fight the pronounced mimic wrinkles and prevent the effects of unwanted mask.
If we are talking about static wrinkles, then the ways to deal with them also require mandatory discussion with a specialist. The specialist 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 it is difficult to assess the importance of professional care, but not everyone has the opportunity and time to use the services of cosmetology clinics constantly. In this case, home care products come to the rescue.
"What is the best advice for home care? Patches work well (cosmetic product in the form of compresses-patches impregnated in special compounds around the skin around the eyes, for example, Baikal skullcap extract, anti-swelling components): sticky, cleansed - there is an effect. Removed - no effect"Any moisturizing mask is good, but only two hours before bedtime. Now there are many, like woven masks, that give good but temporary results. You said they would solve the problem? No, they are not perfect for any home care, " the specialist assured.
Using anti-wrinkle masks at home can be very effective. Internet users are willing to share simple but effective recipes. We have collected the best and, according to some estimates, the most effective reviews and asked an expert to comment on the matter.
ᲛImportant! An allergy test should be performed before using any new cosmetic product! The doctor told you how to do it right:
"The most sensitive area is behind the ear. But you can not see what is happening there. You may feel a grumbling, tingling or scratching, but you will not see skin reactions. "For the purpose of self-examination. The lower third of the forearm, where we spend the hour, is the most sensitive and suitable area for this purpose. "
Anti-wrinkle banana facial mask
Our expert welcomes the use of this sweet fruit pulp as a home care product:
"Bananas are very good. They contain amino acids and vitamin K. "
The cosmetologist recommends picking the fruit and adding it in an acidic state, if you are not allergic to it. If the skin is very dry, you can mix banana puree with sour cream. It is perfectly acceptable to use a composition such as a handmade anti-wrinkle eye mask.
"You can, as you did before, turn off the gas 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 it a fresh, relaxed look.
Anti-wrinkle starch facial mask
Women who have tried the action of this supposedly miraculous mask claim that it can release not only mimic wrinkles but also deep static wrinkles at home and compare its effect to almost botulinum toxin. Starch is indeed a very valuable product that contains B, C vitamins as well as calcium, iron, phosphorus and potassium. Cosmetic products based on it give a short-term, but fast and visible lifting effect.
So for cooking we need: a tablespoon of starch, 150 ml of water, a tablespoon of greasy 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 boil until it thickens, without boiling. Cool and combine with the rest of the ingredients. Apply to previously cleansed face and neck skin. Wash off with warm water after 20-30 minutes and soak in the mirror.
Starch with egg whites will give even better results. 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 one protein. Leave on for half an hour and rinse.
Anti-wrinkle yeast facial mask
It turned out that yeast can be used not only in cooking, but also as a component for anti-aging masks, as it was found that yeast can produce collagen in the pores.
We dilute a tablespoon of warm milk in a ratio of 1: 1, leave for at least an hour. Then add one egg white and a teaspoon of honey to the composition, mix and apply on face. We keep it for 15 minutes and then wash it.
ᲛImportant! Be sure to do an allergy test before use!
Anti-wrinkle gelatin mask
First of all, the base is made. To do this, pour two tablespoons of water at room temperature. The mixture swells for a few minutes, after which it is placed in a water bath until it is completely dissolved. Various additional ingredients are added to the cooled mixture depending on the desired result.
"Gelatin is increasingly used as a filler component. There are such remedies - concealers, - explained the cosmetologist. - They contain silicones that fill the wrinkle and create a reflective effect. Light and shadow effect. "Washed - the result is the same. In the case of gelatin, it is the same. They removed it, filled in the wrinkles, washed it - that's all. Let's just say: an artistic effect is achieved - not healing.
You can and should take care of yourself. Home care products contain vitamins and minerals and, indeed, can have temporary but visible effects. The main thing is to make sure that there are no allergic reactions and to correctly determine your skin type, and for this it is advisable to visit a cosmetology office first.
