Age-related skin changes are an unpleasant but quite natural process.Salon treatments and regular home care help combat them.
Every woman wants to maintain youthful skin for many years.But time takes its toll and inevitably leaves its mark on the face - wrinkles.Some perceive their appearance quite calmly, considering them an integral part of life, while others do not intend to endure the injustice of nature and fight the hated "enemy" with all available means.
It must be said that even Hollywood stars, who by the nature of their work are required to look as good as possible at any age, do not always turn to the services of plastic surgeons.Living examples of this are wonderful Meryl Streep, star of "Titanic" Kate Winslet, the world's favorite beauty Julia Roberts, extremely talented Jodie Foster AND Julianne Moore.All these beautiful women look luxurious and at the same time remain themselves.Their every wrinkle is another role, not even played, but lived, of which they are rightly proud.
However, this is not a reason to relax and give up on yourself."And so it shall be" is not a story about female beauty.All those who manage, as they say, to grow old gracefully, undoubtedly devote a lot of time to self-care, regularly visit cosmetologists and take care of their skin at home.
Today we decided to talk about home care with an expert - a cosmetologist at the centers of aesthetic medicine and cosmetology.
Where do wrinkles come from?
There are two main types of wrinkles: facial (dynamic) and static.The first ones, as the name implies, are formed due to the fact that our face is in constant motion, even if we ourselves are not aware of it.We all wrinkle, laugh, smile, wrinkle our noses and cry from time to time.In this process, furrows appear in the corresponding areas of our face, caused by muscle contraction, which disappear simultaneously with the "disappearance" of a certain emotion.
Over time, due to several factors, such as age, dry skin, loss of elasticity, the structure changes and then we have to talk about the appearance of static wrinkles that do not disappear anywhere and are visible even when resting.The problem is faced not only by the elderly, but also by many young people - after the age of 35, or even earlier.
Deep wrinkles in the area of the nasolabial triangle, cheeks and chin can be the result of gravitational ptosis, that is, the fall of the oval of the face.The quality of the skin, and therefore the severity of wrinkles, can be affected by genetics, poor environment, bad habits, stress, insufficient care, constant exposure to sunlight and other unfavorable external factors.
The cosmetologist explains that if a certain woman's facial activity is very high, it is better to immediately seek advice from a cosmetologist and solve the problem with botulinum toxin injections.At the same time, there is no need to be afraid of unwanted reactions - the specialist will conduct a complete examination and tell you in detail about the indications and contraindications for the procedure.This cosmetic technique helps to relax the muscles without depriving them of activity.Thus, the doctor is able to simultaneously fight pronounced expression wrinkles and avoid the unwanted effect of the mask.
If we talk about static wrinkles, then their treatment methods also require mandatory discussion with a specialist.The specialist explains that the presence of rough wrinkles requires the mandatory work of a dermatocosmetologist.
Fighting wrinkles at home
Salon procedures are, of course, very effective, and the importance of professional care is difficult to overestimate, but not everyone has the opportunity and time to use the services of cosmetic clinics on an ongoing basis.In this case, home care products come to the rescue.
"What do you recommend for home care? Patches (a cosmetic product for the skin around the eyes in the form of compresses-mortars, saturated with special compounds, for example, Baikal skull extract, antiedematous components) work well: stick it, wear it - it has an effect. Take it off - it has no effect. Each moisturizing mask lasts only two hours, but now there are many masks. These seemingly fabric masks that give good results, buttemporary, they say they will solve the problem.
Using anti-wrinkle masks at home can be very effective.Internet users willingly share simple but effective recipes with each other.We have collected the best and, judging by the excellent reviews, the most effective and asked an expert to give his comments on the matter.
Important!Before using any new cosmetic product, you should do an allergy test!The doctor told us how to do it right:
"The most sensitive area is the area behind the ear. But you will not be able to see what is happening there. You may feel a tingling, scratching or scratching sensation, but you will not see any skin reaction. This test method is suitable for a cosmetologist, but it is not very suitable for self-testing. Therefore, for self-examination of the lower part of the hand, where the lower part of the hand is used, where the part is usedthe bottom, our hours, is the most sensitive and most suitable area for these purposes."
Banana anti-wrinkle mask
Our expert welcomes the use of the pulp of this sweet fruit as a home care product:
"Banana is very good. It contains amino acids and vitamin K."
The cosmetologist suggests that the fruit be pureed in a soft state and add honey if you are not allergic to it.If your skin is very dry, you can mix mashed banana with sour cream.It is quite acceptable to use this composition as a homemade anti-wrinkle eye mask.
"You can fold it, as you did before, in gauze and place it over your eyes for 20 minutes," advises the expert. — This really works.But not for long."
This product perfectly hydrates the skin and gives the face a fresh and relaxed look.
Anti-wrinkle mask with starch
Women who have tested the effect of this supposedly miraculous mask on themselves claim that it can get rid of not only facial wrinkles, but also deep static wrinkles at home, and compare its effect almost to botulinum toxin.Starch is really a very valuable product, containing vitamins B and C, as well as calcium, iron, phosphorus and potassium.Cosmetic products based on it provide a short-term but quick and visible lifting effect.
So, for cooking we need: a spoon of starch, 150 ml of water, a tablespoon of fatty 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 it thickens, without letting it boil.Cool and combine with the rest of the ingredients.Apply to previously cleansed face and neck skin.Rinse with warm water after 20-30 minutes and enjoy the reflection in the mirror.
Starch combined with egg white will give even better results.This composition has cleansing properties and is ideal for oily skin.Mix a tablespoon of starch with warm water to a homogeneous consistency, then pour in a protein.Leave it for half an hour and rinse.
Face mask with yeast for wrinkles
It turns out that yeast can be used not only in cooking, but also as an ingredient for anti-aging masks, as it turned out that yeast fungi, when introduced into the pores, are able to produce collagen.
Dilute a spoonful of yeast with warm milk in a 1:1 ratio, let it brew for at least an hour.Then add a protein and a tablespoon of honey, mix and apply to the face.Leave it on for 15 minutes and then rinse it off.
Important!Before use, be sure to do an allergy test!
Gelatin mask for wrinkles
First of all, the base is prepared.To do this, pour one tablespoon of the product with two tablespoons of water at room temperature.The mixture is stirred 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 used more as a filling ingredient. There are such products - concealers," the cosmetologist explained."They contain silicones, which seem to fill the wrinkles and create a reflective effect. The effect of light and shadow. There is no shadow, and the depth of the wrinkle seems to be decreasing. I washed it - the result was the same as before. The same with gelatin. They applied it, filled the wrinkle, washed it, washed this effect. not therapeutic. If we talk about the healing function, then the same banana will most likely help.
You can and should take care of yourself.Home care products contain vitamins and trace elements and, indeed, can have a noticeable, albeit temporary, effect.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 first visit the office of a cosmetologist.
