Age-related changes in the skin are an unpleasant process, but it is quite natural. Regular salon treatments and home care help them.
Every woman wants to keep her skin young for years to come. But time takes a toll and inevitably leaves an imprint on the face - wrinkles. Some take their appearance calmly, while considering it as an integral part of life, others do not intend to put up with the injustice of nature and fight the "enemy" of hatred in every way available.
I have to say that even Hollywood stars, who, by the nature of their work, are obliged to do their best at any age, do not always have to rely on the services of plastic surgeons. The wonderful are vivid examples of thisMeryl Streep, star of "Titanic"Kate Winslet, a beauty that the world lovesJulia Robertsextremely talentedJodie FosterandJulianne Moore. . . All these beautiful women look gorgeous and still remain. Each of its rays is another role, not even played, but of which they are proud.
However, this is not a reason at all to relax and give up on yourself. "And so it will" - this is not a story about women’s beauty. Everyone who succeeds, as they say, ages beautifully, spends a lot of time on self-care, visits cosmetologists on a regular basis and takes care of their skin at home.
It 's about home care that today we decided to talk to an expert - a cosmetologist at 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 constantly moving, even if we ourselves are not aware of it. We all occasionally frown, laugh, smile, wrinkle our nose, cry. In the process, grooves appear naturally on the corresponding areas of our face, caused by muscle contraction, which disappears at the same time with a certain feeling "leaves".
Over time, due to several 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 even visibleat rest. . The problem is not just for the elderly, but also for many young people - after 35 years, and even earlier.
Deep wrinkles in the area of the nasolabial triangle, cheeks, chin can lead to gravitational ptosis, that is, sagging oval of the face. Genetics, poor ecology, bad habits, stress, inadequate care, constant exposure to sunlight and other unfavorable external factors can affect the quality of the skin, and thus the severity of wrinkles.
The cosmetologist explains that if the mammalian activity of a particular woman is preferred, it is best to seek the advice of a cosmetologist immediately and resolve the issue with the help of botulinum toxin injections. At the same time, you do not need to be afraid of undesirable reactions - a specialist will conduct a thorough examination and tell you in detail about the indications and violations of the procedure. This cosmetic technique helps to relax the muscles, but without removing activity from them. Thus, the doctor manages to simultaneously combat pronounced mimic wrinkles and avoid the undesirable mask effect.
If we talk about static wrinkles, then a mandatory discussion with a specialist on ways to deal with them is required. The specialist explains that the presence of a rough belt implies the mandatory work of a dermatocosmetologist.
Fighting wrinkles at home
Salon procedures are very effective, of course, and the importance of professional care can hardly be overestimated, but not everyone has the opportunity and time to use the services of cosmetology clinics on an ongoing basis. In this case, home care products come to the rescue.
"What is the best advice for home care? Patches work well (cosmetic product for the skin around the eyes in the form of compression-patches soaked in special compounds, for example, extract of Baikal skull, anti-edematous components): paste, vilified - there is an effect Removed - no effect Any moisturizing mask is good, but only about two hours before bed. Now there are many such as woven masks, which give a good, but temporary result. The problem? No. But any home care is great, "said the specialist.
Using anti-wrinkle masks at home can be very effective. Internet users are willing to share simple but effective recipes with each other. We collected the best and, judging by the rave reviews, the most effective ones and asked the expert to comment on this topic.
Important! Allergy testing must be done before using any new cosmetic product! The doctor told you how to do it properly:
"The most sensitive area is the area behind the ear. But you will not see what is going on there. You may feel tingling, tingling or scratching, but you will not see any skin reactions. This test method is convenientfor the beautician, but not very suitable for self-testing. Thus, the inner surface of the hand is used for self-checking. The lower third of the forearm, where we wear the watch, is the most sensitive and most comfortable belt. suitable for this purpose. "
Anti-wrinkle banana face mask
Our expert welcomes the use of these sweet fruit pulp as a home care product:
"Banana is very good. It contains amino acids and vitamin K".
The beautician recommends kneading the fruit to a mushy state and adding honey if he has no allergies. If your skin is very dry, you can mix banana puree with sour cream. It is quite acceptable to use such a composition as a home eye mask for wrinkles.
"You can, as you already did, wrap it in gauze and put it on your eyes for about 20 minutes, " the expert suggests. - It really works. But not long ".
This product moisturizes the skin perfectly and gives the person a fresh, relaxed look.
Anti-wrinkle face starch mask
Women who have tried this mask, which is thought to be miraculous, claim that it can relieve not only imitation wrinkles, but even deep static wrinkles at home, and compare its effect to almost botulinum toxin. Starch is indeed a very valuable product containing vitamins B, C, as well as calcium, iron, phosphorus and potassium. Cosmetic products based on it give a short-term but quick and visible effect.
So for cooking we need: a tablespoon 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 warm water and cook until thickened, not allowing to boil. 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 enjoy the reflection in the mirror.
Starch combined with egg whites will give an even better result. This composition has cleansing properties and is very suitable for oily skin. Mix a tablespoon of starch with warm water until smooth, then pour in one protein. Leave it to act for half an hour and rinse it off.
Anti-wrinkle yeast face mask
It turns out that yeast can be used not only in cooking, but also as a component for anti-aging masks, since yeast has successfully produced collagen when it enters the pores.
We dilute a tablespoon of yeast with warm milk in a ratio of 1: 1, let it brew for at least an hour. Then we add one protein and a tablespoon of honey to the composition, mix and apply on face. We keep it for 15 minutes, then we wash it.
Important! Before using, be sure to do an allergy test!
Anti-wrinkle gelatin mask
First, the base is being prepared. To this end, a tablespoon of the product is poured with two tablespoons of water at room temperature. The mixture changes within a few minutes, after which it is placed in a water bath until it dissolves completely. Various additional ingredients are added to the cooling mixture depending on the desired result.
"Gelatin is increasingly used as a filler component. There are such methods - concealers, - explained the beautician. - They contain silicones that fill the wrinkles and create a reflective effect. Light and shadow effect. There is no shadow, andthe depth of the wrinkle seems to be diminishing. Washed away - the result is as it was. It 's the same as gelatin. They applied it, it filled the wrinkles, washed it off - that's it. to say: an artistic effect is achieved - not a medical one. If we talk about the therapeutic function, then, instead, the same banana will help. "
You can and should take care of yourself. Home care products contain vitamins and minerals and, in fact, can have a temporary but visible effect. The main thing is to make sure that there are no allergic reactions and determine your skin type properly, and for this you are advised to visit the beauty office first.
