Over the years, the skin loses its firmness, its elasticity, wrinkles and wrinkles appear. Fair sex tries to do everything to delay the appearance of visible signs of aging. It is a pity that sometimes even the regular use of expensive cosmetics does not give the expected, lasting result. Why is this happening?
What causes rapid skin aging?
Many factors affect the condition of the skin. Namely:
- unbalanced diet, such as fried, salty, smoked, sweet foods.
- dry indoor air during the heating season.
- Negative environmental factors: wind, dust, frost, exhaust fumes, sunlight, etc.
- inadequate skin care or its complete absence.
- lack of vitamins and minerals
- stress and nervous disorders
- taking some medications.
Let's try to understand what needs to change in life, what habits to get rid of and what to acquire in order to maintain the smoothness and beauty of the skin as much as possible.
Healthy lifestyle
No matter how loud it sounds, but first of all, you need to give up bad habits. Smoking and alcohol certainly do not promote health and any problems with the body directly affect the condition of the skin. It becomes dehydrated and looks dull and brittle.
Be careful how much water you drink. Coffee, tea, sugary drinks and even fresh juices will not replace regular water. You should drink at least 1. 5 liters a day. The amount depends on body weight.
Try not to overeat: get up from the table when there is still a slight feeling of hunger. This is especially true for an evening meal.
Sleep enough. In sleep, the skin is renewed, so the more we sleep, the more beautiful it becomes. Before going to bed, try to think only of the good, to dream and in no case to try to explore unsolved problems. Calmness and quietness should be your faithful companions before you go to bed. Remember that regular lack of sleep will manifest very soon in a reduction of the skin tone of the face and the whole body.
Walk in the fresh air as often as possible. At every opportunity, get out of the city, into nature - it will definitely benefit. You will return home with a healthy blush and glow in your eyes.
Facial massage and gymnastics
Facial massage and exercise work wonders. With regular use of these methods, the skin is transformed in a few weeks. The fact is that during the treatment sessions, blood circulation and metabolic processes are accelerated. Skin cells receive more nutrients.
Light massage can be done at home. Pepper at the beginning of the process, clean your face and wash your hands with soap. With gentle touches on your fingers, strictly follow the massage lines, pressing lightly on the skin. Your movements should look like pressing. The massage will be more effective if you apply serum or treat your face with ice from green tea before that.
After about a week, the skin will transform, become more elastic and even. Massage also helps to treat swelling.
Creams, serums, lotions for skin care
We can safely say that cosmetics are one of the most popular ways to transform facial skin. It's easy to explain this: I bought the coveted jar and used it for your health. But such funds do not always give the expected result. Women are buying more and more products, including those in skin care, but problems remain. In this case, you should contact a beautician who will help you choose a care system. But only some of the fair sex decide to do that.
If you have the time and desire to create anti-aging products with your own hands, then it is better to start with simple recipes. We offer one of them. Measure each teaspoon of cocoa butter dessert and seafood butter. Mix and add 3-4 drops of oily solution of vitamins A and E. Apply the cream immediately after cleansing on damp skin. For maximum effectiveness, cover your face with cellophane or parchment. After about 15-20 minutes, the product residue should be removed with a paper towel.
You can replace this cream with industrial. And be sure to monitor the reaction of the skin, as even completely natural products are not suitable for everyone. They also have an allergic reaction.
