How to rejuvenate your face: starting with the main thing
The best fight is prevention. Therefore, the first thing we start our way to rejuvenation is to remove the provoking factors:
- Unbalanced diet. The habit of eating fast food, leaning on fatty, fried, sweets and convenience foods is the first step to aging. Or the downside, when, in pursuit of quick weight loss, they sit down on tough low-fat hunger diets.
- Habitual intoxication. Alcohol and nicotine poison, provoke both internal and external senility. And in smokers, the area around the lips, eyes and neck is especially affected.
- An abundance of ultraviolet light. Tanning is beautiful, but there should be a measure. Ultraviolet light dries up the skin and accelerates the aging process.
- Frequent stress, lack of sleep. From overload, the body wears out and ages. You've probably noticed how people add dramatically in years after strong experiences and overloads.
- Too active facial expressions, the habit of frowning, wrinkling the forehead. Even young girls suffer from this, and at 55-60 years old, deep mimic folds can no longer be smoothed out at home. Therefore, you need to learn to control facial expressions until the age of 20-30, while the skin is still amenable to restoration.
- Improper skin care. Firstly, it is low-quality decorative and care cosmetics. Secondly, aggressive touching to the face when you apply makeup and cream on it or wash your face not with light movements along the massage lines, but anyhow. Thirdly, applying the cream before going outside in winter (or not applying in summer).
- Neglecting sports and exercising for the face. A sedentary lifestyle slows down your metabolism. Toxins are removed more slowly, blood circulation in the skin becomes worse, and oxygen saturation of cells is also lame. Flabby muscles sag faster and stretch the skin, which makes tissue nutrition and the elimination of toxins from them even slower.
If you regularly visit a beautician, but at the same time accelerate aging yourself (smoke like a locomotive, for example, or are physically inactive), the results will be either short-term or not at all
Target at gunpoint: defining the ways to fight
How does old age come? Degenerative processes in the skin are triggered when the "three whales" of skin tone and health begin to work with disorders: blood circulation, lymphatic system and nerve conduction.
- Vascular problems - nutrients do not go well into the muscles and skin of the face;
- Lymph is poorly excreted - toxins stagnate in the skin and poison them;
- Nerve conduction is impaired - muscles spasm and wear out quickly.
You've probably noticed that everyone ages at different rates and intensities. Someone notices the first wrinkles at the age of 40, and to someone the early precursors of aging come before the age of 30 - 35. It's about the type of appearance and constitution.
There is no such remedy that rejuvenates for 20 years at once. But you can help yourself - make the "three whales" properly perform their functions.
How we do it:
- We perform modeling exercises for the face and neck, which tightens the muscles and skin: it causes blood flow to the tissues, improves the outflow of lymph and restores the conduction of nerve impulses.
- We use anti-aging cosmetics that deeply nourish the skin: serums, anti-aging masks and creams. All this can be done at home by yourself. More on this later.
- Do not forget about procedures that improve tissue nutrition: rejuvenating massage, steam bath and sauna, warm herbal compresses, walks in the fresh air, washing with cool water.
- We eat right. For health and youth, our skin needs the right fats, protein, vitamins A, E, carotene and trace elements. And, of course, water. Fast carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, dyes and flavor enhancers - into the firebox.
- We do not kill youth with lack of sleep, stress, poisons, active tanning, strict diets and heavy makeup.
These are the main directions. Now about the reanimation measures themselves. I will not advertise store products, but I will walk through how you can rejuvenate your facial skin with home cosmetics.
Oils
Anti-aging oils are considered grape seed oil, olive, rose, orange, carrot seed and wheat germ oils, sandalwood, jasmine, chamomile, jojoba oil. They tone the skin, relieve spasms, moisturize, even tone the face, remove age-related pigmentation.
Oils are added to masks, compresses, scrubs, applications, creams, tonics for removing make-up, applied pointwise to problem areas.
Here are a couple of interesting recipes with oils:
- Anti-wrinkle applications around the eyes. Mix 2-3 drops of any three anti-aging oils, moisten 2 cotton pads abundantly, put them on closed eyelids, wait 15-20 minutes. We do it 1-2 times a week. After 50 years, you can at least every day.
- Mask for oily skin rejuvenation. We steam the skin with a compress: we make a decoction of herbs or brew tea, cool it slightly, dip a gauze napkin in it and leave it on the face for 10 minutes. Then we mix 3 drops of rose oil and 1 tsp. any base oil (olive, coconut or wheat germ oil). With light taps, apply to the skin along the massage lines. After 15 minutes, blot the leftovers with a napkin.
- Rejuvenating mask for dry skin. 3-5 drops of chamomile, jasmine and grape oils are mixed. It is also applied to the skin steamed with a herbal compress for 15 minutes.
Masks are ideal in the bath when the skin is steamed and is maximally receptive. Or you can simply add 2 drops of any three anti-aging oils to your usual cream.
Edible helpers
It's good when you have a summer cottage - berries, vegetables and fruits, honey, eggs and dairy products are useful not only inside. Tired of eating - smear it on your face, there will be benefits everywhere.
What is anti-aging:
- Cucumber. This is a classic - our grandmothers also wiped cucumber off their face with their "ass" when they were preparing a salad. You can make standard cucumber "masks", covering the whole face with cucumber slices. Or you can rub it and add anti-aging oil to the gruel.
- Berries. Take raspberries and strawberries, crush with a fork and mix with sour cream and sugar. The scrub brightens, tightens, causes blood flow to the skin, removes dead cells. And it smells like! It's hard not to eat.
- Potatoes. We make mashed potatoes from boiled unsalted potatoes and apply on face for 15 minutes. You can add sour cream or milk.
- Citruses. If you do not have allergies, you can add lemon or orange juice to the masks - it brightens and tones, causes blood flow.
- Proteins. A mixture of kefir and honey, 1 tbsp. l. and 1 egg white, beat and hold on the face for 15 minutes. You can replace kefir with live yeast, and you get a yeast mask.
You can periodically apply oily sour cream to your face if you have dry or normal skin. All ingredients are perfectly combined with each other - create as your fantasy tells you.
Outcome
Anti-aging cosmetics (both homemade and purchased), like procedures at a beautician, do not solve the very essence of aging, but mask the symptoms. Therefore, how to rejuvenate your face is to combine self-care with rejuvenating gymnastics.
