Over the years, the skin loses its firmness, elasticity appears, wrinkles and creases appear. The fair sex is trying to do everything to delay the appearance of visible signs of aging. It is unfortunate that sometimes even the regular use of expensive cosmetics does not give the expected, lasting effect. Why is this happening?
What causes rapid skin aging?
Many factors affect the condition of the skin. Namely:
- unbalanced diet, including fried, salty, smoked, sweet foods;
- dry indoor air during the heating season;
- negative environmental factors: wind, dust, frost, exhaust gases, sunlight, etc.
- inadequate skin care or its complete absence;
- lack of vitamins and minerals;
- stress and nervous disorders;
- taking some medication.
Let’s try to understand what needs to be changed in life, what habits to get rid of and what to gain in order to maintain the softness and beauty of the skin for as long as possible.
Healthy lifestyle
No matter how common it sounds, but first of all, you need to give up bad habits. Smoking and alcohol definitely do not promote health, and any problem with the body immediately affects the condition of the skin. He becomes dehydrated and looks dull and soft.
Be sure to pay attention to how much clean water you drink. Coffee, tea, sugary drinks and even freshly squeezed 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.
Get enough sleep. In sleep, the skin renews itself, so the more we sleep, the more beautiful we become. Before you fall asleep, try to think only of the good, dream and in no case try to dive into unresolved problems. Peace and quiet should be your faithful companions before you go to bed. Remember that regular lack of sleep will very soon appear in the reduction of skin tone of the face and the whole body.
Walk in the fresh air as often as possible. In any case, get out of town, in nature - it will definitely benefit. You will return home with a healthy blush and glow in your eyes.
Facial massage and aerobics
Facial massage and gymnastics work wonders. With regular use of these methods, the skin turns in a few weeks. The fact is that during healing sessions, blood circulation and metabolic processes are accelerated. Skin cells receive more nutrients.
Gentle massage can be done at home. Pepper at the beginning of the procedure, clean the face and wash your hands with soap. With a gentle touch of your fingertips, follow the massage lines strictly, lightly pressing on the skin. Your movements should resemble tapping. The massage will be more effective if you put serum or when you treat your face with ice cubes made from green tea in front of it.
After about a week, the skin will transform, become more elastic and even. Also, massage helps to cope with swelling.
Creams, serums, lotions for skin care
We can say with certainty that cosmetic products are one of the most popular ways to transform facial skin. Easy easy to explain this: I bought the coveted jar and use it for your health. But such funds do not always give the expected effect. Women are increasingly buying products, including those in skin care, but problems remain. In this case, you should contact an esthetician who will help you choose a care system. But only a few of the fair sex decide to do so.
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.
