Pharmacy assistance in the fight for youth
It is not necessary to prepare tools for preserving and restoring the youth of facial skin; you can buy some ointments or creams at the pharmacy:
- retinal ointment;
- solcoseryl ointment;
- anti-aging face cream (various brands).
Retinoic ointment is an excellent antibacterial agent for various skin defects: acne, pimples, rashes, which appear stronger on the skin with age and last longer. Any remedy against defects should be applied with drops on them, this ointment is no exception. Clean and healthy skin looks much younger and more beautiful, so you need to eliminate unpleasant manifestations.
Solcoseryl ointment - a medicine to improve the penetration of oxygen into the tissues. With age, the pores of the skin pass this gas to the epithelium worse, which gradually affects its condition: it becomes dry, smooth, the tissues lose their tone, look sluggish. Solcoseryl is applied all over the face with a thin layer, rubbing it gently on the face. Also, for people with sensitive skin, it is allowed to "dilute" the ointment with a nourishing or moisturizing cream.
Anti-aging cream is an equally popular and widely advertised medicine, which is valued with truly unimaginable effects: smoothing deep wrinkles, tightening the skin, etc. Almost all cosmetic companies produce a range of creams for aging skin, promising a rejuvenating effect. But it must be understood that this is only part of the truth. Age-related face cosmetics can really soften small wrinkles or soften unpleasant blemishes, but no product can nourish the skin with collagen and withstand deep skin folds.
Such creams nourish, replenish the supply of vitamins and minerals, but do not create any "magic". They can be used in combination with other procedures, and when choosing, you should focus on the specified age.
General recommendations
It is not enough to just smear something on the skin and hope for a miracle! You need to change your lifestyle:
- review the menu
- make a sleep schedule
- exercise;
- find optimal cosmetic therapy (massages, masks, peels);
- reduce stress.
The menu of people who want to renew themselves should contain natural products: vegetables (green and legumes), fruits (citrus), nuts and dried fruits, dairy products (except butter), oils of plant origin. The first and fourth group contain proteins and B vitamins necessary for the body, the second - antioxidant vitamin C, the third and last contain a lot of E, which is called "youth vitamin". You can also buy a complex of vitamins and minerals for a certain age.
You should sleep at least 8 hours, as all the defects of lack of sleep are visible on tired skin, and the bags under the eyes in adult women disappear much longer than in young women.
Sports loads make the skin breathe, enrich it with oxygen, which makes the face fresher, softens mimic wrinkles and removes excess subcutaneous deposits.
It is also necessary to contact an esthetician because it is quite difficult to do a massage or occupational therapy for yourself.
