Over the years, the skin loses its firmness, elasticity, wrinkles and creases appear. Fair sex tries to do everything possible to delay the appearance of visible signs of aging. Sometimes it is a shame that regular use of expensive cosmetics does not have such an expected, lasting effect. Why does this happen?
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 or complete lack of skin care;
- vitamin and mineral deficiency;
- stress and nervous disorders;
- to take some medications.
To maintain the smoothness and beauty of your skin for as long as possible, try to learn what to change in life, what habits to get rid of and what to achieve.
Healthy lifestyle
No matter how sensitive it may sound, you must first give up bad habits. Smoking and alcohol do not promote health at all, and any problem in the body immediately affects the condition of the skin. Dehydrated and looks dull and restrained.
Pay attention to how much clean water you drink. Coffee, tea, sugary drinks and even freshly squeezed juices cannot replace ordinary 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 you feel a slight hunger. This is especially true for dinner.
Get enough sleep. In sleep, the skin renews itself, so the more we sleep, the more beautiful we become. Before going to sleep, try to think only of good things, dream and try to immerse yourself in unresolved problems. Peace and quiet should be your faithful companions before going to bed. Keep in mind that regular sleep deprivation will soon manifest itself with a decrease in facial skin and body tone.
Walk in the fresh air as often as possible. Get out of the city and nature at every opportunity - it will definitely benefit. You will return home with a healthy blush and sparkle in your eyes.
Facial massage and gymnastics
Facial massage and gymnastics work wonders. With regular use of these methods, the skin changes over several weeks. The fact is that during the healing process, blood circulation and metabolic processes are accelerated. Skin cells receive more nutrients.
A light massage can be done at home. Pepper at the beginning of the procedure, clean your face and wash your hands with soap. Gently massage the lines into the skin with gentle touches with your fingertips. Your actions should be like touching. The massage will be more effective if you take a serum or treat your face with ice cubes made of green tea before that.
After about a week, the skin will become more elastic and even. In addition, massage helps to cope with swelling.
Skin care creams, serums, lotions
We can say with confidence that cosmetics are one of the most popular ways to transform the skin. It's easy to explain: I buy a coveted jar and use it for your health. However, such funds do not always have the expected effect. Women are getting more and more products, including skin care, but problems remain. In this case, you should consult a cosmetologist who will help you choose a care system. But only the fairer 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.
