Pharmacy helps in the fight for young people
You do not need to prepare products to protect and restore the youth of the facial skin, you can buy some pharmacy ointments or creams:
- retinoic ointment;
- solcoseryl ointment;
- anti-aging face cream (various brands).
Retinoic ointment is an excellent antibacterial agent for various skin imperfections: acne, rashes, redness, which appear stronger on the skin with age and last longer. Any remedy against defects should be applied to them in a spotless way, this ointment is no exception. Clean and healthy skin looks younger and more beautiful, so it is necessary to eliminate unpleasant manifestations.
Solcoseryl ointment - a drug to improve the penetration of oxygen into the tissues. With age, the pores of the skin pass this gas into the epithelium worse, which gradually affects its condition: it dries, swells, loses tissue tone, looks dull. Solcoseryl is applied to the entire face in a thin layer, gently rubbed into 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 tool and has truly unbelievable effects: it smoothes deep wrinkles, tightens the skin and so on. Almost all cosmetic companies produce a range of creams for aging skin, promising a rejuvenating effect. But it is important to understand that this is only part of the truth. Age-related facial cosmetics can actually correct small wrinkles or unpleasant imperfections, but no product can nourish the skin with collagen and cope with the deeper layers of the skin.
Such creams nourish, enrich with vitamins and minerals, but do not create any "magic". They can be used in conjunction with other procedures, and when choosing, you need to pay attention to the specified age.
General recommendations
It is not enough to rub something on the skin and hope for a miracle! You need to change your lifestyle:

- Set a sleep schedule
- to work;
- find optimal cosmetic treatments (massages, masks, peels);
- reduce stress.

Exercise helps the skin to breathe, enriches it with oxygen, which makes the face fresher, smoothes facial wrinkles and removes subcutaneous deposits.
