We dream of staying young and beautiful as long as possible.This natural aging process does not suit us.Those who are especially sensitive to their image in the mirror seek salvation in beauty salons or even surrender to the power of plastic surgeons.The goal of this publication is to talk about rejuvenating facial skin with your own hands, at home.What can we do ourselves first?
Know the enemy by sight.
Why do we age and change our appearance?Why do some people look much younger than others without the help of plastic surgeons?To develop our own rejuvenation strategy it is very important that we know this.
Imagine that we start aging at 18 years old!Our skin cannot remain forever young and not age.This process is inevitable.And we have to accept this.
First of all, excess skin forms in the eye area, small, barely noticeable facial wrinkles in the corners of the eyes;The outer corners of the eyebrows and nasolabial folds are lowered.This happens before the age of 30.
When you are over 40 years old, the main signs of facial skin aging become stronger and new ones are added: the eyelids become heavier, the skin on the chin becomes flaccid, the cheeks sink and large wrinkles appear between the eyebrows.
At the age of 50, our cheeks almost merge with the chin due to sagging.And oh, horror! The face loses its clear contours!Sometimes the tip of the nose becomes longer.
At the age of 60, obvious changes are observed, the skin becomes thinner and drier, which causes the formation of deep wrinkles.
There are several types of facial aging in women:
- A tired face is manifested by a decrease in skin elasticity.In the morning, after a good night's sleep, he appears rested and fresh, but at night he takes on a distinctly senile expression.This aging is typical of oily or combination skin.The cause may be frequent stress, smoking, fatigue and lack of sleep.
- A wrinkled face is characteristic of thin and sensitive skin.Small wrinkles cover the entire surface with a mesh.Causes: frequent and prolonged exposure to the sun, dry skin.
- Gravitatis type affects obese women with marked facial features.Due to excess subcutaneous fat, wrinkles practically do not appear, but over time, thick, sagging folds form.Reasons: excess weight, concomitant diseases, oily skin.
- The combined appearance refers to premature facial aging.In this case, various signs of various types appear.There are wrinkles, decreased skin elasticity and sagging cheeks.They are caused by a large amount of free radicals in the body and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays.
- The least noticeable signs of aging are found on the face with skin that has a small layer of subcutaneous tissue: this is muscle aging.First, wrinkles form near the eyes (crow's feet), then fatty folds over the upper eyelids and pronounced nasolabial folds begin to fall.There is only one reason: age.
Despite the different morphotypes of aging, its causes are common to all.There is premature and natural aging of the integument.The second occurs gradually, according to a program of biological transformation of the cells.

- circulatory disorders;

- stress;
- lack of vitamins and microelements;
