Age-related changes in the skin are an unpleasant process, but it is quite natural. Hairdressing treatments and regular home care help to combat them.
Every woman wants to keep her skin youthful for years to come. But time takes its toll and inevitably leaves a mark on the face - wrinkles. Some take their appearance quite calmly, considering it an integral part of life, others do not intend to cope with the injustice of nature and fight the hated "enemy" by all available means.
I must say that even Hollywood stars, who, by the nature of their work, are obliged to look their best at any age, do not always resort to the services of plastic surgeons. Living examples of this are the wonderfulMeryl Streep, star of "Titanic"Kate Winslet, beauty in the worldJulia Robertsextremely talentedJodi FosterandJulianne Moore. . . All these beautiful women look beautiful and remain the same. Each of their wrinkles is another, not even played, but lived a role of which they are rightly proud.
However, this is no reason to relax and stop. "And so she will" - this is not a story about female beauty. Everyone who achieves, as they say, aging beautifully, undoubtedly devotes a lot of time to self-care, visits cosmetologists regularly and takes care of their skin at home.
This is the home care that today we decided to talk to a specialist - a cosmetologist in the centers of aesthetic medicine and cosmetology.
Where do wrinkles come from?
There are two main types of wrinkles: imitation (dynamic) and static. The first, as the name implies, is formed due to the fact that our face is in constant motion, even if we ourselves do not know it. Everyone frowns from time to time, we laugh, we smile, we wrinkle our noses, weep.
Over time, due to certain factors, such as age, dry skin, loss of elasticity, there is a change in structure and then we have to talk about the appearance of static wrinkles that do not disappear anywhere and are visible even incalm state. The problem is faced not only by the elderly, but also quite young - after 35 years, and even earlier.
Deep wrinkles in the area of the nasolabial triangle, cheeks, chin can be the result of gravitational fall, that is, relaxation of the oval of the face. The quality of the skin, and therefore the severity of wrinkles, can be affected by genetics, poor ecology, bad habits, stress, inadequate care, constant exposure to sunlight and other adverse external factors.
The cosmetologist explains that if the mimicry activity of a particular woman is very high, it is better to immediately seek the advice of a cosmetologist and resolve the issue with the help of botulism injections. At the same time, you do not need to be afraid of side effects - a specialist will perform a thorough examination and tell you in detail about the indications and contraindications of the procedure. This cosmetic technique helps to relax the muscles, without depriving them of activity. Thus, the doctor manages to simultaneously fight the intense mimic wrinkles and avoid the unwanted effect of the mask.
If we are talking about static wrinkles, then the ways to deal with them also require a mandatory discussion with a specialist. The expert explains that the presence of raw creases implies the mandatory work of a dermatocosmeter
Wrinkle control at home
Hairdressing procedures, of course, are very effective, and the importance of professional care can hardly be overstated, but not everyone has the opportunity and time to use the services of cosmetology clinics on an ongoing basis. In this case, home care products come to the rescue.
"What is the best home care advice? "The patches work well (a cosmetic product for the skin around the eyes in the form of a compress-patch impregnated with special compounds, for example, Baikal skullcap extract, anti-edematous ingredients): stuck, furious - there is an effect. Removed - to no avail. Any moisturizing mask is good, but only about two hours before bed. Now there are many, such as woven masks, that give a good but temporary effect. Say they will solve the problem? No I will not. "But any home care is wonderful, " he said.
Using anti-wrinkle masks at home can be very effective. Internet users are eager to share simple but effective recipes. We collected the best and, judging by the rave comments, the most effective and asked the expert for their comments on this topic.
Great! An allergy test must be performed before using any new cosmetic product! The doctor told how to do it right:
"The most sensitive area is the area behind the ear. But you will not see what is happening there. You may feel tingling, tingling or scratching, but you will not see any skin reactions. This test method is suitable for the beautician, but is not very suitable for self-testing. Therefore, the inner surface of the hand is used for self-control. The lower third of the forearm, where we wear the watch, is the most sensitive and most suitable belt for this purpose. "
Banana anti-wrinkle face mask
Our expert welcomes the use of the pulp of this sweet fruit as a home care product:
"The banana is very good. It contains amino acids and vitamin K ".
The beautician suggests fermenting the fruit in a liquid state and adding honey if there is no allergy to it. If your skin is very dry, you can mix banana puree with sour cream. It is quite acceptable to use such a composition as a homemade eye mask for wrinkles.
"You can, as you did before, fold it in gauze and put it in your eyes for about 20 minutes, " advises the expert. - It really works. But not for long. "
This product perfectly moisturizes the skin and gives the face a fresh, relaxed look.
Anti-wrinkle starch face mask
Women who have tried the effect of this supposedly miraculous mask claim that it can soothe not only mimics wrinkles, but also deep static wrinkles at home, and compare its effect to almost botulism toxin. Starch is indeed a valuable product that contains vitamins B, C, as well as calcium, iron, phosphorus and potassium. Cosmetic products based on it give a short-term, but fast and visible lifting effect.
So, for cooking we need: a tablespoon of starch, 150 ml of water, a tablespoon of greasy sour cream and the same amount of honey. Mix the starch well with 100 ml of cold water, add 50 ml of hot water and cook until it thickens, without letting it boil. Cool and combine with the remaining ingredients. Apply to previously cleansed face and neck skin. Rinse with warm water after 20-30 minutes and enjoy the reflection in the mirror.
An even better result will be given by the starch in combination with the egg white. This composition has cleansing properties and is ideal for oily skin. Mix a tablespoon of starch with warm water until soft and then add a protein. Leave it on for half an hour and rinse.
Anti-wrinkle face mask with yeast
It turns out that yeast can be used not only in cooking, but also as an ingredient in anti-aging masks, as it has been shown that yeast can produce collagen when it enters the pores.
Dilute a tablespoon of yeast with warm milk in a ratio of 1: 1, let it cook for at least an hour. Then add a protein and a tablespoon of honey to the composition, mix and apply on face. Keep it for 15 minutes and then rinse.
Great! Before use, be sure to perform an allergy test!
Anti-wrinkle gelatin mask
First of all, the base is being prepared. For this, one tablespoon is poured with two tablespoons of water at room temperature. The mixture swells within a few minutes, after which it is placed in a water bath until it dissolves completely. Various additional ingredients are added to the frozen mixture depending on the desired result.
"Gelatin is used more as a filler. There are such means - concealer, - explained the beautician. - They contain silicones that fill the wrinkle and create a reflective effect. Light and shadow effects. There is no shadow and the depth of the wrinkle seems to decrease. Washable - the result is the same as it was. It is the same as gelatin. They applied it, filled the wrinkle, washed it - that's it. Let's just say: an artistic result is achieved - not a therapeutic one. If we talk about the healing function, then, the same banana will help. "
You can and should take care of yourself. Home care products contain vitamins and minerals and, indeed, can have a temporary but visible effect. The main thing is to make sure that there are no allergic reactions and to correctly determine your skin type and that is why it is recommended to visit the beautician's office first.
