Every woman wants to always be young and beautiful.But over time, youth fades, the first signs of aging appear, followed by deeper wrinkles.The beauty industry offers a large number of care products, cosmetic procedures and vitamins to nourish the skin.But to find natural, effective and cheap lifting products, we turn to folk recipes and self-prevention methods.
Cause of wrinkles
It is impossible to get rid of wrinkles completely, but you can slow down skin aging.And doing this is easier than smoothing out wrinkles that have appeared.Wrinkles and their early appearance are not only cosmetic defects, but also indicators of problems in the body.It is important to take a comprehensive approach to their prevention and elimination, because the cause of aging does not always lie in the characteristics of the skin.The following factors can trigger the appearance of wrinkles and premature aging of the skin:
- Excessive weight and sudden weight loss: Under the pressure of excessive fat, the skin sags, the facial muscles weaken, and with a sudden weight loss, the oval of the face does not have time to tighten itself according to the new shape;
- Bad habits: Alcohol and smoking lead to dehydration of the skin and inhibit metabolic processes, while the elasticity of the skin weakens and the skin deteriorates;
- Unhealthy lifestyle: unbalanced diet, stress, lack of physical activity and proper rest wear the body, which cannot but affect the condition of the skin;
- Use of low-quality cosmetics: Cosmetics may contain low-quality or critical synthetic components that will not benefit your face;
- Unfavorable ecology: The skin absorbs harmful substances contained in the air, is exposed to an aggressive environment (frost and sunlight), and as a result of all this becomes dry;
- Health problems: Wrinkles can only be symptoms of more serious diseases and hormonal disorders;
- Genetic Predisposition: To know what awaits your face in the future, look at the faces of older relatives;
- Facial structure: improper bite, weak chin can cause wrinkles.
Lifting Care Features
A set of anti-aging procedures should not be common to all representatives of the fair sex.Cosmetic care depends on the specific age, skin type and type of wrinkles to be treated.
There are two main types of wrinkles:
- imitative (or dynamic) - appears in our lives first;Everyone has their own way of expressing emotions on their face, and facial wrinkles appear in areas of active contraction of facial muscles;
- Static (related to age, gravity) - someone finds they are grown up;Such wrinkles appear regardless of facial features: skin age, reduced collagen production, loss of elasticity, and ovality.Under the influence of gravity, loose skin tends down and facial ptosis occurs.
The first wrinkles, caused by active facial expressions or insufficient care, can appear as early as 25 years.
Ways to combat wrinkles depend on age
Those with dry skin should be especially concerned about the appearance of premature wrinkles.Dehydration is one of the reasons for the appearance of the first wrinkles, which will be difficult to launch in the future.However, oily and normal skin also needs appropriate care, plus thorough cleansing.
Throughout our life, our face goes through several changes, as a result of which wrinkles of different depth appear on it:
- First, we are dealing with superficial wrinkles - a thin mesh that affects the upper layer of the skin.They appear at the age of 25-30 years, so prevention should start as early as possible.At this time, it is important to provide the skin with adequate nutrition, avoid stress, bad habits, and maintain sleep and wakefulness.A network of superficial wrinkles can be removed by peeling, relaxing facial massage and moisturizing cosmetics.
- Superficial wrinkles can later develop into deep wrinkles, which are caused by impaired collagen production, at the age of 40-55 years.During this period, the process of collagen synthesis, the main substance responsible for skin elasticity, slows down.The skin begins to lose elasticity.At this stage, it is important to combine a healthy lifestyle with careful care: cleaning your face, using moisturizers and lifting products.
- In addition to the epidermal layer, subcutaneous fat tissue takes part in the formation of deep wrinkles.The extent to which the wrinkles appear depends on environmental conditions, care and genetic predisposition.Over time, the quality of the skin begins to deteriorate, and the oval begins to sag.Usually, this defect appears at the age of 55-65 years.Products designed to provide dehydrated skin with nutrients and collagen do not penetrate the deeper layers of the dermis and are therefore not as effective.Therefore, to all the procedures already used, it is worth adding massage, facial gymnastics and special devices for rejuvenation.
Each age has the most effective care.But when you cross a certain age, you cannot abandon all previous cosmetic procedures - add new ones to them, and an integrated approach will lead to better results.
General recommendations for preserving youth
Over time, the skin fades, so our task is to delay the onset of this unpleasant phenomenon.Recommendations for prolonging youth are similar to tips for maintaining health in general:
- eat moderately and balanced;
- play sports;
- drink enough water (at least 1.5 liters a day);
- enough sleep (sleep should last at least 6 hours);
- Eliminate cigarettes and alcohol from your life.
To maintain radiant skin and a toned face, cleansing, nourishing, tightening products and procedures are also required.
To protect your face from the appearance of a double chin, choose a comfortable orthopedic pillow for sleeping, do not read while lying down and watch your posture.A low bowed head causes the formation of skin folds, which will later become a cosmetic defect.
Anti-aging care at home
Home cosmetology procedures can involve both the use of ready-made (bought) products, and natural natural approaches, with handmade creams and masks.You should not choose one thing, absolutely reject the other, because both of these directions are good in the fight for youth.

Rejuvenation with achatina snails at the age of 25-50 years
There is a rather exotic method of facial rejuvenation for the bravest and most squeamish - using snail slime.During the procedure, achatina snails are placed on the face, which, slowly moving over the skin, exfoliate, massage and leave a trail of mucus.The secretions secreted by molluscs have a major rejuvenating function.
Achatina snail mucus contains:
- Allantoin, which regenerates the skin and fights radicals;
- a natural solar filter that protects against harmful UV rays;
- Vitamins A, C, E, soften, moisturize and nourish the skin;
- glycolic acid, which removes dead cells;
- natural elastin, which increases skin turgor;
- Natural collagen, stimulates your own collagen synthesis and improves skin elasticity.
In the salon, the Achatina rejuvenation procedure is quite expensive.But snails can be bought and grown at home.They need an aquarium with a volume of at least 10 liters with soil at the bottom, which must be changed periodically.Baby mollusks are fed 1-2 times a day, adults - several times a week.Snails eat cucumbers, zucchini, cabbage leaves, and apples.
Before the massage, the skin must be cleaned, then take a horizontal position and carefully place the mollusk on the face.Massage sessions take from 30 minutes to 1 hour.At the end of the procedure, the snail is returned to the aquarium, and the mucus is left on the face for another 15 minutes, then washed off with water.After this, use a moisturizer.Contraindication to the procedure is individual intolerance to snail mucus (allergy).
Snail easily overcomes small wrinkles, smoothes medium and deep wrinkles and prevents the appearance of new cosmetic defects, so the procedure is useful for young and more mature women.
Do not confuse snail massage with hirudotherapy, which is also used in anti-aging cosmetology.In any case you should work with leeches yourself.This procedure is only carried out by qualified specialists.
Massage and gymnastics for wrinkles at the age of 35-55 years
Unfortunately, wrinkles not only affect the surface of the skin, but also deform the deeper layers of the dermis.Therefore, an effective fight against the average wrinkle at the age of 35-50 is the effect on skin folds from the inside, because nutrients from masks and creams practically do not penetrate the skin.
Facial massage and gymnastics improve blood circulation and improve metabolic processes in the epidermis.Thanks to this, the skin cells are saturated with oxygen, the facial muscles are tightened, and oval sagging disappears.
General recommendations for doing gymnastics or facial massage:
- First carefully study the correct massage technique and facial massage lines to avoid unpleasant consequences;
- This procedure must be carried out using oil or cream (but not on dry skin);
- A classic massage begins with light stroking the skin in the direction of the massage line;
- After "warming up" the face, you should move to gentle pressure on the skin;You need to complete the procedure by tapping your fingertips on your face.
Before performing facial gymnastics, it is better to consult a cosmetologist, because uncreated actions can provoke the appearance of new facial wrinkles.
Hardware cosmetology at the age of 45-60 years
The most effective treatment for deep and deep wrinkles is the use of special cosmetic devices.Their action also extends to the inner layer of the dermis, which provides a significant positive effect.Devices are distinguished by the type of effect on the skin.
Contraindications to the use of the device are inflammation and skin lesions, neoplasms in the affected area, blood clotting disorders, flu, sinusitis, infectious diseases, gold and platinum reinforcement, pregnancy.
