Over the years, the skin loses its firmness, elasticity, wrinkles and folds appear. The fair sex try to do everything possible to delay the manifestation of visible signs of aging. It is a shame that sometimes even regular use of expensive cosmetics does not give the expected, lasting effect. Why is this happening?
What triggers rapid aging of the skin?
Many factors affect the condition of the skin. Exactly:
- unbalanced diet, including fried, salty, smoked, sweet foods;
- dry indoor air during the heating season
- negative environmental factors: wind, dust, frost, exhaust gases, sun rays and so on;
- inadequate skin care or its complete absence
- lack of vitamins and minerals
- stress and nerve diseases
- taking some medications.
Let’s try to figure out what needs to change in life, what habits we need to get rid of, and which ones need to be acquired to maintain smoothness and beauty in the skin for as long as possible.
Healthy lifestyle
No matter how banal it sounds, but first and foremost, give up bad habits. Smoking and alcohol certainly do not promote health, and any problems with the body immediately affect the condition of the skin. He gets dehydrated and looks dull and relaxed.
Be sure to pay attention to how much clean water you drink. Coffee, tea, sugary drinks and even freshly squeezed juices do not replace plain water. You should drink at least 1, 5 liters a day. The amount depends on the body weight.
Try not to overeat: get up from the table when there is still a faint feeling of hunger. This is especially true for an evening meal.
Get enough sleep. In sleep, the skin is renewed, so the more we sleep, the more beautiful we become. Before falling asleep, think only of the good, dreams and under no circumstances try to dive into unsolved problems. Peace and quiet must be your faithful companions before you go to bed. Remember that regular lack of sleep will very soon manifest itself in a decrease in the tone of the skin of the face and whole body.
Walk in the fresh air as often as possible. Go out of town, out into nature at every opportunity - it will definitely benefit. You return home with a healthy blush and sparkles in your eyes.
Facial massage and gymnastics
Facial massage and gymnastics do wonders. With regular use of these methods, the skin is transformed in a few weeks. The fact is that blood circulation and metabolic processes are accelerated during healing. Skin cells receive more nutrients.
Light massage can be done at home. Pepper At the beginning of the procedure, cleanse your face and wash your hands with soap. Follow gentle fingertips by following the massage lines carefully and pressing lightly on the skin. Your movements should look like tapping. The massage will be more effective if you apply serum or treat your face with ice cubes made from green tea before that.
After about a week, the skin will be transformed, it becomes more elastic and smooth. Massage also helps to cope with swelling.
Creams, serums, lotions for skin care
We can say with certainty that cosmetics are one of the most popular ways to transform facial skin. This is easy to explain: I bought the coveted jar and use it for your health. However, such funds do not always have the expected effect. Women are buying more and more products, including those in skin care, but there are still problems.
