Aging skin problems: what you need to deal with
Cosmetologists are sure that the skin aging process begins at the age of 25. The initial signs are not very noticeable. Gradually, the epidermis loses its elasticity, loses its ability to retain moisture, after a night of adequate sleep, the skin does not have time to recover. Every year cosmetics are getting stronger and stronger, requiring salon treatments. At the age of 40, the problem became more and more obvious, and it became more and more difficult to cover defects with makeup. The main signs of aging include:
- changes in the density of the epidermis;
- increased dryness, noticeable flaking;
- Enlarge pores and reduce unevenness;
- uneven skin pigmentation;
- earthy complexion;
- swelling, especially noticeable under the eyes;
- oval "floating" of the face;
- Small wrinkles, easy to get deep.
With age, skin type can change. Women with normal skin at a young age began to complain of increasing dryness. Oily epidermis is dehydrated and irritated, reacting to weather changes and new cosmetics.
The rapid deterioration of the skin does not always come with age. Occurrence is negatively affected by:
- Malnutrition;
- smoking and alcohol;
- lack of fresh air;
- insufficient sleep;
- too strong detergent;
- unsuitable cosmetics;
- Hormonal disorder.
Before starting anti-aging procedures at home, you need to eliminate as many negative factors as possible. It's important to increase the amount of fluid you drink and monitor your nutrition. The menu includes as many fresh vegetables and fruits as possible, fermented dairy products, natural fiber. Should quit smoking and reduce alcohol completely, get enough sleep and move more.
Rejuvenation at home: necessary procedures
An experienced esthetician can develop a personalized anti-aging program and select the right cosmetics. Your daily ritual should include:
- Gentle cleansing with very gentle preparations enriched with natural oils, marine collagen, silk proteins and vitamins. It is better to replace tap water with boiled, filtered or spring water.
- Multi-layer humidification. The only universal cream will not be able to maintain an optimal hydro-lipid balance. You should first moisten your face with a lotion rich in herbal extracts and hyaluronic acid, and then apply a liquid emulsion and a nourishing cream. High-end cosmetics are quickly absorbed without creating a feeling of discomfort. Multi-stage application allows you to keep moisture on the skin, preventing flaking and dryness.
- Balancing diet. You should first apply the serum on your face, and then just lubricate the skin with a cream. Products for deep recovery are used according to the course of 20 - 30 days. For example, after completing a course with retinol, you can take a short break and start using products with hyaluronic acid or vitamin C.
An excellent anti-aging agent - mask with collagen, retinol and hyaluronic acid.
Over time, the skin needs more aggressive treatment. Deep cleansing is essential for improved skin. Instead of active exfoliation, mild erasers are used. Creamy product spread evenly over face, wait a few minutes and roll out mass with fingers. At the same time, keratinized scales, sebum plugs, cosmetic residues and other impurities are removed from the surface of the skin. After such a course, the face is bright, small wrinkles are smoothed, rosy cheeks appear. You can repeat the cleaning 1-2 times a week.
To remove makeup, do not use strong gels but use saturated water-absorbing oils to deep clean the skin and not dry the skin excessively.
Mature skin is affected by the superficial shedding process. At home, you can use recipes with added fruit acids. They gently exfoliate, refresh the face and improve the penetration of nutrients. For very dry and thin skin, lighter glycol peels are suitable. It is recommended to use preparations from the professional series, they are more effective. The exact course of treatment depends on each person's condition. Acid peels should not be used in spring and summer, as active sun contributes to the appearance of age spots.
A properly selected lifting cream will tighten the oval of the face and prevent age-related ptosis.
Traditional methods for anti-aging skin
To rejuvenate the skin, basic and essential oils are actively used. They should be applied to a thoroughly cleansed face, avoiding the area around the eyes. The rich oil texture creates a protective film on the skin's surface, helping to smooth fine lines and retain moisture. A few drops of ether are added to almond, soybean or peach oil. Lavender or jasmine essential oils fight hyperpigmentation and deeply nourish dry skin. The pink color has a slight lifting effect and is suitable for self-massage. Juniper narrows enlarged pores and soothes the skin, neroli oil smooths fine lines, relaxes and accelerates cell renewal.
Instead of industrial tonics, you can use herbal decoction. Parsley will lighten the skin and remove age spots, chamomile will relieve dryness and flaking, oak bark will reduce pores. Rinse face with cool water after morning or evening wash.
Vegetable oils can be used for heating and wrapping the body. They are especially useful in winter, when the skin is dry.

The dough is mixed with warm milk until a paste is not too thick. It is applied to cleansed skin for 10-15 minutes and washed off first with warm water and then with cool water. For deep nourishment and increased elasticity, a mask of fresh yeast mixed with milk is suitable, the whipped protein will slightly tighten the oval shape and reduce enlarged pores.
