What does it mean when they say about a person “He is pockmarked”? (6 photos)

Causes of dry and sagging skin

Skin laxity is a loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin, and its appearance is not always associated with natural aging.

Causes of sagging skin:

• Poor nutrition – frequent adherence to diets with strict restrictions, or, on the contrary, abuse of sweets and light carbohydrates, leading to the process of glycation in the skin.
• Disturbance in sleep patterns - lack of sleep leads to disturbances in circadian rhythms and lack of full recovery of both the entire body and the skin in particular. It is at night that most of the synthetic processes take place, i.e. cellular renewal and formation of young chains of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
• Poor environment, stress, smoking lead to the destruction of vitamin C and the skin’s protective system. The aggression of free radicals leads to the destruction of collagen fibers, and the lack of vitamin C slows down the formation of new ones.
• Passion for tanning - even active tanning 2 times a year during vacation. Exposure to ultraviolet rays reduces the activity of fibroblasts, they synthesize less collagen and hyaluronic acid, and more metalloproteinase enzymes are produced that destroy their own collagen.
• Cosmetics: incorrectly selected, poor quality, lack of regular and properly selected care - violates skin barriers, making it more sensitive and susceptible to other negative factors.

The presence of dry and sagging skin indicates a combination of several provoking factors, when premature aging of the skin occurs against the background of impaired barrier function.

Is it possible to restore elasticity to facial skin?

Is your face already starting to look like a slowly deflating balloon? Is your skin loose and uneven? Are the contours blurry? Does gravity pull flaccid and stretched tissue down?

Flabby skin is not a death sentence. You can increase the elasticity and tighten the skin of your face. Moreover, only self-massage and gymnastics techniques will be effective. Only they will eliminate the causes of skin aging and launch the mechanisms of natural rejuvenation. They are safe, and the result will be visible after 2-3 weeks of regular exercise.

It's never too late to start doing exercises. Natural rejuvenation techniques can improve skin elasticity at any age.

The sooner you start taking care of your face, the easier it will be to restore elasticity to your skin and prolong youth.

The result will be even after menopause, when the problem has already been fixed at the hormonal level. You can tighten sagging skin, make the oval of your face clear, get rid of a double chin, bulldog cheeks, ptosis (drooping) of the upper eyelids.

What happens inside the skin

Information for specialists

The appearance of sagging skin is associated with disturbances in the structure of the dermal layer of the skin:

• Changes in the structure and functioning of fibroblasts - they become more rigid and flat, their synthetic activity decreases, which leads to a decrease in the viscoelastic properties of collagen.
• An insufficient amount of collagen and a violation of its structure leads to impaired contact between fibers and fibroblasts, which for normal functioning must be in a stretched, spindle-shaped state.
• This is how a “vicious circle” arises : lack of collagen synthesis <=> dysfunction of fibroblasts.

Such changes most affect the fibroblasts of the papillary dermis, which primarily affects the normal structure of the papilla of the epidermal-dermal junction.

There is a smoothing of the papillae, which manifests itself in the initial stages as sagging skin. There is a feeling of insufficient tension and elasticity, subsequently ptosis and wrinkles form .

Folk remedies for facial skin tone

You can make your own face mask. The simplest and cheapest products that any housewife can find have a beneficial effect on the skin.

Open the kitchen cabinets and take out oatmeal, rice, gelatin, rye bread, potatoes, vegetable oils, honey. Take eggs, lemon, cucumbers, dill, and milk from the refrigerator.

Masks made from these ingredients will help improve skin elasticity. Apply them to your face twice a week, keep for 20-30 minutes and rinse with warm water.

Folk recipes for masks against sagging skin:

1. Gelatin mask
   ½ tbsp. spoons of gelatin (dissolve in 3 tablespoons of hot water and cool) + 5 drops of lemon juice + 1 egg yolk.
2. Potato mask
   1 potato, boiled in its jacket + 1 teaspoon of sour cream + 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.

   Grind and mix, apply the warm mixture to your face and cover with a towel.

3. Bread mask
   1 piece of rye bread + 1/3 glass of warm milk + 1 teaspoon of honey.
4. Oatmeal mask
   2 tbsp. spoons of oatmeal poured with hot milk + 1 teaspoon of olive oil + 1 tbsp. spoon of sour cream.
5. Lemon mask
   5 drops of lemon juice + 1 tbsp. spoon of olive oil + 1 egg yolk.

How to deal with sagging and dry skin

Seeing dry, flabby skin with reduced turgor, cosmetologists often recommend a biorevitalization - i.e. injection of hyaluronic acid into the dermal layer of the skin. Which, by the way, comes out very quickly (from 2 to 5 days).

There is no need to rush into replacement therapy because:

• This does not solve the problem of dry skin and impaired barrier function.
• Why introduce a foreign product when the skin itself is able to compensate for the resulting deficiency by eliminating the causes of its formation.

Features of porous skin care

Porous skin brings certain difficulties to its owner and needs a lot of attention, especially since home care alone may not be enough. Before carrying out caring procedures, it is necessary to visit a dermatologist and cosmetologist to diagnose and examine the skin condition. Experts will evaluate its moisture, oil content, elasticity and determine the presence of skin problems. In some situations, you may need to consult with specialized specialists (endocrinologist, gastroenterologist), as well as additional studies and tests to exclude or confirm the presence of pathologies of internal organs and systems.

Correction plan for dry skin with sagging

Eliminate exposure to all provoking factors

Normalization of nutrition, intake of vitamins and active supplements, normalization of sleep and rest patterns.

Protects skin from UV and blue light rays

Flabby skin, atonicity, dyspigmentation of the facial skin, eye fatigue and general fatigue, problems with falling asleep - these are all manifestations of the negative effects of blue light. Its sources: computer, tablet, smartphones and fluorescent lamps.

According to research, blue light is 15 times more dangerous than the rest of the visible light range. Causes powerful oxidative stress, provokes degradation of collagen fibers, the appearance of age spots, dryness and increased sensitivity of the skin.

Use a cream that contains representatives of 2-3 main groups:

• Hydrants are substances that attract and retain water molecules in the skin: urea, lactic acid, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin.
• Emollients are substances that create a protective film on the surface of the skin (it is they that determine the density of the cream) - these are vegetable and mineral oils, fats, waxes, dimethicone.

“Loose face and sagging cheeks”: indignant Maksakova appeared without filters for the first time

Maria Maksakova openly opposes the actions of the Russian authorities. After moving to Ukraine with her husband, ex-State Duma deputy Denis Voronenkov, the blonde became very attached to Kyiv.

Subscribe and read Express Newspaper in:

The famous opera singer and former State Duma deputy from United Russia, Maria Maksakova, has been living in the capital, Nezalezhnaya, for many years, where she moved with fugitive deputy Denis Voronenkov. The representative of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation faction had to quickly leave the Russian Federation when it became known that a criminal case had been initiated against him.

Soon after moving to Kyiv, the politician became the victim of a hired killer. Since then, Maksakova was afraid to leave Ukraine, until she came home in 2022 to participate in a popular TV show. Then the blonde throughout the country made a big deal of not only her ex-husband and the father of her two children, businessman Vladimir Tyurin, but also did not hesitate to criticize the behavior of her own mother. Let us remember that actress Lyudmila Maksakova flatly refused to communicate with her daughter after her hasty departure from the country.

Details of Maria Maksakova’s quarrel with her mother have surfaced

Naturally, the righteous speeches of Maksakova, who appeared on TV, did not help her reconcile with her principled parent. And the opera diva was never reunited with her already grown-up heirs, but she did not hesitate to arrange a fierce division of her Moscow apartment with the guys. It must be said that Maksakova’s emigration greatly offended her children and mother. Realizing that her relatives did not intend to “surrender,” Maria focused on her career and appearance. After the birth of her third child, son Vanya (whose father is the deceased deputy), she gained a lot of kilograms, which she hastily began to get rid of and publish the results of her incredible transformation on her personal microblog.

However, today it became clear to the blonde’s subscribers that the artist painstakingly disguises all her publications using filters. The secret became clear after the diva appeared, as they say, in an honest manner in her last live broadcast on Instagram. Of course, Maria Maksakova carefully applied her makeup, but the abundance of foundation and powder failed, according to some users, to hide the blonde’s “loose face and sagging cheeks.” The main topic of the indignant singer’s broadcast was tough sanctions, as a result of which foreign brands began to leave Russia.

Cosmetology procedures

Treatment of porous skin using a cosmetic method involves performing procedures such as:

1. Facial cleansing: considered the main procedure to solve the difficulties of enlarged pores;
2. Peeling (enzyme and glycolic);
3. Laser skin resurfacing: aimed at renewing the epidermal layer of the skin, eliminating post-acne marks and reducing pores;
4. Microdermabrasion: in terms of its effectiveness, this procedure is equal to gas-liquid peeling and is considered less aggressive in comparison with laser resurfacing.

Additional procedures for caring for porous facial skin will include the use of facial massage, darsonvalization, ultraphonophoresis, alginate masks, as well as mesotherapy using individual compositions.

Treatment of porous facial skin also involves the use of a special therapeutic massage, which is performed between facial cleansing procedures. It helps eliminate sebum from the ducts and, if used systematically, will significantly reduce the size of pores. Manual massage affects all levels of the skin - subcutaneous fat, dermis, muscles and blood vessels, and is also characterized by a drainage effect, which promotes cell renewal and improved blood flow.

Makeup rules

Those with porous skin should take a thoughtful approach to applying makeup. It is advisable to do without it; if decorative cosmetics are necessary, they must be applied correctly. Most women use a large amount of foundation to disguise porous skin. This should not be done, otherwise the flaws will become more noticeable, and cosmetics will clog the pores even more.

Makeup should be applied to a thoroughly cleansed face rubbed with an ice cube. Under the influence of cold, the tubules will narrow, and particles of cosmetics will not get into them.

You should apply a moisturizer underneath your decorative cosmetics to make your skin look smoother. The foundation should be light; under a thick one (with a matte effect), the skin will begin to sweat. You can use powder for oily problematic porous skin. A product with a light reflection effect is best suited; it will distract attention from defects. The emphasis should be on the eyes, not on the cheekbones.

Before going to bed, your face should be thoroughly cleansed of makeup using micellar water or toner.

Hardware techniques

In parallel with massage, to improve the drainage effect, hardware techniques are used, in this case it is pneumophototherapy, which consists of phototherapy and vacuum massage. The vacuum pulls the secretion of the sebaceous glands to the surface, facilitating its removal, and the action of phototherapy provides a sebostatic and antibacterial effect. After using pneumophototherapy, redness, which is caused by disruption and stagnation of microcirculation, disappears, the skin tightens and evens out in color.

The success and effectiveness of treating porous skin depends on a comprehensive combination of salon treatments and proper care at home.

Products for narrowing pores

As already mentioned, the choice of products for narrowing pores in pharmacies is quite large. You can consult a doctor and choose the right one for your particular case, or you can prepare the necessary drug at home.

Lemon and cucumber lotion

Cucumber-lemon lotion is effective against porous skin problems caused by excessive oiliness.

Prepare the product in the following way:

1. Mix 4 tbsp. finely grated cucumber with 1 tbsp. crushed lemon peel.
2. Add 2 tbsp. lemon juice.
3. Pour 200 g of alcohol into the resulting mixture.
4. Leave for 20 days.
5. Strain.
6. Dilute slightly with mineral water (or boiled water).
7. Add egg white and 1 tsp. honey

You should wipe your face with the resulting lotion twice a day.

Potato compress

Compresses for enlarged pores have a cleansing and steaming effect. You can carry out the procedure using regular potatoes.

To do this, you need to take a raw root vegetable, grate it on a fine grater, wrap it in gauze, and apply it to your face. A similar manipulation can be done by dipping cotton swabs in squeezed potato juice and applying them to problem areas.

The duration of the procedure is 15-20 minutes.

Ice compress

Cold water itself causes the pores to narrow; ice is even more effective in this situation. Cubes for cold treatment at home are made from mineral water, juice or herbal infusion.

The following plants are suitable:

• chamomile;
• calendula;
• sage;
• linden flowers.

2 tablespoons of any herb (you can use a mixture) pour 200 g of boiling water. Let it brew for 40 minutes, strain, pour into molds, and put in the freezer. Morning and evening, wipe your face with cubes.

Frozen lemon juice diluted with water in a ratio of 1:2 perfectly tightens pores.

Camphor compress and jojoba oil

Camphor and jojoba oils have a lot of beneficial properties for the skin and are actively used in cosmetology to solve the problems of oily skin with enlarged pores.
