In this article we will look at what measures need to be taken to delay skin aging and sagging. If you regularly follow these recommendations, you will notice that your face looks well-groomed and beautiful.

What happens to facial skin in adulthood?

Time cannot be stopped. Today you are a young girl with a smooth pink face, and tomorrow the first wrinkles appear. How quickly will this “tomorrow” come? Depends on a huge number of factors - heredity, ecology, nutrition, lifestyle, care, and even your attitude towards life (despondency, anger, resentment and eternal dissatisfaction with life greatly accelerate aging and shorten life).

In addition, by the age of fifty, hormonal changes in the body begin. It is during this period that many face deep wrinkles, sagging, unhealthy complexion and age spots. This is due to a decrease in the release of collagen and elastin. Regeneration also begins to work worse.

But you can help yourself! To do this, you need to choose the right care and introduce new healthy habits into your daily life. For example, self-massage. But first things first.

Operating principle

Natural components fill the skin with vitamins and microelements, accelerate metabolic processes, improve blood circulation and increase the protective functions of the dermis. When metabolic processes are activated, cell regeneration occurs and the epidermis is renewed, which gives a rejuvenating effect.

Some berries and fruits with a high content of fruit acids have a good lightening effect and allow you to remove age-related pigmentation on the face. Most products allow you to tighten some parts of your face and even out its shape.

Main causes of skin aging

Skin ages for various reasons, but the main ones are time, care, habits, climate and genetics.

3. Bad habits - smokers and alcohol drinkers are immediately visible. The skin turns yellow and becomes flabby. Do you want to prevent this? Get rid of bad habits.
4. Genes - some women may not take care of their skin at all and look perfect, while others make great efforts and still quickly face the first signs of aging. Heredity is to blame for everything.
5. Climate - people living in hot countries age much faster. The point is the sun, which affects the skin like grapes - it turns it into raisins.

The main stages of facial skin care after 50 years

But we must not forget about proper care. It will help maintain a healthy complexion and prevent unwanted breakouts (yes, even women over 50 get acne).

1. Cleansing is the most important step in any skincare routine. Complex processes occur in the dermis at night, which is why it is so important to cleanse it in the morning. Well, in the evening you wash off all the dirt that managed to settle on your face during the day. You can wash your face with just tap water, but there are few places where it is of high quality. Most often, it contains not very good substances (the same as chlorine), which negatively affect the condition of the dermis. It is better to use natural hydrolates. For example, hydrosol with rose is ideal for mature skin.

2. Peeling - exfoliate at least once a week. This way you regulate sebum secretion and get rid of dead skin cells.
3. Moisturizing – As we age, our skin tends to dry out more. This causes peeling and itching, and the furrows become larger. To prevent this, use a suitable moisturizer. Beauty 365 Cane Squalane will do the job perfectly. In addition, it can be used on any part of your body, it turns out to be very beneficial.

4. Toning is an important step that many women neglect. You can use both hydrosol and plant tinctures. In winter it is useful to use lemon juice and honey.
5. Masks - give preference to collagen-based masks. After all, this is exactly what your skin needs so much.

Contraindications and possible consequences

It is undesirable to use tightening masks in several cases:

• age less than 25 years;
• any damage to the skin - wounds, burns, scratches, etc.;
• allergy (intolerance) to the components used;
• thin, weakened or visible vessels, including rosacea and “stars”;
• any inflammation - acne, comedones, etc.;
• recovery period after injection or surgical rejuvenation.

Negative effects do not occur so often, most of them being an allergic reaction, lack of results or worsening of the facial condition. The reason for this may be either ignoring contraindications or excessive abuse of masks that are not suitable for the skin.

If you are overweight, anti-aging care using homemade masks often turns out to be ineffective or even harmful, making wrinkles only more pronounced.

Skin irritation is not necessarily due to allergies; itching and redness can be caused by the use of spoiled products

Using modern salon treatments

In pursuit of eternal youth, women are ready to do anything. Even go under the surgeon's knife.

Botox injections

- cosmetologists say that it is “beauty injections” that can smooth out wrinkles and restore the face to its former youth. In fact, aging skin is more likely to simply stretch under the volume of filler or even reject the foreign substance. And in the end you will look much worse than before the procedure.

Chemical and laser peels

— leave burns and create the feeling that you have been scalped. Probably no one wants to experience something like this. And then you won’t be able to go outside - since sunlight is contraindicated, and you yourself won’t want to show yourself to the world with a red, “freshened” face.

Ultrasound machines

— penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and destroy its structure. Experts assure that everything is being done to restore regeneration function, but in reality

Salon treatments are more harmful and addictive. Many girls have encountered the opposite effect and the incompetence of cosmetologists. To avoid a disastrous result, it is better to abandon them altogether. Moreover, you can achieve better results at home, using only your hands and natural ingredients.

Popular folk remedies

Nature has already given man everything for a comfortable and happy life. Moreover, you can not only consume these gifts as food, but also use them for cosmetic purposes.

Massage and gymnastics for the care of aging skin after 50

Not doing a facial massage yet? Then it's time to start! A dry massage brush and vacuum cans will help you with this.

Dry massage stimulates the lymph flow and gets rid of dead cells. Do it strictly along massage lines and only on dry skin. Don't forget the moisturizer at the end.

Surgical intervention

A facelift through surgery is the most radical solution to the problem of age-related changes. Often, a facelift is performed together with other operations to prolong youth (blepharoplasty, chin liposuction and lipofilling).

Depending on the nature of the problem, skin tightening surgery is performed in different areas of the face:

• Removing sagging tissue in the cheeks, chin and neck areas provides a firmer look to the lower part of the face.
• Elimination of sagging skin in the cheeks and lower eyelids gives a clearer contour of the cheekbones. Because of this, visible thinness of the face is created.
• Manipulations in the forehead area help get rid of horizontal wrinkles and tighten drooping corners of the eyes and eyebrows.

This method of treatment is much more expensive than hardware technologies. However, the operation has a longer lasting effect.
