It seems young and attractive regardless of age is every woman's dream.There are several ways to maintain fresh and elastic skin.Someone regularly visits a cosmetologist and spends a fortune for hardware procedures and injections of miraculous drugs.And someone chooses to take care of the apparition alone.If you choose the right home care, it can become an effective beauty program and give a result not worse than the complex manipulations of the salon.
The reasons for the aging of the skin
With the age in skin cells, a fatty balance of water is disturbed.This is what leads to the appearance of wrinkles on the face and relaxation of the skin.Not enough the hydrated skin becomes dry and slow, it loses tone, dry.In youth, there are no such problems: a natural lipid barrier prevents the evaporation of humidity, but gradually destroys and opens the path to age -related changes.
This is why in adulthood an additional cure is needed, aimed mainly at hydrating the skin.To restore elasticity and improve the tone, it is necessary to regularly compensate the lack of fluid.Unfortunately, for this reason it is not enough to drink a lot of water - humidity is necessary both from the inside and from the outside.But preliminarily, the skin must be prepared correctly.
Clean the skin at home
Any face rejuvenation procedures can only be performed on a well -purified skin.Excess skin fat, keratinized cells, decorative cosmetics and dust must be carefully removed.To do this, you can use all the washing tools suitable for you.
Cleaning procedures can be integrated with steam baths: they improve blood circulation, which has a beneficial effect on the complexion and the general tone of the skin.In addition, they reveal the pores, which means that leaving the products will be able to easily enter the deepest layers of the epidermis.
Steam bathrooms can be easily prepared at home.If adding medicinal herbs to the water, this will give a further result: illuminates the skin, help to cope with inflammation, levers on the skin tone.
Masks for peeling and face at home
Peeling is necessary to deeply clean the skin.It allows you to gently remove the keratinized cells from the surface of the epidermis and level the plot.
Homemade peeling products can be purchased in a shop or prepared.Very often, coffee or oat flour funds are used for the peeling base.The coffee beans on the ground are more aggressive and the bows are also suitable for sensitive skin.The oatmeal peel is a very soft cleaning that fights in parallel with inflammation and has a calming effect.
After a deep cleaning on the face, it is necessary to apply a nourishing mask.It is better if it is based on natural oils (almonds, apricot, olive, etc.).Vitamin E, which is contained in them, contributes to the good regeneration of the cells and slows down the aging processes.
Homemade mask with olive oil
In a mixture containing 1 egg yolk, a teaspoon of honey and a few drops of lemon juice, 5-10 drops of olive oil are added.The resulting mask is applied to the skin of the face and neckline after peeling and after 15 minutes it is washed with hot water.
After all the procedures, it is useful to make a light massage, for example, caressing or touching the face along the massage lines for several minutes, moving from the bottom up.This activates the flow of blood, improves the tone and prevents the appearance of facial wrinkles.
What to protect the skin
The main enemy of female beauty is ultraviolet.The sun's rays are drying the skin and regular tan (included in the solarium) can lead to pre -prize and early wrinkles.Do not abuse UV radiation and make sure to use sun protection.
During our appearance, the internal state of the body is also reflected.Excessive work, irritation, nervous tension acts destructively at the work of absolutely all organs and systems, and sooner or later this will influence the conditions of the skin.
Try to maintain balance, avoid stress, relax and relax.And if you think that the rhythm of life is becoming too boring, take a break, spend a day in nature or at least drink a relaxing herbal tea with lemon balm.
Balanced diet
The reflective procedures will not benefit if the skin does not receive nutrient enough from the inside.Your diet should include many fibers (removes toxins, normalizes the digestive system), vitamins (provide the body with the necessary antioxidants and useful substances) and proteins (are a construction material for cells).
I exclude fat and sweets: there is no benefit from these products.With such nutrition, your skin will always be young and beautiful.
The benefits and damage of cosmetics
A homemade mask or scrub is certainly useful and safe, but there is not always the opportunity to prepare the necessary cosmetics alone.In this case, you can buy them in a shop.The main thing is to read the composition carefully and choose products that do not contain harmful substances.
In order not to make a mistake with a cosmetic product, we will consider its main components and understand what they are useful and what they are harmful.
Silicones
Many substances include this class of compounds.Very often, you can find names such as cyclometics, Dimetikon on the package.All of these are silicones of different compositions, which often act as a basis for the production of moisturizing creams.Silicone -based funds are better applied than oils, do not leave a bold shine and perfectly hydrate.In addition, they have a lifting effect: after them the skin seems smoother and more elastic.
Advantages:
- Silicones are hypoallergenic, they can be used on sensitive and subject to skin irritations;
- Create a protective layer that protects the face from the effects of cold rays, wind and ultraviolet;
- Align peeling, accelerate wound healing, recommended for use for various dermatitis.
Cracking:
- You cannot use people subject to asthma;
- With prolonged use, silicones interrupt the natural skin protection functions.
Emulsifiers, viscosity regulators, surfactants
Emulgators and viscosity regulators belong to auxiliary substances: they are necessary so that the product has the necessary consistency, it is not liquid or, on the contrary, it is not too often.The surface-active substances (surfactants) are more often used in the washing of the products: they are responsible for ensuring that the foam or gel are well removed excess fat and pollution from the surface of the skin.
Advantages:
- It would be impossible to clean the skin without surfactants, because the water is not associated with fat particles;
- Many viscosity regulators improve the moisturizing properties of the product, for example fatty alcohol.
Cracking:
- Regulators based on conventional denatured alcohol can cause drying of the epidermis;
- The aggressive surfactants relieved the skin too much, which leads to the destruction of its immunity.
Special action ingredients
These include components that perform the main functions.These are glycerin, propylene glycol, urea, ceramids, various vitamins and other substances.Each of them has its own action and very often it is possible to evaluate their effectiveness only after applying the product.
Depending on the quantity, they can cause an individual body reaction, so any product needs a preliminary test.For example, apply a small amount of cream to the elbow curve from the inside and wait a few minutes.If the irritation or the feeling of combustion appears, this tool does not adapt to you.
A common disadvantage of cosmetics for special use is that it contains very few active substances.Although it is written on the label that you have an intensive moisturizer, most likely the moisturizing ingredients themselves in it no more than 10-15%.This does not apply to professional cosmetics, which has a stronger effect (but also requires a lot of care in use).
Dyes, preservatives, fragrances
Do not listen to producers when they say their cosmetics do not contain preservatives.Without them, the funds deteriorate for several days.And if you use a cream for at least a month, it probably has preservatives.In most cases, it doesn't matter if it will be natural or artificial substances.Their quantity in cosmetics is so small (less than 0.5%) that they do not have an evident effect on the skin.
Natural organic cosmetics fans will never buy a cream or lotion, which contains parabens, ethyloninettraux or phenoxietanol acid.However, there are no real reasons to fear these substances.It is rather a fashionable tribute rather than a vital necessity.
The dyes and fragrances are needed so that a cosmetic product appeared and had an attractive smell.And here everything is decided by the single susceptibility to the components.Some of them can cause allergic reactions, so any cosmetic must be tested before use.
Each woman, regardless of the material state and professional knowledge, can become an excellent cosmetologist for herself.Simply choose the right set of effective procedures and cosmetics for each season.Well, of course, use them regularly!
