Plastic surgery works wonders, but not every woman can afford the operation. But competent skin care at home is available to everyone. The main thing is that it should be regular and complete.
Daily care plan:
- cleaning;
- toning;
- moisturizer;
- nutrition.
2 times a week it is worth doing nourishing masks, as well as connecting self-massage and gymnastics for the muscles of the face.
The set of skin care cosmetics for women 50 and older is the same as in previous years. But the composition of the funds should be different.
Need:
- get rid of products that dry out the skin - alkaline foams for washing, alcohol-containing lotions;
- buy protective cosmetics to protect the skin from the negative effects of the sun, wind and frost;
- replace conventional creams and toners with anti-aging ones.
To cleanse and tone, you need:
- foam or gel for washing at neutral pH;
- Scrub-scrub (use once in 7-14 days depending on skin type);
- micellar water;
- alcohol-free tonic.
It is useful to wipe the face with ice cubes - it tones and refreshes the skin. It is advisable to use decoctions of chamomile, succession, linden for making ice.
For hydration and nutrition, use day and night creams. Separately, you need to buy a cream for the skin of the eyelids, but for the neck you can use the same products as for the face. It is not necessary to buy expensive cream, medium-priced funds are also suitable.
Good anti-aging creams contain:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- Coenzyme Q10;
- peptides;
- hyaluronic acid;
- collagen.
You can buy ready-made masks or make your own. After 50 years, masks with oils, honey, fresh vegetables and fruits are useful. To tighten, home remedies with starch, gelatin and homemade proteins are used.
Massage will help you stay young. Ideally, it should be done by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not excluded.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides several types of impact - kneading, stroking, vibration. The procedure begins with superficial effects, then they move on to deep kneading.
Basic tips:
- Caress. Light strokes are made in the direction of the lines of least stretch (massage lines).
- The kneading is superficial. It is performed with four fingers (except for the thumb), a movement is performed that resembles drawing a spiral with small twists.
- Deep kneading. It is carried out with the five fingers and the palm, the pressure must be more intense.
- tapping. It is done with the fingertips along all the massage lines.
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the collarbone to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the session, the face is powdered with sterile talc - this is necessary to prevent the fingers from slipping on the skin.
Another technique is a complex massage with tablespoons. For the procedure, you need to prepare two containers with hot and cold water, a couple of spoons, cosmetic oil.
The impact is made by the convex part of the spoon. Caressing, rubbing and light tapping techniques are used. It is advisable to use silver spoons, but you can take regular ones. Warm oil is applied to the skin before the session. The effect is done alternately with a cold and hot spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
An effective way to rejuvenate the face without injections and operations is facial muscle gymnastics. Learning to do exercises at home is not difficult, the main thing is that the classes should be regular.
There are different series of exercises. Here's one (do each move 10 times):
- Take air in your mouth and distill it in a circle from cheek to cheek, like rolling a ball. First clockwise, then counterclockwise.
- Firmly press the corners of your lips with your fingers. Pull your lips forward, as if to kiss someone, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Press the outer corners of the eyes with your fingers (with the eyelids closed). Open your eyes as wide as possible, raising your eyebrows slightly. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lower your eyelids and relax your muscles.
- Place three fingers on the area between the eyebrows, press firmly. Try to bring your eyebrows together, frown, overcome the resistance of your fingers.
- Open your mouth and try to pull your lips inward, as if hiding them behind your teeth. This movement raises the chin.
- Press the corners of your lips with your fingers and try to smile broadly.
- Pull your cheeks inward, then puff them out with air.
When exercising, you may feel a burning sensation in the skin. This is normal, as the muscles work and tighten.
Salons offer different ways to look younger after 55 without surgery. These are both traditional methods (massage, masks), and new methods (introduction of fillers, material exposure).
The essence of the technique of rejuvenation of the face and neck without surgery consists in performing skin punctures and the introduction of synthetic threads that create a reinforcing frame. The effect of the procedural field lasts 3-4 years.
Lifting with threads is recommended for sagging cheeks, the formation of a second chin, changes in the contour of the face, the appearance of wrinkles.
For the manufacture of wires, polymer materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold are used. The diameter of the wires does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. After the introduction of the thread does not make itself felt and is not visible to others.
The essence of this procedure is the exposure of the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux that is provided by bursts. The wavelength used is 400 to 1400 nm. The effect of the procedure does not appear immediately, but 6-8 weeks after the end of the course. During this period, the collagen framework and the structure of the skin are strengthened, the face is tightened and fine wrinkles are smoothed.
Light energy heats tissues and destroys photosensitive substances. Thereby:
- pigment spots disappear, the complexion improves;
- turgor increases;
- the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is enhanced.
The technique is not suitable for getting rid of all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to remove deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging. The main thing is the impact on the epidermis with a laser. The top layer of cells is evaporated, which stimulates regeneration processes.
Grinding is one of the varieties of peeling. But the effect is achieved on the deep layers, in comparison with acid peeling. Only a captain holding a certificate can carry out the procedure.
It is a hardware procedure based on infrared exposure of the deep layers of the skin. It is performed using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The energy flow heats the deep layers of the skin to the compaction temperature. As a result, the stretched collagen fibers are tightened, providing a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, as well as other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
An injection procedure, the essence of which is the introduction of special "cocktails" under the skin. Preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes occur:
- age spots disappear;
- improves complexion;
- dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed;
- the relief is leveled.
The drugs are administered with very fine needles. Many microtraumas are created, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and improve blood microcirculation.
When planning a rejuvenation without surgery, many women choose injection procedures. In cosmetology, various preparations are used for injection into the skin:
- hyaluronic acid in combination with peptides;
- botulinum toxin;
- calcium collagen hydroxyapatite.
Some drugs are given by injection. Very fine injection needles are used.
Rejuvenation of the face and neck is carried out by introducing special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure, the face acquires a fresh look, wrinkles and acne marks disappear. The technique stimulates the production of collagen.
A home alternative to ozone therapy is facial treatment with hydrogen peroxide. However, external exposure is less effective than the injection technique.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of effectiveness, the procedure can be compared to using stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
It is necessary to carry out the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the appropriate certificates. Unskilled use of the laser can lead to burns and other adverse effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of non-surgical facial rejuvenation with many benefits:
- absence of severe pain;
- noticeable effect even after one procedure;
- no negative side effects;
- a short period of rehabilitation.
An important advantage is an affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles) with pronounced efficiency. The procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - smoothes wrinkles, tightens, eliminates post-acne scars.
It is recommended to use fractional laser exposure in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- wrinkles, including deep;
- sagging skin, loss of a clear oval of the face;
- scars, scars, spider veins;
- enlarged pores, acne;
- black dots.
But there are also contraindications. This must be taken into account, because at fifty, not everyone has the health of iron. It is forbidden to perform laser rejuvenation in such circumstances:
- large inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- malignant neoplasms of any localization;
- heart disease;
- epilepsy;
- immunodeficiency state;
- neurological disorders;
- serious allergic diseases.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of any chronic diseases. The specialist on the basis of this decides which technique can be used.
The technique consists of the impact of a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. Since the beam is divided into several small beams, the effect is only on certain microzones, the rest of the tissues remain intact. In the affected areas, the cells are "burned", which stimulates the process of regeneration, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
It is recommended that women aged 50 and over use a non-ablative exposure method. Its difference is that the deep layers of the dermis are involved in the process. This smooths out even deep wrinkles.
During the first week after exposure, the skin will be inflamed. We can note :
- in the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- on day 2-3 - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be particularly sensitive to the sun, so you must apply a protective cream before going out.
After the peeling stops, that is, after about a week, the effect of the procedure will become noticeable. The wrinkles are less deep, the skin is tightened, the face appears fresh. But to achieve a pronounced result, you need to go through a series of sessions. Their number is determined individually.
Help in choosing the appropriate method of rejuvenation will be provided by a professional cosmetologist.
After 50 years, it will no longer be possible to achieve a good effect when using:
- light fruit peels;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These treatments are suitable for young women over the age of 30. After fifty and even more sixty, techniques are needed that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth out wrinkles.
Reviews of facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are a lot of positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
First revision
With age, pronounced wrinkles and age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical techniques. The esthetician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I did it without severe pain or bruising. Already on the 6th day, the face looked decent, although it was more rosy than usual. I can say that there is a result - the eyelids tightened, wrinkles became smaller, small pigment spots disappeared, but large ones only turned pale. I will repeat the process later.
Second review
I'm afraid to do plastic surgery, so I took care of my skin very carefully. But after 50 years the face "collapsed", there were cheeks, a second chin, a network of wrinkles. I opted for fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears were streaming from my eyes, I could hardly bear this execution. In the morning I got up and was scared of myself in the mirror - a face like a beaten homeless woman. Somehow I survived 3 days and then it got better. But she couldn't really "hang out with people" until after 2 weeks. My eye wrinkles have disappeared, the oval has cleared up, the nasolabial folds have become less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time I dare not endure this pain even for beauty.
