In women over the age of 50, estrogen production decreases sharply, which affects the condition of the skin. 50 years of non-surgical facial rejuvenation is possible with the help of cosmetology methods and competent home care.
Plastic surgery can work wonders, but not all women can afford surgery. But competent skin care at home is available to everyone. The point is to be regular and comprehensive.
Daily care plan:
- cleaning;
- toning;
- moisturizing;
- nutrition.
It is worth performing nourishing masks 2 times a week, as well as combining self-massage and facial gymnastics.
The set of skin care cosmetics for women over the age of 50 is the same as in previous years. But the composition of the funds must be different.
Need:
- get rid of skin drying products - alkaline washing foams, alcohol creams;
- buy protective cosmetics to protect your skin from the negative effects of the sun, wind and frost;
- replace traditional creams and tonics with anti-aging products.
For cleansing and toning you need:
- foam or gel for neutral pH washing;
- Scrub-gommage (1 time in 7-14 days depending on skin type);
- micellar water;
- non-alcoholic tonic.
It is useful to wipe the face with ice cubes - it tones and refreshes the skin. Chamomile, successional lime decoctions should be used for ice making.
Use of moisturizing and nourishing day and night creams. You will need to purchase a cream for the skin of the eyelid separately, but you can use the same products for the neck as for the face. It is not necessary to buy expensive cream, medium priced funds are also suitable.
Good anti-aging creams include:
- 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. For tightening, home remedies with starch, gelatin and homemade protein are used.
Massage helps to preserve youth. Ideally, perform by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not out of the question either.
An effective technique is plastic massage. It provides several types of blows - kneading, stroking, vibration. The process begins with superficial effects and then proceeds to deep kneading.
Basic tricks:
- To caress. Light stroking movements are performed in the direction of the least stretching lines (massage lines).
- Kneading is superficial. They are performed with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement that is similar to drawing a spiral with small turns.
- Deep kneading. Do it with all five fingers and the palm, the pressure should be more intense.
- tapping. It is done with a fingertip along all massage lines.
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is from the middle of the sternum along the clavicle to the ear and then towards the temple.
Before the session, powder the face with sterile rocking powder - this is necessary to prevent the fingers from slipping on the skin.
Another technique is a complex massage tablespoon. For the procedure, two containers filled with cold and warm water, a few spoons, and cosmetic oil should be prepared.
The blow is exerted by the convex part of the spoon. They use stroking, rubbing, light groping techniques. It is advisable to use a silver spoon, but you can also buy a standard one. Warm oil should be applied to the skin before sitting. The effect takes place alternately with a hot and cold spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
An effective way to rejuvenate the face without injections and surgery is facial gymnastics. Learning exercises at home is not difficult, the point is to have regular classes.
There are different sets of exercises. Here is one of them (perform each move 10 times):
- Take a breath in your mouth and distill in a circle from one face to the other as if rolling a ball. First clockwise, then counterclockwise.
- Press the corners of your lips firmly with your fingers. Pull your lips forward as if you want to kiss someone, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Press the outer corners of the eye with your fingers (with the eyelid closed). Open your eyes as wide as possible, raise your eyebrows slightly. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lower your eyelids and relax your muscles.
- Put three fingers in the area between the eyebrows, press firmly. Try to bring your eyebrows together, frowning, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Open your mouth and try to pull your lips in as if hiding them behind your teeth. This movement raises his chin.
- Press the corners of your lips with your fingers and try to smile broadly.
- Pull your face in and blow it up with air.
You may feel a burning sensation in your skin during exercise. This is normal as the muscles work and tense.
Salons offer a variety of ways to rejuvenate after 55 years without surgery. These are traditional methods (massage, masks) on the one hand, and new methods on the other (introduction of fillers, hardware exposure).
The essence of the non-surgical face and neck rejuvenation technique is to perform skin punctures and introduce synthetic fibers to create a strengthening frame. The effect of the procedural area lasts for 3-4 years.
Lifting with threads is recommended in the case of sagging cheeks, the formation of a second chin, changes in the contour of the face, the appearance of wrinkles.
Polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum and gold are used to make the fibers. The diameter of the fibers does not exceed the thickness of human hair. Once introduced, the thread is not felt or seen by others.
The essence of this procedure is to expose the skin to pulsating light. Radiation is a quantum current provided by eruptions. The wavelength used is 400-1400 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 frame and skin structure are strengthened, the face becomes firmer, fine wrinkles are smoothed out.
Light energy warms tissues and destroys photosensitive materials. Thus:
- age spots disappear, complexion improves;
- the turgor grows;
- the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is increased.
The technique is not suitable for eliminating all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to remove deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser surface treatment is a process that can stop aging. The point is the effect on the epidermis with a laser. The upper layer of cells evaporates, which stimulates regeneration processes.
Grinding is a type of peeling. But it exerts its effect in deep layers compared to acid peeling. Only a master with a certificate can perform the procedure.
It is a hardware procedure based on the infrared exposure of the deep layers of the skin. They are performed with a device that emits radio wave energy.
The energy flow heats the deep layers of the skin to the temperature of compression. As a result, the elongated collagen fibers are stretched, providing a firming effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as other parts of the body. It is also used to fight cellulite.
Injection procedure, the essence of which is to deliver special "cocktails" under the skin. The preparations contain hyaluronic acid, vitamins and amino acids.
With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes will take place:
- the spots of old age disappear;
- improves complexion;
- the drought disappears, the wrinkles smooth out;
- relief balanced.
The medicines are given with very thin needles. There is a lot of microtrauma that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and improves blood microcirculation.
When planning 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.
The selected drugs are administered by injection. Very thin injection needles are used.
The face and neck are rejuvenated with the introduction of special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure, the face gets a fresh look, wrinkles and pimples disappear. The technique stimulates the production of collagen.
A home alternative to ozone therapy is to treat the face with hydrogen peroxide. However, external exposure is less effective than injection technique.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible with the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of efficiency, the procedure is comparable to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
The procedure must be performed in a suitably certified cosmetology clinic. Improper use of the laser can cause burns and other adverse effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of non-surgical facial rejuvenation that has several benefits:
- lack of severe pain;
- noticeable effect already after a procedure;
- no negative side effects;
- a short rehabilitation period.
An important advantage is the affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles), expressed efficiency. The procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - it smoothes wrinkles, tightens and eliminates scars after acne.
Fractional laser exposure is recommended for the following cosmetic defects:
- wrinkles, including deep;
- sagging skin, loss of clean oval of face;
- scars, scars, spider veins;
- enlarged pores, acne;
- dark spots.
But there are also contraindications. They need to be considered because not everyone has iron health when they are fifty. Laser rejuvenation is prohibited under the following conditions:
- large inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- malignancies of any location;
- heart disease;
- epilepsy;
- immunodeficiency;
- Neurological disorders;
- severe allergic diseases.
The patient should alert the beautician to the presence of any chronic disease. Based on this, the person skilled in the art will decide which technique to use.
The technique consists of the action of a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. Because the beam is divided into many small rays, the effect is limited to certain micro-zones, leaving the other tissues intact. In the affected areas, the cells "burn out", which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Non-ablative exposure is recommended for women over 50 years of age. The difference is that deep layers of the dermis are involved in the process. This also allows you to smooth out deep wrinkles.
The skin will become inflamed in the first week after exposure. Note:
- in the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- in 2-3 days - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be particularly sensitive to sunlight, so apply a protective cream before going outdoors.
After the peeling has stopped, i. e. about a week later, the effect of the procedure will be noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, skin tighter, face looks fresh. But to achieve explicit results, you need to take a course. Their number is determined individually.
A professional beautician will help you choose the right rejuvenation method.
After 50 years, good effects cannot be achieved by using:
- light fruit peel;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These treatments are good for young women over the age of 30. After fifty, but even more sixty years, techniques are needed that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth out wrinkles.
Opinions on facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
First review
With age, wrinkles and marked spots of old age appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I decided not to use surgical techniques. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am happy with the procedure, I went without severe pain and bruising. Already by day 6, the face looked fair, though it was rosier than usual. I can tell you have the result - the eyelids tightened, the wrinkles became smaller, the tiny pigment spots disappeared, but the big ones just turned pale. I will repeat the process later.
Second review
I am afraid of plastic surgery, so I cared for my skin very carefully. But after 50, the face "collapsed, " a network of faces, a second chin, wrinkles. I chose fractional laser rejuvenation. in the mirror - his face is like a beaten homeless one. Somehow he survived for 3 days and then got better. But he really only "went out to people" after 2 weeks. The wrinkles of the eye are gone, the oval is clear, the nasolabial wrinkles are less deep. The effect is not bad, but for the second time, for the sake of beauty, I dare not endure this pain.
