Food for skin

Leather, like people, need regular feeding. Healthy skin contains an ample supply of vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and other nutrients. Of course, once and for all to gorge impossible. Food is converted into energy that is consumed in the process of life. So, nutrient reserves must be constantly replenished.

The older the skin is, the harder it do alone internal resources of the body. Therefore, mature skin requires additional intensive nutrition. first try to provide the most thorough care delicate areas of the face that are prone to early aging. need special care area around the lips and forehead. To supply the delicate skin around the eyes should use special creams and gels. Of course, other areas of the face need good nutrition, no less.

Help meet the needs of skin nourishing cream. They saturate the cells with all necessary materials, moisturize, soften and restore the skin.


Excess fat cream and wash with cotton swabs. If you do not have such an opportunity as a "blotter use your own hands. Just press them several times to face with the back of

Choice of face cream - not an easy task. Must take into account a number of factors. First, cream obliged suits your skin type. There are creams for oily, dry, normal skin, as well as for all its types. This option must be specified on the label of the cream. For mature skin topical cream intended for normal to dry skin, and universal tools for all types.

Secondly, cream shall match your age. Thus, to supply suitable aging skin cream with high water content and fat. Modern cosmetic companies are creating a whole series of tools for mature aging skin. composition of such creams includes specific components that target the fight against aging. Buy a cream that does not match your age, pointless, and sometimes dangerous.

Thirdly - and this is probably the most difficult - cream obliged to answer the individual characteristics of your skin. Here begins the real "Russian Roulette". Of course, the most reliable cream before buying consult a beautician. However, even the expert is not able to predict the reaction of your skin to certain components of the cream. For the manufacture of cosmetics applied approximately 8,000 chemicals that combine to form a plurality of combinations. Check human tolerance of these substances and their compounds is simply impossible. Therefore, when choosing a cream to rely on luck. Of course, preference should be given the means with natural ingredients.

But, choosing a suitable cream, not in a hurry to relax. Your victorious joy will not last too long. The fact that the skin quickly becomes accustomed to the ingredients of the cream and ceases to respond. Therefore, the same cream is not recommended to use more than 1 month. This means that after 30 days you have to go back to the beauty shop, relying on intuition and common sense to choose a face cream. Over, it does not mean that every month you need to buy another cream. Just in your arsenal should be 3-4 cream that you could alternate.

If your skin is already used to a certain nourishing cream, with the change means you may have problems.Leather will require normal portions of nutrients, and the refusal to respond will be inflammation, rash, redness and other similar signals. Concede whims skin can not. If you go back to the usual cream, after a while dermatological problems disappear. However, the improvement will be only external. In fact, the cream will be just hide irritation, and as soon as you embark on a new attempt to change the means of care, all skin problems manifest themselves fully. this case, you need to gradually wean from the usual skin cream, reducing the fat content in creams. Every day a new face grease cream of fat which will be less than in the cream overnight.Then, for a period at all, refrain from using nourishing creams. The first time you are likely to become small to feel dry and taut skin: this is quite normal and will disappear as your skin adjusts to the new "diet."

When and how to apply a nourishing cream? These questions only seem easy. In fact, experience shows that many women simply do not know how to use creams.

Recommended to lubricate dry skin nourishing cream fortified 2-3 times a day. Morning cream is applied at least 30-40 minutes before going outside. At night, the face smeared with cream for 1-1.5 hours at the latest - 30 minutes before bedtime. Never leave the cream on your face all night. Within a few hours, the water contained in the cream, evaporated, and the remaining components will lead to irritation and redness.


No need to spread a thick layer on the face cream: skin still absorb as much nutrients as it needs. Remaining cream clog pores and prevent natural breathing becomes skin. result will appear on the face swelling and irritation.

Cream layer has to be thin enough. After 10-20 minutes to erase the remaining cream with a cotton swab dipped in lotion, tea, acidulated or salt water.

Moisten the swab and within 1-2 minutes gently pat them on the face. Movement should be the same as when applying the cream. Then press the swab and wipe any jerky movements face to clear it from the remnants of the cream. Carefully handle the chin, facial contours, cheekbones, forehead. Do not forget to lightly rub whiskey and sides of the neck. Finally dab face with a clean dry cloth.

If the skin is too dry, apply a nourishing cream is recommended in 2 stages. Apply it and wait for 20-30 minutes, until it is completely absorbed, then apply a 2nd coat, paying special attention to "crow's feet", chin and forehead.


Vitamins A and S-essential components of many tools for face, particularly lotions and tonics. Vitamins fine tone the skin and protect it from free radicals.

Debilitated wrinkled skin is useful to arrange courses of intensive feeding. Why Apply the cream is not the usual way, but with a wet swab. Lightly moisten a cotton swab in a little salted water, put on a small amount of cream. Light jerky movements drive in cream into the skin, as if you are using friable powder. First treat facial contour, and then work your way up. On the wrinkled areas of the face, it is desirable to put a thick layer of cream. After this procedure is useful to make a facial massage.

Temperature cream is also important. Leather "does not like" too thick or cold remedies. Under their influence located in the skin blood vessels constrict immediately, worse living cells metabolize contained in the cream nutrients and influence the cream becomes less effective. To avoid this, before you put the cream on the skin, bake it in your hands and rub a little between your fingers. The same should be done if you lubricate the face with a cotton swab.

Apply the nourishing cream to damp face: with water nutrients will be faster and better penetrate the skin.

Apply the cream only in the direction of massage lines - lines of least tension. Mature skin itself is prone to wrinkles, wrinkles and stretch marks. Do not aggravate the situation by stretching the skin hands.

Person is treated in the following areas:

♥ from the middle of the chin to the ear lobes;

♥ from the corners of the mouth to the middle of the ears;

♥ from the wings of the nose to the top of the ears;

♥ the area around the nose - from the bottom up, from the edges of the nostrils to the middle of the nose;

♥ skin under the eyes - from the outer corner of the eye (from the ears) to the internal (to the nose);

♥ upper eyelids - from the inner corner of the eye to the outside;

♥ browridges - from the nose to the temples;

♥ the central part of the forehead up - from the nose to the hair.

Neck smeared upwards: from the chest to the chin.

Do not press down on the skin, do not rub it too vigorously. Remember: you do not scour the stain from the wall, and lubricate the skin nourishing cream. Your movements have to be gentle, sliding. Scoop cream index, middle and ring fingers of both hands and spread it on the face, moving in directions massage lines. Then lightly batter face with his 3 serried fingers, following, of course, along the lines of minimum tension.

Thin skin around the eyes requires more careful handling. Cream application is useful to combine with a little self-massage. Close your eyes and relax. Wallop the skin with your fingers 3. Touch should be gentle and delicate. Move from the outer corner of the eye along the lower eyelid to the inner corner and then back along the upper eyelid to the starting point and repeat the procedure again. The outer corners of the eye can handle multiple intensive. Alternate pats frequent pressing and slow pushes. end of the procedure treat the skin with light vibrating tapping.

With age, a woman's body is undergoing serious hormonal changes. The consequences of these processes may not be the most pleasant. For example, sometimes due to hormonal failure on the upper lip or chin hair begin to grow hard. If you encounter this problem, you should consult your doctor. Do not lubricate the nourishing cream facial areas covered coarse hair, and refrain from using any cosmetic products containing hormones: they are able to enhance the growth of hair.

Penyebab Keriput ( Causes of wrinkles)

Causes of wrinkles are many: 

it is the inevitable aging of the whole organism, 

and adverse environmental effects, and, of course, stress.

 But before you start talking about them, should examine the body, which will be discussed. 

Yes, yes, the skin - it is really the body of the human body!

In order to help your skin recover quickly, it is necessary to first examine its structure, types and functions.Therefore, we consider the structure of the skin in more detail.

So, to repeat: the skin - the largest organ of the human body. Judge for yourself: an area of ​​an adult about 2 m2. It consists of three main layers, each of which plays a very important role in preserving and maintaining the health of our entire outer cover, and their average thickness - only 1.25 mm!

After 45 years on the skin often appear warts and horny growths. Do not try to remove them yourself: ask for help from a dermatologist or beautician. Until you get rid of these skin lesions, refuse massage and any other cosmetic procedures.

The uppermost layer - the epidermis - vodnozhirovoy covered with grease, which protects the skin from drying out, sharp fluctuations in air temperature, prevents the body of toxic substances, infection control.Located in the epidermis of the pigment melanin determines skin and hair color; it also protects tissues from the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays. Epidermal cells completely changed for a period of 10 to 30 days depending on the area of skin. While its uppermost stratum corneum peeled.

The epidermis has no blood supply of its own, so all processes in place through the basement membrane, which is the border between the epidermis and dermis.

Dermis - the next layer of skin - contains in its structure, collagen and elastin fibers. They give the skin elasticity and firmness. during the life of collagen fibers updated, newly synthesized. Elastin fibers do not regenerate, so with age human skin becomes sluggish and flabby.
Subcutaneous tissue - the third layer of the skin - is formed from connective tissue and fat cells. It is not only on the eyelids. very small quantities it is present in the nose and on the red border of lips. Fiber located under the muscle layer

Of course, we can not say about the skin appendages. This hair, nails, sebaceous and sweat glands.Sebaceous and sweat glands, form a protective water-in-oil lubricant that is easily washed off with soap and water and is restored only after 3-4 hours largest sebaceous and sweat glands are located in the forehead, nose, chin. Skin prevents foreign bodies, toxins, protects against damage during the fall, from the dangerous effects of radiation. In addition, there are nerve endings, thanks to which we are able to touch. Through the skin occurs heat, protects us from overheating. Through the sebaceous and sweat glands of the body are derived toxins. And of course, the most important in this case is that the skin can easily absorb different substances.This quality we will use in the fight against aging.

Skin changes in 40 years
(Old age does not come suddenly, in one day. This is a long process that takes more than a decade. Around the age of 25 processes in our body gradually begin to slow down. If a woman leads a healthy lifestyle and to properly care for herself, she does not see sharp changes in their appearance, the interval from 25 to 35 years will pass without unnecessary worries about wrinkles, rosacea and other woes. however, to 40 years in age-related changes are quite noticeable and wrinkles - is not the only "time stamp" that appears on the woman's face.
Let's briefly talk about the age of the skin after 40 years and try to determine their causes
Hormonal changes
Disruptions in the hormonal system are immediately reflected on the skin. Hormonal disorders lead to rapid aging of the skin. Basically, talking about the reasons for age manifestations enough to call hormonal changes.Everything else - or co-factors, or all of the consequences of failure of the hormonal system.
Approximately 35-40 years female body is undergoing major hormonal changes, especially during menopause reduced the content of the female sex hormone estrogen, which promotes skin regeneration. The male hormone testosterone is "responsible" for the sebaceous glands. Amount of this hormone in the female body does not play a role, important individual sensitivity to testosterone.
Adrenaline and cortisone - another pair of hormones that affect the skin condition. About epinephrine know probably everything. This hormone enhances blood flow.
When we experience stress, such as fear, worry, hesitate, there is an adrenaline rush; as a result we blush on the cheeks scarlet spots exude excitement. Cortisone is less known to the general public. This hormone has the opposite effect of adrenaline, ie, soothes the skin, dilates blood vessels, facilitating blood flow, eliminates inflammation. However, an excess of cortisol lead to the weakening of the immune system and slowing of metabolic processes in the skin.
Hormonal changes too complex to diagnose and can be monitored at home using the Internet and books.Need to pass medical examination, seek advice from a qualified specialist and further follow your doctor's recommendations. After 40 years sane woman simply has no right to neglect the regular visits to the gynecologist.

Dehydration of the skin
Back a bit and remember the basic rule of caring for young skin.
Care program for young skin depends on its type. Remember how you applied to different parts of the face pieces of tissue paper and then checked to see how they soaked sebum? Overabundance of sebum pointed to oily skin type, its drawback - dry type, the uneven distribution of grease - on the combined type.
Age-related change, if to treat them with a bit of humor, reminiscent of the legend about the fate of the two nations.
Life of young owners of oily and combination skin accompanied by incessant struggle with acne and black spots and dry skin type hostess suffered from redness and peeling. Long process of trial and error to select a suitable cream, lotion, created unique recipes home masks.
But with age the skin changes began to occur.
Owners of dry skin began to suffer even more: all the signs of dry skin increased, but to him and began to add some new trouble, such as increased sensitivity. Usual procedures for skin hydration was not enough, the skin demanded more and more moisture.
Owners of oily skin breathed a sigh of relief: from year to year decreased greasy luster began to appear less and less acne, skin on all parameters became fit the description of the normal type. However, the problem of skin dehydration did not pass them by, because the amount of moisture in living tissues does not depend on the activity of the sebaceous glands. Former owners of oily skin had to turn to the experience of my friends with dry skin and learn the tricks of intensive moisturizing.
Years reconcile women with oily and dry skin, which in his youth probably a little jealous of each other, because their problems always seem harder than other people, and see their own benefits from close range very, very difficult.
At the same time our epic comes to an end. There comes a time of scientific analysis.
Skin type - this is not a permanent feature such as eye color and hair. It depends on the intensity of the sebaceous and sweat glands. Over the years, the activities of these glands become less active, small sebaceous glands atrophy. This directly affects the state of the skin: it becomes drier, suffers from lack of moisture and fat grease.
Ration of 40-year-old woman must include apples, blueberries, broccoli and soy. These products reduce the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Another cause skin dehydration - decreased production of hyaluronic acid. Molecule of the substance occupying the space between the skin cells. Hyaluronan is a compound with a water stable gel. After the gel from the skin cleans, and penetrate the skin nutrients. result of age-related changes of hyaluronic acid structure changes its permeability decreases. The skin suffers from a lack of nutrients and moisture.
Thus, the skin of the vast majority of women over 40 years relates to the dry type. Unfortunately, this type is more exposed to environmental hazards and prone to wrinkles.
Dry skin needs gentle cleansing and intensive nutrition and hydration. Sensitive dry skin sensitive to environmental changes, such as changes in temperature, strong wind, not like hard tap water and soap, is prone to allergies, kuperozu, flaking, redness. Therefore, sensitive skin needs extra protection and especially picky selection of cosmetics.

Slowing recovery
As you remember, our skin consists of three layers: the subcutaneous fat, dermis and epidermis. The lower layers are formed by living cells, which has been steadily "climb" up and up, gradually otmiraya. The top layer, the epidermis, consists of keratinized scales. Finally, dead cells are sloughed off from the skin surface, making way for new cells. Turns out a kind conveyor. With age in the mechanism fails. Due to hormonal changes the rate of appearance of new cells is markedly reduced, while their rate of necrosis remains the same. resulting thickened horny layer and the lower layers of "live" cells, in contrast, becomes thinner. The skin loses its elasticity, wrinkles, deteriorating complexion. Because dead skin cells fall off in large groups, face peels.Particularly affected are the eyelids and lips. The nature of these parts of the face virtually no hypodermis. Not surprisingly, the age-related changes affect them in the first place. Eyelids droop, the lips lose their elasticity, the skin around the eyes and lips covered with fine wrinkles at the corners of the eyes appear so-called "crow's feet" - bundles of wrinkles.
Various means of professional and folk cosmetology help make the skin more elastic. Peels and scrubs eliminate it from the thick layer of dead skin cells, restoring a healthy person.

Irreversible change in the structure of living tissues
dermis are elastin and collagen fibers, which depend on the state of smoothness and elasticity of the skin.Elastic fibers are not reversed. Year by year, their number decreases, the skin loses its elasticity. Collagen fibers, in contrast to the elastic have the ability to regenerate. Mesh of collagen filaments which separates the epidermis from the dermis, is constantly updated. Old thread destroyed their place new ones. However, as you know, with age, the update rate is reduced, and the fibers themselves undergoing significant structural changes. Connective tissues weaken, collagen fibers thicken destroyed collagen strands "stick together" and accumulate in the intercellular space. result, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity, wrinkles and age spots.


The appearance of wrinkles
Visible skin folds or wrinkles - the clearest sign of old age. There are 2 types of wrinkles: facial and age.
Wrinkles appear as a result of the continuing decline of certain groups of facial muscles. Take a sheet of paper and fold it four times, and then straighten. On-site folds remain strips. Once again, fold the paper along the same lines and expand again. The strips will be clearer. The more you repeat this operation, the greater will be the fold line. Something similar happens to our skin. Figuratively speaking, the skin "remembers" line, which "folds" in obedience to the movements of facial muscles. Wrinkles appear first mime type. If you have a habit of squinting and frowning brow, then be sure to 30-40 years around the eyes and on the forehead you will have wrinkles. Contrary to advertising promises to get rid of facial wrinkles can not be as impossible to completely straighten out once folded sheet of paper.

Age wrinkles appear as a result of natural aging. Reducing the amount of collagen fibers, slowing of cell regeneration and metabolism, deficiency of vitamins, minerals and oxygen - in a word, the whole "bunch" of skin aging is wrinkling of the second type.

Avoid wrinkles age impossible. Sooner or later, the skin is still covered with folds. However, under the influence of a number of external and internal factors wrinkles may appear early.

The main enemy of the skin - the ultraviolet rays. small amounts of sun is beneficial. However, excess ultraviolet leads to premature aging: skin dries out, by ultraviolet radiation destroyed collagen and elastin fibers.

To protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation, since the spring, use special creams with UV filters. Apply them before each access to the street. Try not to sunbathe from 11 to 14 hours best time for sunbathing - from 9 to 11 am

Another factor contributing to the early appearance of wrinkles - prolonged stress. Perhaps you know the expression "age of sorrow." This is not just a figure of speech. Continuing tension really causes the formation of wrinkles. So learn to relate to reality with philosophical calmness, do yoga, learn breathing exercises, get a hobby that will help you escape from everyday worries. Be sure to alternate work with rest. It does not matter whether you spend your weekend with family and friends or sit out the whole day at home with a book in hand.The main thing - to completely relax and dismiss all anxiety.
Bad for the skin lack of vitamins and minerals. To provide your body with all the necessary nutrients, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood Eat, drink green tea and non-carbonated mineral water. Do not eat bad foods (fast food, chips, canned foods, fatty and spicy foods) Minimize the use of flour, sweet, salty, abstain from alcohol and cigarettes.
If, after reading the previous paragraph, you decided to immediately sit on the toughest diet, do not rush to do it, because another reason for the appearance of wrinkles - fast weight loss. Here everything is quite simple: fat stretches the skin, and when you get rid of too fast it literally skin droops like a deflated balloon. Not need to take any hasty steps. Consult a dietitian. It will help to make a diet that, firstly, not harm your health, and secondly, to progressively get rid of extra pounds.
Lemon oil has a marked anti-aging effect. It prevents the appearance of wrinkles, smoothes and whitens the skin, fights age spots, warts, herpes.

With age wrinkles can and must fight. Of course, to get rid of them is impossible. However, through proper care of the face wrinkles can be significantly reduced.

Decrease in skin tone, "dislodging" oval face, unhealthy color, pigmentation
With age, the face loses its clear outlines, reduced skin tone, it becomes sluggish, loses its elasticity, complexion turns into an earthy, dark spots appear. All this - the result already described age-related changes of the skin. Improve her condition helps complex antiaging treatments, including massage and facial gymnastics, use of masks, serums, creams, lotions, tonics intended for mature skin.

The weakening of the capillary walls and the appearance of vascular "stars"
With age, the capillary walls weaken. Blood vessels in zastaivayas, easily stretches weakened "tube."Capillaries swell and show through the skin. Vascular disease is called rosacea. Externally it looks like a reddish-purple mesh, or "star" shining through the skin.

Rosacea often appears on the wings of the nose, chin, cheeks. "Sprockets" can not only tread on his face.For example, rosacea often appears on the legs. However, most of the time they are hidden under clothing.Hide the same coated vascular mesh face much more difficult.

Rosacea - trouble many owners of light, delicate and sensitive skin. Besides aging, there are many reasons for this disease: genetic predisposition, exposure to UV light and other environmental factors, temperature and hormonal disruptions, dystonia, liver disease, improper selection and use of cosmetics.

To prevent rosacea, should be strengthened vessels. In the morning, wipe your face with a piece of ice: cold massage "tempers" capillaries.

Try to eat more vitamin C, P, K, B5. Pay attention to the composition of its decorative cosmetics and skincare. They should not contain honey, menthol, fruit acids, a perfume, alcohol. Buy cosmetics from linoleic and linolenic acids and other polyunsaturated fatty acids: These substances are very useful for rosacea. For the prevention and treatment of vascular mesh use funds from extracts of green tea, grapes, parsley, horse chestnut, rose.

Do not forget that rosacea - a disease of blood vessels, so be sure to consult your doctor: he may prescribe a treatment, after which you can forget about the hated "asterisk".

Modern cosmetology also offers a range of treatments to help get rid of vascular veins on the face. Among them, electrocautery, mesotherapy, ozone therapy, laser treatments, chemical peels. Consult the salon, and an experienced professional cosmetologist will tell which of these procedures is right for you.

While you are looking for ways to get rid of rosacea, vascular mesh hide help competently executed makeup.

Pouches under the eyes

The appearance of under-eye puffiness is not necessarily related to age. Bags can be formed due to stress, lack of sleep, disrupting the hormonal system, allergies or excess water in the body. it is sufficient to eliminate the cause, and bags disappear.

Bags can also indicate any disease of the internal organs, such as kidney disease. So before you complain about the inexorable years running, consult your doctor and find out the exact cause of the bags.

Age swelling under the eyes - is another matter. They appear due to irreversible structural changes in the skin. As you remember, the skin around the eyes is very thin and delicate.Between it and the subcutaneous tissue is membrane. The thickness of its genetically programmed: for some people it is relatively dense, while others - quite thin. Over the years, the membrane is erased, and the nature, and it was not too thick, in the end there are formed microscopic apertures. Seeps through the holes adipose tissue. Under the weight of fat thin skin of the eyelids droop, formed bags.

Unfortunately, you can not argue with genetics. If you birth a thin membrane bags under the eyes you can not avoid. The most effective way to deal with this scourge - plastic surgery.

However, before you decide on such a radical measure, try the more sparing techniques: masks, compresses, lotions, liftin [creams. With their help, you are certainly not fortunate enough to completely get rid of bags, but reduce the swelling you still fail.

Black eye
Of course, this is not about internal bruising caused by injuries, but only on the bluish circles under the eyes.Thin skin, almost devoid of fat, is located near the eye sockets, making these areas visually appear darker than the rest of the skin on the face. The situation is exacerbated by various factors, external and internal.

First of all, note that the dark circles under the eyes can be a symptom of an illness. Most often these are signs of violations of the outflow of lymph and blood. Therefore, if you notice that wake up every morning with a "black glasses" do not delay going to the doctor, even if you think you feel satisfactory. Furthermore, bruises can become noticeable because of insomnia, nervous tension, prolonged stress, overwork.

Greater role played by individual structural features of the skin. Some people have skin under the eyes too thin, and the blood vessels are too close to the surface.

Finally, the age of great importance. Over the years, the skin becomes thinner, and if young black eyes did not bother you, but now you will probably have to face this problem. Reduce the blue under the eyes to help a variety of traditional and professional beauty and makeup skillfully executed allows almost completely mask the dark circles
