At any age, we women want to look decent and feel the most beautiful. But somewhere around the age of 50, inevitable processes start happening in our bodies. You can’t stop them completely, but you can slow them down! The beautician gave the readers of VOICE working tips for skin care, that should be remembered as a mantra.
Fighting dryness
The body’s decrease in the hormone estrogen leads to a reduction in the sebaceous glands. This is good news for those with oily skin. For the rest of us, however, we may have to switch to a heavier, creamier texture in our skincare regimen. So look for glycerin, oils, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and dimethicone.
Also, do not forget to enrich your diet with healthy fats, which are in vegetable oils and fish. Of professional procedures in this period are especially relevant mesotherapy, biorevitalization, massages and masks.
Increase elasticity
Ptosis, wrinkles, folds are all a consequence of decreased production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The body no longer has the previous resource to retain water or create a collagen framework.
There is a way out: supplement your care with active retinol and vitamin C based serums. Professional stimulation also works well in this case. This is where bioreparants come into play – injectables containing stimulating components (peptides, collagen, hyaluronic acid) and most effectively working with hardware techniques (SMAS-lifting, non-ablative skin rejuvenation).
Eliminate flaking and itching
Timely exfoliation of the stratum corneum of the skin is very important. Given the slowing down of regenerative powers, it is better to use mild and delicate products for this purpose at a mature age. Products containing urea (5-10%) are ideal for this purpose.
For exfoliation in cosmetology, chemical and laser peels are also used, but before that it is necessary to prepare the skin by injection methods.
Fight with pigmentation
Hormonal changes that occur in the body increase the risk of photodamage to the skin with intensive insolation. In short, don’t get carried away with tanning. You should also make use of SPF products even in winter, and take your skin to the professionals for pigmentation removal in good time. Photo-rejuvenation and chemical or laser peels provide good results in this case.
Control of neoplasms
All of the above factors can lead to neoplasms on the skin. The most common are keratomas, solar lentigines, soft fibromas, or papillomas. Modern clinics have the equipment to remove them in just a few minutes. Self-monitoring and annual dermatoscopy, on the other hand, can reduce the risk of adverse effects of melanoma.
Regular checkups.
It is recommended to have annual check-ups with the doctors of the main specialties. Hormone replacement therapy should be raised separately and in a timely manner with your gynecologist and endocrinologist.
LIF
Have an active lifestyle. Go to the gym, go to the swimming pool and get a massage. Not only does this help keep your figure in shape, but it also has a beneficial effect on your skin.
Visit a dentist
Lack of teeth negatively affects not only the ability to chew and asymmetry of the face, but also leads to atrophy of the bones of the jaw, which is fraught with a “turtle look.” Therefore, it is important to add to your beauty rituals after 50 years of age regular visits to the dentist.
