We all want to stay beautiful, attractive and charming as long as possible. But to meet the ideal, with each passing year we have to pay more and more attention to the care of the skin of the face and neck. The main indicator of youthful skin is the absence of wrinkles. And it is with this enemy No. 1 we fight with all available methods throughout life, starting with the appearance of the first, barely noticeable, "hound's feet".
Today there are many cosmetic products (creams, lifting masks, capsules, gels) that help us in this battle, many salon methods: from Botox injections, collagen and vitamin gels under the skin to thermage, etc. Age-proven methods of fighting skin aging such as massages and masks are not left out either.
Strategy and tactics
To successfully fight wrinkles, it is not superfluous to imagine why wrinkles occur, because age, although the main, but not the only cause of their occurrence. The formation of wrinkles is associated with loss of moisture and lack of elasticity due to the lack of protein molecules collagen and elastin.
Young skin has such a great quality as regeneration, i.e. recovery from damage. Slowdown of regeneration processes occurs due to age-related changes in skin cells. They begin to divide less frequently, lose the ability to retain moisture and synthesize essential substances.
To the same sad consequences leads to unbalanced nutrition and various diets, due to which there is a lack of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the body. The work of skin cells is negatively affected by stressful situations and improper lifestyle - lack of sleep, lack of fresh air and physical activity, bad habits.
Fighting bad habits
Watch your facial expressions! Constantly repeated contractions of facial muscles, when we smile, frown or squint, make wrinkles deeper and more visible. As a result of the constant contractions and tensions, collagen fibers can tear, which in turn leads to wrinkles. Such wrinkles are called - dynamic wrinkles. To delay the term of their formation should be, starting at a young age, to control the movement of their mimic muscles - do not grimace, do not wrinkle your forehead, do not squint your eyes. It is also important to make sure that during sleep the head was in the right position. Do not sleep on excessively high pillows in a position where the head is inclined to the chest: this position leads to the development of wrinkles in the chin and neck area.
