Facial rejuvenation after 50 years: effective methods and means

Recipes for beauty and youth that Cleopatra used were found in ancient Egyptian manuscripts. In particular, for the skin of the neck and décolleté, the queen used honey, which was specially brought for her from abroad, and milk. Today, women are provided with an incredible range of cosmetics, including firming and rejuvenating creams and magical smoothing serums. But every housewife has honey, milk, and many other natural products in her refrigerator to make masks for the neck and décolleté after 50 years at home.

Features of the body after 50 years

The youth and beauty of women's skin directly depend on the hormone estrogen, which is fully produced by the ovaries. Unfortunately, with the onset of fifty years, most women enter menopause. That is, the ovaries stop their reproductive function. The body does not receive enough of the necessary hormone estrogen and the skin suffers first of all. The following changes occur to her:

The skin becomes thin and sensitive.
Prone to dryness.
Its protective barrier is reduced.
Pronounced pigment spots appear.
The skin is prone to swelling.
There is a sagging of the facial contours in the cheeks and chin. The eyelids also droop.
Deep wrinkles appear.

But, despite all these seemingly terrible changes, it is possible and necessary to resist age-related skin aging. In this case, aging will occur gracefully. The main thing is to take care of your facial skin step by step.

Why does the skin age and how does it manifest itself?

The skin, like the entire human body, undergoes age-related changes.
At first, this is not noticeable, but after 30 years the first wrinkles begin to appear, which after 50 years become deeper and more noticeable. First, the synthesis of collagen and elastin slows down in the skin. This causes a dull complexion, a feeling of dryness, and tightness of the skin. Then the production of melanin and hyaluronic acid decreases. The condition of the epidermis is also affected by ultraviolet radiation, poor nutrition, and bad habits. For example, residents of southern latitudes have more obvious signs of skin aging than those living in northern latitudes. Signs of skin aging become most noticeable by the age of 50: the skin loses its former elasticity, becomes thinner, dull, dry, deep wrinkles appear, and nasolabial folds become more pronounced.

Cosmetologists identify the main external signs of skin aging, which become especially pronounced by the age of 50:

Tired face. The elasticity of facial tissues is noticeably reduced, wrinkles are weakly expressed, but the contours of the face are no longer clear. As a rule, in the evening the listed symptoms become even worse.
Wrinkled face. Pronounced wrinkles appear on the face and neck. Wrinkles under the eyes, on the forehead, on the bridge of the nose, and nasolabial folds are especially noticeable on the face. Such skin requires constant moisturizing or injections of hyaluronic acid.
Senile deformity. The epidermis loses its elasticity. The oval of the face is deformed, the skin sags.
Combined type. This type includes various signs: wrinkles and decreased elasticity of soft tissues.
Muscular type. “Crow’s feet” appear in the area around the eyes, the upper eyelid weakens, and a well-defined nasolabial fold appears.
Late aging. A pronounced deformation of the oval of the face appears, deep wrinkles, the skin sags, dehydrates, the temples and cheeks sink, the cheekbones and brow ridges move forward a little, the eyes and mouth seem to be deep-set, the ears and nose become enlarged.

Cleansing

It is the most important in caring for any skin type and age. Moreover, by cleansing we mean both washing in the morning and evening, and removing makeup without fail. This also includes regular scrubbing or peeling of the skin.

For morning washing, it is advisable to use herbal infusions, rather than just water. For decoctions, use linden, thyme, rosemary, and chamomile. It is advisable to wash your face with a warm composition. After washing, you can tone your facial skin with ice cubes. Some people even prefer to do ice baths by putting their face in a deep bowl of ice and water for 10-15 seconds.

To cleanse your skin of makeup in the evening, first use soft cosmetic milk and only then wash your face.

Scrub or exfoliate your skin once every three weeks. To do this, use a soft cream-based gommage that is gentle on the skin. Exfoliates dead cells and prepares it for the action of the caring cream.

Never use soap or other alkaline compounds to wash your face. They disrupt the already weakened pH of the skin.

Moisturizing and nourishing the skin

Be sure to choose a day and night cream for the care of adult skin. In this case, use the principle:

During the cold season, apply a moisturizer at night and a nourishing one in the morning. In the warm season, change the principle - apply a nourishing cream at night, and a moisturizer during the day. This is extremely important. If you apply a moisturizing composition to your face in the morning in winter and autumn, then when you go outside, your skin will suffer intensely. Water and cold are incompatible and extremely harmful to the skin.

Cosmetic masks

Apply cosmetic masks to mature skin a couple of times a week. They rejuvenate well, smooth out wrinkles, increase skin firmness and elasticity. Improves its color and texture. The most popular masks for home use are:

Banana. Here, simply mash the pulp of a tropical fruit and apply it in a fairly thick layer to cleansed skin. Leave for 15 minutes.

Berry. Saturates the skin with vitamin C and energizes it. Lightens age spots well. For a berry mask, you can take raspberries, black or red currants, strawberries, and plums. Mix berry puree with full-fat homemade sour cream to the desired consistency. Apply to skin and leave for 15 minutes.
Cucumber _ Perfectly tones and moisturizes the skin. For the mask, use only summer ground cucumbers. Do not use a greenhouse vegetable under any circumstances. More often it is stuffed with nitrates and pesticides. Cut the cucumber into thin slices and apply to the skin, including the area around the eyes.

Aloe . This mask has a luxurious rejuvenating and softening effect. To prepare it, mix crushed aloe leaf with one egg yolk. Apply the mask to the skin for 15 minutes.

To further provide a caring effect on the skin, wash off any mask with warm milk. Add a little honey to it. After 5 minutes, simply rinse your face with warm water.

The success of the procedure depends on how harmoniously the ingredients in the mask are combined. Let's look at the top recipes for preparing neck masks after 50.

Gymnastics and massage

Massage and special gymnastics (face building) have an excellent effect on mature skin. Massage can be performed independently or in a salon. If you prefer home treatments, then simply massage your face morning and evening along the massage lines while applying the cream. First perform stroking movements. Gradually increase the intensity of finger pressure. Finish the massage by tapping your fingers on the skin. Make vibrating movements in the area of the forehead and nasolabial triangle. Such manipulations stimulate collagen production.

If you prefer a salon massage, then you need to undergo it in courses of 8–10 procedures once every two to three months.

As for special gymnastics, if you do it regularly, you can beautifully tighten the contours of your face, remove bags under your eyes and smooth out wrinkles. You just need to develop and select the optimal complex for yourself. There are special exercises online for the area around the eyes, nasolabial triangle and forehead.

This exercise regimen is better than exercising for two hours continuously once a week.

And a few more important recommendations

A correct lifestyle also has a direct and indirect effect on the skin of the face. In general, cosmetologists recommend doing the following:

Sleep at least 8 hours a day. Adequate sleep ensures the skin rests and regenerates.
Try to sleep on your back. This prevents the appearance of creases and swelling on the skin.
Choose a low pillow. It should accurately compensate for the height between the head and shoulder when lying on your side.
Avoid aggressive washes. All kinds of alkaline gels and soaps harm mature skin. It is better to use creamy soft formulations.
In summer, always use a day cream with a high SPF factor. It protects the skin from photoaging and the appearance of age spots.

Be sure to eat right. The fact is that the skin loses its lipid balance with age. To restore it, include plenty of seafood, olive oil, vegetables and fruits in your diet. Drink more clean water. Be sure to give up chocolate, pastries and other confectionery products. Reduce your salt intake. It provokes swelling.
If necessary, take vitamin complexes containing Omega-3 fatty acids.

Be sure to engage in light physical activity. Sport speeds up the metabolism in the body. And this has a beneficial effect on mature skin. Cycling, moderately fast walking, and light jogging are ideal. Focus on your well-being.

What happens to facial skin in adulthood?

Every person's skin undergoes age-related changes. It is impossible to avoid this, but it is possible to slow down this process if desired. The rate of aging depends on various factors - heredity, ecology, nutritional habits, body condition, etc. By changing some of them, you can slow down the aging process. Another effective way to prolong the youth of your skin is proper facial care after 50.

At fifty, a woman enters the period of maturity. By this age, hormonal changes usually begin in the female body. Changes in hormonal levels have a bad effect on the condition of many systems and organs, including the skin. To prevent deep wrinkles from forming on the skin, becoming flabby and unhealthy, careful facial care is required after 50 years. According to professional cosmetologists, proper care can reduce the manifestations of many age-related changes.

With the advent of menopause, a woman’s facial skin can lose its former attractiveness and elasticity, becoming flabby and wrinkled very quickly, literally within a year. This happens due to a decrease in collagen secretion and deterioration in skin regeneration.

The most common age-related skin changes are:

wrinkles appear on the forehead, as well as in the nasolabial folds and near the outer corners of the eyes;
upper eyelids droop;
the skin becomes flabby, it acquires an ugly and unhealthy color;
pigment spots appear;
the skin on the neck sags.

The issue of skin rejuvenation at this age should be approached comprehensively. A woman needs to establish a daily routine, switch to proper, nutritious nutrition, spend more time in the fresh air, and try to avoid prolonged stress.

At this age it is advisable to give up:

solarium and long stay on the beach;
alcohol and smoking;
junk food;
abuse of strong tea, coffee;
using lotions and tonics containing alcohol;
washing with regular soap;
sleep on a high pillow.

Facial skin care after 50 involves performing procedures aimed at moisturizing the skin, cleansing and nourishing it. All this together will help make facial skin more elastic and significantly slow down the aging process.

In old age, several procedures to transform the skin are not enough. To achieve the expected result, facial skin care after 50 years must be systematic and thorough. Aging skin requires more serious procedures than young skin. Caring for aging skin takes longer than in youth and involves the use of the following procedures:

cleansing;
toning;
moisturizing with day cream;
nutrition with night cosmetics.

If you devote a little time every day to performing cosmetic procedures, you will soon notice positive changes, and all your efforts will definitely be rewarded.

Face massage

Withering is an irreversible and natural process that cannot be avoided, but can be slowed down and stopped. Facial massage using olive oil or any other vegetable oil is an effective way to prolong the attractiveness of the face and the clarity of the oval. Instead of oils, you can use any nourishing cream, a product with a smoothing, moisturizing effect.

The Internet today describes a wide variety of options for self-massage of the face, according to the Japanese, Chinese, and professional schemes. Special manipulations can improve the oval of the face, lift the corners of the lips, sagging cheeks, and remove wrinkles on the forehead.

The easiest way to help the cream absorb is to tap the skin with your fingertips. The movement of the hands should always be directed from the middle of the face to the temples. Light stroking and patting on the cheeks adds firmness and elasticity to the dermis.

Basic rules of care:

facial cleansing should be done after waking up and before going to bed using cosmetic products that do not contain aggressive components;
it is necessary to regularly moisturize the skin using folk or professional remedies;
you need to give preference to those products that contain vitamins and other useful elements;
Cosmetics should be chosen carefully, giving preference to products intended for people in the older age group.

Modern cosmetics manufacturers do not just indicate on the packaging of their products the age of the people for whom they are intended. Cosmetic preparations intended for people over fifty use the most effective and efficient components to quickly obtain the expected effect.

To cleanse the skin in adulthood, several different cosmetics are used at once: special milk, light foams, steam baths, as well as contrasting washes. Removers are used to cleanse the skin of makeup.

Who are we doing this for?

Those representatives of the fair half of humanity who look wonderful even after 50 or 60 years old know that they strive to please themselves, their friends, children, grandchildren, work colleagues, and not only their husbands. A lady who knows how to take care of her face in adulthood respects herself, grows spiritually, plays sports, and is a person. She strives to learn a lot of new things, studies foreign languages, and travels.

To learn how to do facial massage and skin tightening exercises on your own, you need to be a competent, disciplined and purposeful person. It's easiest to give up on yourself. It is more difficult to keep abreast of the latest cosmetology products and always look dignified and attractive.

In this article we will tell interested beauties about creams, masks, anti-aging procedures and other women's secrets that always make them irresistible.

Using modern salon treatments

Home care to maintain normal facial skin in adulthood is often not enough. What do professional cosmetologists say about facial care after 50? Professional cosmetologists recommend combining home care with periodic use of salon methods.

Modern salon treatments are highly effective and varied. They are based on methods of vacuum cleaning of the skin, laser cleaning, and the use of ultrasonic devices. Many clients choose to rejuvenate their skin using highly effective alginate masks or chemical peels.

You should not get carried away with the injection of hyaluronic acid and Botox injections under the skin, as they can lead to the most negative consequences. At this age, the body may begin to reject foreign materials, so using classical methods of care is much preferable.

Using cosmetology devices at home

At home, you can also use special cosmetology devices. They are not as powerful and effective as professional ones, but when used systematically they can have the desired effect.

Modern manufacturers offer the following devices for home use:

devices designed for ultrasonic cleaning at home;
steam saunas;
brushes for cleansing facial skin;
devices for vacuum cleaning.

The skin is constantly exposed to negative influences from the outside. Bacteria, dirt, dust, makeup products - all this contaminates the skin and prevents it from functioning normally, ultimately leading to premature aging. Therefore, it is very important to thoroughly cleanse the skin. Using cosmetics alone is not enough for this. Household cosmetology equipment can help you deep clean your skin at home.

Peeling with fruit acids

Thanks to acids from natural fruits, the skin of the neck is renewed and sheds dead cells - this is a very effective rejuvenating method. It also helps lighten the skin on the neck. But keep in mind that such peeling cannot be carried out if there are any wounds on the neck. After the procedure, be sure to moisturize your skin with cream.

Contraindications

Option number 1 - with lemon . Squeeze the juice from ½ of a lemon and strain it. Distribute lemon juice over the neck with light rubbing movements. Leave on for 6-8 minutes and cleanse your neck with warm water.
Option number 2 – with berries. It is advisable to take berries with sourness - currants, raspberries, cranberries, barberries. You will need a small handful, which must be mashed into a paste. Apply it to the skin of your neck and leave for 15 minutes. Rinse off with water at room temperature.

Types of fruit acids
Do not ignore this area of the skin if you want to look young and attractive. After all, the neck is one of the parts of the body that treacherously reveals a woman’s age. After 50 years, neck care should become a habit and become regular - now you know how to do it at home and with the help of natural ingredients.

Do you remember to take care of your neck?

Popular folk remedies

Various folk remedies also help restore lost freshness to the skin and slow down the aging process. Decoctions and compresses prepared from various medicinal herbs - calendula, mint, lemon balm, thyme, chamomile, sage - help improve complexion.

An effective remedy in adulthood are masks made from fruits (strawberries, apricots, bananas), as well as various fermented milk products. Facial massage and special gymnastics can help reduce expression wrinkles.

In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that the basic rules for caring for mature skin are an integrated approach and regularity. Don't forget to also protect your skin from ultraviolet radiation, bad weather and wind. By supplementing home care with professional procedures and ensuring reliable protection of your skin from negative influences, you can achieve a noticeable, long-lasting effect.
