How skin condition changes after 25 years

Many girls are in the false belief that they know everything about facial care, and in principle there is no noticeable difference in what procedures to carry out at different ages. However, if you don’t pay enough attention to your face after the age of 25, then by the time you’re forty, you most likely won’t really like the changes that will occur in your appearance. The only exceptions are cases when a person has a unique heredity, and slow aging is genetically determined. To ensure proper facial skin care after 25, you should use products specially designed for this, however, the same statement applies to any other age.

Believe me, it will not always be enough just to get a good night’s sleep in order to look vigorous and beautiful by the morning. Sooner or later, age-related changes will make themselves felt. When this happens depends on the individual genetic predisposition and existing external conditions. Of course, in a young, growing organism between the ages of approximately 14 and 25, all the cells are elastic and radiate freshness and fullness of strength. But after 25, there is less elastin and collagen in the cells, moisture gradually leaves, and this is a decisive factor for the appearance of the first signs of aging.

Caring for dry facial skin after 25 years should be given special attention: try to moisturize it as much as possible, otherwise the first wrinkles may appear quite early.

Aging is, unfortunately, an inevitable process. It cannot be stopped, but it can be significantly delayed if we minimize the influence of harmful external influences, which include:

Ultra-violet rays. They greatly dry out the epidermis, removing moisture from it, the lack of which leads to the appearance of signs of aging.
Stresses that stimulate oxidative processes in cells, leading to their destruction. The result is flabby and sluggish skin.

The sooner a girl begins to pay attention to facial care, the later the first wrinkles and other unpleasant signs of age will become noticeable. You shouldn’t hope for a miracle and expect a beautiful, radiant look at 40, if at 25 you didn’t feel the need to take care of yourself. After 25, the epidermis already needs nutrition and toning, and you should not neglect these procedures if by the age of 40 you want to look younger than you really are.

In most cases, after 25 years, pubertal manifestations no longer make themselves felt, but pimples, blackheads or post-acne marks still occur. At this age, their cause may be hormonal imbalances, so the problem needs to be seriously addressed: seek the help of a cosmetologist or therapist.

Facial skin care after 25 involves procedures aimed at preserving moisture in the cells, because an insufficient amount of it leads to loss of elasticity. If you do not devote time to maintaining water balance, you should expect the following unpleasant manifestations:

complexion changes;
the skin becomes too oily;
accidental injuries take a very long time to heal;
post-acne, characteristic of adolescence, appears again.

In essence, facial skin care after 25 years is intensive hydration and maintaining an optimal moisture balance. And if at this age you let the process take its course, then by thirty you may really not like the appearance of your own face.

If you have combination skin

Like oily, combination skin, the first thing you need to do is cleanse. Wash your face thoroughly with caring gels, rinse off foams and masks with cool water - it tightens the pores and prevents exfoliation.

Combination skin benefits from peelings. When using scrubs, pay special attention to the T-zone (chin, nose, forehead). It is better not to apply the scrub to your cheeks at all or to clean them very carefully. After the procedures, refrain from going outside for several hours.

Recipes for healthy masks for combination skin

Oatmeal with cream. Triple action: the skin after this mask is clean, matte and moisturized. Pour boiling water over one spoon of oatmeal, let it sit for 15 minutes, add three small spoons of heavy cream. The waiting time after application is half an hour.

Yogurt. Mash a couple of pieces of melon into puree, add half a glass of kefir - you get a mass that looks like fruit yogurt. Time - 20 minutes.
White clay. With this mask you can limit the number of blackheads. Dilute three teaspoons of soft clay in 2 tablespoons of orange juice. Apply to the face in the T-zone area. Exposure time is ten minutes until completely dry.
Cucumber infusion. Helps to freshen up and remove dark circles under the eyes. Wash the cucumber, grate and mix with one spoon of oil. Add raw egg white to the mixture. Keep it for half an hour.

Nettle and chamomile. Compress. Pour a large spoonful of dried chamomile and nettle leaves into three mugs of boiling water and leave for several hours. Dampen a small rag or gauze and apply to face for 30 minutes.

How to keep your skin beautiful after 25

All of the above does not mean at all that from the age of 25 old age is approaching you by leaps and bounds, and soon there will be no trace left of your former beauty. Of course, at 25 you are still very young, but you should understand that there is no magic product that, if you buy it, will make you look like a young girl again at 40 years old. All you can do is try to delay the appearance of age-related signs as much as possible, and you can’t do it with cosmetics alone. Your overall lifestyle should be changed. There are several very useful recommendations for this:

Eliminate bad habits: smoking and drinking alcohol. This is stress for the body and, naturally, for the skin.
You definitely need to get enough sleep. Going to bed after midnight does not allow the body to properly go through all phases of sleep, therefore, you do not get enough sleep and do not rest properly.
Try to drink enough and eat right. Facial skin care after 25 involves abundant saturation of cells with fluid, as well as useful substances, vitamins and microelements. This prolongs their youth. But salt consumption should be minimized, as it “pulls” moisture from the body. Include fish, meat, nuts, legumes, vegetables, and fruits in your diet. Consume dairy products and green tea. Eat less flour, smoked and fatty foods.
Water helps accelerate metabolic processes in the body, that is, in cells. It makes their recovery process faster. However, you should not drink too much: this can affect your face in the form of swollen and puffy eyelids. Average fluid intake per day: approximately 30 g per kilogram of human weight.

Walking outside, exercising and playing sports have a very good effect on the body. Fresh air helps normalize metabolic processes in the body and prevents the appearance of stagnation, which usually causes acne and excessive oiliness of the epidermis.
One of the recommendations for proper facial skin care after 25 is not to stay in the sun for a long time, because this accelerates the aging process. It is not recommended to sunbathe between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Even when sunbathing during normal hours, you should use a strong sunscreen.
Choose creams with SPF filters that protect against harmful rays, including radiation from a computer monitor. SPF filters are not necessary for night care products.
Abundant hydration throughout the day is very important. The more attention you pay to this issue, the longer you will be pleased with your appearance without a single wrinkle. An excellent modern and very popular moisturizer for facial skin care after 25 is thermal water. It comes in spray form, making it convenient and easy to use throughout the day. Frequent moisturizing fills cells with moisture, increases their elasticity and vitality. Thermal water can even be used over makeup.

Be sure to try to drink enough, maintaining the water balance in the body from the inside. And you shouldn’t think that if you, for example, have acne, then there is no need for additional moisturizing, this is not entirely true.

Watch your facial expressions, because often facial wrinkles can appear by the age of 20, and after five years they will deepen. Typically, crow's feet are caused by exposure to the sun and squinting your eyes, so wearing dark glasses is a good idea. And of course, frown less.
For facial skin care after 25, cosmetics with o. These are lotions, creams, serums. It's too early to buy anti-aging products. Try to use proven products, perhaps not cheap, but of high quality. It is not recommended to change cosmetics frequently; give the epidermis time to get used to the chosen product and its ingredients, otherwise you will not be able to understand how suitable it is for you. Typically, the cell renewal cycle takes about 28 days, and to notice the effectiveness of using, for example, a cream, it may take even three months.

Do not use low-quality and expired decorative cosmetics. Do not “cover” your face with a thick layer of foundation, powder, etc. This prevents the epidermis from breathing, clogs pores, leading to the appearance of blackheads, pimples and premature aging.
Accustom yourself to contrasting washes, but not with hot water, but with cold and warm water. This procedure tones very well, reduces the abundance of sebaceous glands, narrows pores, prevents clogging and the appearance of acne. You will forget about your shiny, oily face forever.
An important condition for proper facial skin care after 25 is the regularity of procedures, which should be different depending on the time of year or even day. During the cold season, the skin tends to become dry and flaky from frost, and therefore requires more attention throughout the day. You should not use cosmetics that contain alcohol in winter. It is best to apply a nourishing cream at night and leave a moisturizing cream for the morning.

Little tricks that will prolong the youth of your skin

Still, 25 years is not a sentence and you shouldn’t feel like a wrinkled old lady. At this age, the skin is still young and has minimal age-related changes. But you shouldn’t hope that youth is eternal, and that an expensive “magic” cream bought in a store will help you get rid of wrinkles. The aging process can only be slowed down. To do this, you need not only to use cosmetics, but also to reconsider your lifestyle. Here are a few secrets to beautiful, healthy, well-groomed skin.

Let's take a closer look at them.

A healthy lifestyle involves giving up bad habits (nicotine and alcohol have a detrimental effect on the entire body and the condition of the epidermis in particular). Don't forget that you need to go to bed before midnight. This is the most favorable time for healthy and proper passage of all phases of sleep.
Proper balanced nutrition and plenty of drinking saturate cells with useful substances, helping them to recover faster. The daily diet should be varied and contain large amounts of vitamins and various microelements.
Pay special attention to fish, meat, dairy products, legumes, nuts, fruits and vegetables.
Take a closer look at the avocado. This is not only a healthy fruit, but also an excellent ingredient for nourishing masks.
Avoid fast foods and exclude smoked, fried, salted and starchy foods from your menu.
Make friends with green tea (by the way, it is most effective to drink Chinese green tea. But green tea in bags is pure crap and just dust). And drinking enough water (about 2 l/day) will improve the body’s metabolic processes, so that cells will recover faster. Know how much to drink water and adhere to the norms, because... Excessive use of it will lead to bags under the eyes, swelling of the eyelids and other unpleasant transformations of your face.

Our section on healthy eating will help you with this: Diets and proper nutrition

Moderate physical activity and frequent walks in the fresh air have a beneficial effect on the entire body. When you breathe fresh air while walking or jogging, the body is saturated with oxygen, metabolism is normalized, which means stagnation in the body is eliminated, as a result of which you get abundant sebaceous glands and acne on the face.
Limitations on time spent in the sun - it is recommended to sunbathe before 11 a.m. and after 4 p.m., using sunscreen with a high degree of protection. Facial skin ages faster when exposed to sunlight.
Make sure that your creams contain SPF filters (all except night creams). This will prevent exposure to negative rays and premature aging of the skin. By the way, this is also true for those who work a lot in front of a computer monitor.
Sufficient skin hydration throughout the day. It must be said that this is the main task at this age. We moisturize the skin more, do it correctly, and you will forget about wrinkles for a long time. Thermal water will ideally cope with this task. This cosmetic product has become very popular recently. More and more girls and women cannot imagine life without this miracle spray. Thermal water can be used throughout the day, even sprayed onto makeup. Thus, you nourish the cells with moisture and prolong their life. In addition, do not forget to drink more clean water, so to speak, replenish the lack of moisture from the inside.

Many people mistakenly think that if they have a lot of acne, then their face does not need to be moisturized. This is a misconception. You can read more about this in our article: How to care for oily skin: 7 main mistakes

Control of facial expressions - due to active facial expressions, the first facial wrinkles may appear at the age of 18. After 25, the situation worsens and wrinkles become deeper. Try to frown less and wear sunglasses (constantly squinting in the sun can cause crow's feet to appear in the corners of your eyes).
Correct selection of cosmetics - buy cream, serum, lotion with a gradation of “25+”. You should not buy anti-aging products, because... they will not bring any benefit. Stop your choice on products from trusted companies whose price corresponds to the quality. There is no need to often experiment with different cosmetics. Remember, your skin also needs time to get used to some ingredients.

It is necessary to monitor the effectiveness of a particular cosmetic product up to 3 months of its consumption. The cell renewal cycle is 28 days, then the first results are noticeable.

High-quality decorative cosmetics - review your cosmetics bag, paying special attention to the expiration date of a particular product. Don't use a ton of plaster. Excessive amount of foundation, powder, etc. clogs pores, as a result of which the skin “does not breathe” and blackheads, pimples, and wrinkles appear.
Contrast wash. Remember, under no circumstances should you wash your face with very hot water. When contrast washing, use cooled and warm water. This will tone your skin, and also control excess production of sebaceous glands and tighten pores, which means getting rid of oily shine and, subsequently, clogging of pores and the formation of acne.
Regular care. Remember that at different times of the year, as well as at different times of the day, the skin requires its own specific care. For example, in winter, the skin becomes dry and peels in the cold, so it needs additional, more care, even during the day. For example, you need to give up alcohol-containing products in winter. But it is better to use a nourishing cream at night, and moisturizers in the morning.
Visit to a cosmetologist.

Stages of skin care after 25 years

It would not be amiss to repeat that facial skin care after 25, first of all, should be regular. Make it a rule to perform the basic procedures in the morning and evening and a few additional ones about a couple of times during the week.

It’s good if you find the opportunity to entrust the care to a competent cosmetologist. Firstly, in the salon you can perform procedures that you cannot do at home. Secondly, the specialist will develop the correct care plan and will monitor the condition of the epidermis in the process.

To preserve youth for as long as possible, it is important to approach this issue responsibly and be sure to carry out all the necessary procedures regularly, in the correct sequence. Competent care involves three stages.

Cleansing.

Under no circumstances should you go to bed with remnants of makeup on your face if you don’t want to notice wrinkles on your face at a very young age. Then don’t blame it on bad heredity, you yourself will be to blame for it.

Proper facial skin care after 25 excludes the use of soap for washing. It makes the skin too dry. Now there is a chic range of products for removing makeup, washing and cleaning. Just choose the product according to your skin type.

After removing makeup, you can begin treating your skin with a scrub or applying a mask. There are also a large number of them, and they all have different purposes. With the help of peelings and scrubs it is good to exfoliate dead cells of the epidermis, but masks have an effect on the deeper layers of the skin. Choose the right range of products for yourself, and carefully read the instructions. Some, for example, are not recommended to be used every day.

Skin toning.

This is a very important stage, but not everyone takes it seriously, and sometimes skips it altogether. An important rule: be sure to choose a lotion or toner that does not contain alcohol, because it dries out the skin very much. Facial skin care after 25, according to the advice of cosmetologists, should be carried out either with the help of professional products, or you can prepare them yourself, including beneficial herbs and other ingredients.

Toning is done very quickly. Just wet a cotton sponge with toner and gently wipe over your entire face.

Nourishing and moisturizing treatments.

They are also very important. There are a huge variety of different creams and serums to nourish and moisturize. When purchasing any of these products, look for one that contains vitamins A, E, C, and P. Such products have strong protective and antioxidant properties, preventing the appearance of wrinkles and the first signs of aging. The same qualities are inherent in creams that include floral and fruit acids.

The best time to apply nourishing products to your face is in the evening before going to bed. Approximately thirty minutes before going to bed, spread the cream on your face, and after 20 minutes, blot with a napkin what is not absorbed.

For proper facial skin care after 25, micellar water or a simple cleanser is no longer enough. Now you need a set of products that will include exfoliating scrubs, moisturizing and refreshing creams, products that retain moisture and stop the aging process, giving the face a young, healthy look.

All of the above care procedures should be done twice a day: in the morning and before bed. In the morning, you need to remove the subcutaneous secretions produced overnight from your face, refresh, moisturize, and prepare for applying decorative cosmetics. And in the evening, thoroughly cleanse, scrub, make a nourishing vitamin mask or distribute a cream, which will be absorbed better at this time, because it is at night that the epidermis is actively renewed.

As for masks and peelings, it is recommended to use these products no more than 1-3 times a week.

A separate item should include skin care products around the eyes and décolleté. These areas also require attention.

If you have normal skin

A feature of normal skin is self-renewal. During this process, the outer layer is peeled off and a new one is created. Women with this type of dermis do not feel dryness, tightness, or excessive oiliness. To keep your skin young and healthy, it also needs proper daily care.

Try to use any cosmetic products as rarely as possible.

It is best to wash your face in the morning with gel or milk; you should not use soap more than once a week.
For cleansing, you can use alcohol-based tonics.
Combination skin does not tolerate greasy creams, especially in winter. To moisturize, you can use light nourishing creams.

Recipes for healthy masks for normal skin

A few words about cosmetics for the face after 25 years

To care for facial skin after 25, you should have a set of cosmetics at home with which you can carry out all the necessary procedures yourself.

Clear.

To do this, use either a gel or foam, which often includes beneficial vitamins or even scrubbing particles. You can work with specially designed brushes or pads that clean better, while also providing additional massage, relaxing muscles and stimulating blood flow. Do not wash your face with soap: it dries out the epidermis too much.

Tone.

Tonics or lotions are great for refreshing and removing remaining cleansers from your face.

Moisturize.

For the moisturizing procedure, there are day and night creams. The daytime one makes the skin softer and prepares it for the application of decorative cosmetics, and the nighttime one nourishes it with moisture, healthy oils and vitamins. Usually ten minutes is enough for the required amount of cream to be absorbed.

Apply serum.

Very useful facial skin care products after 25 - all kinds of serums that deeply nourish the epidermis and stimulate regeneration. These preparations are very light in consistency; they are used before applying moisturizer, usually in the fall and spring.

Perform peeling treatment.

If young skin is completely renewed within about 28 days, then with age this process takes all of 45. Peeling does an excellent job of removing dead old cells, which, accumulating, clog pores and slow down the process of epidermal renewal.

Apply a mask.

After 25, cleansing masks alone are no longer enough; you also need to get moisturizing ones that will fill the skin with moisture and maintain its elasticity.

Treat your face with sunscreen and foundation.

Ultraviolet rays age, and older skin is especially sensitive to them. Therefore it needs to be protected. It’s good if you make it a rule when caring for your facial skin after 25 to use products that protect from sun exposure all year round. Many day creams and foundations have these properties. They also prevent dirt and dust from accumulating on your skin throughout the day. Light water-based foundations for daily use, for example, fluids, BB creams, CC creams, are very good for such purposes. When choosing skin care cosmetics, pay attention to what age and skin type it is intended for.

If you have dry skin

The main problem for women with dry skin is flaking and tightness. When caring for dry facial skin, you need to ensure that it is always moisturized - this will prevent the early appearance of wrinkles.

You should wash your face with products for dry skin: tonics for removing makeup or a decoction of medicinal herbs.
Avoid masks that contain petroleum products: they create a barrier, cause harm and do not allow the skin to breathe.

Use the scrub carefully, use light, gentle, anti-allergenic preparations.

When choosing a cream, pay attention to soft options that create a protective film, apply a rich cream before going to bed, alternate moisturizing and toning masks.

Facial skin care after 25, depending on its type

Skin can be normal, dry, oily and combination. Each of them has its own characteristics and requires a special approach.

Care for combination skin.

If you have a combination skin type, then if you do not care properly, it may become too dry, or the T-zone may become inflamed. Therefore, you should adhere to the following recommendations:

Be sure to use peels and scrubs to exfoliate dead cells and thoroughly clean. Pay special attention to fatty areas.
Remember to do the three essentials: cleanse, tone, moisturize.

Buy cosmetics containing sage, chamomile, plantain, calendula, and zinc. They have an anti-inflammatory effect and reduce the fat content of the epidermis.

Oily skin care.

Caring for oily skin after 25 is especially important in the hot season, when a person actively sweats. It is recommended to wash your face with a special foam or gel twice a day, use a scrub at least twice a week, and apply anti-inflammatory and drying agents to the skin.

Dry skin.

The initially dry epidermis dries out even more with age, and wrinkles and microcracks form.

To avoid these unpleasant phenomena as much as possible, the following rules should be followed:

do not use products containing alcohol;
use milk for cleaning: it is optimal for nourishing and moisturizing dry epidermis;
Use oils in the evening, and serum and moisturizer in the morning.

Don't forget about night care: apply moisturizing and nourishing products and oils with gentle movements in the direction of the massage lines about half an hour before bed.

Normal skin.

This type of skin requires minimal care and a very small set of cosmetics. There will be several tips:

For washing, use foam that is appropriate for your age. Do this twice a day: in the morning and before bed;
facial skin care after 25 must necessarily include applying a not too greasy cream after washing, preferably quite liquid in consistency;
An excellent tonic can be homemade ice from a decoction of mint or chamomile. Rubbing with such ice cubes is good for toning and stimulating blood flow;
Even before bed, do not use fatty creams. A suitable option for you is a light serum with a moisturizing effect or special oils once a week.

Homemade masks to preserve a youthful face

The ingredients for such masks are usually inexpensive, and the effect is comparable to expensive salon procedures.

Toning masks for all skin types

Finely chop the parsley and pour boiling water over it. Strain the broth and spread the remaining pulp over gauze. Place the mixture on your face and leave for half an hour.
Grate the fresh beets as finely as possible. Add the yolk and one spoon of sour cream. Mix and apply on face for half an hour. Do it no more than twice a week.
Summer mask. Combine a cup of water and mint in a blender. Place in the freezer for ten minutes and then apply to your face. After ten minutes, rinse with water.

Nutritious

Mix 100 g of honey and a small crushed lemon. Use this mask 15 minutes before washing.
Take cucumber peels and place on your face for 20 minutes. There is no need to wash your face after using this mask.
Freeze watermelon juice. Rub your face with this cube and wash off the mask after 10 minutes.

Cleansing and nourishing

Steam a tablespoon of oatmeal with hot milk. Apply the lukewarm mixture to your face and leave for 10-15 minutes.
Take fresh juice of 1-2 tomatoes and mix with oatmeal. Leave the mask on your face for half an hour.
This unusual type of mask very effectively tightens pores. Apply a thick layer of sauerkraut to your face. Rinse off with lukewarm water after 15-30 minutes.

Care for problem skin after 25

No matter what skin type you have, problems can always arise. For example, in areas where the sebaceous glands work more actively, bacteria multiply more strongly and acne often occurs. Antibacterial agents that do not contain alcohol will help relieve inflammation; in addition, they will relieve the skin of oily sheen.

Remember that if there are problems, then follow three mandatory care steps: cleansing, toning and applying moisturizers. The latter can be alternated with creams that give a mattifying effect.

In cosmetics for facial skin care after 25, according to cosmetologists, ANA and BHA acids give noticeable results. They help narrow pores and smooth the epidermis. You can purchase tonics, masks, creams, serums, both for night and day use, which contain these ingredients.

If you have oily skin

The principle that must be followed when caring for oily skin is thorough cleansing.

The sebaceous glands create a suitable habitat for microbes, resulting in a large number of unwanted rashes. You can reduce the risk of their occurrence to a minimum.

Limit washing with hot water, do not use soap, this only increases the activity of the sebaceous glands, while warm or cool water soothes tired skin. You can clean it with a sponge and gels that easily dissolve in liquid.
Oily skin will benefit from a massage with a light brush. The pores are cleaned if you use a special milk along with the brush.
To cleanse and soothe inflamed skin, use lotions that contain salicylic acid - they restore and tighten pores, and acne heals faster.

Cosmetology procedures for facial skin after 25

It is important to understand that facial skin care after 25 should be started not because there are already wrinkles, but in order to delay the appearance of the first signs of aging as far as possible. Cosmetologists often use the phrases “age-related skin changes”, “initial signs of aging”, etc. for women over 25.

When the process of withering of the skin is already in full swing, wrinkles will appear, turgor will decrease, and the skin will become very dry. At this stage, it is very difficult to take effective measures to preserve youth, and it will be very expensive. Of course, these processes manifest themselves differently in different people, but everyone’s skin becomes drier after 25 years. During this period, you should definitely use moisturizing and nourishing creams, oils, and serums.

Be sure to listen to the advice of a cosmetologist on facial skin care after 25. Make it a rule to regularly visit a beauty specialist. Here are liver treatments suitable for girls over 25 years of age:

Cleaning. Useful and necessary at absolutely any age, even in adolescence, performed as needed.
All kinds of peelings. Also useful to everyone and always, without age restrictions. You should refrain from peeling only in the hot season, when exposure to the sun is too strong.
Mesotherapy. Amino acids and vitamins contained in cocktails fill the skin with moisture very well, improve its condition and appearance. Mesotherapy is best carried out in courses, for example, twice a year, in the most “vitamin-deficient” periods: spring and autumn.
Massage. Massage courses are recommended for facial skin care after 25, but as you approach 50, you should no longer get carried away with this procedure.

Redermalization. Essentially, this is the effect of hyaluronic and succinic acids, which have very strong restorative and moisturizing properties. The procedure involves anesthesia and injection of active ingredients. After redermalization, the skin looks young and refreshed, its tone increases, photoaging is prevented, and any manifestations of rosacea, post-acne and pigmentation disappear.
Plasma peeling is a targeted anti-aging procedure for facial skin care after 25. It has a very powerful effect, increases turgor, stimulates hair growth, and has a beneficial effect on the color of the skin. Among the various options for this procedure, Swiss plasma peeling has proven itself to be excellent; it gives a very noticeable external result, and not just supplies the skin with the necessary nutrition.
Biorevitalization. This is a kind of skin stimulation, which is also called revitalization. The epidermis is exposed to ultrasound, laser or injections of hyaluronic acid. This gives, first of all, deep hydration, improvement of skin color and structure, and reduces dryness. Biorevitalization significantly delays the appearance of the first signs of aging, eliminates rosacea, and removes age spots. In addition, after the procedure, dark circles under the eyes and pimples disappear, pores become significantly narrower, swelling and post-acne go away.
Vaporization and steam baths are excellent ways to care for facial skin after 25, especially if it is oily and prone to rashes. These procedures promote the rapid separation of old keratinized cells; warm steam opens the pores, resulting in active oxygen saturation. You can use essential oils for this. Steam baths are not prescribed for people with high blood pressure and bronchial asthma.
Hot compresses. They warm, relax, help expand pores, improve blood circulation, cleanse the skin, and exfoliate old cells.
Cold compresses. They narrow pores, tone, reduce the activity of sebaceous and sweat glands, while the complexion noticeably improves. It is recommended to apply cold compresses immediately after cleansing your face.
All kinds of masks. Depending on the composition, cosmetic masks can moisturize, tone, saturate with oxygen, and nourish.

There are several procedures that involve more serious intervention in appearance:

Increased lip volume. It is done at will, and not if there are any special indications. It is performed in the form of injections of hyaluronic acid, which dissolves within about a year, then the procedure can be repeated if the client wishes.
Injection of hyaluronic acid or Botox in the presence of noticeable wrinkles or even skin creases. If there are no such indications, then it is better not to do these procedures at a young age.

Determining your skin type

Many companies offer to buy miracle products that will solve all cosmetic problems and get rid of dryness and oiliness forever. This is a lie, unfortunately, you cannot completely change the characteristics of your skin, but you can always choose cosmetics for a specific skin type that will make your care more effective. Before choosing products, you need to determine your skin type.

Fat. The skin is thick, enlarged pores are clearly visible. Oiliness can be identified by its characteristic shine, which causes dust to accumulate on the face, causing pimples and blackheads to appear. Pros: no dryness; with careful care of oily skin, you can forget about wrinkles for a long time.
Dry - soft and transparent. Subject to drying out, peeling, and reacts poorly to hard water. Dry skin requires constant care and hydration.
Combined. Includes elements of two skin types. The most common option is that the skin around the forehead is oily, and the skin around the cheeks, eyes and temples is dry.
Normal, balanced. This skin looks young and beautiful for a long time and does not need treatment.

What skin needs at 30 so you don't think about age

The simplest, cheapest and most effective way to maintain youthful skin is to lead a healthy lifestyle. “Try to drink more water: a healthy person needs up to 3 liters per day during physical activity,” advises dermatologist, cosmetologist and NIVEA expert Natalia Gaidash. - Balance your diet. Avoid fasting and strict diets. Remember that you won't be able to get adequate amounts of iron from plant foods, and without fat you won't be able to produce vitamin D.

Get outdoors more often—set yourself a goal of taking 10,000 steps daily. Get at least seven hours of sleep at night, and be sure to install an aquarium or humidifier in the bedroom. Stop smoking and reduce alcohol consumption, because these habits do not allow the skin to fully renew itself and provoke the appearance of dilated blood vessels and wrinkles.”

Home care

Also, our beauty and youth directly depend on the quality of home care. The main thing is to choose the right cosmetics. Many brands today successfully combine ancient recipes with modern innovative formulas. Thus, this spring the MeiTan company presented a new catalog of products for intensive spring care. The beauty department of WomanHit.ru was especially impressed by the Sivel'er (“Dragon Energy”) series.

All products in this line are based on components obtained from snake skin and fat. Extracts from snake skin and fat are unique in their effect; they simultaneously have a cosmetic and therapeutic effect. It is not for nothing that snake skin and fat have been used in Chinese medicine since time immemorial.

In addition to these unique ingredients, the products contain a multi-complex of peptides. Cosmetologists tell real miracles about the ability of peptides to work at the cellular level - and this is absolutely fair. Their use expands the horizons of anti-age trends more than ever, allowing the inclusion of natural recovery mechanisms. Also, it is peptides that actively fight nutritional deficiencies, poor complexion and the appearance of wrinkles.

Special attention is paid to cleansing the skin. “I recommend everyone, without exception, to use the most gentle gels, foams or mousses for washing without soap or alkali,” says Natalia Gaidash. — Wash your face with medium-temperature water and do not stretch your skin. At the age of 30, no one can afford to go to bed without removing their makeup. Cleanse your face of cosmetics with special products.

Be sure to take care of daily hydration. Use special creams and masks to make your cosmetics stick better. A light moisturizing fluid cream with vitamin E and lotus extract is suitable as a makeup base. If you have dry skin or acne, avoid heavy foundations and multi-layered makeup. Remember that cosmetics must also have a moisturizing function. After a shower, bath, sauna or swimming pool, always apply light creams and lotions. Also, at the age of 30, it is recommended to do gentle home peels and scrubs once a week.”

Residents of megacities today have a difficult time. Due to poor environmental conditions, ultraviolet radiation, hard water and other aggressive factors, even normal skin can lose up to 10% of moisture in just an hour. And this immediately affects the condition of the skin: it ceases to be elastic, signs of dryness and tightness appear, the skin looks dull and lifeless - and these are only external indicators. If there is a lack of water inside the skin, many processes slow down, including the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which leads to premature aging of the skin.

This is why it is so important that your home care products contain moisture-retaining ingredients. One of the most effective ingredients is hyaluron. Just imagine: just one hyaluronic acid molecule can hold up to 500 water molecules. Thus, hyaluronic acid is able to accumulate and seal moisture inside the epidermis.

Hyaluronic acid is the main component in the new series of “Extreme Hydration” products from the Black Pearl brand. The program's products also contain glacial water - microbiologically pure and enriched with microelements Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ - it works to deeply restore the skin, soothes and refreshes.

The new series contains all the necessary products for comprehensive care - day and night cream, micellar water and two-phase lotion for removing makeup from lips and eyelids. Regular use of these products helps to quickly restore the water balance of skin of any type. “Believe me: with proper moisturizing of the skin, you can not only get rid of the unpleasant factors of dry skin, but also improve color, restore skin elasticity and even get rid of fine wrinkles,” says Black Pearl brand expert Irina Porokh.

Salon treatments

“The main problems typical for skin at 30 years old are acne, post-acne scars and a feeling of dryness. If you feel that home care is not enough, you can use the services of beauty salons,” Natalia Gaidash continues the story. — Acne can be dealt with by light peelings and facial cleansing by a professional cosmetologist. The main thing is that the treatment is comprehensive. In extreme cases, photodynamic or IPL therapy will be an effective solution, during which cells are renewed due to the radiation of a xenon lamp. A variety of facial resurfacing improves the relief and quality of the skin, and plasma lifting stimulates its healing and renewal.

At the age of 30, the production of hyaluronic acid, which retains moisture, decreases. You can inject it or use a laser. Also in this case, biorevitalization is effective. If a person has active facial expressions, then 30 years is the time to get acquainted with Botox to reduce unwanted wrinkles.”

UV protection

Photodamage from direct sunlight is not always visible, but it is they that are the main cause of wrinkles, age spots, drying and thinning of the upper layers of the epidermis. “Never forget to use sunscreen,” reminds Natalia Gaidash. — If your skin is very sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, choose creams with a high SPF filter. Aloe vera extract, jojoba oil, panthenol and licorice root - all these beneficial ingredients must be included in the product. For people with sun allergies or very fair skin, NIVEA SUN Ultra Protection Lotion SPF 50+ is suitable.

It contains no perfumes, and its light and delicate texture is instantly absorbed without feeling sticky or greasy.

You need to protect yourself from the sun not only at a resort or in nature, but also in the city. In late spring and summer, it is advisable that all cosmetics contain solar filters. However, they can clog pores, so be sure to remove sunscreen at night and use a cream with panthenol and eucerite.”

Doctor consultations

At the age of 30, it is important to take care of the health of the whole body as a whole and do a little more than at 20. “If the quality and tone of your skin has noticeably deteriorated, dryness, acne or pigmentation have appeared, consult an endocrinologist,” advises Natalia Gaidash. — In many cases, these problems can only be solved if a cosmetologist and an endocrinologist work together. Then the effect of the procedures will be maximum, and you will not be disappointed.

If you have moles or papillomas, before any cosmetic procedures you need to consult a dermatologist or dermato-oncologist. He will tell you which of them can be removed. Remember that the presence of multiple tumors makes many caring procedures impossible or pointless.

If you take proper care of yourself at home, lead a healthy lifestyle and visit doctors, your skin will thank you and reward you with youth and radiance for many years to come!”
