Recommend a cream for aging skin
I can share my experience because... Apparently, there are not many people here on the site who have already encountered this problem. I’m 42 years old, but the problems are a little different - I’m more concerned about the tone and complexion, and there are deep expression wrinkles only in the eye area (there were some). She always looked younger than her age, so she was not very concerned about age-related cosmetics, she was content with Garnier-Loreal and others like them (I had experience using Israeli Agave and Premier - not much more effective, I liked Premier, I would repeat it now out of curiosity, they have released a lot of new things , and the prices are reasonable). But about a year ago I became concerned, because... Everything suddenly began to change, not for the better. Maybe I would continue to use L'Oreal-Diademin, but I was lucky enough to visit the city of Paris, and with my purchases of perfume at the Lafayette Gallery I got samples of Dior's L'Or De Vie cream for the face and eyes. The impression from use turned out to be indelible, and I was already dreaming only about this miracle. Upon arrival in Russia, I went to the store to buy it, was stunned by the prices, but had no intention of returning to any Loreal, but began to study and try other luxury cosmetics in search of a similar effect. I bought some in full, some I got in samples - Dior, Chanel, Estee Lauder, Guerlain, Clinique, La Prairie, Cellcosmet, MBR, Filorga. Many of them I don’t even try - just look at the ingredients (when you learn to read them) and understand that there’s nothing good in there. Impressions, in a nutshell - the bulk of luxury products do not match the price/effectiveness ratio. Of all the brands listed, the greatest effect was from MBR and Filorga. MBR had two disadvantages for me: price and comedogenicity. But I have combo skin with easily clogged pores; with dry skin there will be no such problems. Overall the effect is superb! This is the second time I’ve used this eye cream and I’m afraid it will be difficult to find a replacement for it. It’s easy to find a description in a search engine using these three letters, there are 4 of all facial products, they are used in the system - cleansing, exfoliation, serum, cream. Sold online by Douglas and Ile de Beaute. Now I'm a fan of Filorgi. This is for me today the ideal in caring for aging skin, without exaggeration - cocktails of all sorts of useful things, and even with their “know-how” - a complex that carries these delights right into the mesoderm (where all our problems live). Prices compared to luxury analogues are 50% lower (from 2 to 4 thousand maximum). Here on the site there are reviews about this cosmetics, and on the Internet too. I haven't met any bad ones. And this is what I recommend you try from the bottom of my heart; you can’t really compare it with Estée Lauder. It is sold in pharmacies (the chain 36.6 and Rigla definitely have it), you can order it online. Plus a facial/décolleté massage from a good cosmetologist. This is also a mandatory program. Well, and choose a cleansing based on skin problems - I recommend the pharmacy La Roche Pose.
Home Cooking Principles
After preparing all the ingredients, you can start creating a homemade face cream:
- Always use a water bath to melt wax, solid oils and other ingredients to prevent burning;
- The dishes should be ceramic or enameled, or, in extreme cases, plastic; the ingredients should be stirred with a wooden spoon or plastic spatula;
- Instead of water, you can use herbal decoctions;
- When all the ingredients are combined, they need to be beaten with a mixer with plastic attachments until hardened;
- When using wax, grate it;
- The finished cream should be stored in sterilized glass.
When all the important points have been taken into account, you can begin to choose a suitable recipe for preparing an anti-aging cream at home.
What should be included?
The best cream for the first wrinkles should not contain parabens, various sodium and fragrances. The less chemicals it contains, the better for the skin.
The cream for the first wrinkles should contain something that provides optimal hydration of the epidermis:
- Hyaluronic acid or fragmented collagen - substances work in the upper layers of the skin.
- Fat fraction – obtained from vegetable oils (jojoba, macadamia, wheat germ). These substances are otherwise called squalenes.
- The third indispensable element for combating the first wrinkles is biological substances - vitamins, plant extracts and other enzymes with anti-aging properties.
A high-quality preparation for the first wrinkles up to 25-30 years can be found even in the nearest cosmetics store. But the best products are sold only in specialized boutiques, pharmacies and branded salons of manufacturers.
Phases of skin aging
Some cosmetologists distinguish four stages of skin aging. Each of them needs to use its own care products and procedures.
- First wrinkles.
They can appear either at 18 or at 35, it all depends on external and internal factors. Very often, the cause of dry and thin skin, which ages faster than normal or oily skin, is genetics. Also, internal causes of wrinkles include diseases of internal organs. As for external factors, lifestyle, ecology, diet, etc. are added here. At this stage, you can already start using cosmetics marked “25+”. - Expression wrinkles.
As a result of frequent exposure to the sun, ignoring protective products with SPF, poor skin quality, excessive emotionality, predisposition, etc. a person acquires “crow’s feet” around the eyes and wrinkles on the nasolabial triangle. Try to be less emotional, visit cosmetologists, use high-quality cosmetics and do not forget about proper nutrition. - The face "floats".
To tighten the shape of your face, it is better to visit a good cosmetologist. Don’t think that one cream will save the situation; you need to approach this problem comprehensively. A facial massage would be a good idea. In beauty salons they give injections of hyaluronic acid, after which the effect lasts 4-6 months, or oval correction using Botox. - Global aging.
At this stage, deep wrinkles that cannot be smoothed out with cosmetics alone and age spots are observed. In this case, some resort to plastic surgeons for help.
