At the age of 50+, estrogen production in women is greatly reduced, which affects the condition of the skin. Facial rejuvenation after 50 years without surgery is possible with the help of cosmetological methods and competent home care.
Skin care after 50 at home
Cosmetic surgery works wonders, but not all women can afford the surgery. But competent skin care at home is available to everyone. The main thing is regular and comprehensive.
Day care plan:

- UV protection.
2 times a week it is worth doing nourishing masks, as well as subsequent self-massage and surface peelings for the face.
cosmetics
The care cosmetic set for women over 50 is the same as in previous years. But the composition of the funds should be different.
To need:
- Get rid of products that dry out the skin - alkaline washing foams, alcohol-based lotions;
- Buy protective cosmetics to protect your skin from the negative effects of the sun, wind and frost;
- Replace regular creams and tonics with anti-aging products.
For cleansing and toning you will need:
- micellar water for make-up removal;
- cleansing milk or cream with the right pH;
- non-alcoholic tonics;
- Facial treatment (use once every 7-14 days depending on skin type).
Wiping the face with ice cubes is useful - it tones and refreshes the skin. It is advisable to use decoctions of chamomile, succession and linden for making ice cream.
Use day and night creams for hydration and nourishment. Separately, you need to buy a cream for the periorbital region, but for the neck you can use the same products as for the face. It is not necessary to buy an expensive cream, pharmacy brands are also suitable.
Good antiaging creams contain:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- coenzymes;
- peptides;
- hyaluronic acid;
- collagen.
Masks are better bought ready made than making them yourself. After 50 years, nourishing and moisturizing masks are useful.
self massage
Massages help to stay young. Ideally, it should be performed by an experienced cosmetologist, but self-massage is also not excluded.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides different types of impact - kneading, stroking, vibration. The procedure begins with superficial effects, then moves on to deep kneading.
Basic facial massage techniques:
- Stroke. Light stroking movements are made in the direction of the lines of least stretch (massage lines);
- Kneading is superficial. It is performed with four fingers (except for the thumb), a movement similar to drawing a spiral with small turns is performed;
- Deep kneading. It is performed with all five fingers and one palm, the pressure should be more intense;
- Tap. It is performed with fingertips along all massage lines;
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the center of the sternum along the collarbone to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the massage, the face is cleaned of cosmetics and dusted with talcum powder. Instead of talc, some cosmetologists use cosmetic oil.
Another technique is a complex massage with tablespoons. For the procedure you need to prepare two containers filled with hot and cold water, a few spoons and cosmetic oil.
The blow is made by the convex part of the spoon. Stroking, rubbing and light tapping techniques are used. It is advisable to use silver spoons, but you can also take regular ones. Warm oil is applied to the skin before the session. The action occurs alternately with a cold and a warm spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
gymnastics
A controversial way to rejuvenate the face without injections and surgeries is gymnastics for the muscles of the face. Learning exercises at home is not difficult, the main thing is that classes are regular.
There are various exercises on the Internet, but the opinion of our doctors is the same: gymnastics provokes the appearance of facial wrinkles! Therefore, we do not recommend doing gymnastics, but opting for a massage.

The essence of the procedure
The technique consists in the action of a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. In the affected areas, the cells are "burned out", which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women 50 and older are advised to use a non-ablative method of exposure. The difference is that there is no rehabilitation process. In this way, you can also smooth out deep wrinkles without a rehabilitation phase.
Effect
In the first few days after exposure, the skin becomes inflamed.
It may be noted:
- In the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- In the first 1-2 days - redness;
- On day 2-3 - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, skin is particularly sensitive to sunlight, so you need to apply a protective cream with SPF before going outside.
After the peeling stops, the effect of the procedure will be noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is tightened, the face looks fresher. However, in order to achieve a pronounced result, you need to undergo a number of procedures. Their number is determined individually.
What methods are ineffective at this age?
A professional cosmetologist will help you choose the appropriate method of rejuvenation.
After 50 years it will not be possible to get a good effect when using:
- Light fruit peels;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These procedures are good for young women. After fifty and even more after sixty, combined techniques are in demand that achieve a pronounced lifting effect and smooth out wrinkles.
Reviews of rejuvenation without surgery
Reviews of facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
- "With age, wrinkles and pronounced age spots began to appear. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I chose non-surgical methods. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I managed without severe pain and bruising. Already on the 6th day the face looked decent, although it was rosier than usual. I can say that there is a result - the eyelids tightened, wrinkles became smaller, small pigment spots disappeared, but the large ones only paled. I will repeat the process later. "
- "I'm scared of plastic surgery, so I've been very careful about my skin. But after 50 "the face collapsed", there were cheeks, a second chin, a network of wrinkles. I decided on fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears ran from my eyes, I could hardly bear this execution. In the morning I got up and was shocked in front of me in the mirror - a face like that of a beaten homeless person. I somehow survived 3 days, then it got better. But she could only really "out with people" after 2weeks. My eye wrinkles disappeared, the oval became clearer, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time I will not dare to endure this pain also for the sake of beauty.
