Pharmacy helps in the fight for youth
It is not necessary to prepare means for preserving and restoring the youthfulness of the skin of the face, you can buy some ointments or creams from the pharmacy:
- retinol ointment;
- solcoseryl ointment;
- Anti-aging face cream (various brands).
Retinoic acid ointment is an excellent antibacterial agent for various skin defects: acne, rashes, redness, which appear more intensely on the skin with age and last longer. Any remedies for defects should be applied to them in a point, this ointment is no exception. Clean and healthy skin looks much younger and more beautiful, so you need to get rid of unpleasant manifestations.
Solcoseryl ointment - a drug designed to improve the penetration of oxygen into tissues. With age, the pores of the skin are worse at emitting this gas into the epithelium, which gradually affects its condition: it becomes dry, scaly, the tissues lose their tone, look sluggish. Solcoseryl is applied to the entire face with a thin layer and gently rubbed into the face. Even for people with sensitive skin, it is allowed to "dilute" the ointment with a nourishing or moisturizing cream.
Anti-aging cream is a product that is as popular as it is much advertised, to which truly unimaginable effects are attributed: smoothing out deep wrinkles, skin tightening and so on. Almost all cosmetic companies produce a range of creams for aging skin that promise a rejuvenating effect. But it should be understood that this is only part of the truth. Age-related facial cosmetics can really smooth out fine lines or smooth out uncomfortable blemishes, but no product can nourish skin with collagen and deal with deep skin folds.
Such creams nourish, supplement the supply of vitamins and minerals, but they do not create "magic". They can be used in combination with other procedures, and when choosing you need to focus on the specified age.
General recommendations
It's not enough to just smear something on your skin and hope for a miracle! You need to change your lifestyle:
- revise the menu
- make a sleep schedule
- work out;
- find optimal cosmetic therapies (massages, masks, peelings);
- reduce stress.
The menu of people who want to rejuvenate should include natural products: vegetables (greens and legumes), fruits (citrus), nuts and dried fruits, dairy products (except butter), oils of vegetable origin. The first and fourth groups contain the protein and B vitamins necessary for the body, the second - the antioxidant vitamin C, the third and last contain a lot of E, which is called the "vitamin of youth". You can also buy a vitamin and mineral complex for a specific age.
You need to sleep at least 8 hours, since all the shortcomings of lack of sleep are visible on tired skin, and bags under the eyes in adult women disappear much longer than in young women.
Sporting stress allows the skin to breathe, enriching it with oxygen, which makes the face fresher, smoothes expression lines and removes excess subcutaneous deposits.
It is also necessary to contact a cosmetologist, since it is quite difficult to conduct professional massage or therapy for yourself.
Skin rejuvenation at home is possible, but for this you need to make an effort, and all procedures must be regular. One cannot do without the implementation of the recommendations, only then the skin will breathe youth and beauty again.
