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.
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:
- Cleaning;
- tonify
- moisturizing;
- Nutrition.
2 times a week it is worth doing nourishing masks, as well as combining self-massage and gymnastics for the facial muscles.
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:
- Remove products that dry the skin - alkaline foams for washing, lotions containing alcohol;
- Buy protective cosmetics to protect the skin from the negative effects of the sun, wind and frost.
- Replace conventional creams and tonics with anti-aging products.
For cleansing and toning you will need:
- foam or gel for washing with neutral pH;
- Scrub-Gommage (apply 1 time in 7-14 days, depending on skin type);
- micellar water;
- non-alcoholic tonic.
It is useful to wipe the face with ice cubes - it tightens 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 skin of the eyelids, but for the neck you can use the same products as for the face. It is not necessary to buy an expensive cream, medium-priced means are also suitable.
Good antiaging creams contain:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- coenzyme Q10;
- peptides;
- hyaluronic acid;
- collagen.
You can buy ready-made masks or make your own. After 50 years, masks with oils, honey, fresh vegetables and fruits are useful. Home remedies with starch, gelatin and homemade egg white are used for tightening.
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 tricks:
- Stroke. Light stroking movements are carried out in the direction of the lines with the 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 the 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 session, the face is dusted with sterile talcum powder - this is necessary to prevent fingers from slipping over the skin.
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.
An effective way to rejuvenate the face without injections and surgeries is gymnastics for the facial muscles. Learning exercises at home is not difficult, the main thing is that classes are regular.
There are different exercises. Here's one of them (do each move 10 times):
- Inhale air into your mouth and distill it in a circular motion from one cheek to the other as if you are rolling a ball. First clockwise, then counterclockwise.
- Press the corners of your lips firmly with your fingers. Pull your lips forward as if about to kiss someone, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Use your fingers (with your eyelids closed) to press the outer corners of your eyes. Open your eyes as wide as possible and raise your eyebrows slightly. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lower your eyelids and relax your muscles.
- Place three fingers on the area between the eyebrows and press firmly. Try to draw your eyebrows together, frown, and overcome the resistance of your fingers.
- Open your mouth and try to pull your lips inward as if you're hiding them behind your teeth. This movement lifts the chin.
- Press the corners of your lips with your fingers and try to smile broadly.
- Draw your cheeks inward and then blow them out with air.
Burning of the skin may occur during sport. This is normal as the muscles work and contract.
The salons offer various options for rejuvenation after 55 without surgery. These are both traditional methods (massage, masks) and new methods (introduction of fillers, hardware exposure).
The essence of the technique of non-surgical face and neck rejuvenation consists in the performance of skin punctures and the introduction of synthetic threads, which form a reinforcing frame. The effect of the procedure field lasts for 3-4 years.
Raising with threads is recommended for sagging cheeks, the formation of a second chin, changes in the contour of the face, the appearance of wrinkles.
For the manufacture of threads, polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold are used. The diameter of the threads does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. Once inserted, the thread cannot be felt and is not visible to others.
The essence of this procedure is to expose the skin to pulsed light. Radiation is a quantum flux delivered by bursts. The wavelength used is 400–1400 nm. The effect of the procedure does not appear immediately, but 6-8 weeks after the course is completed. During this time, the collagen structure and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened and fine lines are smoothed.
Light energy heats tissues and destroys light-sensitive substances. In order to:
- Age spots disappear, complexion improves;
- turgor increases;
- the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is promoted.
The technique is not suitable for getting rid of all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to eliminate deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that can reverse aging. The bottom line is the impact on the epidermis with a laser. The top layer of cells is evaporated, which stimulates regeneration processes.
Grinding is one of the variants of peeling. But the effect is carried out in the deep layers, compared to acid peeling. Only a captain who has a certificate can perform the procedure.
This is a hardware procedure based on infrared exposure of the deep layers of the skin. It is performed using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The flow of energy heats the deep layers of the skin to compression temperature. This tightens the stretched collagen fibers, which creates a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, cleavage and other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
An injection procedure, the essence of which is the introduction of special "cocktails" under the skin. The preparations contain hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
With the introduction of mesococktails come the following changes:
- age spots disappear;
- improves complexion;
- dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed;
- Relief is leveled.
Drugs are administered with very thin needles. A lot of microtraumas occur, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and improve blood microcirculation.
When planning non-surgical rejuvenation, many women opt for injection procedures. In cosmetology, various preparations for injection into the skin are used:
- hyaluronic acid in combination with peptides;
- botulinum toxin;
- Calcium Collagen Hydroxyapatite.
Selected drugs are given by injection. Very thin hypodermic needles are used.
Face and neck rejuvenation is carried out by introducing special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure, the face takes on a fresh look, wrinkles and acne scars disappear. The technique stimulates the production of collagen.
A home alternative to ozone therapy is a hydrogen peroxide facial. However, external exposure is less effective than the injection technique.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of effectiveness, the procedure can be compared to using stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and cheaper.
It is necessary to carry out the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the appropriate certificates. Use of the laser by a layperson may result in burns and other adverse effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery, which has many advantages:
- lack of severe pain;
- noticeable effect even after a procedure;
- no negative side effects;
- a short rehabilitation period.
An important advantage is an affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles) with pronounced efficiency. The procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - smoothes wrinkles, tightens, eliminates post-acne scars.
Fractional laser exposure is recommended for the following cosmetic defects:
- wrinkles, including deeper;
- sagging skin, loss of a clear facial oval;
- scars, scars, spider veins;
- enlarged pores, acne;
- dark spots.
But there are also contraindications. They must be taken into account, because by the age of fifty not everyone has iron health. It is forbidden to perform laser rejuvenation under such circumstances:
- large inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- malignant neoplasms of any localization;
- heart disease;
- Epilepsy;
- immunodeficiency state;
- neurological disorders;
- severe allergic diseases.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist about chronic diseases. On this basis, the specialist decides which technique can be used.
The technique consists in the action of a laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. Because the beam is split into many small beams, it only affects specific micro-zones, leaving the rest of the tissue intact. 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 the deep layers of the dermis are involved in the process. This can also smooth deep wrinkles.
In the first week 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 before going outside.
After the peeling stops, that is, after about a week, 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 go through a series of sessions. Their number is determined individually.
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 treatments are good for young women aged 30+. After fifty and even more so after sixty, techniques are in demand that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth out wrinkles.
Reviews of facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
First review
With age, wrinkles and pronounced age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I chose non-surgical techniques. 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.
Second review
I'm afraid of cosmetic surgery, so I took very good care of 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.
