How to care for your face after 40 years

Beauty is one of the most important virtues, which is put on a par with intellectual abilities and strength of character. Therefore, even after 40 years, most women try to maintain their beauty. And one of the main signs of a beautiful woman is a healthy and clean skin of the face, which reflects all the habits and lifestyle of a woman.

Wrinkles, swelling and other signs of skin aging at age 40

40 years is a special age for a woman, since it is at the age of 40-45 that hormonal changes take place in the female body, metabolism is disturbed, and some processes begin to occur in a different way. All this, of course, is reflected in the condition of the skin. The skin becomes thinner, and because it becomes thinner and looser, it loses moisture very quickly. The skin of the face often becomes drier, this gives way to the appearance of small and then large wrinkles.

In addition, thinned, aging skin becomes prone to edema, since the vital processes in cells are also disrupted. The cells of the epidermis are renewed much more slowly, water with harmful substances stagnates and forms edema.

Also, an external sign of skin aging is pigmentation and the appearance of "stars", which are very clearly visible on thinned skin.

All these signs must be eliminated. This can be done thanks to modern means and procedures.

Acne on the face at 40

Acne is a natural problem only in adolescence and young age, when the body grows, changes, adapts. Then the fight against acne is mainly local in nature (the use of lotions, creams, medicinal ointments). At an older age, and even more so at 40, acne is already a consequence of a malfunction in the body. They may appear due to hormonal disruption, due to abortion, due to malfunctioning of the genitals.

Also, a woman's lifestyle (active or passive) and bad habits are of great importance.

If at the age of 40 you have acne and inflammation on your face, then you should focus on the overall health of the body. Local impact can also help here, but, as you know, “a beautiful woman is a healthy woman”, and the condition of your body is much more important than the condition of the skin in particular.

Facial treatments after 40 years

After 40 years, facial skin care for many women is divided into home and salon.

At home it is necessary first of all to moisturize and cleanse the skin, and this should be done daily. It is with constant intervention in the aging process of the skin that you can change its appearance for the better.

Moisturizing at home - using creams, oils, masks. Cleansing - Using gels, toners, and other cleansers. Particular emphasis is placed on a cleanser such as a scrub or exfoliation. This procedure not only actively cleanses the skin with mechanical action (scrubbing crumbs), but also contributes to the saturation of the skin with nutrients, since keratinized cells disappear, and the production of new epidermal cells begins.

But it is worth remembering that with mechanical peeling we remove only the upper layer of cells, and for a deeper cleansing, the intervention of a cosmetologist is necessary.

In beauty salons, you will also be offered several types of peeling, which we will discuss at the end of the article.

In addition, hardware procedures should be distinguished from procedures for aging skin. Usually, all procedures are based on the introduction of any beneficial substances under the skin or on the use of laser and radio waves of a certain length, which act on the skin from the outside, transforming it.

In addition to hardware in beauty salons, of course, manual procedures are also used, such as massage. We will discuss this below.

How to tighten your face after 40 years

The problem for women over 40 is a gradual loss of skin firmness. These are the consequences of a lack of collagen. Collagen is a kind of protein that fills all the spaces between cells and ensures the uniformity of tissues, especially the skin. Without collagen, the skin becomes loose, thin, and less firm.

To tighten your face after 40 years, you need:

• choose the right diet, because collagen is an animal protein that is also found in food;
• use skin care products that promote collagen production;
• use collagen-promoting ingredients at home ( face masks);
• to do a facial massage, which improves the condition of the skin, activates the processes of skin regeneration;
• do facial gymnastics, thanks to which the muscles on the face will become stronger and the skin more elastic.

How to rejuvenate your face at 40

If all the conditions described above are met, you will be able to tighten the skin of your face, which will have a very positive effect on its appearance and your sense of self. After all, it is the flabbiness and looseness of the skin that is associated with aging and wilting. Therefore, as soon as you see that the skin has tightened, you will immediately realize that you have begun to look younger.

In addition to skin elasticity, its appearance is greatly influenced by color - an even complexion is associated with young and healthy skin.

Home remedies (masks made from useful natural ingredients), store-bought (special creams), as well as facial massage, which must be performed in accordance with the rules, also help to achieve an even complexion, otherwise you may not only not improve the condition of the skin, but also stretch it ...

Gymnastics for the face 40 years old

Gymnastics is a load on the muscles of the face. Just like sports, gymnastics can not only tighten the face, but also slightly change its shape (highlight the cheekbones, create a kind of "relief" of the face).

Gymnastics for the face is a multi-repetitive movement that creates stress on certain parts of the face.

For example, one of the most effective exercises for highlighting the cheekbones and tightening the skin of the face under the eyes is to pull in the cheeks, while keeping them in this state for as long as possible, and from the inside, press on each cheek with your tongue. You will feel muscle resistance, then a feeling of fatigue in the cheek area, and later you will notice the result.

To combat wrinkles and sagging skin around the mouth, I use simple lip movements: first, bring the lips into a "tube", and then "pull" the lips over the teeth and hold them in this position for several seconds.

These exercises are even used as a warm-up for actors and presenters, and with regular use, these and other exercises can tone the muscles of your face. Facial gymnastics takes patience, regularity, and time if you want noticeable results.

Japanese Facial Massage For 40 Years

Japan is famous for its beauty secrets that have been passed down from generation to generation and are considered highly effective.

Japanese massage also belongs to such rituals that can make a woman younger. Today it is a popular massage technique with many female fans.

Japanese massage is called Asahi and consists in a rather rough effect on the skin with the fingers. The secret of this technique lies in the fact that attention is focused not only on maintaining the elasticity of the skin. The massage actively affects the muscles of the face, the lymphatic, circulatory system, as well as bone tissue. With the help of this procedure, Japanese women "make" themselves an oval of the face, which puts Asahi's massage on the same level as lifting. Japanese massage can be done by yourself, but cosmetologists recommend contacting a professional specialist.

Salon facial treatments after 40 years

After 40 years, there are not enough caring products. Professional maintenance of the beauty of your skin is essential.

In beauty salons today there is a huge spectrum for restoring both the youthfulness of the skin and its natural properties.

The most commonly used procedures include peeling... The effect of this procedure is understandable for women, does not cause fear and doubt. The peeling procedure also has several types.

The second type of procedures for women from 40 years old is the use of various injections, which are injected under the skin and restore the necessary qualities of our skin.

These two types of treatments are the most popular. They really allow you to achieve the desired effect when taking 1-3 courses, and the price of these procedures is usually acceptable and low. These activities help many women get their skin in order and feel younger.

Face masks after 40 years

After 40 years, regular nutrition of the skin becomes especially important. It is really possible to rejuvenate your face with homemade masks. After all, the main component that keeps our skin youthful is collagen, which we have already mentioned above. This protein is also found in ingredients from which we can prepare a nutritional composition for skin rejuvenation.

Most often, anti-aging masks at home are made from fruits, vegetables, dairy products, aloe and lemon juices, olive oil and berry fruits. Of the fruits, bananas, peaches, grapefruits are most often used; from vegetables - potatoes and cucumbers; from dairy products - homemade cottage cheese with high fat content, yoghurt and milk.

Also, masks and scrubs made from coffee are used to rejuvenate the skin, which promotes the production of collagen.

There are also store-bought anti-aging masks that have a rejuvenating effect. Choose quality products from recognized manufacturers, pay attention to the composition, read reviews and consult with experts.

With regular use, the right mask will help make your skin look younger and healthier. If you use a mask from time to time, then any mask, even the most effective one, will have no visible effect.

Face creams after 40 years

After 40 years, you need to take care of choosing a new product that can cope with the signs of aging skin that have arisen.

The cream should be sufficiently nourishing and moisturizing. Ideally, you should have two creams, one moisturizer and one nourishing. You apply a moisturizer on your face in the morning, and a nourishing cream in the evening, as it is especially important to nourish actively regenerating skin at night.

Also, the cream must have SPF filters. This is the so-called sun protection that will save your skin from sun damage.

The composition of creams for women aged 40+ should be rich in coenzyme Q10, collagen, proteins, peptides, natural oils, hyaluronic acid, vitamin complexes.

Face oil after 40 years

The biggest cause of skin aging is moisture loss. Oils are the most nourishing and moisturizing product for your skin.

For a woman in her 40s, oil is an essential element of skin care at home. This is a completely natural solution, consisting of one component, which can moisturize the skin and get rid of various kinds of imperfections. Also, the oil applied to a cotton pad is very good and effective in cleansing the skin of make-up, including long-lasting foundation and mascara. After you cleanse your skin with oil, you can rub it with lotion or toner, and then apply a moisturizer or nourishing cream on top of it. Thus, the skin gets double hydration, and makeup is removed easily and harmlessly.

Of course, oils are inferior to creams in terms of absorption rate. If you can apply a moisturizer on your face an hour before leaving the house, then you should apply the oil exclusively at night, since the skin after applying the oils is very oily and shiny. But oils do more than just moisturize. Each oil has several other effects.

At home, they use olive oil (less often vegetable), peach, grape, jojoba oil, castor (this oil is very dense), almond, apricot.

With all the benefits of oils in home cosmetology, you should definitely remember the rules that must be followed in order to use oils as efficiently as possible.

Oils are rarely used in their pure form. The best option is to mix the oil with your night cream. How much to add? Remember that oils are always dosed in drops. Therefore, for a single application, your standard amount of cream and 1-2 drops of the selected oil are enough.

Oils do not tolerate a large "neighborhood", so you should not mix many types of oil, 1-2 is enough.

The skin gets used to almost any product. Oils are no exception. Therefore, it is recommended to use one type of oil for no more than three weeks. Then you should take a break of 1-2 weeks and choose the next oil.

Astringent and strong odor oils should be used in very small quantities and with great care. These oils include juniper, mint, fir, etc. Despite all the benefits that such oils bring to the skin (especially useful for problematic and oily skin of the face), they can cause irritation or burns of mucous tissues due to the large amount of esters contained in the composition.

Subject to all the rules, the oil will become your constant assistant when caring for your face skin.

Types of face peels after 40 years

Here we will focus primarily on those types of peels that are offered to women in beauty salons. If earlier the effect of peeling was due to exclusively scrubbing particles (be it crushed nuts or pieces of sea salt), today the line of peels is much richer.

The simplest type of peeling is superficial. It cleanses oily skin, helps to get rid of acne and pronounced pigmentation. This type of peeling does not work on the deeper layers of the skin. The skin after it is practically not injured, the keratinized cells disappear, but only their uppermost layer.

Medium peeling already requires some time from the skin to recover. Indications for a median peeling are mimic wrinkles and folds on the skin. Peeling also actively fights post-acne, uneven complexion. This type of peeling is also used before plastic surgery.

Median peeling is performed using aluminum particles and under local anesthesia, as the procedure is quite painful and you will notice the results almost immediately.

Deep peeling is the most rarely used type of peeling, as it is an operation with an aggressive effect on the skin.

Peels also differ in their effect. Mechanical peeling - the most understandable method using scrubbing particles is called brosage. This peeling is performed using a special electric brush.

Also, chemical peeling is popular today, which affects the skin not under the influence of mechanical brushes, but under the influence of solutions. A chemical composition is applied to the skin that breaks down cells.

A subtype of chemical peeling is fruit peeling, which is carried out according to the same scheme as chemical peeling, but using natural acids from fruits.

Physical peeling (laser and ultrasonic) and diamond peeling are also distinguished.

Facial scrub after 40 years

An analogue of peeling in a beauty salon is a scrub that you can use yourself at home.

The main thing is to know that this procedure is necessary even at a young age, and at 40 it takes on special significance.

Scrubbing is practically the first step in keeping your skin looking youthful. After all, it is much easier to preserve youth than to restore it.

Hardware facial treatments after 40 years

The most trendy hardware procedures are radio frequency lifting, elos and photo rejuvenation. It doesn't really matter which ray works with the skin. The impact allows you to create a new collagen scaffold deep inside the dermis, which contributes to its rapid and effective rejuvenation. This will restore the skin's firmness, strength, elasticity, and get rid of wrinkles. You can repeat the procedures in a year or two.

Bio-reinforcement procedures with mesothreads deserve special attention. It should be carried out after 40 years in order to restore the oval of the face, tighten the eyelids, remove the second chin. Mesothreads are used either absorbable over time or permanent.
