Wrinkles are considered a sign of aging, however, the first wrinkles on the face can appear at a more flowery age. For many girls, the appearance of "signs of the times" on the face is a disaster. Let's find out why premature wrinkles appear and how to fight for youthfulness and softness of the skin.
Causes
There are many reasons that cause the early appearance of wrinkles on the face. Often, a combination of factors affects the formation of folds.
Thus, the most common causes of premature skin aging:
- Heredity. The individual characteristics of the skin structure are inherited. Therefore, if close female relatives (mothers, grandmothers, older sisters) have such aesthetic problems, it is recommended to start anti-aging care immediately after 20 years. The reason for the formation of wrinkles at a young age is a thin skin. At the same time, in men, the upper layer of the skin is initially thicker and the appearance of the first wrinkles is observed, as a rule, after 30 years.
- Dry skin. Lack of moisture is a consequence of the effect of external causes. The first mimic wrinkles on the face can appear before the age of 20.
- Harmful working and living conditions. Early wrinkles often occur in people who, due to their professional activities, spend a lot of time in the open sun or in the cold. But working indoors can also cause skin dehydration, because in many offices the humidity level is extremely low.
- Wrong care. Reluctance or ignorance of the basic rules of skin care is one of the common causes of premature wrinkles.
- Sunburned love. Wrinkles at a young age can occur in girls who love to visit the beaches and solariums, but do not use UV protection.
- Smoking. This bad habit helps to activate the aging process, adversely affecting the skin, both inside and out.
- Sudden weight fluctuations. Adherents of strict diets should remember that they are at risk of developing wrinkles on their face. It is especially important to avoid unbalanced diets.
- Active expression. This is why it contributes to the formation of dynamic wrinkles, commonly called mimics. For example, girls who have poor eyesight and do not wear glasses or contact lenses are at risk of developing premature wrinkles around the eyes, as they have to squint to see the subject.
- Incorrect operation. Constant lack of sleep, lack of walks in the fresh air and low physical activity contribute to the appearance of wrinkles on the face.
- Stress. Nervous tension causes the release of certain hormones (cortisol, adrenaline), which contribute to the appearance of muscle spasm in the face. And this leads to poor blood circulation and premature aging of the skin.
Ways of battle
Let's see if it is possible to eliminate early wrinkles on the face. To fight for youthful skin, you can use methods both at home and in the living room, each option has its own advantages.
Salon procedures are good because the effect of using them can be seen very quickly, usually after a few days, and sometimes even a few hours after the session. The disadvantage is the rather high prices and the presence of contraindications in the procedures. In addition, after the application of the injection techniques, it takes time for recovery, as immediately after the procedure, bruises may appear in the injection site.
Home care does not allow you to have fast results, it requires systematic and persistence. But on the other hand, such care is almost free. The advantage is the fact that you can perform procedures at home at any free minute. And this is very convenient with a loaded program.
Living room techniques
You can smooth out wrinkles at a young age using a variety of procedures. The appointment of a rejuvenation program is done individually, taking into account the characteristics of the facial skin.
Botox
This method is based on the introduction of preparations containing botulinum toxin into the muscles. Medications block impulses from entering muscle tissue so that the muscles can relax. During the period of action of the botulinum toxin, the muscles remain static, ie the main cause of facial wrinkles is eliminated.
As long as the wrinkles are shallow, the muscle relaxation leads to their smoothing. But the effect does not appear immediately, improvements can be observed on the 3-4th day and the most intense effect will come 7-14 days after the administration of the drug.
Over time, the effect of the drug weakens. And when muscle mobility is restored by 80-90%, it will be possible to repeat the procedure. As a rule, repeated administration should be performed every 5-8 months (depending on individual reactions).
Mesotherapy and biorejuvenation
Both of these processes aim to stimulate the skin's natural regeneration processes. The essence of the procedures is the introduction of special preparations subcutaneously. The difference between mesotherapy and bio-rejuvenation lies in the composition of the means used.
When performing bioremediation, the main component of the drug is hyaluronic acid. More complex cocktails are used in mesotherapy.
The results can be seen immediately after the first injection of the drug. However, to achieve the best result, it is recommended to complete the full course, which consists of 2-5 procedures.
Photorejuvenation
This method is based on the impact on the skin of light currents emitted by a special device. The result of the procedure is the smoothing of surface wrinkles and the improvement of skin tone.
To achieve the best result, various procedures are performed (from 3 to 7) with a break between sessions of three weeks.
Laser rejuvenation
This modern technique is based on the impact on all layers of the skin with a laser beam. During the procedure, the lower layers of the skin evaporate and the relief abnormalities (wrinkles) are eliminated.
To consolidate the result, several sessions are required, their number is determined individually.
Chemical peeling
The essence of the process is the "dissolution" of the surface layer of epidermal cells. As a result of exposure to chemicals, dead cells are removed and the regeneration process is also stimulated. Thanks to this, the face looks fresher and wrinkles are smoothed.
It is necessary to choose the composition for the procedure and specify the number of sessions separately.
Other techniques
In addition to the above procedures, beauty salons can offer gentler procedures to get rid of premature wrinkles:
- professional cosmetic massage;
- conducting a course of masks using professional cosmetics.
There are also more exotic methods of rejuvenation, for example, rejuvenation with the help of hirudotherapy or massage with snails.
home methods
If it is not possible to contact a beautician, you can try to get rid of premature wrinkles with home remedies. Let's see what we need to do to eliminate the first wrinkles on the skin.
This will require a set of procedures:
- Ice washing;
- special gymnastics.
- self-massage;
- refreshing masks.
ice washing
This is a very simple but useful process. It is necessary to wipe the face with an ice pack every morning, following the massage lines. It is not necessary to put pressure on the skin, the movement should be light and sliding.
To make ice, you can take mineral water, but it is better to prepare a decoction of chamomile, parsley or sage. After completing the procedure, let the face air dry a bit and then apply a cream suitable for your skin type.
Gymnastics
Regular performance of special exercises allows you to eliminate premature wrinkles under the eyes, smooth out the nasolabial folds, smooth out the relief of the skin on the forehead and around the mouth.
The exercises should be repeated 5-10 times:
- close your eyes tightly (do not crease at the same time) and then relax your muscles.
- flashes fast for 10 seconds.
- put your fingers under the eyebrows, press the skin and lift the eyebrows upwards, facing the resistance.
- press the skin to the outer corners of the eye with your fingers, close your eyes tightly.
- Take a deep breath, trying to inflate the wings of the nose and then exhale the air from the left corner of the mouth. Repeat the exercise, but exhale from the right corner of your mouth.
- inhale slowly through the nose and exhale through the mouth, stretching the lips forward.
- Put your fingers on your forehead just above the eyebrows and now raise your eyebrows upwards.
- Attach the skin to the inner corner of the eye, the middle of the eyebrow and the outer corner of the eye and now try to close your eyes tightly.
- We lower the workout with an exercise that causes blood flow to the skin. Gently turn your head to the left "all the way", after three seconds, lower your head forward and down, trying to touch your chest with your chin. Repeat on the other side.
Self-massage
This process stimulates blood circulation and effectively smoothes wrinkles. There are different massage techniques>, but you should start to master this process with a classic cosmetic massage.
Required:
- wash your face and hands thoroughly.
- apply cream or cosmetic oil.
- perform movements with your fingertips, strictly along the massage lines.
- the process involves three movements - stroking, rubbing and kneading.
- the first movement is performed by lightly sliding the fingers over the skin.
- when performing the second movement, you should increase the pressure slightly, but make sure that the skin is not stretched.
- Kneading is the most difficult part of the process, as you need to have a significant impact on the facial muscles, but not to stretch the skin. Place the three-finger pads on the massage area and do push-ups for 3-5 seconds, then move your fingers and repeat the result.
- end the session by stroking.
Mask recipes
