From childhood, every woman should accustom herself to proper skin care.
Cosmetologist-esthetician of a Russian cosmetic company, leading trainer of the Alpika brand.
Everyone knows several basic rules for facial skin care:
– wash your face in the morning and evening with a cleanser suitable for your skin. It can be gel, foam, milk, or cream. It is imperative to tone the skin after washing. This evens out the pH of the skin (normal skin pH is 5,5) and neutralizes the effect of impurities in tap water;
– use day and night creams, gel or emulsion to moisturize and nourish.
In addition, at different ages, additional cosmetic products (for example, masks, serums and meso cocktails) must also be connected to standard facial skin care, which will help to cope with age-related changes and give the skin a healthy and radiant appearance. However, mature skin requires special care.
As we have already mentioned, each age has its own cosmetic and aesthetic problems.
In puberty (12-16 years), due to physiological and hormonal changes, we often face the problem of acne. During this period, the skin under the influence of hormones can be oily, with excessive shine, enlarged pores, inflammatory elements, comedones. In order to survive this period and not experience difficulties because of it in the future, it is necessary to consult with a dermatologist cosmetologist. A professional will help you choose the right tools to help you cope with this problem.
Recommended for home care:
– light cleansers: gels, foams, cleansing emulsions for oily, problem skin. Apply soft scrubs once a week, enzyme scrubs are better than fractional ones;
– light nourishing and moisturizing creams or gels for problem skin with anti-inflammatory, regenerating properties. At night in the autumn-winter period, you can use creams with ANA acids;
– regularly make masks developed by manufacturers for this type of skin.
Salon procedures:
– in the salon for problem skin, manual cleanings, ultrasonic cleanings and corrective treatments between cleanings are shown. And also, if necessary, the dermatologist will prescribe the appropriate drug therapy.
By the age of 20-25, the acne problem subsides or completely disappears. The skin becomes less oily and comedo problems may remain in the T-zone.
Recommended for home care:
– cleansers for combination or normal skin;
– moisturizing creams, serums and face lotions should become the main beauty products in your care, as they will protect against dryness and the appearance of wrinkles;
– Serums and meso-cocktails that stimulate collagen production, as well as vaso-strengthening cosmetics can be added to night care, which is especially important for residents of a metropolis.
Salon procedures:
– A visit to the beautician 1-2 times a month will help to adjust the care in time. Shows salon manual and hardware cleansing, microcurrent therapy, ultrasonic cosmetic procedures to prevent aesthetic imperfections. From the age of 25, depending on the condition of the skin, mesotherapy can be added.
After 30-35 years, the first age-related changes appear – a vascular pattern (rosacea) may appear, the first small mimic wrinkles appear, which indicates dehydration of the skin and a decrease in overall turgor. Morning swelling may also join due to deterioration of lymphatic outflow.
Recommended for home care:
– cleansers for washing for dry sensitive skin;
– we include in our daily care creams and masks with collagen, hyaluronic acid, antioxidant and lymphatic drainage action, anti-couperose serums and creams;
– products with retinol should be in your daily care, as this ingredient reduces wrinkles and protects against photoaging;
– we definitely use cosmetic care and decorative products with an SPF factor to prevent photoaging.
Salon procedures:
– in salon treatments we focus on lifting procedures – manual massage techniques and hardware procedures (microcurrents, ultrasound, photo activation). For admirers of “beauty injections” – muscle relaxants, AHA-acids, hyaluronic acid, etc. Salon procedures are best done not in courses, but on a regular basis – 1-2 times a month.
For ladies 45+ who are looking after their appearance, meetings with a beautician should be regular. A hormonal restructuring of the body begins, which inexorably affects the condition of the skin of the face, décolleté and hands, which aggravates the existing aesthetic imperfections.
For home care, it is recommended:
– anti-age cosmetics with phytohormones are shown for daily care, as well as products and preparations that stimulate skin renewal – biorevitalization. Day and night creams for aging skin need more dense, more concentrated serums and mesopreparations, saturated with antioxidants, vitamin complexes.
Use SPF protection every day to reduce and prevent pigmentation.
Salon procedures:
– modern hardware cosmetology also offers a huge selection of anti-age procedures that will help deeply moisturize aging skin prone to dryness, enhance metabolic processes, reduce the depth of wrinkles, and increase skin turgor. The opportunity to visit the beautician’s office 2-3 times a month will significantly slow down the aging process.
After 55 years of age, looking good is much more important than beauty treatments and beauty products, an overall positive attitude, good sleep and a healthy diet, regular walks in the fresh air and physical activity. The main skin problems at this age include: pronounced gravitational ptosis, thickening of the stratum corneum, pigmentation.
For correction in daily care we use:
– cleansers for dry, sensitive age skin: cleansing creams, foams, emulsions;
– day and night creams and serums with bioenzymes, which restore the energy balance of tissues, relieve skin peeling and irritation.
Salon procedures:
– deeper impact treatments are shown to enhance the effect of nutrition and hydration. Massage techniques, plaster modeling will help to control facial contours and maintain muscle tone. Of the radical methods – contour plastics.
Regularly caring for ourselves, we will not cancel the biological aging processes, but we can delay and delay these inevitable changes!
