The recipe for eternal youth, alas, has not yet been invented – but there are tools that will help rejuvenate the face. Let’s talk about them.
Causes of facial skin aging
Aging is a complex process that depends on many factors. Conventionally, all of them can be divided into external and internal. Some depend on our lifestyle and habits, which means that it is in our power to change something. We cannot influence others. But there are tools and methods that help outwit the time and rejuvenate the skin of the face.
We cannot stop the aging process, but we can stop it.
External Factors
Most of the wrinkles on the face, neck and hands are the result of external factors. Don’t believe? Cosmetologists have a funny, but clear proof: to all those who doubt the harm of UV rays, doctors often offer to compare the skin of the face and … buttocks.
The skin on the buttocks is smooth, elastic, without freckles and age spots. And all because this area is always protected by clothing and is not exposed to negative external influences – unlike the skin of the face.
The factors below are modifiable to some extent. Keep this in mind.
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
The negative impact of the environment.
Damage caused by free radicals.
Bad habits such as smoking.
Lack of physical activity.
Lack of sleep.

Internal factors
We cannot change them. But if you study your heredity, there are chances to take the necessary measures to postpone age-related changes for some time.
Genetic predisposition.
Chronological aging.
Hormonal imbalance.
Weakening of the barrier structures of the skin and dryness.
Chronic inflammation.
Mature age is no reason to give up. The modern beauty industry is doing everything possible to rejuvenate the skin of the face so that we remain healthy and attractive for as long as possible.
Rules for anti-aging care from 20 and beyond
wrinkles;
flabbiness of the skin;
loss of tone and elasticity;
pigmentation;
bumps.
After 20
It is strange to talk about facial rejuvenation after 20 years, but cosmetologists insist that in order to maintain the skin in good condition, skin care must be regular and of high quality at any age.
What happens to our face at 20? The skin looks firm, radiant and fresh, without any hint of wrinkles. But only if it is properly cared for:
regularly clean in the morning and evening;
carry out a deeper cleansing procedure at least once a month;
moisturize;
protect from ultraviolet radiation;
solve possible problems (imperfections, black spots, etc.) by suitable means.
Maintaining the water balance of the skin, not only at the age of 20, but at any age, is the key to its elasticity, tone and youthful appearance.
After 30
After 30 years, the skin requires much more attention. The processes of synthesis of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid are naturally slowed down – everything that provides it with a young and radiant appearance. Due to the fact that the processes of synthesis of useful substances gradually slow down, the first signs of age begin to appear (but it should be borne in mind that everything is individual):
the first wrinkles around the eyes are indicated;
sleepless nights make themselves felt with swelling under the eyes and bruises;
after sleeping, creases remain on the skin from contact with the pillow.
After 40
the skin loses elasticity and tone;
superficial wrinkles become deeper;
under the eyes, in addition to wrinkles, shadows lie, and swelling becomes more common than 5-7 years ago.
After 50
The good news is that today’s 50-year-old women can easily outperform 40-year-olds and even 30-year-olds. But on condition that they regularly and thoughtfully take care of themselves, they choose the right care for themselves that will help rejuvenate their face. The news is a little worse: the quality of the skin naturally changes. And usually by the age of 50 you can observe the following:
the tone and turgor of the skin decreases (by the way, it has been noticed that this is primarily noticeable on the earlobes);
facial features lose sharpness and clarity;
the face loses the very volume that visually makes it young;
the skin gradually thins and becomes drier;
pigmentation appears not only on the face, but also on the hands.
