Often, girls begin to think about age-related care only after the first deep wrinkles have appeared. But, as you know, it is easier to prevent age-related changes than to fight them later. Moreover, if you take care of your skin and protect it every day from a young age, the risk of premature wrinkles is reduced many times over.
A healthy lifestyle will reduce the risk of premature skin aging
“Until the age of 30, the skin still retains its elasticity well, so few girls think about the changes taking place in it,” says Elena Grishechkina, leading specialist of the Clinique brand. “But we have to admit that from the age of 20, the production of collagen and elastin is already starting to slow down.” It is from this age that problems such as a dull complexion and mimic wrinkles appear. At the same time, according to modern scientists, the formation of one wrinkle takes 15 to 20 years. Thus, according to Elena Grishechkina, early wrinkles take their roots from childhood. But there are other factors that aggravate age-related problems: hormones, heredity, active facial expressions, as well as improper skin care and an unhealthy lifestyle …
Regular hydration of the skin will prevent the appearance of wrinkles
“Of course, heredity plays an important role in skin aging, but wrinkles often appear due to the lack of regular skin care and protection,” says Sergey Khachaturyan, lead training manager of the Shiseido brand. And according to Elena Grishechkina, the rate of skin aging depends on the lifestyle. Smoking, constant stress, unhealthy diet are other enemies of youth. Well, the most important factor that negatively affects the skin is, of course, ultraviolet light. “Worst of all, according to the latest data from scientists, in the last 75 years we have been exposed to much more solar radiation than before! – says Elena Grishechkina. “Therefore, it is imperative to apply a protective agent!” As you know, the sun not only contributes to the appearance of pigmentation, but also deprives the surface of the skin of natural moisture, and if this deficiency is not replenished during the day, then the skin condition will noticeably deteriorate. In this case, it is important to use not only moisturizers and masks, but also drink at least five glasses of water a day. Then the skin will thank you: it will be smooth and elastic, and the complexion will be healthy and radiant.
Noticing the first wrinkle, many girls immediately start buying anti-aging cosmetics. “You don’t need to do that,” says Elena Leontyeva, a cosmetologist at Cosmotheca. – In case of an age problem, it is better to purchase products that contain argireline, hibiscus extract, gamma-aminobutyric acid. These substances will help to relax the mimic muscles and thereby smooth out wrinkles, ”explains Elena Leontyeva. Elena Grishechkina agrees with her: “Small wrinkles can primarily be caused by dryness and dehydration of the skin, respectively, it is better to eliminate this problem with the help of moisturizers. And anti-aging creams and masks are aimed at restoring collagen and elastin, so it is not recommended to use them until the age of 30 ”. However, as well as resorting to serious cosmetic procedures, for example, Botox injections. According to doctors and cosmetologists, this can only worsen the condition of the skin in the future. But massage and light peels will be beneficial!
