Do not drown out emotions, still smile widely, just do not forget about the beauty recipes that are not difficult to cook at home at all. Let's consider the reasons for the appearance of wrinkles and how to get rid of them. Home rejuvenation masks, lotions, massage techniques, the right products - all right.
Why does the skin age?
Stress, bad ecology, improper skin care - all of these affect our appearance. If you want to reset the age counter, first of all pay attention to your lifestyle, diet and psycho-emotional state. Unfortunately, aging is inevitable - this is how a person is made.
Collagenis a substance that is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Collagen fibers have a high density and absorption at a young age, like a sponge absorbs moisture and does not return it. Over the years, these fibers, which are responsible for our beauty, become thinner, the hydrobalance in the skin is disturbed, sagging and wrinkles appear.
Even so, you can fool nature a little, slow down the aging process and sometimes turn back time. Cardinal changes in appearance are only possible through medical methods, plastic surgery, hardware and injection techniques. It's expensive and not always good for your health. One of the professional advice from beauticians is timely skin care and an appropriate lifestyle.
What leads to skin aging:
- The enemy of your beauty and youth smokes. Some of the signs have an earthy color, with wrinkles around the eyes and in the nasolabial area.
- Next on the list is high-dose alcohol. The water exchange in the skin is disturbed, red streaks and spots appear. It destroys the liver, causes pathologies that not only age, but also endanger life.
- Stress, overwork, increased mental irritability lead to swelling, circles and bruises under the eyes and loss of the turgor.
- Prolonged exposure to sunlight. The sunburn ages. Choose: either a bronze shade or a firm, elastic skin. UV rays absorb moisture, dry and thin the top layer.
- Wrong food. Sweet carbonated water, fatty fried foods, foods with colorings, preservatives, GMOs, chemical additives - all of these cause peeling, acne, rashes, and pigmentation.
Anti-aging nutrition
We are what we eat. This phrase has already spread around the world, increasing the number of followers of healthy eating. We can talk about proper nutrition endlessly. But the fact remains that the foods we eat affect our health and appearance. If you want to look beautiful and young, follow our tips:
- Beef, veal and red fish.These products contain a balanced protein that supports collagen fibers and normalizes the hydro balance. Red fish and veal contain zinc, which is beneficial for the skin. It prevents dandruff, soothes and stops inflammation.
- Avocado, hazelnuts, rapeseed oil.Unsaturated fatty acids are essential for collagen production. If you include these healthy foods in your daily diet, you won't have to wait long. The skin receives the moisture and nourishment it needs for firmness and elasticity. The epidermis becomes less vulnerable to the effects of the external environment and the hydrobalance is restored.
Avocados and nuts contain vitamins A and E, which fight aging and give the skin a healthy color. Nuts and avocados can be added to salads and side dishes. Season the vegetables with canola oil or take a teaspoon half an hour before meals.
- Currants, oranges, sauerkraut, peppers.These products contain a record amount of vitamin C, whose beneficial beauty function is to support collagen production and tone the structure of blood vessels. Supplement your diet with vegetables and fruits. Combined with beef, cabbage improves the body's protein absorption and intensively nourishes the collagen fibers. The skin regains its former shine and elasticity. Add berries and fruits to desserts. A handful of black currants and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice are sufficient for a daily dose.
- Spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, lettuce.Dark green vegetables contain beta-carotene, which when ingested is converted into vitamin A, which is responsible for the regeneration of skin cells. The skin is nourished, peeling, allergic rashes disappear. These products can be eaten together or separately, added to salads and as a complement to lunch or dinner.
- Sunflower, flaxseed, grape, olive oil.These vegetable oils contain large amounts of vitamins E and A, the benefits of which we talked about above. Unique rejuvenating effects: maintaining the turgor, restoring hydrobalance, eliminating inflammation, peeling. Season salads with a few drops of lemon juice, use in meat and fish marinades. Tasty, easy and healthy.
