How happy are young people who do not think about,what is lifting! In principle, they say, you shouldn’t even think about it before the age of 45, but everyone has their own genetic code, according to which skin aging does not occur according to a clear schedule, but as “recorded” in DNA. That is, it can happen at the age of 30, and at 50 - as far as anyone is lucky.
Modern cosmetology and plastic surgery have the richest arsenal of techniques for returning former youth and freshness. Something was left to modern beauties and grandmothers, who also did not want to grow old and delayed the withering period as best they could - mainly with the help of natural remedies.
Methods from plastic surgeons
Radical and not very facelift operations in clinics, according to surgeons, are carried out in batches. Women who decide to go under the scalpel, as a rule, are well aware of what lifting is in a hospital, and do not see an alternative to it.
Usually liftingthe surgical method is carried out for women at a respectable age (over 50 years old), who have long “lost” the oval of the face and who need a radical intervention, since the result can no longer be achieved either by creams or egg white masks. In case of deep wrinkles and a deep lift is needed.
But patients under the age of 40 who want to restore skin elasticity and “become younger” by 10-15 years in a matter of days.
Young patients in clinics are offered a mini-lift - an effective method, after which long-term rehabilitation is not required. And there are no signs of intervention either - small scars are well disguised behind the ears.
To smooth out wrinkles in certain areas, an endoscopic method is used - probing. The procedure is virtually painless.
Youth is brought by radio waves
Innovative and gentle method of restoring the youthfulness of the skin, as opposed to the "bloodthirsty" surgical intervention, is offered by cosmetologists. At the same time, they argue that the effectiveness of the radio frequency method is superior to any plastic. Since the operation in any case is associated with the removal of particles of the epidermis, which, although it tightens the skin, does not affect the change in its condition in any way - it remains dry, thin, flabby.
Another thing is RF-lifting: radio waves are able to stimulate collagen fibers, forcing them to keep the skin in good shape and “observe” the necessary, even, dermal pattern.
In addition to rejuvenation, using the radio frequency methodget rid of acne and scars.
Are you over thirty already?
No plastic surgeon will take responsibility for surgery if the patient is under thirty years old. There are only a few people at such a young age who suffer from sagging skin, and they can only do a facelift procedure as an exception, if there is an emergency. The rest are subject to a strict rule: as long as there are no changes in the production of collagen by the skin, no operations. Yes, and other non-surgical methods are undesirable.
Lifting procedure involves the activation of cells that produce the main protein material that "holds" the shape of the face. And if you start to force collagen to be produced even more actively in its already active stage, then the result may turn out to be completely opposite to what was expected - having spent strength, the skin will begin to fade earlier and faster, and then you will have to decide on laser lifting, and, possibly, scalpel surgery. skin tightening.
Which cosmetics to choose for lifting?
It all depends on the goal: if you need to significantly and permanently tighten slightly sagging skin, it is recommended to use products with a deep lifting effect. Plus some patience and time.
Creams, masks, deep-impact serums work by penetrating into the layers of the epidermis and facilitating the accumulation of active substances that tighten and smooth the skin. To achieve the result, you need to use the funds regularly for six months to a year.
But it happensthat youth is needed urgently - just here and now. For instant tightening, there is a whole line of products that provide superficial lifting. Cosmetics act in this way: it covers the surface of the face with a thin film, hiding irregularities and giving clarity to the contour. The effect lasts for several hours.
Gymnastics for facial muscles
Many beauty experts are convinced that there is simply no better method for restoring skin elasticity than facial gymnastics. After all, what is a lift? It's a pull-up. It doesn't matter how you achieve it, what matters is the result. So why take drastic measures when you can achieve the return of youth gradually and without pain by regularly performing certain movements?
The authors of various methods offer their own sets of exercises aimed at restoring facial muscle tone.
Carolyn Cleaves sings the praises of muscle resistance training, Benita Cantieni advocates a mix of yoga, acupressure and meditation, Berngold Benz advises combining exercises with massage.
In any case, gymnastics will not get worse, because this technique was practiced in ancient China and is used in modern. If anyone paid attention to the faces of Chinese women, he could not help but notice how young they look. And they do nothing but Qigong exercises, which allow the skin to remain luxuriously young and fresh.
Those who have tried such gymnastics on themselves, they say that it is a fairly effective tool that allows you not to use even the popular RF-lifting.
Before you start exercising…
Gymnastics for the face is one of the most accessible ways of rejuvenation used at home. But also the most difficult, because it requires patience and self-discipline - qualities that most lack.
In addition to the fact that classes must be carried out regularly and wait for the result for weeks (although a few weeks is not such a long time), you must also follow the rules common to any of the lifting methods:
- Before exercising, be sure to clean your face with lotion, after completing the complex, wash your face again and apply a nourishing cream.
- Regularity is the main requirement. No days off and no "breaks" for a day.
- Lifting gymnastics should be done in the morning for maximum benefit.
- Fix the skin and muscles, hold with your fingertips, but in no case stretch.
Those who have had the patience and perseverance to achieve results in this way claim that gymnastics is the best home facelift.
It's not hard
A few simple exercises to restore facial contour and skin elasticity. It is enough to devote 10-20 minutes to their implementation and not give up classes halfway:
- "Fierce Lion" - open your mouth as wide as possible, stretch your tongue as far as possible, roll your eyes up. Hold the muscles in this state for 1 minute. Repeat 2-3 times.
- "Neck, lips, jaws" - tilting your head back, fold your lips into a tube and stretch them up. Hold for a few seconds. Repeat 2-3 times.
- "Return of the contour" - inflate the cheeks and roll the air from left to right and from top to bottom. Repeat 10 times.
- Anti-paws - to get rid of crow's feet, lightly press the skin at the outer corners of the eyes, gently pull it to the side while squinting.
Lifting around the eyes should always be carried out with extreme caution, given the tenderness and thinness of the skin in this area.
Rejuvenating masks
To arrange a mini-beauty salon at home and start restoring your face, you need to acquire skin tightening products. They can be both purchased and homemade.
If masks and creams are made from natural ingredients, this is a complete guarantee of their absolute harmlessness. Among manufacturers, the most conscientious in fulfilling the point of naturalness of products is called the brand "One Hundred Recipes of Beauty". Lifting with honey, sea buckthorn oil and vitamin complex from A to E - perhaps this is exactly what your tired skin needs.
In case of general distrust of any manufacturers, try making a mask yourself. Everything she needs can be found in any refrigerator or bought at the market.
Protein mask
The most popular home remedy derived from egg white. It has an excellent tightening effect, an analogue of collagen, which also belongs to proteins.
Apply whipped raw protein to the skin and hold for 20 minutes. Wash off with warm water.
Honey
Take a teaspoonliquid honey and potato starch, mix and dilute the mixture with lemon juice (a couple of teaspoons).
Leave on skin for 15 minutes.
Pea
A tablespoon of pea flour (you can buy ready-made or get from dry peas by grinding it in a blender) mix with sour cream until creamy.
On the face, keep until dry - about 20 minutes.
This mask is good not only for its tightening effect, but also because after it you do not need to apply a nourishing cream, because sour cream is a great alternative to the latter.
No matter how good masks are, they can't beat a double chin or ugly cheeks. In this case, to help masks and gymnastics, you also need to connect a special lifting device.
Contraindications
What is lifting at home? By and large, this is just regular skin care that does not allow it to age. It is necessary to start taking care of the face according to a special lifting program, noticing the first age-related changes - usually they do not happen before a person turns 30.
But even the most harmless tightening masks, not to mention ultrasonic lifting or other expensive professional methods, have a number of contraindications:
- too young;
- obesity;
- presence of open wounds and sores on the skin of the face;
- diseases of the skin or blood vessels;
- intolerance to one or more components of the mask.
What should I do if one of these items is present and a tightening is needed?
There is a way out: lifting with the help of cold. Banal pieces of ice from the freezer sometimes give a stunning rejuvenating effect, causing skin cells to contract and expand, activating the blood circulation process.
