Date: August 2, 2021 Thin facial skin looks great only at a young age, when the body is healthy enough, stably produces all the necessary hormones and properly distributes nutrients. In adulthood, the thin dermis brings many unpleasant symptoms, which often take a lot of time to combat.
To choose the right care, get rid of rashes and other troubles, it is worth understanding its features and understanding how the epidermis “works” in this case.
The importance of facial skin care
The dermis constantly needs optimal levels of moisture, nutrition, oxygenation and protection. The condition of his skin depends on how aware a person is of how to properly care for his face. The importance of preventive measures is as follows:
- regular hygiene and cleansing;
- You can’t leave makeup on overnight; it’s important to remove makeup correctly;
- nutrition – the condition of the skin depends on the diet; eating fast foods and “harmful” carbohydrates does not add to health;
- hydration – maintaining water balance plays an important role for the skin;
- timely treatment of diseases, acne and pimples;
- protection – excessive tanning in the sun and in solariums leads to photoaging, so it is important to protect the dermis from exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Care depends not only on the condition of the skin, but also on age. Each period of the life cycle has its own characteristics.
What is important at 20+ years old?
The age when pubertal hormonal changes are already behind us, and it seems too early to think about aging. But this is a misconception, since care needs to be learned from an early age. Young people need to adhere to preventive measures to ensure that their skin remains radiant, fresh and smooth for a long time. How to properly care for facial skin at the age of 20+:
- Be sure to maintain fluid intake. Previously, it was believed that it was necessary to drink up to 1.5 - 2 liters per day. Now nutritionists and cosmetologists adhere to slightly different tactics - you need to drink when you want. But you should monitor your water balance very carefully. When the skin lacks moisture, it immediately signals this by dryness.
- During the day, particles of dust and dirt accumulate on the surface of the dermis. Before going to bed, cleansing with foams or gels is required. Be sure to remove makeup. Properly give the dermis the opportunity to receive nutrition even during sleep - a face cream marked 20+ will help deliver all the nutritional components to the cells. The same scheme applies to the area around the eyes.
- UV protection. In winter, use a product with SPF 30; in summer, apply cream with SPF 50 before going outside.
At this age, acne can also appear; there can be many reasons for this - from poor diet to stress. Visits to a cosmetologist will help avoid more serious problems.
Cleansing
This is an obligatory part of morning and evening hygiene procedures. Because creams, masks, peeling, massage and much more are applied and carried out only on a cleansed face. Otherwise, their use will become practically meaningless; no substances will be able to penetrate deep into the epidermis through the stratum corneum of cells.
- Women over 30 are not recommended to use soap; wash only with clean water, a special tonic or foam. Those with an oily type should use foams and tonics. And ladies whose dermis is prone to dryness will benefit from cosmetic emulsions and milk. In the evening you should cleanse more thoroughly.
- It is better to use mineral or filtered water for washing. Very cold or hot will damage the skin, so you should prefer liquid at room temperature.
- In addition to daily cleansers, deep action masks should be used once or twice a week. The face needs to be prepared for such procedures - steamed with a steam bath, and only then applied.
- You should not wipe yourself after washing, so as not to cause dryness and irritation. It is better to blot lightly with a soft towel, being careful not to rub or stretch it.
What is important at age 30+
The period when the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid in cells begins to decrease. Already at 30+ years old, it is worth considering that the time is right for age-related changes. With insufficient care, the likelihood of the first wrinkles appearing is quite high. The stratum corneum thickens, elasticity decreases and microcirculation in the tissues deteriorates.
How to take care of the face of a woman over 30 years old:
- nutrition – care products must contain nutritional components, peptides;
- moisturizing – moisture loss is becoming more and more noticeable, but special products will help to avoid dryness;
- cleansing – even more important, the skin should not suffer from impurities and clogged pores;
- toning – to normalize pH levels and narrow pores;
- skin care in the eye area - this area is the most susceptible to aging, and therefore requires special attention and the use of cosmetics;
- giving up bad habits - no cigarettes, and alcohol in rare cases and only for mood.
At the age of 30, folk remedies are still relevant - herbal infusions, lotions, baths, masks made from natural ingredients. But the time has come to seek professional help. Chemical peeling will help even out the structure of the face, reduce the appearance of the first wrinkles and preserve natural contours for a long time.
What procedures will help you look younger with fine-wrinkle type of aging?
Ablative laser rejuvenation
is a procedure that effectively fights wrinkles, evens out the relief, and strengthens the skin. At the VIP Academy clinic, laser rejuvenation is carried out using a certified Korean-made CO2 laser.
It affects only specific areas; nearby tissues are not damaged. During manipulation, discomfort and a burning sensation may occur. But the result is definitely worth a little patience. Mild discomfort, swelling and redness may be felt for several days, which then disappear. Then the skin begins to peel off and crusts appear. The skin remains highly sensitive and requires delicate care. The recovery period after laser rejuvenation can last from 1 to two and a half weeks. For 3–4 months after the procedure, you must use sunscreen cosmetics (SPF 50). You can evaluate the result after 14 days. It will gradually accumulate. The final result should be assessed after 3-6 months. The effectiveness of this procedure is comparable to plastic surgery and helps those who are not ready to take radical measures to become younger. Ablative laser rejuvenation is recommended to be carried out from October to April, when there is no active sun. Biorevitalization
is the use of drugs whose main component is hyaluronic acid. It is she who is responsible for youth, elasticity and beauty of the skin. With age, it is produced in insufficient quantities. Hence such troubles as sagging, loss of elasticity and dehydration of the skin. The purpose of biorevitalization is to compensate for the lack of hyaluronic acid. Under its influence, the processes of stimulating the production of its own collagen and elastin proteins, as well as its own hyaluronic acid, are launched. The skin becomes healthier, hydrated and radiant.
The procedure is carried out according to indications.
To achieve maximum effect, you must undergo a course of procedures. The rehabilitation period is about 2-3 days. During this time, the papules will completely disappear.⠀ Botox injections
are a drug that blocks certain facial muscles responsible for facial expressions. Prevents the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead and near the eyes. Before the procedure, the cosmetologist asks you to frown on the forehead, eyebrows and other problem areas that most often form wrinkles. Then he will mark and inject Botox, which will temporarily block muscle mobility. It is thanks to the relaxing effect of Botox that facial wrinkles are corrected. Botox begins to work quickly.
The first results can be assessed within 2 days. The drug paralyzes the muscle for 6-8 months.
When surprised, the forehead stops “moving up”, and when you frown, the skin between the eyebrows does not gather. Therefore, at this time you can not be afraid to show emotions. In addition, the absence of excessive forehead mobility helps to reduce existing creases. Contour plastic with fillers
. Filler in translation means “filling” or “filling”. It is introduced into places that need to be filled, compacted and made more voluminous. For example, with the help of fillers, you can enlarge your lips, make a voluminous facial correction, create beautiful high cheekbones, correct a hump on your nose, and correct hollows under the eyes. They can fill facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and make post-acne scars less noticeable.
We use high-quality and self-tested products.
Already at the first consultation, the cosmetologist will determine exactly your type of aging and recommend procedures aimed at preserving beauty and youth. You can make an appointment with a cosmetologist at the VIP Academy clinic by calling
What is important at age 40+
A period when it is necessary to take all changes in the condition of the dermis very seriously. There are already more wrinkles, signs of sagging and decreased elasticity appear. The oval and terrain may change for the worse. Pimples and acne at this age are extremely rare, most likely due to the use of certain medications and poor diet. Therefore, maximum attention should be directed to reducing age-related changes.
How to take care of the face of 40-year-old people:
- All measures preceding this period must be activated. This includes cleansing, moisturizing and protecting. You need to stay in the sun as little as possible.
- The epidermis is not able to retain enough moisture, so it requires help - hydration from the inside and outside.
- The same goes for nutrition. These are not just healthy products, but also products rich in substances necessary to preserve youth - Omega-3, amino acids and fatty acids.
- It is very important to ensure proper rest - get enough sleep, and feel energetic and cheerful in the morning.
At this age, the help of a professional cosmetologist is invaluable. There are many methods - a specialist will help you choose the optimal rejuvenation complex and give recommendations for care. Treatments for youthful skin may include mesotherapy, hyaluronic acid injections, and the use of laser techniques.
Hydration and nutrition
- For these procedures it is better to use special creams. After reaching your 30th birthday, you can safely buy cosmetics labeled anti-aging in stores. Such cosmetics will provide you with the necessary vitamins A, B, C, D, E, E, P, elastin, collagen, fruit acids and microelements.
- For these purposes, it offers the Beauty box “VitaMix” vitamin care complex. In addition, the Anti Age Mesococktail with AHA acids and other products in this series are suitable for all types. The compositions activate collagen production, promote renewal at the cellular level, improving the structure and tone of the dermis.
- It is worth using various facial serums. They contain much more useful substances than conventional creams. And their constant use is not recommended - limit yourself to two courses per year.
- Choose cosmetics that are appropriate for your age. Creams and masks for more mature skin reduce the natural synthesis of various elements.
- Night cream should not be applied right before bed. Since such products contain moisturizing components, they may not have time to be fully absorbed into the dermis.
What is important at 50+
The age of menopause in women, which is accompanied by changes in hormonal levels. Insufficient estrogen production leads to rapid aging of the dermis. Cells recover much more slowly, and the pH level changes. At this age, a woman should have at her disposal a whole arsenal of skincare products marked 50+ and with the following properties:
- hydration;
- cleansing;
- nutrition;
- tightening – lifting effect;
- protection;
- regeneration.
The help of a professional cosmetologist plays a huge role. At 50+, it is almost impossible to restore the contours and elasticity of the skin on your own. In this case, rejuvenation is carried out using contour plastic surgery, thread lifting, laser and injection cosmetology.
Determining your skin type
It is easier to provide balanced care for the dermis if you determine its type. Oily, dry, combination, sensitive and normal skin requires a special approach in everyday procedures. Each type has its own care package.
Fatty
Dermis with a characteristic shine, devoid of healthy color. Usually a grayish tone predominates; the cause of the problems lies in the excessive activity of the sebaceous glands. The cells of such skin produce a large amount of sebum, and blockages form faster. Enlarged pores and bumpiness are the main signs.
On the one hand, oily skin later becomes covered with wrinkles, but on the other hand, acne and comedones form at a young age. If not treated in a timely manner, acne leaves scars, spots and pits - post-acne. Attempting to clean pores on your own can only lead to even more sebum production, so peels should be performed by a professional doctor.
Dry
Matte skin, thin and often flaky. Pores are narrowed, sebum production is not enough to maintain proper balance. The dermis reacts to weather conditions - wind, frost, heat. Poorly tolerates exposure to ultraviolet radiation. On such skin, spider veins and stars appear faster, and it loses its elasticity early.
To prevent premature aging, it is necessary not only to ensure the supply of nutrients and fluids, but also to take measures to retain moisture in the cells.
Combined, normal and sensitive type
Normal skin is extremely rare these days. Daily stress, ecology, and nutrition do not help maintain an ideal balance. It is easy to determine this type of dermis - there is no peeling, the shade is natural, the relief is uniform, the pores are not noticeable. But even happy owners of normal skin must provide proper care, otherwise the situation can change at any moment.
Combined type - oily dermis in the forehead and nasolabial triangle. In other zones it is dry. The peculiarity of this type is that each area requires different methods of care. It is necessary to use the appropriate products for each zone.
The sensitive epidermis is characterized by the presence of reddish veins. Skin with too thin capillaries is a consequence of low vascular elasticity. Any factor that causes the vascular walls to sharply narrow or expand leads to a deterioration in the condition of the epidermis. This could be food, ultraviolet radiation, weather conditions. Proper care involves using desensitizing agents.
Basic principles of proper care
Despite the peculiarities for each age, the concept of preserving youthful skin is always the same:
- complete hydration;
- timely cleansing;
- toning;
- nutrition and use of products with beneficial micro- and macroelements;
- ensuring the preservation of elasticity;
- protection from harmful influences.
It is very important to monitor not only the condition of the epidermis, but also its health. If there are signs of even the slightest bacterial or infectious process, you must contact a cosmetologist. Scheduled examinations twice a year will help you get an idea of proper care - a specialist will tell you what you can use and when, how to take care of your face after the summer and cold seasons, and how to keep your skin youthful and healthy.
