Wake up! 5 tricks to tone your facial skin

What is skin tone

Facial skin tone means a healthy appearance, softness, elasticity and good cellular metabolism.

Healthy dermis is dense, strong and elastic. It depends on the hormonal balance in the body. It’s not for nothing that when there is a failure in the hormonal system, pimples, blackheads and other inflammations appear.

3 important parameters to consider when assessing your skin:

1. Turgor - how well the epidermis can resist deformation;
2. Hydration - does the skin have enough moisture?
3. The rate of metabolic processes is how smooth and clean the skin is.

Strengthening active ingredients

To restore elastic body skin, it is necessary to restore its softness and elasticity of the skin, as well as strengthen particularly vulnerable areas, and this can be done at home. For this you will need a suitable cream. Lox-Lastine® component - purified dill extract - promotes elastin production. By stimulating a key enzyme responsible for elasticity, it recreates active elastin in the skin to restructure elastic fibers and tone skin tissue. For global skin strengthening, use the 3 in 1 INTELLIGENCE FERMETE Complex Firming Body Balm. The silicon it contains restructures tissues and stimulates the production of collagen and elastic fibers.

How to check skin tone

It is not always possible to determine the quality of the dermis. In such cases, simple tests help.

• Squeeze the skin on the back of your hand with your fingers (not your nails!) and then release it. How quickly did the wrinkles disappear? If the creases disappear immediately, then everything is in order. Does it leave dents after a few seconds? It's time to take care of your skin. And if even after 5-6 seconds a trace of the seizure remains, then measures must be serious and urgent.
• Near your cheekbones, pinch your cheek. Is the leather easy to hold in your hands? This means the density is broken. This usually occurs in women 45+, or in cases of turgor malfunction.

How to improve skin tone

First of all, take care of hydration. With sufficient moisture in the body, there are fewer problems.

• Try to drink at least 2 liters of water per day. Any care must start from the inside, so no cosmetics will help if you neglect simple drinking water.
• Use care products that strengthen the barrier functions of the epidermis. When the stratum corneum is damaged, moisture quickly evaporates. Therefore, it is important not only to moisturize the face, but also to ensure that the product gives all its properties.

How to improve facial skin tone with daily care

Carefully read the ingredients of products that end up on your bathroom shelf. It will be good if they contain:

1. Hyaluronic acid;
2. Chitosan;
3. Algae extracts;
4. Aloe.

These substances are responsible for moisturizing and increasing the immunity of our dermis.

1. Vitamins C and E4;
2. Phloretin;
3. Baikalin.

These substances have tonic properties.

1. Caffeine;
2. Ascin;
3. Dextran.

They help avoid morning swelling, so they should be included in evening care.

Try to use natural cosmetics. The shorter the composition, the better. Focus on moisturizing (you can even use several products). And don’t forget about peeling - it removes dead cells and starts the regeneration process, which helps maintain skin tone.

PREPARATION FOR PROCEDURES AND RECOVERY PERIOD

To avoid complications, before any cosmetic procedure you should follow the doctor’s recommendations and the rules corresponding to the chosen procedure. In most cases, it is recommended not to visit the beach, solarium, bathhouse, or swimming pool 10 days before and for 1-4 weeks after the procedure. You should also use SPF cream and not take blood thinners.

The recovery period after exposure is usually short or non-existent, such as with alterotherapy with UltheraSystem and Thermage. After some procedures, swelling, slight redness or numbness of the skin may persist for several days. The doctor will tell you more about possible side effects during your preliminary consultation.

Increase body skin tone

The body is a little more difficult to deal with. Different parts require an individual approach. And the work area is much larger. But almost every girl dreams of a toned and beautiful body, and it cannot be achieved without skin elasticity. Therefore, all efforts will be important.

Wrapping is one of the most famous ways to combat sagging. Mainly used in the hip area. There are cold, hot and contrasting. They are prepared using algae, coffee and other natural products.

Massage improves blood circulation and lymph flow, tissue nutrition and metabolic processes. As a result, cellulite goes away, the skin becomes elastic and radiant. You don’t have to go to a massage therapist - you can handle it with your own hands.

A contrast shower invigorates the skin by stimulating blood flow. As a result, she becomes more toned.

Peeling - exfoliates the upper layers of the epidermis, the skin begins to look more elastic and smooth.

Special creams - you need to use a regular moisturizer to increase the elasticity of the dermis. There are also special gels that have a drainage function - they remove excess fluid, strengthen tissues and make the body more beautiful.

But no gels will save you if you don’t engage in physical activity. Without it, muscles weaken, lymph flow slows down, fluid accumulates in tissues, and you swell. Therefore, moving is a necessity. Even just walking can help, for example an hour-long walk at a brisk pace. But every day!

Review of effective skin tone products

Hemp balm with verbena improves skin regeneration, strengthens its barrier functions and maximum moisturizes. A good product for the face, but can also be used for the body.

Dry massage brush - if you introduce dry massage into your daily habit, you will very soon notice that your skin has become smoother, more beautifully colored and toned. Flabbiness and cellulite go away.

Yellow balm for turpentine baths - helps get rid of cellulite and even helps fight excess weight.

Squalane - can be used in any area of ​​the body (even hair!). Absorbs well, moisturizes and prevents the appearance of small cracks. Suitable for cupping massage.

Miracle jars - used for figure correction and in the fight against cellulite. The vacuum activates the sebaceous glands, so its effect is comparable to going to the bathhouse.

Face creams

Naturally, face creams are the absolute essence of care, an element that cannot be neglected.

We choose 2 types of cream: day and night. These should be 2 different jars; under no circumstances should we take a 2-in-1 universal product for day and night in winter.

Day creams are lighter in structure and do not weigh down the skin, which is so important before applying decorative cosmetics. During the cold season, it is important to ensure that they contain moisturizing components and vitamins. Regarding additional functions (whitening, fighting capillaries), it is better to consult a cosmetologist.

Well, night ones are enriched with additional nutrients during rest. If you apply them during the day, your skin will become tired due to their heaviness. This will be especially noticeable if you introduce the use of night products into daily routine on an ongoing basis.

Ways to strengthen facial muscles at home

Over time, the oval of the face floats, the skin loses its elasticity, becomes flabby and ugly. But you can help her! Some people go to a plastic surgeon for a facelift, while others prefer to cope on their own. And it is right.

Facebook building

Facebuilding is like bodybuilding, only for the face. Girls do it to get rid of wrinkles and make their skin more elastic and toned. But this can hardly be called a good way.

Skin problems cannot be solved with face building. It only pumps up the muscles, and for elasticity they need to be relaxed. Facial gymnastics is perfect for this task! By the way, this is exactly what the advanced intensives of the legendary beauty trainer Melannet are aimed at.

Advanced intensive courses are sets of proprietary exercises to work through specific problems. For example, the intensive “Nasolubgka” removes “folds of sorrow” and lifts the corners of the lips, and the intensive “eyes and forehead” eliminates deep wrinkles between the eyebrows and forehead, bags and bruises under the eyes, and also lifts the drooping eyelid. You can sign up for intensive courses here.

Massage

Self-massage is the best way to maintain skin tone. It doesn’t take much time, but at the same time it brings pleasure and gives a great effect.

1 exercise

• Three palms against each other, warming them;
• Press your palms tightly to your temples;
• We warm the whiskey;
• We make circular movements with our palms towards the hair.

Exercise 2

• Presses palms to temples;
• We lower our head forward a little, stretching the skin;
• Warm the whiskey with your palms (at least for a minute);
• We lower our head even further, making circular movements towards the hair.

Exercise 3

• We press our palms to our cheeks, grabbing our temples;
• Warm the whiskey with your hands;
• We move our hands towards the top of the head, as if we want to collect everything in a knot on the top of the head.

Perform all exercises at least 3 times. And you will quickly notice that the oval of your face will become clearer, wrinkles will disappear, and your color will become healthy.

What processes occur in the skin when it loses elasticity?

Young skin is elastic and elastic. It does not deform under mechanical influence. If you squeeze or stretch it, it will retain its structure without damage (elasticity) and quickly return to its original shape (elasticity).

Why does this happen?

The dermis, its supporting layer, which is located between the epidermis and subcutaneous fat, is responsible for the firmness, elasticity, and strength of the skin. The dermis is a connective tissue that consists of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

These substances are the main components of youthful skin. Collagen and elastin are proteins that form a natural framework in the form of intertwined fibers. Hyaluronic acid creates a moist environment for them.

• Collagen fibers
  work like the spring frame of a mattress: they return the tissue to its original shape after compression.
• Elastin fibers
  run diagonally at different angles and thus hold the dermis together, keeping its components from separating.
• Hyaluronic acid
  provides skin hydration, which is also necessary for smoothness and elasticity. It helps moisture retain in the skin in the form of a kind of gel. One molecule of hyaluronic acid is capable of attracting and holding up to 10 molecules of water in the intercellular space so that it does not all come out (through the pores of the skin we lose up to half a liter of liquid per day). In addition, hyaluronic acid protects against toxins.

But over the years, the structure of the dermis is disrupted. What leads to this?

• Blood circulation slows down,
  the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells deteriorates, and their metabolism is disrupted.
• Lymphatic circulation suffers,
  excess fluid accumulates in the tissues of the face, it swells, and the skin becomes loose.
• At some point, a hormonal factor comes into play:
  the level of estrogen – “beauty hormones” – decreases. The number of fibroblasts - cells that participate in the synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid - directly depends on them.

All this is reflected on the skin:

1. In the dermis, the renewal of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid worsens (due to a reduction in the number of fibroblasts).
   The quality of available fibers deteriorates. Elastin becomes fragile and breaks, collagen loses its properties.

   Result: the skin loses firmness, elasticity, strength, ability to retain moisture, and becomes defenseless against toxins.

2. In addition to hyaluronic acid, the hydro-lipid mantle is responsible for skin moisture and its protection from the environment.
   This is a film that covers the top layer of skin. It consists of the products of the activity of the sebaceous and sweat glands (located in the dermis). Over the years, this water-fat layer becomes thinner as the activity of the glands decreases. Result: dryness and dehydration.
3. Changes also occur in the deepest layer of the skin - subcutaneous fat (hypodermis).
   It becomes thinner, while the area of ​​the skin remains the same, that is, part of the integument turns out to be “extra.” Result: sagging skin.
4. In addition, the dermis is penetrated by blood and lymphatic vessels, nerve endings, sebaceous and sweat glands. The deterioration of their condition also affects the loss of skin elasticity.

Skin care tips

You should always remember the 3 main stages in caring for the dermis:

1. Cleansing
   - during the day, many dust particles stick to us, and many girls wear decorative cosmetics. All this clogs pores and causes irritation, so washing is necessary. In the morning, cleansing is also necessary. At night, the dermis is renewed, gets rid of toxins and this must be washed off. Unfortunately, sewer water in cities has a terrible composition and can harm the skin of the face. Therefore, it is better to replace washing with tap water with cleansing with hydrosols. For example, hydrosol with lavender is suitable not only for all skin types, but even for hair.
2. Peeling
   - scrubbing must be done at least once a week. It allows the skin to breathe and facilitates tissue renewal. You can try dry massage with a brush. It allows you to get rid of dead cells, increases blood circulation, allows you to maintain youth longer.
3. Moisturizing
   - to maintain youth and elasticity of the dermis, it must be moisturized. . Try camellia sasanqua oil. It is universal and suitable for almost any skin type.

Daily washing

Did you know that washing your face every day and removing your makeup is the foundation for good skin condition? Without proper cleansing there can be no healthy epidermis. And if you have sinned by skipping these sacred rituals during the holidays, then now is the time to repent and return to these simple and magical procedures. And do it right!

Which technique is right? Read and remember the cosmetologist's recommendations!

1. If you are wearing makeup, first remove it from the eyes, eyebrows and lips using a cotton pad moistened with a special makeup remover or hydrophilic oil.
2. We wipe our face with a cotton pad with micellar water or the same hydrophilic oil.
3. Take a cleanser (gel, foam or mousse) and wash your face thoroughly. All movements should be neat, soft, we carry them out along massage lines from the center to the periphery.
4. Wipe with tonic.
5. If necessary, apply serum and creams on top (for eyes and face).

Voila! The skin glows, and so do you.

Injection methods

In pursuit of beauty and eternal youth, girls are ready to do anything. Even for injections. They are not afraid of swelling, negative reactions and pain. Meanwhile, everything is not as wonderful as cosmetology clinics advertise.

Biorevitalization

Biorevitalization is a procedure for introducing hyaluronic acid into the upper layer of the epidermis using injections. Usually 3-4 sessions are needed several times a year. The danger of the method lies in the fact that the body stops secreting its own hyaluronic acid and now you can no longer live without “beauty injections”.

The needles touch the blood vessels and disrupt their function. Therefore, after the procedure, you will have to lock yourself at home for at least 5 days, because there will be bruises and swelling.

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is the introduction of a whole cocktail of substances under the skin. . Cosmetologists recommend starting to inject these products at the age of 18, when the epidermis has not even fully strengthened yet.

Very often, patients experience an allergic reaction. They also note that the procedure is as painful as possible.

Ozone therapy

Ozone therapy is the introduction of ozone into the dermis. And ozone is a gas that can be very toxic to humans.

Instead of agreeing to injections, try to allocate at least 10-15 extra minutes in the morning and evening to take care of your face and then you will be able to cope with all the shortcomings on your own.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

General contraindications for hardware or injection cosmetic procedures include the following:

• acute period of any illness, exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• oncological, autoimmune pathology;
• bleeding disorders;
• skin damage in the affected area;
• tendency to rough (keloid) scarring;
• period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• presence of a pacemaker.

Contraindications to the use of cosmetic injections also include:

• intolerance to the components of a certain drug,
• taking certain medications.

Hardware cosmetology

Nowadays, hardware beauty procedures are widespread. Yes, they really give good results, but at the same time they greatly harm the body. And, before you run to the cosmetologist’s office, try to use the means at hand to restore your former beauty.

Microcurrent therapy

Small impulses pass to the deep levels of the epidermis, causing irritation and muscle tension. And to restore skin tone, relaxation is necessary. As a result, you will simply “pump up” your facial muscles, but will not get rid of the problem.

RF-lifting Aluma

A gel is applied to the skin, which makes the epidermis invisible to the rays. Using a vacuum, the skin is pulled in and impulses pass through it. they heat tissues, destroy collagen and lay down new ones. Just imagine how stressful this is for the body!

Biostimulation FUTURA PRO

This procedure was invented for the lazy. It is used to pump up muscles without physical activity. You lie there and the current does everything for you. But this is not suitable for the face - we need to relax the muscles, relieve spasm, return the muscles to their natural length, and not pump them up. And this device will only cause new clamps.

The result of the procedures depends on the quality of the devices and the abilities of the cosmetologist. Finding a quality clinic is difficult. In addition, the procedures are addictive and if at the beginning you only needed 1-2 courses a year, then over time the effect will begin to end within a month.

1.General information

According to explanatory dictionaries, the word “flabby” means “flaccid, lost or lacking elasticity, freshness, normal strength, strength, density; loose, weak”, etc. When applied to the skin, such definitions not only sound dull - in some cases it creates a noticeable aesthetic defect and becomes a source of serious medical and psychological problems. Humanity (mainly, of course, its fair half) makes enormous efforts to develop, produce and especially consume countless skin care products designed to preserve its freshness and prevent, in particular, age-related fading - although with age as such, sagging The skin is not always and not fully connected.

Natural uniform color, matte shine, turgor (elastic tone), smoothness of the skin, absence of visible pores, “stretch marks”, unnecessary folds - on an instinctive level is perceived as a sign of health, which is due to completely rational reasons, and not just the requirements of fashion or aesthetic tastes. Indeed, the skin performs many functions and is connected with almost all physiological systems; it is the largest and most visible human organ; For these reasons, the condition of the skin serves as a reliable and informative indicator of the overall health of the body.

Sagging skin, accordingly, is an anomaly. And the younger its bearer, the more pathological this seemingly purely cosmetic phenomenon is.
