The tonic is stored in the refrigerator, and you can use it 2-3 times a day.
All these folk remedies for rejuvenation at home will give results in two months, if they are combined regularly.
The pharmacy helps in the fight for the young
It is not necessary to prepare means for preserving and restoring the youth of facial skin, you can buy some pharmaceutical ointments or creams:
- retinoic ointment;
- solcoseril ointment;
- anti-aging face cream (various brands).
Retinoic ointment is an excellent antibacterial agent for various skin defects: acne, rashes, redness, which get stronger on the skin with age and last longer. Any anti-blemish should be applied topically, this ointment is no exception. Clean and healthy skin looks much younger and more beautiful, so you need to eliminate unpleasant manifestations.
Solcoseryl ointment - a drug to improve the penetration of oxygen into tissues. With age, the pores of the skin increasingly leak this gas into the epithelium, which gradually affects its condition: it becomes dry, dandruff, tissues lose tone, look sluggish. Solcoseryl is applied to the whole face in a thin layer, gently rubbing into the face. Also, for people with sensitive skin it is allowed to "dilute" the ointment with a nourishing or moisturizing cream.
Anti-aging cream is an equally popular and widely advertised remedy, which is credited with truly unimaginable effects: smoothing deep wrinkles, tightening the skin and so on. Almost all cosmetic companies produce a range of skin aging creams, promising a rejuvenating effect. But it should be understood that this is only part of the truth. Aging facial cosmetics can really smooth out small wrinkles or smooth out unpleasant imperfections, but no product can nourish the skin with collagen and deal with deep skin wrinkles.
Such creams nourish, replenish the supply of vitamins and minerals, but do not create any "magic". They can be used in combination with other procedures, and when choosing you need to focus on the specified age.
General recommendations
It is not enough to just smear something on the skin and hope for a miracle! You need to change your lifestyle:
- revise the menu
- make a sleep schedule
- to exercise;
- find optimal cosmetic therapies (massages, masks, peels);
- reduce stress.
The menu of people who want to rejuvenate should contain natural products: vegetables (greens and legumes), fruits (citrus fruits), nuts and dried fruits, dairy products (except butter), oils of plant origin. The first and fourth groups contain proteins and B vitamins necessary for the body, the second - the antioxidant vitamin C, the third and last contain a lot of E, which is called the "vitamin of youth". You can also buy a vitamin-mineral complex for a certain age.
You need to sleep for at least 8 hours, because all the shortcomings of lack of sleep are visible on tired skin, and the bags under the eyes in adult women disappear much longer than in young women.
With a sports load, the skin breathes, enriches it with oxygen, which makes the face fresher, smoothes mimic wrinkles and removes excess subcutaneous deposits.
