The skin also constantly changes: it loses its tone, elasticity and attractiveness, it becomes thinner, dehydrated, becomes flabby, dry, wrinkled. But the aging of the body does not occur in all people at the same time - some are early enough, others have a long-lasting elasticity and freshness of the skin. The arrival of old age is a biological pattern in the life of a person, but if you make certain efforts, you can postpone its arrival for a certain period. It is wrong to think that using only creams and masks, you can achieve this. Only the right way of life, observance of hygienic norms, together with cosmetic means, will allow to keep a pleasant appearance for many years.
Particularly important is the alternation of mental and physical loads during work and leisure. Required physical education classes, which can begin at any age. Try to distribute your time in such a way that most of it you spend in the fresh air. Often ventilate the room in which you work, relax, sleep. Useful walks on the nature, visiting excursions.
Great importance in this age should be given to nutrition. It should be regular, complete, full and, to the extent possible, diverse, rich in vitamins, but without excess. You can not overeat - constantly watch your weight, some elderly people fall into the other extreme - dramatically reduce the consumption of meat, fish, eggs and other necessary for proper functioning of the body.
Sleep should be full, not less than 7-8 hours a day. It is advisable to sleep in the daytime, preferably before lunch. Those with poor eyesight should wear glasses or contact lenses. Some people believe that glasses are a sign of old age, but this is not so. Many people, almost from an early age, have to wear glasses due to visual impairment. Ophthalmologists believe that people after 40 years, especially those who often spend time in front of a computer monitor, should use glasses. It was during these years that vision began to weaken. The ophthalmic lens changes, its refractive power decreases. You have to squint to see small objects or read a small font. Many women categorically refuse to wear glasses, because, in their opinion, they do not go to them, they ruin their external image. But this, perhaps, is a mistaken opinion, because glasses can correct some features, hide flaws.
Care for aging skin should be aimed at increasing its tone. Usually, a lot depends on the individual nature of the skin. This also has to be considered when choosing cosmetology procedures.
It is desirable to wash with cold water, it tones up the skin, improving blood circulation, narrowing the pores. To the water, necessarily softened, it is not bad to add usual kitchen or sea salt, lemon juice, tea broth and table vinegar in the proportion of 1 teaspoon per 1 liter of water.
In the elderly, the skin largely loses moisture. This loss is compensated by superimposing creams in a "wet way".
Massage is an effective way for an aging skin. Hygienic massage is designed to preserve the elasticity of the skin, the therapeutic eliminates wrinkles. Bags under the eyes, sagging cheeks, double chin and other defects of the face and neck of an age character, as well as those that appeared after rapid weight loss or subsequently various diseases. Massage improves skin nutrition and the outflow of "worked" substances, cleans from sweat, fat, dirt, normalizes the amount of substances in the tissue, improves tone, makes the skin supple, elastic, smooth. Also, the massage procedure contributes to a positive effect on the entire body. Massage - the procedure is quite complex and its improper conduct can cause harm, so massage is best done by a qualified masseur in a cosmetology room.
