How to properly care for your face at home after 50 years?

Each age has its own nuances and its own rules. As for women, their main trump card is leather. Over the years, it has undergone a number of age-related changes, and after 30, 40 and 50 years old, it is beginning to require increased attention. A special blow falls on the 50-year-old frontier, in the period of menopause. What causes aging female skin? How and how to properly care for her? The main answers to these and other questions will be considered further.

A woman is beautiful at any age. Especially when taking care of yourself. A lot of factors influence the appearance of women's skin. After 50 years, another characteristic age crisis is added - menopause. And this, first of all, affects the face.

In general, the menopause is accompanied by:

• thin and dry skin;
• changes in the chemical composition of the subcutaneous components - reducing the amount of hyaluronic acid and the deterioration of the quality of natural collagen;
• decrease in regenerative function;
• pH change;
• a decrease in the blood level of estrogen - the main female hormone.

At 55, 60 years, many women observe the appearance of dark pigmentation, facial wrinkles, swelling of the face, dark circles under the eyes. It is not only possible to grow old beautifully, but also necessary. And it is not only about costly and complex procedures by a cosmetologist or plastic surgery.

Want to change the world - start with yourself. This truth has long been known to everyone, but still has its grain of truth. The morning and evening set of actions aimed at keeping the skin in good shape, even at home, will give a positive result.

To preserve youth will help such some highlights.

• Nutrition. Modern fashion trends in the field of proper nutrition risk leading to the fact that in 10-20 years we will have forever young grandmothers with the enthusiasm and energy of young girls. Of course, a sudden transition to a new power scheme after 50 will not lead to an ideal result even in 1-2 months. But it is worth changing your diet if it contains large quantities of salt and sugar, flour products, hot spices, meat, chocolate and chicken yolk. Replace all this is recommended fruit, vegetables and dairy products.
• Physical Education. The simplest physical exercises tone not only the muscles. They help to improve blood circulation and generally affect the psycho-emotional state of a woman after 50.
• Water. Drinking mineral still water today is concerned with almost the entire planet. This is one of the foundations of fashionable HLS today. And due to the climacteric period, internal moistening becomes especially important. Experts advise starting your day with a glass of warm non-carbonated pure water. The total volume of fluid in different sources ranges from 1.5 to 3 liters per day.

• Getting rid of bad habits. This item should be removed from your life altogether, if after 50 years you plan to look at least 40. Most heavy smokers and alcohol drinkers suffer the most. Sunbathing and tanning beds are in the second place (an excess of ultraviolet radiation in the summer affects the female skin just as badly as the frost in winter).Next come coffee and tea infusions, emotional and nervous shocks, high hard pillows, lack of sleep, washing with ordinary soap.
• Complex facial skin care. This procedure affects the condition of your epidermis from the outside. It is a complex of industrial or home-made products that moisturize, cleanse and nourish the skin. The right approach to the choice of cosmetics will help you look younger in combination with the performance of the rest of the items on this list.

When the water balance in the body is not disturbed, then everything is easier and faster. The same happens with moisturizing the skin after 50.

There are 5 basic rules that will allow you to get closer to the desired result without the use of auxiliary substances.

• Get rid of alkaline cleansers that wash away the natural fatty film. It retains moisture inside the cells, and alkali washes it away.
• Give up alcohol-based care products. They also dry up the female skin.
• Protect your face from excess sun, wind and frost.
• Start a good habit as a facial massage.
• Use high-quality moisturizing masks and creams.

Facial cleansing should be done 1 time in 3 weeks. This will make the pores cleaner and does not harm the skin. It is best to use the scrub in the morning, immediately after waking up, or in the evening, before going to bed. Apply cleanser is best on steamed skin.

An important element of the daily cleansing of mature skin is washing. Women over 50 years old are contraindicated in the use of soap, which contains elevated levels of alkali or glycerin.

The most recommended for washing such means:

• herbal infusions (chamomile, linden, string or thyme);
• micellar water;
• rubbing the skin with ice cubes (you can freeze just mineral non-carbonated water, herbal decoctions, frozen pieces of fruit or vegetables).

It is necessary to carry out manipulations on skin cleansing twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. After washing, you can use an additional tool - tonic. It supports the skin throughout the day and gives it freshness. The best time to use is morning.
