Tips and rules for caring for aging skin
- Limit sun exposure.Harmful UV rays are the number one cause of premature skin aging.To prevent harmful effects, it is recommended to apply sunscreen every day in all weathers.Choose products that are lightweight—they won’t clog your pores.
- Choose the right sleeping position.Improper posture is the second leading cause of wrinkles.To prevent marionette lines around your mouth and wrinkles around your eyes, try getting into the habit of sleeping on your back.
- Pay attention to your facial expressions.Wrinkles on the skin appear due to repeated movements (laughing, smiling, yawning, crying, surprise).Avoid unnecessary facial expressions and wear sunglasses to avoid squinting.
- Defy gravity and train your muscles.Gravity can cause facial muscles to sag, especially those that are never used.Training the subcutaneous muscles of your face will help your face look firmer and maintain defined contours.
A healthy lifestyle, avoiding bad habits and drinking plenty of water can also affect the condition of your facial skin.
Comments (from comments on the website)
"I have combination skin and clay masks have helped me a lot! But I wanted to somehow diversify my daily application of clay. I chose the white clay and oil option, which I will definitely try."
"I've made a few recipes using bananas and I really like it. The skin becomes smoother and softer, and I hope the wrinkles will diminish after a few uses."
"I had some strawberries left over, so I decided to make a face mask. A really simple and easy coconut oil recipe. This anti-aging mask smells great...and is so comfortable to apply. Skin looks clean and nourished, and I will continue to use this fragrant formula."
