How to care for oily skin after 30: the best products for problem skin

The human body changes throughout his life. And aging occurs for everyone. For some, its first signs in the form of wrinkles, swelling of the oval and sagging appear a little later than 25. And for others, even at 40, they practically did not encounter these problems. Such a large gap is determined by genetics, lifestyle and, of course, care. So if you haven’t been taking care of yourself since your youth, passing the threshold of three decades of life is an excellent reason to start doing so.

In this article we will talk about skin care after 30 years and how to make your appearance admired for a very long time.

Proper skin care after 30

Let's look at what usually happens after reaching this age:

• Metabolism slows down.

• The process of lipid secretion is disrupted, the fat layer becomes thinner and the stratum corneum thickens.

• The epithelium gradually dries out.

• Due to the slowdown in the production of elastin and collagen fibers, wrinkles appear.

• Healthy fluid circulation is disrupted, leading to a deterioration in the general condition of the dermis.

• Muscle tone decreases: the corners of the mouth droop, nasolabial folds and sagging cheeks (the so-called jowls) appear.

As you can see, some of the unpleasant signs of fading are a direct consequence of the slowdown in the functioning of various body systems. Therefore, the first and most important measures to preserve youth and health apply not only to the face, but to the entire body as a whole. To maintain beautiful and smooth skin you need:

• A balanced healthy diet, including all the necessary nutrients. An improper diet, as well as a lack of vitamins and microelements, has a bad effect on the condition of the dermis. For example, riboflavin deficiency provokes inflammation on the face and cracks on the lips. A lack of retinol and tocopherol increases the likelihood of premature wrinkles, dryness and sagging. Include freshly squeezed juices with celery, parsley or cabbage in your menu. This will have a positive impact on your overall well-being and will significantly improve the condition of your skin.

• Rejection of bad habits. Alcohol leads to swelling with a simultaneous lack of fluid in the tissues. And smoking leads to the formation of those very free radicals that accelerate aging.

• Regular eight-hour sleep. It is necessary for the healthy functioning of the entire body. Proper rest reduces the likelihood of puffy eyelids and dark circles under the eyes.

• Moderate physical activity. They allow you to maintain the overall tone of all body systems.

• Drink 1.5–2 liters of clean water a day, start drinking green tea. Water is needed for metabolic processes. Green tea contains elements that help bind and remove free radicals and slow down aging. Try not to drink liquid a few hours before bedtime, otherwise it will not have time to leave the body and appear in the form of swelling the next morning.

Without following these recommendations - at least partially - even the highest quality cosmetics will not have sufficient impact. But, of course, to consolidate the result, a variety of care procedures are needed.

Replenish volume

The deep fat that gives our face texture gradually begins to move. The face appears more tired, and the first signs of gravitational ptosis may be noticeable. It's time to think about volumetric correction with fillers. Often girls are afraid to look artificial after the procedure, but this will not happen: a competent cosmetologist will simply restore the natural lost volume without adding anything extra to the face.

Stages of skin care after 30

These include:

• Cleansing.

• Giving tone.

• Nutrition and hydration.

• Protection.

In addition, from time to time it is worth using professional products and various salon procedures, such as ultrasonic peeling, lifting, vacuum massage and much more. When taking careful care, you should remember the area around the eyes, neck and hands - they also show age.

How to remove makeup correctly?

Use special products to remove makeup. Avoid using soaps that can dry out even normal skin.

After removing makeup, apply a serum with hyaluronic acid and vitamins to your face. Serums should be used in courses. The duration of the course is one to two months. The purpose of such a product is to increase the tone of the epidermis, get rid of pigmentation and prevent the appearance of spots.

Since the care should be multi-layered, use cream after the serum.

Cleansing

This is an obligatory part of morning and evening hygiene procedures. Because creams, masks, peeling, massage and much more are applied and carried out only on a cleansed face. Otherwise, their use will become practically meaningless; no substances will be able to penetrate deep into the epidermis through the stratum corneum of cells.

• Women over 30 are not recommended to use soap; wash only with clean water, a special tonic or foam. Those with an oily type should use foams and tonics. And ladies whose dermis is prone to dryness will benefit from cosmetic emulsions and milk. In the evening you should cleanse more thoroughly.

• It is better to use mineral or filtered water for washing. Very cold or hot will damage the skin, so you should prefer liquid at room temperature.

• In addition to daily cleansers, deep action masks should be used once or twice a week. The face needs to be prepared for such procedures - steamed with a steam bath, and only then applied.

• You should not wipe yourself after washing, so as not to cause dryness and irritation. It is better to blot lightly with a soft towel, being careful not to rub or stretch it.

Deep cleaning

Let's look at the features of using deep cleaning. Exfoliating ingredients help get rid of dead epithelium and protect the body from developing acne.

Scrubbing improves blood circulation and nourishes the dermis. For deep cleaning, you can use herbal compresses. They are done after washing. For preparation, string, chamomile or sage are suitable. Massage with scrub is used. In this case, the mixture is distributed over the skin and massaged for 2-3 minutes.

It is worth considering that you should not press hard on the surface, so as not to injure yourself. Then the skin should be moisturized with tonic or cream.

For the scrubbing procedure, you can use the following products:

1. For a clay scrub, white, black or green clay is used. Dilute a spoonful of powder with water. You can also take a fermented milk product.
2. Lemon salt scrub is made from a spoonful of salt, half a spoonful of water and lemon juice.
3. A sugar scrub is made from two teaspoons of brown sugar and three milk.

Try using homemade masks:

1. Beat the egg white until foamy. Then add a spoonful of liquid honey and a teaspoon of flour to it.
2. A cleansing mask is made from kefir, lemon and oatmeal. Take two kefir and three flakes per spoon of lemon juice.
3. 20 grams of yeast are crushed and mixed with cranberry juice. You can also add a little milk.

Remember that cleansing procedures are not used for rashes, as they can spread bacteria to healthy areas.

Hydration and nutrition

• For these procedures it is better to use special creams. After reaching your 30th birthday, you can safely buy cosmetics labeled anti-aging in stores. Such cosmetics will provide you with the necessary vitamins A, B, C, D, E, E, P, elastin, collagen, fruit acids and microelements.

• For these purposes, it offers the Beauty box “VitaMix” vitamin care complex. In addition, the Anti Age Mesococktail with AHA acids and other products in this series are suitable for all types. The compositions activate collagen production, promote renewal at the cellular level, improving the structure and tone of the dermis.

• It is worth using various facial serums. They contain much more useful substances than conventional creams. And their constant use is not recommended - limit yourself to two courses per year.

• Choose cosmetics that are appropriate for your age. Creams and masks for more mature skin reduce the natural synthesis of various elements.

• Night cream should not be applied right before bed. Since such products contain moisturizing components, they may not have time to be fully absorbed into the dermis.

Selection of night and day creams

The choice of cream must be made taking into account not only your age, but also the characteristics of your skin. According to professionals, you should stop using anti-aging products before the age of 35. The reason is that such cosmetics can inhibit the normal ability of the dermis to recover naturally.

Important!

The UF filter of a day cream should be at least 30.

Night cream should be enriched with herbal supplements and peptides, ceramides, coenzymes, and collagen. In “anti-aging” products, the following may be added to this list:

• Phytoestrogens;
• Amino acids;
• Enzymes.

The cream must be applied an hour and a half before going to bed, after cleansing the skin of the face and neck. Your movements should be light, patting.

Note! Ladies suffering from swollen eyelids should avoid creams containing ascorbic acid and retinol. These components will aggravate the situation. Choose products with caffeine.

Skin care around the eyes after 30

The dermis here is especially tender. This is where the first wrinkles usually appear. To care for this area, it is necessary to use special products.

For example, for the area around the eyes, he suggests using eye cream or HydroMAX serum. They relieve puffiness, smooth out wrinkles and increase firmness and elasticity.

Cosmetics for oily skin

Cosmetics for oily skin care should contain:

• herbal ingredients (chamomile, witch hazel, lemon balm, sage, rosemary, quince bark, ylang-ylang),
• alpha hydroxy acids (fruit acids),
• urea,
• silicon,
• ammonium compounds,
• vitamins A and E,
• bisabolol,
• azulene and aluminum salts.

The use of natural mineral cosmetics will solve the problem of “blackheads”. It has antibacterial properties and protects the skin from UV radiation. An alternative to foundation can be concealer, which, when applied topically, masks skin imperfections. Zinc oxide in concealer will be an advantage.

Care for thin skin after 30

For this type of dermis, you can only use special fresh cosmetics marked “sensitive”. Due to its small thickness, this type requires especially careful and thorough care. In this case, you can use anti-aging products after 30 years, when the first expression wrinkles have formed. Twice a year you need to take a course of vitamins; vascular-strengthening dietary supplements will also be useful. Due to the great sensitivity, the ban on soap is especially strict. And homemade masks should not contain aggressive, drying components. Try to do without peeling. Many herbal compresses are prohibited, as well as wiping with ice to tone.

Say “No!” expression lines

It's no secret that people in our city often frown, and facial wrinkles appear quite early. Botulinum therapy comes to the rescue, the essence of which is to prevent the formation of deep creases at the site of facial wrinkles. Most often, to begin with, the doctor will suggest that you correct one area, for example, the area between the eyebrows. You will see the result, and if necessary, you can continue injections in other areas.

Care for oily skin after 30

The problem with such dermis is oily sheen. Attempts to remove it with the help of decorative cosmetics can only aggravate the problem, polluting the pores and leading to the appearance of acne. But properly selected care products can correct the difficulties. Appropriate alcohol-containing tonics and lotions, when applied morning and evening, will dry the surface and prevent the appearance of shine. Try not to use fatty compounds, and if you have to, blot the residue with a napkin.

Expected effect and duration

A properly selected set of cosmetological techniques will reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands, even out the complexion, remove blackheads, narrow enlarged pores, and also prevent the appearance of acne and other unpleasant phenomena. After a full range of professional procedures, the skin will become clean, matte and smooth.

To obtain the best effect, it is recommended to combine several cosmetic procedures simultaneously, which will further enhance the result and preserve it for a long time. Facial cleansing, peeling and biorevitalization complement each other well. With this comprehensive approach, it is possible to quickly restore the condition of the skin and give it a natural, healthy glow.

The resulting effect lasts for 6-8 months.

Care for combination skin after 30

The peculiarity of this type is that it requires different care at different times of the year.

• In winter, you need to treat it as dry: use foam or milk to cleanse, use scrubs once a week or less, moisturize, apply protective compounds before going outside. If your skin is dry before bed, you should apply night moisturizers.

• In summer, the rules are different; the dermis is cared for as if it were oily. Here special lotions and tonics for mixed types, light creams and gels are used.

Scrubs in this case are used only for oily areas. Tonics should be chosen so that they can simultaneously moisturize and relieve inflammation. Look for creams that contain a variety of anti-inflammatory botanicals, such as plantain, sage, chamomile, tea tree, etc.

Porous skin: specifics of care

Cosmetologists who treat patients with oily, porous skin know how difficult it is sometimes to achieve good results. It is not enough to precisely build a complex algorithm of salon procedures; sometimes you have to make a lot of effort to get the patient to change his view on the basics of home care.

About this and much more - specialists - practitioners with many years of experience, who have studied in detail the features of the “character” of oily skin. Elena Alferova, dermatocosmetologist, head. dermatocosmetology department, Valentina Trofimova, nurse-cosmetologist, Tamara Korchevaya, Ph.D., dermatocosmetologist, director, Center for Medical Cosmetology “Danae”

Features of porous skin

Oily skin with enlarged pores, which causes serious problems in youth, reveals its benefits at a more mature age, as if rewarding the owner for the torment that he endured with it. It ages more slowly and retains a greater reserve of vitality than dry skin. However, in the absence of adequate care, it loses its attractiveness, becomes dull, loose, and porous like a sponge. What we call pores are the openings of the sebaceous glands. The more sebum accumulates in the sebaceous gland duct, the more the mouth stretches. And if you do not properly care for such skin and do not clean it on time, then over the years the outlet openings of the sebaceous ducts expand even more, and multiple small funnels appear on the skin - like on the surface of a thimble.

Oily skin is plagued by three problems, all of them with the prefix “hyper”:

• hyperplasia (enlargement) of sebaceous gland cells.
• hypersecretion (production of large amounts of sebum);
• follicular hyperkeratosis (thickening in the area of ​​the mouths of the sebaceous glands).

The elasticity of collagen fibers decreases with age to one degree or another depending on genetic factors; over the years it becomes increasingly difficult for them to keep the skin toned. Due to the fact that the sebaceous glands are located on the border of the papillary layer of the dermis and epidermis, where collagen and elastin fibers are loosely located, gaping “holes” can form on the skin where the glands come to the surface. This is similar to how the cells of a grid stretch when it is filled. Therefore, neglecting skin care in youth can significantly affect its appearance over time. Ungroomed porous skin, becoming atonic, flabby, can look very untidy with age. With the loss of elasticity, the pores seem to spread wider.

Blame it all on improper care

Unfortunately, at our appointments we see many patients who do not properly care for oily skin. When asking people who turned to us for help, we repeatedly discovered that, having already oily skin, they use fatty creams. This is partly due to television advertising, which encourages our women to use anti-aging creams (as we know, most of them are created with oily bases). On the other hand, many people make the choice in favor of a rich cream based on their subjective feelings. When you ask patients why they use a rich cream, they answer something like this: “I probably have dry skin, because it peels, sometimes there is a feeling of tightness.”

What causes these uncomfortable sensations? The fact is that those with oily skin often “care” for it too aggressively: they wash it with hot water and soap, wipe it with alcohol and non-alcohol, but too active lotions, which dry out the skin greatly. Because of this, the surface hydrolipid film is destroyed, which normally maintains skin hydration, that is, prevents transepidermal water loss. As a result, the skin becomes dehydrated, redness, irritation and a feeling of tightness appear. Hot water and soap will indeed wash away the fat for a while, and the skin will be “drier” for a few hours, but then the sebaceous glands will react with a more significant release of sebum: the more the skin is degreased, the more actively it produces sebum. In addition, hot water itself expands the pores even more. Therefore, you should wash your face with warm water, and finish washing with cool or completely cold water.

People with oily, porous skin often overuse scrubs. Many people use them almost every day, damaging their skin. Usually, when a new patient comes to us with problematic oily skin, the first thing we do is forbid him to even think about homemade scrubs. After the skin has been restored, when it is possible to restore good moisture to it and relieve inflammation, we begin to work with the stratum corneum using professional peelings and preparations, using active but at the same time gentle techniques. In the future, when the skin condition improves and stabilizes, you can return to very mild homemade scrubs, but use them no more than once a week (in some cases, 2 times a week is acceptable).

In general, care for oily skin, both in the salon and at home, should be aimed at reducing the thickness of the stratum corneum, reducing the secretion of the sebaceous glands and optimizing the release of sebum to the surface. Let's take a closer look at what it consists of.

Salon treatments for porous skin

Peels. As we have already said, oily skin has a thicker layer of keratinized epithelium, which thickens even more with age, when the rejection of its particles slows down. Therefore, such skin especially needs peelings (mechanical, chemical, enzyme) and special products that promote proper and timely exfoliation of dead cells.

For porous skin, superficial peels based on glycolic, lactic, mandelic acids, and combinations of acids are recommended. They are recommended to be carried out in a course of 3-4 procedures once a week, followed by 2 procedures every 3 weeks, and then preventive peelings once a month.

The use of some superficial peels is quite possible even in summer; Moreover, in the summer season, when the skin becomes oilier, these peels slightly dry it out, neutralize the secretion of large amounts of sebum, and slightly “cover” enlarged pores.

In winter, due to unfavorable conditions (frequent temperature changes, dry indoor air), the skin often loses its hydrolipid protection, becomes less oily and even a little dry and more sensitive. In this case, even ordinary superficial peeling with fruit acids may be too aggressive for her, and then she has to choose another peeling, more gentle. For example, enzymatic.

In addition to professional peelings, the problem of hyperkeratosis is also solved by modern preparations for home use, containing a small concentration of salicylic acid (this is a classic keratolytic that loosens the superficial horny scales, reduces the thickness of the stratum corneum, freeing clogged pores).

Moisturizing procedures. Oily skin has an increased tendency to lose water, so it especially needs increased hydration. Hydration allows you to improve metabolic processes in the skin, since all biochemical reactions occurring in it require the presence of a sufficient amount of water.

In the salon, various masks (alginate, with hyaluronic acid, etc.) can be used for moisturizing. It is equally important to choose the right moisturizing products for the patient for home care. They should be from a line of professional or pharmacy brand cosmetics and be suitable specifically for his skin type. After we have nourished the skin with moisture, it needs to be “dressed”, covered with a thin protective film that will prevent transepidermal water loss (excessive loss of moisture from the surface of the skin). There are special protective protective creams for this purpose. Their use is especially important in windy weather and during prolonged stays in dry rooms. With good hydration, even the porous, textured pattern of the skin will not be so noticeable. Well-groomed, moisture-saturated skin is transformed: usually dull, it smoothes out, as if stretched, and acquires a healthy glow. At the same time, the mouths of the sebaceous ducts (pores) are no longer so contoured.

Speaking about skin hydration, I would like to touch on another aspect. Our skin is a hormone-dependent organ, and the degree of its hydration largely depends on the level of estrogen in the blood. For example, in the second phase of pregnancy, the skin looks simply great precisely due to the good estrogen saturation of the body. When ovarian activity fades (when the cycle becomes irregular, with unclear ovulation, a shortened second phase, scanty menstruation), estrogen production decreases, which is immediately manifested by dehydration of the skin. In this case, you can offer the woman a mild non-hormonal correction of the ovulatory cycle using a diet that includes foods with phytoestrogens, as well as prescribe medications with extracts of grape seed, kiwi, wild yam, etc., which also have estrogen-like properties. That is why in our center dermatologists are assisted by a nutritionist who, using the selection of certain foods, vitamins and herbal remedies, carries out non-hormonal cycle correction in our patients.

Cleansing is a mandatory procedure for oily skin, and it must be done literally from adolescence. Otherwise, the pores become clogged, sebum stagnates and expands the openings of the sebaceous glands. Stagnant lard turns rancid, and the skin even begins to smell bad. It may not be felt from a distance, but the cosmetologist notices it clearly when he bends over the patient’s face during cleaning.

With the advent of hardware cleaning techniques (ultrasonic, vacuum, etc.), cosmetologists began to abandon manual (mechanical) cleaning. She is often scolded completely undeservedly, considered too rude. The method was discredited partly due to the fact that not everyone knows how to professionally perform this procedure. In our opinion, for oily, heavy, thick skin clogged with comedones, manual cleansing, on the contrary, is indicated, since only they can effectively evacuate the contents of deep pores. The problem is that very often they are started prematurely, when the skin is not yet ready. Also, cosmetologists sometimes shorten the cleaning protocol. According to the rules, after manual cleansing, you can do a special therapeutic massage that will soothe the skin, and it is recommended to finish the procedure with a soothing pigment-constricting mask.

The cleaning schedule is determined individually. On average, mechanical, “general” skin cleansing is indicated once every 3-4 months, between them you can limit yourself to so-called atraumatic cleansing, which does not require squeezing out comedones.

Properly performed mechanical cleaning is comparable to performing an aerobatics maneuver. To do this, you need to find the micro-hole of the follicle. Since many sebaceous ducts are located at an angle, this is not at all easy to do. Sometimes the sebaceous secretion is hidden so deeply that it is impossible to immediately start with manual cleaning. You must first prepare the skin, pull the contents of the sebaceous glands to the surface, and remove elements of microinflammation. The skill of a specialist who performs cleaning lies in the fact that he knows how to approach this or that skin, what type of cleaning to use: with steaming, heating, squeezing or without them.

If the skin is inflamed, cleansing is postponed for 2-3 weeks until the active phase of inflammation subsides. At this time, cryomassage with liquid nitrogen is prescribed, which has a tightening, drying, cauterizing effect, as well as special soothing masks that resolve foci of inflammation. For home care, lotions with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects are also prescribed, which at first may even contain a small alcohol content. However, there is no particular need for this, because many very good drugs have already appeared that allow us to treat patients without cosmetics with alcohol components.

Massage and hardware techniques

For porous skin, a special therapeutic massage is recommended, which uses a lot of pinching movements. This massage will help remove sebum from the ducts; It is advisable to do it between cleanings. If it is performed regularly, the pores will become noticeably smaller.

With severe oily skin with enlarged pores, especially with age, peripheral microcirculation very often deteriorates. To cope with this problem, it is necessary to prescribe massage (plastic, metabolic, etc., which do not need to be done with massage cream). First, a course of 8-10 procedures 2 times a week (once a year); after 40 years - maintenance procedures once a month; after 45-50 years, maintenance procedures are carried out every week. Manual massage affects all layers of the skin: dermis, subcutaneous fat, blood vessels and muscles. It has a drainage effect, improves blood flow, and promotes cell renewal.

Hardware techniques can also be used to improve drainage. Pneumophototherapy, which combines two effects: vacuum massage and phototherapy, has proven itself very well in this case. With the help of a vacuum, the sebaceous secretion of the glands is pulled to the surface, which facilitates its evacuation. In turn, phototherapeutic effects provide an antibacterial, sebostatic effect. This technique gives very good results for seborrhea-prone skin with enlarged pores. After pneumophototherapy, the skin looks very beautiful and well-groomed. Redness caused by stagnation and impaired microcirculation disappears, the skin is evened out in color, tightened, and fresher before the eyes.

The secretion of the sebaceous glands consists of fatty acids, cholesterol, high-molecular alcohols, and contains small amounts of vitamins, hormones, salts and bactericidal substances, etc. Recently, publications have begun to appear in the literature that the sebaceous glands, along with sweat glands, are excreted from the body a fairly large amount of toxins and breakdown products. That is why we always advise our patients, especially those with oily skin, to undergo a gastrointestinal tract examination. The skin will never be beautiful if there are any problems with the digestive tract (if it does not cope with its job, additional toxins are released through the skin).

The success of treating oily, porous skin depends not only on salon procedures. It largely depends on proper home care, which the patient must be taught.

Oily skin care

As we have already said, one of the problems of oily, porous skin is hyperkeratosis. To reduce the thickness of the stratum corneum and remove dead cells from the surface, it is recommended to make masks at home from acidic products: kefir or low-fat cottage cheese, which can be alternated with masks from sorrel, strawberries, strawberries, red and black currants. It is very good to apply lemon juice and sauerkraut to your face (it is important to ensure that the juice does not dry out on your face, otherwise creases will form. Rinse your face with cold water after 5-7 minutes). All of these products contain fruit acids that have a slight exfoliating effect, in addition, they remove excess sebum. Such masks can be applied very often, almost daily, or in courses: do them every day for a week, then take a break. Next, use maintenance masks 1-2 times a week. Creams containing salicylic or glycolic acid can also be used to exfoliate the stratum corneum.

For oily skin types, it is also recommended to rinse your face with infusions of hops, wormwood, and St. John's wort. You can freeze the herbal infusion and wipe your face with ice cubes. These plants have an astringent effect. They tighten the pores a little, reduce the secretion of sebum, and the less sebum, the narrower the pores.

Regular care of porous skin, first of all, should be aimed at moderately cleansing it of oil (not “to the point of squeaking”!). Cleansing must be done 2 times a day - morning and evening. In the morning, the face is wiped with a special cleansing lotion; in the evening, a washing gel is used that has a chemical effect on fatty acids - in order to loosen them, rinse them and remove them from the face. Cleansing for oily skin always ends with cold water, since cold tightens pores.

To prevent clogged pores, you should not “fry” your face in the sun for a long time. The sun makes the lard thicker, so sebaceous plugs form more easily. Because of this, by the way, it is in the fall that there is often an increased outbreak of acne.

For skin with hypersecretion of the sebaceous glands, it is also important to use sebostatic drugs that will dry out the skin. For example, preparations with sulfur. The use of moisturizers and products aimed at preventing transepidermal water loss is also one of the important components of home care for skin with enlarged pores.

We have already said above that scrubs for oily skin should be very delicate (gommage-type scrubs are often prescribed). They are used no more than once a week, in exceptional cases - twice a week.

Unfortunately, if the pores are enlarged, they can no longer be completely narrowed either by deep peelings or dermabrasion. Although there will, of course, be an effect of smoothing the skin and reducing pore contouring. Therefore, the second task remains to camouflage the pores, which, although reduced with the help of professional care, still remain somewhat enlarged. I would like to note in this regard that now many lines of cosmetics have creams and cream powders, dry powders with reflective particles that create an optical effect of smoothing the skin. Many women do not use them for fear of clogging their pores, but in vain: these products are specially created for oily skin and do not have a comedogenic effect. Thanks to their use, not only enlarged pores, but also wrinkles become less noticeable, and the skin, reflecting the rays falling on it, seems to acquire an internal glow.

Since we are talking about makeup techniques, I would like to tell you about one more observation. In their youth, almost all owners of oily skin actively try to degrease it, fighting oiliness. Over the years, this habit of removing oily shine remains: women heavily powder themselves, trying to make their skin matte, while moderate shine not only does not spoil “age” skin, but also beautifies it.

It makes it more “alive” and hides small wrinkles.

We cannot change the type of skin determined genetically, we cannot significantly reduce the amount of sebum produced, but we can improve the characteristics and appearance of the skin, making it healthier.

With careful and adequate care, you can achieve good results. A thing of the past, greasy and “heavy” skin will become more delicate, remaining fresh and matte throughout the day. However, in order to avoid disappointment, you should not reassure patients with quick results. The effect will increase gradually and will take many months to achieve, and only if proper care becomes a daily habit.

Oily skin has an increased tendency to lose water, so it especially needs increased hydration. In the salon, various masks can be used for this (alginate, with hyaluronic acid, etc.).

Facial care after 30 with cosmetics from

Our company offers a wide range of products for the care of any type of mature dermis. Here you will find rejuvenation, moisturizing, and nourishing products for the skin of the face and around the eyes.

Facial gymnastics

There are 57 muscles in the facial part of the head. With age, they lose tone and the skin sags. With the right approach, muscles can be trained. This trend is called “face building” or facial modeling. Minimizing the effects of age not through cosmetic injections, but through the fitness of moving tissues.

What improvements can be observed after regular training?

1. 1. The oval of the face is tightened. The skin becomes more elastic, due to which sagging under the cheeks and on the neck is removed.
2. 2. Wrinkles are smoothed out. Of course, they will not go away completely, but in a calm state the creases become invisible.
3. 3. Improves complexion. This effect is achieved due to the fact that with active pressure on the face, blood flow accelerates and metabolism returns to its previous normal.
4. 4. The shape of the nose and lips changes. This point is controversial among cosmetologists, but those who tried face building noted that it is possible to enlarge the lips and narrow the tip of the nose.

gymnastics techniques for the face

The benefits of facial gymnastics are based on the fact that it does not require any special equipment. All you need is a mirror, as well as even breathing and posture. You shouldn't expect quick results; everything takes time. Changes will appear after 3-5 weeks, depending on the condition of the skin initially.

Despite the fact that this procedure seems harmless, it is important to follow two rules:

1. 1. Always consult a specialist. He will determine whether there are any subcutaneous formations and what condition the facial bones are in.
2. 2. Open wounds, scratches, burns and blisters are contraindications for gymnastics. This also includes exacerbation of acne, herpes, and recent surgeries.

How to quickly achieve the effect of a “well-groomed face” a few days before the celebration

If you need to get your face in order in just seven days, don't despair. This is quite real. Cosmetologists give the following recommendations to get a quick effect:

• apply a mask suitable for your skin type every other day;
• For dry skin, be sure to use moisturizers;
• procedures are carried out not only for the face, but also for the neck;
• Apply night cream exclusively before 10 p.m. to remove swelling;
• include green tea in the menu, the best option is to replace coffee with it;
• drink freshly squeezed juices from cabbage, celery or parsley every day;
• do acupressure before bed.

As a rule, these simple steps will help you prepare for the holiday in just a week and look young and fresh.

After 30, it’s still too early to start preparing for old age, which is approaching by leaps and bounds, because life goes on. Using home remedies every day is sure to bring excellent results.
