It is difficult to deal with age, especially in mature years, after 60 years. You can't argue with that. The specificity of the skin during this period becomes such that it is almost impossible to do without professional help.
But how you want to feel still young and attractive, that men turned around, and women admired the freshness of your face and said: “you look very good.” Facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible, but it will require additional effort, money and attention.
What happens to facial skin in adulthood?
Time cannot be stopped. Today you are a young girl with a smooth pink face, and tomorrow the first wrinkles appear. How quickly will this “tomorrow” come? Depends on a huge number of factors - heredity, ecology, nutrition, lifestyle, care, and even your attitude towards life (despondency, anger, resentment and eternal dissatisfaction with life greatly accelerate aging and shorten life).
In addition, by the age of fifty, hormonal changes in the body begin. It is during this period that many face deep wrinkles, sagging, unhealthy complexion and age spots. This is due to a decrease in the release of collagen and elastin. Regeneration also begins to work worse.
But you can help yourself! To do this, you need to choose the right care and introduce new healthy habits into your daily life. For example, self-massage. But first things first.
Main causes of skin aging
Skin ages for various reasons, but the main ones are time, care, habits, climate and genetics.
- Time spares no one. You can slow down the onset of the first wrinkles or smooth out their appearance, but you won’t be able to forget about them forever - you can’t escape them. The only thing that depends on you is a healthy lifestyle and the right habits. Then you can delay facial aging for many years.
- Improper care - there is a reason why they put an age marker on cosmetic products. You won't look younger using cosmetics designed for twenty-somethings. In different years, our dermis needs different substances.
- Bad habits - smokers and alcohol drinkers are immediately visible. The skin turns yellow and becomes flabby. Do you want to prevent this? Get rid of bad habits.
- Genes - some women may not take care of their skin at all and look perfect, while others make great efforts and still quickly face the first signs of aging. Heredity is to blame for everything.
- Climate - people living in hot countries age much faster. The point is the sun, which affects the skin like grapes - it turns it into raisins.
Procedures indicated after 40 years
At this age, the oval of the face is just beginning to “float”, a double chin appears, bags under the eyes, fat packets slide down. These are signs of gravitational aging: the face droops and looks haggard and tired. If care is not enough, the upper eyelids may droop, the corners of the lips, and facial wrinkles deepen. The following procedures will correct external imperfections.
Mesotherapy
A drug is injected under the skin, the basis of which is vitamins, minerals, amino acids, peptide compounds, plant extracts, medicinal substances (needed if the skin is problematic). The cosmetologist selects a specific product by assessing your skin.
Mesotherapy combats the following problems:
- loose and dry skin;
- shallow wrinkles;
- dark spots;
- dull complexion;
- blackheads
In 5-10 procedures, fine expression wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin is noticeably moisturized, brightened, becomes firmer, more elastic and radiant, and the oval of the face is tightened. Pores are narrowed, sebum production is normalized, and the inflammatory process is reduced. Mesopreparations slow down photoaging and the formation of age spots. To maintain the result, you need to carry out the procedure once a year.
Biorevitalization
Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronate) is injected under the skin in problem areas. The active substance attracts water molecules and stimulates the production of elastin and collagen. Thanks to this effect, the skin is noticeably tightened, moisturized and looks younger.
Noticeable results are observed within 1 week after the first administration of the drug. The preventive course consists of 3 procedures, which are done once every 2-3 weeks. Depending on the problem, the number of sessions can be up to 5. A repeat course is carried out six months later.
Indications for biorevitalization:
- very dry skin;
- pronounced pigmentation;
- deterioration of complexion;
- loss of skin elasticity, first age-related changes;
- acne;
- scars, scars, stretch marks;
- lack of volume in some parts of the face.
Biorevitalization provides deep hydration that skincare products do not provide. Metabolism in tissues improves, making the skin look fresher and healthier. Bags and bruises under the eyes become less noticeable, the rash goes away, spider veins disappear, and age spots lighten. The rejuvenation effect is more obvious than with mesotherapy.
What do we recommend giving up at this age?
Beauty and youth are directly related to health. And you need to start thinking about it not only at 50 years old.
It doesn't matter if you are 20, 35 or 50, exclude the following things:
- Solarium and long stay in the open sun (and don’t forget about SPF protection);
- Alcohol and smoking;
- Fast food, processed foods and other food waste;
- Plenty of coffee and tea;
- Skin care products that contain alcohol;
- Sleep on a high pillow.
It doesn’t matter if you find yourself at an alcoholic party or decide to eat a sausage at a picnic - don’t blame yourself for rare deviations from the rules. The main thing is that it does not become a habit and does not become a way of life.
Facial rejuvenation after 60 with moisturizing
It is known that the main negative changes in the epidermis occur due to lack of moisture and drying out. For this reason, microcracks and wrinkles begin to deepen even more, the skin wrinkles and age shows through. To prevent this from happening, you need to know the basic rules for hydration:
- Do not buy dubious cheap products, it is better to choose a natural product. You should not spare money when it comes to your own beauty. A cheap product can cause swelling or allergies, irritation or other negative consequences.
- Morning and evening, using a moisturizer, massage the muscles on your face and spend at least 10 minutes on this process.
- Don't sunbathe without sunscreen and glasses.
- Do not wash your face with alkaline products, use mild cleansers.
We offer several recipes for masks for rejuvenation after 60 years, which will maintain moisture, restore elasticity without the use of injections and surgical interventions and restore freshness.
Honey mask
It is prepared with honey, sea salt and fresh carrot juice. Mix all the products, take honey and juice in equal parts, and a pinch of salt is enough. Apply to face. Keep it for half an hour.
Sour cream mask
Take sour cream, cottage cheese and glycerin in equal proportions. Apply onto your face and do not wash off until a crust forms. We stand for another 10 minutes and only after that we wash.
Basic rules of care
A fresh, radiant and youthful face is the result of a healthy lifestyle.
- Take walks in the fresh air more often - this will make your sleep sounder and help you cope with stress more easily;
- Do gymnastics - so that the blood does not stagnate in the body, it needs to be dispersed. And movement in this matter is the best assistant;

- Get enough sleep - only during sleep does our body fully rest. Don't neglect it;
- Use sun protection - even in winter. UV rays have a negative effect on the skin. Pigment spots and deep furrows appear:
- Maintain water balance (at least 2 liters of water per day) - give up sugary carbonated drinks and replace them with clean water. The skin on your face will thank you.
Age-related skin changes after 50–55
Rejuvenating facial skin after 50–60 years is an important process that allows you to cheat time and slow down aging. Women at every age want to look young and attractive. After all, modern ladies even after 50 years lead a busy, active lifestyle. Cosmetic procedures along with plastic surgery will help them maintain youthful skin.
Menopause provokes hormonal changes in the female body. As a result, the skin is practically not saturated with collagen, elastin, and loses freshness and elasticity. In addition to wrinkles, deep folds appear in the area of the forehead, cheeks, mouth, the oval of the face floats, and the clarity of its contour disappears. A decrease in estrogen leads to dull, dry skin.
Time takes its toll, irreversibly changing the entire body. But this is no reason to despair! Innovative techniques make it possible to slow down natural processes, prolonging youth.
The main stages of facial skin care after 50 years
But we must not forget about proper care. It will help maintain a healthy complexion and prevent unwanted breakouts (yes, even women over 50 get acne).
- Cleansing is the most important step in any skincare routine. Complex processes occur in the dermis at night, which is why it is so important to cleanse it in the morning. Well, in the evening you wash off all the dirt that managed to settle on your face during the day. You can wash your face with just tap water, but there are few places where it is of high quality. Most often, it contains not very good substances (the same as chlorine), which negatively affect the condition of the dermis. It is better to use natural hydrolates. For example, hydrosol with rose is ideal for mature skin.
- Peeling - exfoliate at least once a week. This way you regulate sebum secretion and get rid of dead skin cells.
- Moisturizing – As we age, our skin tends to dry out more. This causes peeling and itching, and the furrows become larger. To prevent this, use a suitable moisturizer. Beauty 365 Cane Squalane will do the job perfectly. In addition, it can be used on any part of your body, it turns out to be very beneficial.
- Toning is an important step that many women neglect. You can use both hydrosol and plant tinctures. In winter it is useful to use lemon juice and honey.
- Masks - give preference to collagen-based masks. After all, this is exactly what your skin needs so much.
What are the types of cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation after 60 years?
Not every woman is able to trust a plastic surgeon, even if the desire to look younger is off the charts. There are certain risk factors, and an internal feeling of fear does not allow one to decide on such a step, besides, plastic surgery is quite an expensive pleasure, and many Russian women are far from affordable.
What to do in this case? Today, the cosmetology industry offers various methods of rejuvenation without surgical intervention. There are many techniques that have been successfully used for many years, tested and effective. Of course, they also require moral and material investments, but as they say, “Beauty requires sacrifice,” though not as bloody and painful as plastic surgery.
Here are alternative techniques that work to smooth and rejuvenate an aging face:
- Injection method;
- Hardware;
- Cosmetological.
Before choosing a method, you need to listen to the advice of a cosmetologist, or better yet, not one, but several.
This will allow you to paint a complete picture, understand how best to complete the task and choose the most optimal option. After all, we know how many people there are, so many opinions, and each development has its own negative and positive sides.
Injection method
It is the most commonly used and is offered in almost all beauty salons. It consists of filling hollow areas under the skin. The gel is carefully injected under the skin, thereby tightening sagging areas of the face and smoothing out folds.
The basis of the gel is hyaluronic acid; it is a natural substance in our body, therefore, in case of unsuccessful administration of the drug, the method is not fraught with complications.
Based on this, the injection method of rejuvenation after 60 years is popular and in demand.
Although the injections stop working after a certain period, and the procedure has to be repeated again, the results last for quite a long time. The main point of particular importance is the choice of a qualified specialist and a well-established clinic. Don’t take risks and don’t chase the cheapness of the procedure; it’s better to invest once and live in peace, enjoying your appearance, than to treat complications in the form of infections.
What should be taken into account: a specialized cosmetology clinic, sterility of materials, experience of cosmetologists. The doctor must be professionally trained, undergo a certain internship and have a good knowledge of the anatomical features of the human face.
Mesotherapy and Botox
What the mesotherapy technique is is an effect on the epidermis through a special mixture containing amino acids, vitamin groups, stimulating components for recovery and anti-inflammatory blocking elements. All these substances stimulate the independent production of necessary hormones and restore cells.
As a rule, the effect is achieved quite quickly and the skin becomes firm and elastic. Sagging areas are tightened, and the face becomes significantly younger. This method can be combined with other cosmetic procedures.
Using modern salon treatments
In pursuit of eternal youth, women are ready to do anything. Even go under the surgeon's knife.
Botox injections
- cosmetologists say that it is “beauty injections” that can smooth out wrinkles and restore the face to its former youth. In fact, aging skin is more likely to simply stretch under the volume of filler or even reject the foreign substance. And in the end you will look much worse than before the procedure.
Chemical and laser peels
— leave burns and create the feeling that you have been scalped. Probably no one wants to experience something like this. And then you won’t be able to go outside - since sunlight is contraindicated, and you yourself won’t want to show yourself to the world with a red, “freshened” face.
Ultrasound machines
— penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and destroy its structure. Experts assure that everything is being done to restore regeneration function, but in reality
Salon treatments are more harmful and addictive. Many girls have encountered the opposite effect and the incompetence of cosmetologists. To avoid a disastrous result, it is better to abandon them altogether. Moreover, you can achieve better results at home, using only your hands and natural ingredients.
Popular folk remedies
