Tips and tricks for aging skin care
- Limit sun exposure.Harmful UV rays are the number 1 cause of premature skin aging.To prevent harmful effects, it is recommended to apply sunscreen every day, in any weather.Choose light textures - do not clog pores.
- Choose the right sleeping position.Wrong posture is the number 2 reason for the appearance of wrinkles.To prevent marionette lines around the mouth and wrinkles around the eyes, try to get into the habit of sleeping on your back.
- Watch your facial expressions.Wrinkles in the skin appear from repeated movements (laughter, laughter, yawning, crying, surprise).Avoid unnecessary facial expressions and wear sunglasses to avoid eye contact.
- Resist gravity, train muscles.The force of gravity causes facial muscles to sag, especially those that are never used.Training the subcutaneous muscles of the face will help your face look firmer and maintain a clear contour.
Leading a healthy lifestyle, avoiding bad habits and drinking a lot of water also affects the condition of the facial skin.
