What determines the elasticity of the skin

For a second, imagine the springs inside a sofa or bed - they may well play the role of a simplified model of the collagen skeleton of our skin.

Together with another protein, elastin, collagen forms voluminous spirals.

They, in turn, are firmly woven into tight "braids" - collagen fibers.

Over the years, the grip of the "braids" weakens, the spirals become brittle.

And the skin that has lost its support suffers from a loss of tone and elasticity and gradually becomes covered with wrinkles.

To check if you have a collagen deficiency, do this test. Pinch the skin on the eyelid. If it immediately smoothes out, everything is in order. If not, you need to take action. After all, with age, starting from the age of 30, the production of collagen gradually decreases. However, other factors also influence this.

Hormones

In the premenopausal period, the amount of estrogen, a hormone that regulates, among other things, the production of collagen, decreases sharply. The result is predictable: the skin quite dramatically begins to look a few years older.

Food

For the production of collagen, the body needs amino acids, it extracts them from food. If there are not enough amino acids, the construction of proteins is “frozen”, and the skin becomes loose and loses its tone.

Lack of sleep and stress

Scientists are still arguing which of the enemies of collagen is stronger: deadlines, lack of sleep, chronic stress or bad habits (tobacco, alcohol). In fact, all these factors are equally harmful.

sun and solarium

Excess ultraviolet radiation provokes the formation of free radicals. And these particles can also destroy collagen fibers.

How to increase the elasticity of the skin of the face

Much depends on daily care: the skin must be regularly cleansed, moisturized and protected. Only the details change depending on the age.

At 20

Enough basic care. For cleansing, select a product by skin type -, or. Moisturizing is also necessary, including for oily skin (a light texture with a matting effect is suitable).

Young skin should be protected mainly from excess ultraviolet radiation: this will help prevent the appearance of wrinkles.

At 30

The rate of cell renewal and collagen production decreases - the first wrinkles appear, the skin loses its elasticity. Use cleansing products with an exfoliating effect, for example, with AHA acids: they remove dead cells and activate regeneration. In terms of protection and hydration, the cream should contain:

antioxidants that protect the skin from the effects of free radicals;

active ingredients that improve regeneration.

At night, you can apply products with retinol, which stimulates the production of collagen.

The synthesis of estrogen has already been reduced, so the skin is less elastic and firm, wrinkles become deeper. For cleansing, use mild products, for daily care, choose anti-aging creams with the effect of moisturizing, sun protection and oxidative stress.

If the skin looks flabby, a cream with peptides that stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin will help.

At 50

Signs of the times: ptosis (sagging skin), wrinkles deepen, pores become more visible. Cleanse your skin gently with gentle, soap-free products, and use exfoliants once a week to stimulate cell renewal.

To increase elasticity, serums with peptides are useful. Apply to damp skin after cleansing, before using cream.

Unfortunately, among women there is often an opinion that elastic skin is one of the privileges of youth, and after 40 years there is nothing to think about - age takes its toll.

Meanwhile, what is age? As one of the popular authors noted, age is just numbers, and nothing more; it is people who put into them the meaning that they are used to, and do not want to go beyond stereotypes.

The same applies to the condition of the skin: after all, it can lose elasticity even at the age of 25, if you do not take care of your beauty, but lead an incorrect and unhealthy lifestyle, considering careful face and body care a whim that takes away precious working time.

Where to begin?

Maintaining the skin of the body in an elastic and elastic state is quite real. It is also possible to restore skin elasticity if it is lost, but for this you will have to make every effort - of course, if you really want to be beautiful and sexy.

There are many ways, and the first is physical exercises. Most women, when they hear about it, dismiss it as if they are offered something frivolous, and begin to refer to the fact that they have a terrible time. Of course, you can dismiss it, but it is sports, gymnastics, yoga and even just a fun dance that helps us, and therefore our skin, wake up and cheer up, recharge your batteries for the whole day, improve metabolism and blood circulation. The skin receives an influx of nutrients and oxygen, so the tone and elasticity return to it.

Water procedures that give elasticity

After exercise, you can take a refreshing or contrast shower - it stimulates the state of blood vessels, expanding and narrowing them. Just a month regularly taking a contrast shower, you will notice that the skin becomes prettier, strengthens, elasticity and softness return to it. You can even massage with a hard brush to make the skin redden, but not too much so as not to injure it.

Wet the skin, apply a body scrub (you can use homemade) on it, and rub the body with soft circular movements for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse with shower gel. Scrubs should not be used often: once a week, or even less often, is enough. You can use the scrub not in the morning, but in the evening, after the bath - it's even better, because it's easier to clean the pores of steamed skin.

Shower gels can be used every day - they will not bring harm to the skin. Choose a pleasant scent that you like and that too will help create a positive, positive vibe for the whole day.

After a shower, use a body cream: gentle, with a light texture. These creams are quickly absorbed and perfectly moisturize the skin. Follow this minimum program every day, and your skin will remain firm, soft and supple for a long time.

Home baths for firm skin

The bath not only improves the condition of the skin, but also soothes, relieves stress and uplifts the mood.. A great option is a honey-milk bath with rose oil. A cup of warm honey should be mixed with hot, but not boiled milk, then add rose oil (2 tablespoons). Pour the resulting mixture into the bath; lie in the water as long as you like it.

Herbal bath - you can buy them at a pharmacy or make your own. Take medicinal sweet clover, creeping thyme, pharmacy chamomile, birch leaves - 1 part each; naked hernia grass - 2 parts; boil everything in boiling water. When infused, pour into bath water. Such a bath not only cleanses the skin, but also restores its firmness and elasticity.

Infusions of rose petals, mint, oregano, lemon balm added to the bath rejuvenate the skin and slow down its aging. They are very easy to prepare, and the effect they give is amazing.

The next type of baths - mineral, does not require preparation at all.. True, to accept such a procedure, you will have to buy a lot of mineral water with gas, heat it up and pour it into the bath. As you dive into the bubbling liquid, your skin will simply “perk up” and feel great.

A bath with citrus juice not only restores skin elasticity, but also rejuvenates it., prevents the appearance of early wrinkles. It is necessary to squeeze the juice from six fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits) and pour it into the bath. The water in the bath should be slightly warm, or at room temperature - so the essential oils of fruits can have a beneficial effect on the skin of the whole body.

It’s good if you also drink a couple of glasses of freshly squeezed citrus juice: of course, lemon juice should be drunk diluted.

Natural scrubs help restore skin elasticity. The simplest and safest remedy is candied honey, as well as sea salt mixed with sour cream.

Effective masks

Masks are additional nutrition for the skin, especially if it is constantly exposed to negative external factors.

Take 1 tbsp. honey, coconut milk and Hercules ground flakes, mix everything thoroughly and apply on pre-cleansed body skin for half an hour. Rinse first with warm water and then cool. It is desirable to repeat such a body mask up to 3 times a week - it is simple.

Olive oil also moisturizes the skin well, saturates it with nutrients and vitamins, maintains youth and elasticity. This method is used by many women, replacing expensive creams with fatty oils.

Special attention - neck

The skin of the neck requires special attention - otherwise it will quickly sag, and it will be difficult to restore its former appearance.

Olive oil will help here too: it should be slightly warmed up and gently rubbed into the skin. Wrap the neck with a linen napkin (you can even use parchment paper), and on top with a terry towel. After 30 minutes, the compress can be removed and the neck washed with warm water. In addition to skin elasticity, this mask provides it with more effective protection. from wind and frost in the cold season.

How to make breast skin elastic?

It is very difficult to restore the elasticity of the breast skin, but careful and regular breast care gives results. In addition to exercises and masks, peeling and a contrast shower will help keep the skin of the chest in good shape.

For peeling the skin of the chest, you need to take 1 tbsp. natural yogurt and coconut pulp (can be replaced with coconut flakes), and 1 tsp each. oatmeal and sea salt. Mix everything thoroughly and apply the mixture on the steamed skin of the chest. Massage lightly for 5-10 minutes and then rinse with warm water from the shower. Repeat the procedure for three months, 2 times a week.

Breast massage with ice has helped women of all ages keep their skin firm and fresh.. It is better to use citrus ice - frozen fruit juice diluted with mineral water.

You can also freeze the infusion of citrus peel, and wipe the skin of the chest with cubes of this ice. To prepare the infusion, pour 0.5 liters of boiling water over the peel of mandarin and orange, and insist for a day in a closed glass container.

Another mask for firm breasts is made from natural yogurt (1 tbsp), raw egg and vitamin E oil solution (1 tsp). Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and apply on the chest with circular massage movements, then put on a bra for 20 minutes. Then carefully wash off the mask with warm water.

Of course, skin health and elasticity depend not only on external care, but also on nutrition. Nutrition is the basis of health and beauty: the ratio of all substances - vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, carbohydrates - must be correct. Otherwise, the skin acquires an unhealthy color, loses its firmness and elasticity.

Elastic and tightened facial skin

We always take care of the skin of the face, but there are masks that give it elasticity.

To prepare a French face mask, you need to take a glass or enamel dish, pour fresh cream (1 cup) into it, add a beaten raw egg, juice of a whole lemon, vodka (100 g) and glycerin (1 tsp). Mix everything thoroughly and wipe the skin of the face and neck before going to bed. The resulting mixture can be used for a long time - it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to six months.

The next mask is also French - at least it is called "Madame Pompadour". The recipe is similar: you need to grate a whole lemon, along with the zest, pour alcohol (100 g), let stand and strain. Then add 200 g of cream (sour cream) and glycerin (1 tsp). This composition can also be stored in the refrigerator.

The mask, named after the famous beauty Sophia Loren, is also prepared from cream (100 g), with the addition of gelatin, glycerin and honey (1 tsp each). Gelatin is poured with cream and left overnight, and in the morning it is heated over low heat until it dissolves. Then honey and glycerin are added to the mixture.

The mask is applied to the face gently, along the massage lines. This mixture is also stored in the refrigerator, but not for long - a week, and then you need to prepare a new one.

Such masks cleanse, smooth and tone the skin. If you use them regularly, the skin will become clean, matte, fresh and supple.

already appear on the skin in 20years. They are almost imperceptible, and yet do not spoil the mood. But from now on, it will depend only on you how long the skin will keep its flawless appearance, and at what age you will first think about visiting.

3. Proper nutrition

Skin elasticity is provided by collagen and elastin. In order for the body to have something to synthesize these substances from, include strong broths, jellies, aspic and other similar dishes in the diet.

In addition to protein substances, the skin needs vitamins, especially vitamin C, which is actively destroyed due to smoking or in the polluted atmosphere of the city.

What to do. If you want to keep your skin supple, citrus fruits, cranberries, currants, blueberries and other berries will help you. Cook dishes on bone broth, jelly and aspic - on gelatin. Ask your doctor to recommend you a vitamin-mineral complex aimed specifically at the condition of the skin, hair and nails.

4. Healthy vision

Vision itself has nothing to do with skin. But when you squint short-sightedly, wrinkles appear around the eyes and between the eyebrows, which deepen very quickly.

What to do. If you have poor eyesight, wear glasses or fit lenses.

5. Gymnastics for the face

Mimic gymnastics from the outside looks like an ordinary grimace. But these grimaces help to strengthen the muscular frame that holds the skin of the face. Due to this, age and mimic wrinkles will appear much later.

What to do. In the evening, after cleansing, apply a nourishing cream to the skin and do some exercises.

Physical exercise to increase elasticity

In fact, it does not matter what will be preferred - sports, dancing or yoga. All these types of physical activity will have a beneficial effect on appearance and well-being, as they will help to "disperse" the metabolism and improve blood circulation. Oxygen and nutrients will enter the cells of the skin more actively, helping them to say goodbye to harmful toxins and regenerate faster.

In addition, regular exercise will make the muscles dense and embossed, and body fat will not be able to settle in the "problem areas". Due to this, the skin will not stretch and lose its natural elasticity. Therefore, it is important to start taking care of your body in advance, even before the first age-related changes make themselves felt. And continue to do this regularly, supplementing with a complex of other methods.

Scrubs to make skin supple and supple

In order for the nutrients to have the best effect on the skin, it must be properly prepared beforehand. After cleansing, make a scrub.

And for daily use, you can mix coffee grounds with shower gel.

Massage and its options

Massage helps to make the skin taut and beautiful. It can be carried out in courses, resorting to the services of massage therapists from salons, or carried out independently at home.

The technique and means used in different areas will differ. For example, you should not use oil and active pressure on the neck either. All movements should be as smooth as possible, avoiding stretching and injuring the skin. It is allowed to use cosmetic ice from decoctions of herbs.

On the skin of the body, especially in places of accumulation of "extra", intense exposure, on the contrary, will be very desirable. For best results:

Massage products are used, with the addition of components that stimulate blood circulation (essential oils of citrus fruits, cinnamon or red pepper).
Apply massagers (manual, roller, electric).
Actively rub and knead problem areas.

Even if there are no noticeable skin problems yet, it is useful to massage for prevention:

On the face and neck, apply the cream daily along the "massage" lines, moving from the center to the edges.
Wash the body using washcloths made of hard natural fibers and a suitable shower gel. Then apply cream or milk.

Water balance to combat sagging

Food also influences appearance. From the negative impact of an unhealthy menu, the skin suffers first. With an excess of sugar, alcohol and snacks in the diet, it becomes dull and flabby, rashes appear. And during strict diets, elasticity and velvety are lost. This is due to dehydration and lack of fatty acids.

To eliminate dryness and restore balance, it is very important to observe the drinking regimen. The amount of fluid needed per day for an adult is determined by the formula: 30 ml per 1 kg of weight. At the same time, to quench your thirst, it is better to drink non-carbonated mineral water, without replacing it with tea, coffee and juices.

Lanolin and its role in the beauty of the face and body

Lanolin is considered another life-saving remedy that helps restore youth to the skin of the face and body. This substance in its structure is very similar to human fat, therefore it is easily perceived by the body and works effectively. On its basis, moisturizing, nourishing and softening creams and masks are prepared, added to finished cosmetics, and in “neglected” cases they are used in their pure form.

Due to its properties to absorb moisture and retain it, lanolin helps cells stay elastic longer, regenerate quickly and maintain elasticity. Therefore, it is most often used to restore dry and aging skin. But it is also used as a caring agent in other cases.

For example, to make an all-purpose cream, you can mix one tablespoon each of lanolin, water, and olive oil. You can apply this remedy on the skin of the face and body at night, and store it in a tightly closed jar in the refrigerator.

As an express method, the following mask is suitable:

Squeeze juice from half a grapefruit.
Add one teaspoon each of honey and lanolin.
Mix until smooth.
Apply to cleansed face and body for 15 minutes.
Then rinse with a sponge soaked in mineral water.

The main disadvantage of sheep "wax" is the risk of allergies, so before applying it to a large area of \u200b\u200bthe skin, it is better to make sure that there is no reaction. In addition, frequent use of this substance can lead to clogged and clogged pores. Therefore, lanolin should be used in courses, from time to time, taking a break.

Age-related skin changes are inevitable. But with home remedies, it can be delayed or made less progressive. The main thing is to carry out the procedures regularly and choosing the right methods.
