Facelift (lifting) at home

Every woman wants to be beautiful and well-groomed. Over the years, most of the better sexes try to hide their true age because they want to look younger. Unfortunately, many factors such as poor lifestyle, illness, emotions, environmental influences leave a mark on the most exposed part of the body - the face. Many women who have the opportunity and opportunity turn to cosmetology clinics for professionals who can easily hide the flaws with surgery. But what if there is no such possibility? You just have to arm yourself with the necessary knowledge, patience and start restoring beauty at home.

Top methods for non-surgical facelift

After 25 years, the metabolic process slows down, the level of collagen production decreases, and the aging process of the skin begins. And if at this age you can limit yourself to the use of cosmetics, then after 35 it is desirable to give more radical methods. Experts suggest adhering to certain rules that delay the onset of destructive processes as much as possible before the first signs of aging appear:

  • insist on proper nutrition because we are what we eat. More vegetables and fruits in the diet provide vitamins to the skin and the whole body, the effects of toxins from fatty and fried foods weaken cell tone over time and disrupt the metabolic processes of the skin;
  • play sports. If you keep your body in good shape, your skin will be young and toned;
  • less exposure of the skin to negative environmental factors;
  • regularly cleanses, nourishes and hydrates the skin;
  • Touching your face while working with a computer can damage your skin
  • Drink enough clean water daily. Take 30 ml of water for each kilogram of weight;
  • do not sleep with your face on the pillow;
  • do not abuse bad habits;
  • Avoid drastic weight loss. After rapid fat loss, the skin does not have time to tighten due to weakened muscle fibers.

Important: You need to touch your face less with your hands to prevent bacteria from getting on your epidermis. And also not to stretch the skin, for example, rest your chin on your hand.

Facial plastic surgery using non-surgical folk methods is a fairly effective, convenient and inexpensive way to restore the skin's former youth. The list of tips useful in this case is by no means small, and if you do it all in combination, you can achieve the desired result very quickly and can slow down the aging process a bit. So beauticians recommend that you do not neglect the following measures:

  • lifting face masks;

  • hardware routines;
  • injections (mesotherapy, hyaluronic acid).

Important: It will be better for a beautician to prescribe a recovery course for the facial skin, taking into account the age specifics as well as the general condition of the dermis.

Of course, it's better to start implementing preventative procedures in advance, because it's easier to prevent changes than to fix them. Better late than never. Therefore, after 35 years, it is worth giving massages, gymnastics and injections to the main care, after 45 it should be focused on rejuvenation procedures with special equipment, and after 50 it should be a full-fledged activity.

Paraffin rejuvenating mask

First, you need to make sure that you have made a cosmetic paraffin that has undergone a special cleansing, not the wax from which the candles are made. Why are paraffin masks so useful? The thing is, when it freezes, a kind of film develops. This helps the underlying materials to penetrate the skin more thoroughly. And even when it hardens, the pores become narrower, the facial muscles are toned, causing wrinkles to smooth out.

Care should be taken to apply paraffin mask with spider blood vessels on the face, dermatological diseases, increased hairiness.If you perform this procedure at home, you should be careful to try to calculate the heating temperature correctly so that you do not burn yourself.

  6. Resist the mask for 30 minutes while not talking to strain the facial muscles.
  7. Carefully remove the mask by hand or with water.

Important: the other ingredients of paraffin are selected based on skin type: citrus essential oils for oily skin, olive or avocado oil for dry skin, tea tree oil for acne, aloe juice.

Facial massage

Facial massage is an irreplaceable way to lift. In doing so, it puts a strain on the muscles of the face, bringing them into tone, causing the epidermis to tense. When muscles weaken, the skin also weakens, sags and shrinks. Therefore, it is worth learning to self-massage the face in order to return the youth and freshness of the skin.

If you follow this procedure regularly, you may get positive results:

  • partial or complete smoothing of surface wrinkles;
  • to improve complexion;
  • increases skin elasticity;
  • disappearance of dark circles under the eyes;
  • relieves swelling of the face.

Just 10 minutes of self-massage every other day will help you forget about double chin and wing formation.

This simple face correction is tempting enough to get you started right away. However, first study the contraindications to your behavior so as not to cause further harm:

Facial massage lines
  • inflammatory processes on the skin;
  • presence of large pimples, abscesses, sources;
  • herpes, warts, large moles;
  • bleeding wounds;
  • hemophilia;
  • salon treatments in the last 3 weeks;

Beauticians advise you to follow important rules and prepare for the procedure:

  • study the basic rules of self-massage, watch a video of its implementation by professionals;
  • study the location of the facial massage lines in order to make every movement strictly through them;
  • Before each session, be sure to wash your hands and remove decorative cosmetics from your face;
  • massage can only be done in a good, peaceful mood with calm facial muscles - negative emotions strain the muscles and any effort will be meaningless;
  • massage time is best suited in the evening, to avoid swelling do not drink a lot of fluids before it;
  • repeat each movement 7-8 times;
  • massage every other day for a month, after which you need a two-week break.

Just before starting the procedure, apply a cosmetic oil such as refined coconut oil or massage cream to your face (or lubricate your hands). The massage technique is simple:

  1. Gently smooth the massage lines from your lips to your temples with your fingers.
  2. From the forehead, pull your fingers from the bottom up to the scalp.
  3. Use 5 fingers at a time from the center of the chin to the earlobe.
  4. The chin is worked out on both sides with both fingers, starting from the middle.
  5. Tap this area with your palm for 3-5 minutes to prevent double jaw formation.

After the massage, a slight redness of the skin is allowed, which indicates blood flow.

Darsonvalization at home

Darsonvalization - facial massage with the help of a special device that acts with a weak current, has a rejuvenating and firming effect.The effect of microconduction improves arterial blood flow, causing an increase in the availability of oxygen and nutrients. This process speeds up the removal of breakdown products and reduces skin swelling. Massage treatments with this tool allow you to rejuvenate the skin, make it more elastic, tighten the lower part of the face, and gradually reduce the double chin. Today, they produce small and affordable devices that are comfortable to use independently at home. Darsonvalization significantly increases the chances of a quick result in restoring the oval contour of the face.

Lifting cosmetics

It is very convenient to use finished cosmetic products - you do not have to look for suitable recipes, buy rare ingredients, you have to keep track of the expiration date, which is usually very short for self-made products. All you have to do is read the signs and choose the product that best suits your skin from the huge abundance on the shelves. And in the future, all that is needed is correct and regular application.

If you need to quickly change the look of your face, surface enhancement products will be saved. Their function is due to the formation of a film on the surface of the skin, which has a firming effect and thus performs immediate facelift. However, the effect of such funds ends with the removal of decorative cosmetics after washing.

Deep lifting cosmetics have a greater effect, significantly improving the condition of the skin. In this case, the beneficial molecules penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and other substances that affect the skin’s regeneration process. But the impact of using such resources will not show up so soon. Treatment usually lasts from several months to a year.

Serums - Youth Drops for Skin

Serum or serum - an additional cosmetic product for the face with a high concentration of active ingredients. Most often, sera are enriched with collagen and hyaluronic acid, which actively work on the rejuvenation and firmness of the facial skin.

The main difference between serum and cream is the duration of action of the product. If you have to wait at least 2 weeks for a good quality lift cream, using serum, the result will be noticeable the next day. This is due to the high concentration of anti-aging components and their high ability to penetrate the depths of the skin. Therefore, continuous use of serum is not recommended - usually the treatment process is 4 weeks to avoid dependence. That is why manufacturers manufacture this product in small bottles.

Read the instructions for use carefully before using the serum. It is most often applied to cleansed skin 2 times a day - morning and evening.Just a few drops are enough to treat the whole face and neck, and increasing the dose can cause discomfort and occasional allergic reactions. Therefore, you need to be careful with this highly concentrated product.

Important: Serum should not be used on fine skin around the eyes due to increased drug concentrations.

If you prefer finished cosmetic products, they should be chosen very carefully, taking into account the skin type, the level of expected effect and the degree of "neglect". It is very important to use quality products with proven effectiveness and good customer reviews.

How to get immediate effect in a few days

Sometimes there are times when it is very important to tighten the oval face and give the skin a new look, such as before an important event where you want to shine with beauty. And it is very possible! You will need to perform a special set of useful procedures that will allow you to present your beautiful appearance without hesitation.

Contrast massage to increase skin tone

A massage with water with a contrasting temperature helps to quickly improve the contour, tone, refresh and make the facial muscle structure more expressive. To prepare it, make 2 bowls of water - one should contain cold salt water and the other should be warm. Soak the terry towel in cold water and apply it on your face for a few seconds, then dip the towel in a bowl of warm water and repeat the manipulation. Change the temperature 8-10 times.

Milk - a rejuvenating agent for the facial skin

Milk Ice

Ice cosmetic procedures are very effective in toning, refreshing and smoothing out the wrinkles of the epidermis. As a result of contact with ice, the temperature of the skin drops suddenly, causing the blood vessels to narrow. With their later dilation, the blood enters them more intensely.

Ice cubes with milk have a double effect on the skin. After all, milk, which contains large amounts of potassium and calcium, stimulates the production of collagen, which gives the skin firmness, elasticity and firmness. The vitamin A in it eliminates dryness and exfoliation, and vitamin B6 forms new skin cells. Upon contact with the epidermis, after achieving a tonic effect, the cold cubes begin to melt, becoming a useful fluid that is intensively absorbed into the skin. With this simple and quick procedure, it quickly gives your skin a fresh, radiant look.
