The subtleties of facial skin care after 20 years

Due to age-related changes in the skin at certain age periods, it is necessary to carry out special facial skin care. After 20 years, many girls notice that the condition of the face worsens, the first signs of age-related changes are observed. But not everyone knows what needs to be done to prevent and eliminate these phenomena. This article will discuss in detail the main processes that occur in the skin of the face from 20 to 30 years, as well as methods for their control and prevention.

For young skin, the owner of which is slightly more than 20 years old, elasticity is characteristic. Also, in most cases, enough moisture is retained in the skin of the face. In some cases of hormonal instability in the period up to 25 years, acne may appear, but not in such quantities as in adolescence. Nevertheless, it is at this age that it is better to begin to carry out comprehensive skin care and carefully plan the necessary procedures for the future.

After the age of 25, the processes in the body change and, as a result, the skin of the face begins to lose precious moisture. Therefore, there is a feeling of tightness, wrinkles and a general deterioration.

As a rule, between the ages of 25 and 30 years, the hormonal background returns to normal and acne practically does not appear in most women.

Closer to the age of 30, the process of moisture loss also continues, and in the absence of proper care, it also increases. A greater number of wrinkles also begin to appear, which requires concentration on the fight against them.

For each age period, there are certain rules, the observance of which allows you to extend the youthfulness of the skin and significantly improve its appearance.

From 20 to 30 years, the following nuances must be taken into account:

• Do not overload your face with makeup. The abundance of decorative products, in addition to polluting the pores, will also make you older. Long-term use of cosmetics can provoke premature aging processes, especially if you use low-quality cosmetics and do not wash it off at night.
• You can not squeeze acne. This process is fraught with infection and the appearance of even larger inflammatory processes. Also, acne and scars may remain on the spot.

• Try to exclude fast food from the diet, since spicy and fatty foods have a negative effect on the condition of the skin. Eat correctly, try to eat more fruits and vegetables rich in various vitamins.
• Try to sleep at least 8 hours a day. Lack of sleep can also provoke premature aging, worsens the general condition of the skin of the face, reducing its tone. It will also be useful to use a special mask for sleeping, especially if you like to sleep on your stomach.
• Protect your face from exposure to sunlight from a young age. Be sure to buy special creams, having previously calculated the necessary SPF filter.

After 25 years, you must adhere to the following skin care rules:

• Pay attention if its type has not changed, conduct a test to determine its type. After hormonal changes, a person may acquire increased dryness or vice versa - fat content.
• Also, by this age, it is worth deciding on cosmetics, especially with cream. It is better to use a specific cream for at least a year after reaching 25 years. If you often change the means, then side effects are not excluded that will worsen the condition of the dermis.
• It is also worth choosing a cream for the area around the eyes, given the presence in it of all the necessary vitamins. Please note that the composition contains vitamin E, acids of floral origin and phytoestrogens.

• The list of facial treatments introduces the use of night cream. It should be applied immediately before bedtime for a quarter of an hour, then its excess is removed.
• The use of serums will also be a new procedure.

The above rules are designed for the age period from 25 to 27-28 years, depending on the individual characteristics of the body. To properly care for the skin at 28-29 years old, it is important to consider the additional nuances associated with the appearance of wrinkles.

Girls should remember that at different times of the year, various external factors affect the skin of the face, especially from the side of weather and the environment. After 20 years and even earlier, you should protect your face from such influences.

In the summer, the sun is very active, excessive exposure to UV rays on the skin can dehydrate it and provoke premature aging. To protect your face from such exposure, it is recommended to use special sunscreens with SPF factor. Its indicator can be different - from 15 to 40, a specific figure shows the time during which the cream will protect the face in the open sun. If, without protection, exposure to beams is safe for 25 minutes, then the SPF figure shows how many times this minimum increases.

Therefore, choose a cream based on the duration of your stay on the street. Remember that you need to apply it on your face not only when you go to the beach, but also when you just leave the house in sunny weather.

In summer, it is also better to refrain from peeling, because it is during this period of the year that ultraviolet rays act most intensively, reducing the effectiveness of the procedure.

In winter, the sun is replaced by another effect - the wind. Gusts of cold wind significantly dry the skin of the face, so it needs additional hydration. Use moisturizers not only at home, but also before going out. Also give up intensive scrubbing and drink more water.

In the autumn and spring season, when the skin, like the whole body, often suffers from vitamin deficiency, it is necessary to introduce the use of serums for the face. They are applied a couple of times a day under night or day cream and penetrate into the deeper layers of the dermis. Also, these seasons are most favorable for peeling, since the sun does not act as aggressively, and there is no strong wind, as in the winter season.

To take care of your skin properly, you need to use an integrated approach, which consists of three stages: cleansing, tonic procedures, as well as moisturizing the skin. All of them are based on general principles, but the procedure itself is different for different age periods.

In the period up to 25 years should be used to cleanse the foam, as well as special gels, if you are the owner of the skin with high fat content. Moreover, these funds must be used regularly, and preferably twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. If your skin is prone to dryness, then choose a cleanser with a cream or oil texture. Avoid the use of soap, which in most cases tightens the face and sometimes even leads to peeling. It is most optimal for young girls to carry out the procedure in two stages.

First you need to completely rid your face of cosmetics, especially if you are actively using tonal and sunscreens. A hydrophilic oil will help you with this. It is applied to the face with massage movements and carefully washed off with warm water, without splashing it on the face. In the process of washing off, the product acquires a foamy texture and completely removes the make-up traces.

At the second stage, you should wash your face with foam, gel or soap with a creamy texture. A couple of times a week, in addition to foaming agents, you can also use compositions with abrasive particles, exfoliating all dead cells and contributing to an additional cleaning of the pores. The most common products for these purposes are scrubs. Owners of oily skin type are advised to pay attention to the presence of acids in their compositions, which additionally help eliminate acne and other shortcomings. But getting rid of keratinized particles using peeling is not recommended for young girls, since their skin is quite capable of independently recovering after scrubbing.

Young ladies often neglect such an important stage as toning, although it is it that allows you to moisturize and restore the balance of the skin after cleansing procedures. After using the scrub, the skin experiences special stress, especially if it is sensitive. Various tonics that do not contain alcohol, which are applied using a cotton pad, restore balance in the cells, and also remove redness.

Even if at the age of 20 to 25 years the skin may look quite healthy and elastic, this does not mean that moisturizing procedures should be neglected. They represent the application of a cream on the face, which not only maintains a moisture balance, but also supplies the skin with the necessary nutrients.It is very important to consider the type of skin, because depending on it, hydration can be light or intense.

For the dry type, it is better to choose such creams that will maximize the necessary supply of moisture, remove peeling and give elasticity. For combination skin, compositions with an average texture are suitable. Owners of greasy cover should opt for products with a light texture, which have the additional function of removing gloss. If you have a problem skin type, use the cream with caution, but rather, choose the option that is suitable for you individually, after consulting with a specialist.

In the period older than 25 years, it is recommended to completely abandon the use of soap for washing. In addition to washing gels and scrubs suitable for your skin type, you can also try the peeling procedure. It can be carried out most effectively in beauty salons, while special deep-acting formulations are applied to the face and then removed together with dead skin cells. Makeup after 25 years is removed with the help of products that delicately affect various parts of the face, especially the skin around the eyes.

Toning should be done using special lotions or tonics. They should also not have alcohol. In this case, it is desirable that the basis of the remedy was an extract of medicinal herbs.

Pay special attention to moisturizing procedures. It is important to choose creams that take into account age-related changes in the skin and enrich it with all the necessary substances. After 25 years, the composition of the funds should include vitamins P, A, C, E, which help to reduce age-related signs and are excellent antioxidants. It is also worth paying attention to the acids contained in creams.

A separate cream should be purchased for the area around the eyes, because after 25 years it is important to pay special attention to this particular area of ​​the face. Expression wrinkles become noticeable, and a regular cream does not allow them to be smoothed out, as well as to eliminate swelling and bruising as the cream for the area around the eyes can do. You need to use it a couple of times a day immediately after cleaning procedures.

Many ladies prefer to independently engage in the procedures of toning, rejuvenating and moisturizing the skin at home. In this case, there are many recipes that allow girls over 20 years of age to take care of facial skin with their own hands. The most effective are masks for all skin types.

Mask of egg yolk and rose hips. For its preparation, a tablespoon of dogrose should be filled in a thermos with a glass of boiling water and left for a couple of hours. Next, mix 1 teaspoon of filtered infusion with the yolk of one chicken egg, half a teaspoon of honey, as well as vitamins A and E, taken in an amount of 10 drops. For 20 minutes, the resulting composition must be applied to the skin of the face, and then removed with cool water.

A potato mask is also nutritious. It is necessary to make mashed potatoes from one potato, mixing it with warm milk and 1 tsp. butter. The consistency of the mixture should be as uniform as possible. It is applied to the cleansed face for 10 minutes and washed off with water at room temperature. This procedure helps to saturate the skin with nutrients.
