Why smoking accelerates the aging process?

Because nicotine and carbon monoxide from cigarette arising constrict blood vessels in the outermost layers of the skin, reducing the blood supply to the cells. Consequently, the skin loses oxygen and essential nutrients to stay healthy. In addition, many of the chemicals in the smoke of snuff cause the skin to lose firmness and elasticity.

The result? The skin is wrinkled and aging much faster than anticipated because of the cigarette. And not only wrinkle your face, but also your hands and inner arms.

While aging is part of life, we can do to delay in coming. One way is to quit smoking.

The 40 years mark the beginning of a period in which we must strengthen the care lavished on the delicate skin of our face. Do not wait for your skin shows a dull matte appearance and to take action, remember that prevention is essential to slow (or mitigate) the effects of time:

Exfoliate your skin regularly (1 or 2 times per week) to remove the dead cells off the skin tone. If creams containing microgranules are too harsh for your skin, use a softer scrub with enzymes such as papain.

Apply moisturizer daily. Water containing fills wrinkles, so the light reflects better.

Reduces pores. They used a specific product that tune, or a silicone base that contains reflective pigments and before makeup. You will get your skin smooth.

Use a serum with vitamin A or C at night. Vitamin A or retinol provides more density to the skin, because it activates the production of collagen fibers in the dermis. While vitamin C is an excellent treatment that erases express tired and evens the skin tone.

It uses a flash bulb on special occasions. The proteins derived from soy or rice and are present in these products is deposited on the skin and tense for hours.

Before bed, apply a wrinkle cream with highly effective ingredients such as retinol, which directly supports the production of collagen in the dermis, which fills in wrinkles and gives more density to the epidermis.

If you have dark spots used skin lightening lotion. The reason is that this types of cosmetic product containing substance such as kojic acid or soybeans to return the uniform skin tone.

Nutricosmetics resort to if you want to reinforce the action of the creams. Desirable products are rich in antioxidants (lycopene and vitamin E) and protecting the skin (grapes, resveratrol, etc.).

Twice a year, do yourself a 1-month intensive treatment with vitamin C ampoules. Erase the tired-looking, clear tone and smooth wrinkles.

A variety of treatments that help to firm the skin. Those are some medical spas or medical facts, provide faster results but there are options that can be done at home. The options do require home frequently.

Medical treatments to tighten skin

There are many treatments and are offered by some spas, dermatologists and plastic surgeons. It is better to go to a physician to a spa because there are more qualified personnel. But the spas often have more modern equipment than some doctors. Treatments include:

1 – Photo-facials. Lower laser intensity used

2 – Laser treatments of various types including Fraxel and Titan.

3 – Thermage

4 – Light therapy and micro currents

5 – Transplantation of stem cells from the patient’s body fat. This involves a small liposuction to remove fat. Stem cells help to promote the formation of more fat cells and this gives volume and firmness to the face. It is one of the most promising treatments but still not very common.

6 – Transplantation of fat (lipo grafts). They are like the above and some cells are “glued” as stem cells. It is very effective but need to go to a doctor with experience.

6 – Face Lift. Only recommended when there is much extra skin and wrinkles.

7 – Professional Peels

8 – Using injections of wrinkle filler

However, today there are many wrinkle creams and many other ways to achieve that wrinkles fall behind, though I opted for a natural look, I like to pretend something I’m not.

But hey, it never hurts a little pampering our bodies and so we bring you home wrinkle cream that can be used for what we want, remove wrinkles and also nourish your body a bit.

What we need is half an avocado mash to mix with a tablespoon of lemon juice, a cream and two of carrot juice. Once we get a paste apply it on the wrinkles and leave on for 20 minutes. Then rinse in cold water and go.

This cream can be used several times a week but I think using it two or three times a week will be more than enough for our face.

The home beauty routine should always include proper makeup remover, toning and moisturizing at night before bed and in the morning upon waking.

But to achieve the results we expect, the composition of our cream treatments should include some (or all) of the essential anti-aging ingredients, which we detail below:

Sunscreens:

Are essential to prevent photo-aging is manifested as loss of elasticity, wrinkling, age spots, dryness, etc. Filters can be mineral or chemical substances, since both types are equally effective.

Antioxidant and anti free radicals:

Because some vitamins (A, C and E), enzymes, botanical extracts (green tea, grape, etc.) And pure test substance (carnosine, for example) that’s making slow the chemical reactions that accelerate aging. To more effectively choose a cream that combines two or more.

Wrinkle:

May act at different levels: some substances can stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin to fill in wrinkles from the inside (retinol, vitamin C, peptides) and other skin taut (proteins from wheat and rice) for “ironing” a few hours wrinkles (lifting effect).

Depigmenting:

Preventing the formation and / or destroy the melanin in dark spots. The most used are kojic acid, arbutin and some plant extracts.

Other components:

Moisturizers that not only provide water, also retained (glycerol, urea, etc.) Substances which strengthen the skin barrier (ceramides, fatty acids) to make it more resistant to external aggression, and reflecting pigments that “fade” and remove wrinkles , creating the feeling of a smooth and youthful skin.

New discoveries:

The most innovative cosmetics include “stem cells” plants that act as repairing and regenerating the skin tissue. Among the latest antiaging cosmetics, we are faced with protecting and reactivating of sirtuins, which are enzymes that protect the genetic material (DNA) against free radicals.

The nutricosmetics always deserves a special place in the fight against signs of aging, and it represents the ideal complement to beauty treatments that are applied to the skin. To act from inside, its benefits are perceived in the face. Search these ingredients as antioxidants and essential fatty acids (fish oils, wheat germ and borage).

A good cleanser, an eye makeup remover, moisturizer, a scrub, mask, cream around the eyes, sunscreen and hand cream are the basic products to keep our skin in optimum condition. It is imperative, therefore, spend a small fortune on our toilet because the products mentioned, some of which, such as masks and scrubs can be home made, sufficient to meet the needs of the most demanding skins.

First, remember that the skin must be clean to breathe properly and rehydration needs to replenish its natural oils. A basic routine that includes these elements will be to clean skin morning and evening with special attention to hygiene around the eyes. The moisturizer for the face and neck as a moisturizer to the area around the eyes should not ever miss the start of the workday, without forgetting that the moisturizer should also offer adequate sun protection. These basic cares should be added an exfoliation and the use of a mask at least once a week.

Against Attack, Hydration

The loss of moisture from the skin is associated with age. After 25 years the water content of the epidermis begins to disappear, a process that is accelerated by external aggression such as snuff smoke, alcohol and poor diet and by staying in excessively cold or hot. The importance of these external factors is such that often even younger skin may show early symptoms of dehydration such as dryness, premature wrinkles, redness and pimples.
The cosmetic industry offers numerous solutions for dehydrated skin. Moisturizers are essential but not all are equal and have similar mechanisms of action. Some of them contain hyaluronic acid, which prevent water leakage from our cells and those that act like sponges attracting external moisture and passed onto our skin, not to mention those that also incorporate in composition different vitamins, ceramides and oils. The best way to find the right product for each person is to try different options in response to your skin type.
Moisturizers are used daily, morning and even-even at night without incurring forget that once a month should go to a treatment center to implement a thorough hydration. Are well-suite to complement emulsions and seaweed treatments and oils rebalances the hydration state of tissues.
Do not forget that although the skin of the face is what is most exposed to environmental assaults also the rest of the body suffers and accuses lack of moisture, especially with soaps and gels. It is therefore advisable to treat the body with body lotion to return the lost moisture.
Some people choose to use nourishing cream that restores the skin deficit substances. The most effective are made from protein collagen that keep skin smooth and elastic, and those containing nanospheres, tiny particles that release minute active ingredients resulting active throughout the day.

Clean Skin: Exfoliates, Tonics and Cleansing Milk

Aesthetics professionals recommend cleaning the skin of the face at least twice a day but no longer as excessive cleaning may dry the skin. Traditionally it has been mission astringent tonics address this task by eliminating waste from cleansers and help close pores. Today, modern cleaning products are so complete that the tonic has ceased to be an indispensable product while leaving a pleasant sensation of coolness on the skin that many people appreciate.
The cleansers often contain in their composition calendula extract and other similar active ingredients that promote asepsis, stimulate peripheral circulation and have anti-inflammatory properties. Cucumber extract appears frequently in their composition for their quick action and moisturizer, making it one of the substances most suitable for sensitive skin and irritable.
On the use of exfoliating creams that remove dead skin cells they should be used once a week in normal skin and skin three times too fat. Those with sensitive skin should use them less often and if the market peels are too aggressive or exceed your budget you can always rely on natural scrubs made at home base of lemon, apple or papaya.
Thus, steaming on the face and neck is one of the most classic to purify the skin and open pores. And is not the only advantage of this traditional method as it also relaxes the muscles, stimulates the glands and the lymphatic system, increases circulation and clearing the nasal passages. Combined with herbs, the application of steam is much more simple and effective. Of course, dry or sensitive skin should apply steam of lavender, chamomile, geranium and rose, the normal skin, lavender, rosemary and mint oily skin get the best results with vapors of rosemary, lemon or eucalyptus, and Skin with acne is highly recommended green tea steam or thyme.

Masks: Required For All Skin Types

All skins need to be applied frequently masks, the effect reaches deeper levels than the cosmetics we use regularly and help normalize the skin after cleansing while providing a relaxing and regenerating effect.
The first thing you need, as with other beauty products, is to identify the needs of the skin. Before using the mask, your skin should be clean. Next, the cream should be rubbed with rotary movements in the direction of the muscles of the face and always upwards. 10 to 15 minutes of application sufficient to obtain the desired results. Relax for their maximum effect and then remove the mixture with tepid water.
Although the market offers many types of masks designed for any skin type, you can make your own homemade face masks from fruit or vegetable substances. For example, mashed banana masks, those of papaya, apple pulp or melon liquefied benefit all skin types, particularly those who need an extra supply of moisture.

Forgotten Areas: Neck and Neck

There are still many people overlook the skin care neck and bust area adjacent to it is even very sensitive areas of aging and which clearly show the dryness and the horizontal lines that reveal the over time. Because this premature aging process in many cases increased by the use of alkaline soaps and excessive sun exposure.
The neck muscle is very prone to lose elasticity due to its low fat content and few sebaceous glands that make the skin dry and promote wrinkles. The home day care is essential for this reason often includes exfoliate those areas to remove dead cells at the time of bathing, apply moisturizer twice a day with upward movements, alternating hot and cold baths to strengthen connective tissue wear masks and moisturizers. The renewed interest in cosmetic products as sensitive to these areas reminds us that the skin care does not end at the chin and the impurities and drying are also evident in the neck and chest.

The Delicate Eye

By extreme delicacy we must pay special attention as we face a high risk area which can easily appear dark circles, bags and crow’s feet.
For the prevention of wrinkles around the eyes should be treated with light cream not too fat. But if the bags have already made their appearance it is best to refrain from using creams that could cause the opposite effect we want and opt for products in gel form, drains. And if that wrinkles are installed most effective moisturizers are made with collagen or hydrolyzed proteins that act as a protective barrier against external aggression preventing moisture loss.
Stress is also an important factor in aging around the eyes. Hence, a healthy diet and enough sleep are essential.
If you feel exhausted, products based soothing calendula; mallow and chamomile help fight tension and heaviness of the eyelids. And do not forget that this is a highly sensitive area which is lower epidermal thickness should not use exfoliating products in it. It is also important to use a quality eye makeup remover, usually little fat and aqueous formulations that are well tolerated by the eye.
Many of them contain chamomile extract which increases its decongestant and soothing properties.
The appearance of unsightly dark circles also depends on the fatigue and age, genetic inheritance. Often try to cover them but only got worse they look. So the Cover dark circles be used with discretion and always in our skin tone. In the market there are alternatives, such as liquid light reflectors that hide dark areas and plant extracts that activate blood circulation. Cover Dark Circles tone should be slightly lighter than the makeup and you are advised to apply the concealer over the area to try and blend then with your fingers or a sponge for a more natural effect.
