What are the products for skin firmness. Available methods to prolong the youthfulness of your body. Body mask with mumiyo

Has your skin become flabby and your figure looks unattractive even if you are not overweight? You may have lost weight rapidly. But this may not be the only reason. In any case, to make the body resilient again, you have to work to look attractive. And how to do it correctly and how not to interfere with the process of returning the elasticity of the skin, we will understand in order.

Reasons for sagging skin

One of the most common mistakes of losing weight is the desire to quickly lose excess weight, which can be eaten for more than one month or even a year. With the use of harsh methods, this is quite possible. Not really helpful though. In addition to harm to health, such methods have a stressful effect on the skin, which simply does not have time to recover.

In addition to rapid weight loss, the following reasons can affect the state of sagging skin:

• lack of sports in life. Covering a flabby muscle corset, the skin cannot fully maintain its elasticity;
• changes associated with age. Over the years, the body loses its ability to produce structural proteins on its own. And with their lack, the skin loses its tone and sags;
• insufficient moisture. Dehydration of the body is fraught with overdrying of the skin, which makes them lethargic and saggy. This may be the result of intestinal infectious diseases or prolonged exposure to the scorching sun;
• bad habits. Alcohol has a diuretic function, which is dangerous due to the loss of moisture from the tissues. And nicotine constricts blood vessels, which leads to insufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells. These moments weaken the epidermis and make it flabby;
• improper cosmetic care or lack of it. Incorrectly selected or low-quality cosmetics will not provide adequate hydration, nutrition and protection of the epidermis, which will lead to its early wilting;
• influence of external factors. Frequent exposure to the scorching rays of the sun and frosty air negatively affects the general condition of the skin, drying out and destroying its structure.

A lean body can be flabby for a variety of reasons.

What can inhibit the restoration of skin elasticity

On the way to a toned body and elastic skin, you should consider the points that can inhibit this process, even if all the necessary beneficial measures are taken in good faith:

• washing in hot water and visiting a bath. This type of water treatment deprives the epidermis of useful oils, leading to overdrying. This prevents the skin from adapting normally, inhibiting the recovery processes;
• tanning under the sun. UV rays inhibit the basic functions of the epidermis. Therefore, you should be less under the scorching sun. And if you can't avoid this, then be sure to use sunscreen with an SPF level of at least 30;
• visit to the pool. While swimming is considered to be the best sport for tightening the body, frequent use of the pool is dangerous for the harmful effects of chlorine on the skin. If you do not want to exclude this moment in any way, then be sure to take a shower immediately after training;
• using harmful soap. Many hygiene products contain parabens and sulfates, which can disrupt the water-lipid balance of the skin, and can also provoke allergic reactions. Therefore, it is worth abandoning such funds, especially with a high concentration of these harmful substances, in order to protect the skin from drying out;
• regular lack of sleep. Daily lack of sleep gradually builds up chronic fatigue and makes us vulnerable to stressful situations. This, in turn, increases the levels of certain hormones (cortisol, leptin) in the body that increase hunger;
• violation of the drinking regime. With a lack of the supplied fluid in the tissues, the process of dehydration begins, leading to overdrying and subsequent wilting. To avoid this, drink at least 2 liters of clean water throughout the day.

The basics of proper nutrition

To maintain a healthy skin, it is necessary to monitor the quality of food, consuming a sufficient amount of nutrients and vitamins, as well as refusing unwanted foods. And to restore elasticity, you need to pay special attention to this point. For full-fledged regeneration processes and metabolism in the cells of the epidermis, it is necessary to maintain metabolism. And in order for the body to work like a clock, it is necessary to adhere to some principles of healthy digestion:

• drink 2 glasses of warm water immediately after waking up;
• half an hour after that - a hearty breakfast;
• you need to eat every 3 hours;
• a snack is a complete meal;
• dinner no later than 3 hours before bedtime.

Somehow I lost weight in order to lose 10 kg. It's good that I came to my senses in time. Because the beginning was not very impressionable - in the first 5 kg my skin sagged a lot. I began to look for the reason and realized what was the matter - in the diet, because I decided to adhere to strict restrictions so that the process moves faster towards the result. But I did not take into account many of the nuances. Due to the lack of nutrients, the skin began to sharply lose its elasticity. And age (far from 20) exacerbated the problem. Having studied a lot of information on this matter, I decided to act differently - I simply refused harmful products. I ate often, but only healthy food. Weight began to decrease more slowly, but more comfortable for the skin. And gradually, just in time for the onset of the ideal weight after 3 months, the skin recovered and became taut.

Ways to make your body skin elastic

To tighten loose skin on your own, you have to try, because this is not an easy process. However, with the right integrated approach, the first changes will begin to appear after a month of diligence, and after six months the skin will obviously transform and tighten.

Cosmetics

Cosmetic products with a lifting effect play a serious role in restoring skin elasticity, but only in the initial stages of ptosis (sagging skin). They have a specially developed composition with active ingredients that activate natural processes in cells. This is not plastic, but the restoration of healthy vital activity of the skin. However, the result will be obvious only after regular use for at least a month, for each product the schedule of use is individual.

A high-quality lifting tool cannot be effective enough without the following substances:

• hyaluronic acid;
• collagen;
• elastin;
• fruit acids;
• caffeine;
• glycerin;
• retinol;
• vitamins;
• coenzymes.

When buying a cosmetic product for skin tightening, choose a well-known, trusted manufacturer with positive consumer reviews.

Folk remedies at home

Folk remedies are not as effective as finished cosmetics, but they are also very effective. After all, they have significant advantages - the use of natural and fresh ingredients in the preparation of compositions for procedures.

Healing baths

Healing baths with the addition of herbal infusions and other components will become a fixing procedure for losing weight. The use of various herbs that help tighten the skin will help tone the body, moisturize and restore fading epidermis.

For skin elasticity, it is useful to take baths with the addition of the following compounds:

• rosemary and wormwood (100 g each), brewed in 4 liters of boiling water;
• dandelion leaves, dry (2 kg) and fresh (1 kg), boiled for 10 minutes in 5 liters of water;
• 1 egg, beaten with 1 tsp. vanillin and 1/2 cup shampoo;
• 1 kg of bran, brewed in 2 liters of boiled milk, with the addition of 1 tbsp. l. honey;
• essential oil of rosemary, basil, bergamot or sage in the amount of 3-4 drops, diluted in 1 tbsp. l. milk.

To be effective, it is necessary to undergo a course of 12-15 bath procedures with a frequency of every other day. Each procedure should not exceed 20 minutes. It is advisable to maintain a uniform water temperature throughout the entire session - 38–40 degrees.

To increase the elasticity of the skin, you can take baths with herbal infusions or essential oils.

How a contrast shower helps to remove sagging skin

A contrast shower has a positive effect on blood circulation, accelerating it. Thanks to this, the regeneration processes are activated, the elimination of toxins and toxins is accelerated, the skin is toned. It is advisable to perform this procedure every other day for at least a month, but it will not interfere with the achievement of the desired result for prevention. The water temperature should be changed 5-6 times.

Wraps

The wrapping procedure is good because, in addition to nourishing the skin with useful substances that make up the prepared mixture, a greenhouse effect is created under the cling film that wraps the body. Thanks to this, the effectiveness of the procedure rises significantly. You need to do wraps in a course of 10-12 procedures, performing them every 2 days. After the first procedure, the skin will become smooth, soft, "alive".

The effectiveness of wrapping is to create a greenhouse effect under the film

The wrapping is carried out in the following order:

1. We go to a hot shower or bath to steam and cleanse the skin.
2. We will peel the necessary places.
3. We transfer the prepared mixture to the prepared skin surface.
4. We wrap ourselves with cling film.
5. Cover the top with a towel.
6. We lie under the covers for 20 minutes.
7. After removing the film, we wash the body under the shower.
8. Lubricate the skin with a firming agent.

A firming mixture can be prepared from the following ingredients:

• blue clay, diluted with water (milk or mineral water) to the state of gruel;
• honey enriched with citrus essential oils at the rate of 1 drop per 1 tbsp. l. product;
• coffee grounds mixed with olive (grape seed, almond, coconut) oil to the consistency of sour cream;
• dry kelp, previously soaked in water, or powder, diluted with water.

Powder of blue clay must be diluted with water to a thick sour cream. It is desirable to enrich honey with citrus esters to increase the effect. Coffee grounds must be mixed with natural oil, which helps to tighten the skin. Dry kelp is pre-soaked in water for ease of application

Massage

Massage should not be neglected due to the fact that this procedure helps to stimulate blood circulation and lymph movement, as a result of which cell regeneration and the synthesis of structural proteins are triggered, and the skin restores its former elasticity.

A full body massage is not very convenient to do on your own, but individual areas (abdomen, arms, buttocks, thighs) are quite possible. And for the treatment of the back, you can involve someone from the family.

The following types of massage are considered the most effective for tightening the skin:

• dry. Dry massage should be done with a natural bristle brush. During the procedure, the whole body is rubbed (on dry skin), starting from the feet, moving gradually up to the heart area, and then from the fingers to the shoulders and down to the chest. Pressing should be done of moderate severity so as not to injure the skin, but at the same time, they should be felt. The procedure is performed for 10-15 minutes before showering daily;
• honey. The purpose of the procedure is to cleanse the skin by pulling out all impurities, toxins and toxins through the pores due to the sticky properties of honey. It is not difficult to perform this massage. It is enough to lubricate the treated area with natural liquid honey and, firmly placing a palm on the skin, sharply peel it off. Continue manipulation until it becomes almost impossible to do so. If you repeat honey sessions every day, after 2 weeks the result will amaze you with its effectiveness;
• vacuum. This type of massage improves the lymph exchange of the skin and subcutaneous layer, creates microtraumas that stimulate regeneration. It requires special banks, which can be purchased at pharmacies. They are silicone or plastic, equipped with a pear to create a vacuum. The technique is simple: after close contact with the skin and creating a vacuum, the jar is applied over the entire treated area of ​​the skin for a certain amount of time (about 5 minutes for each separate area (abdomen, buttocks, thighs, etc.). Perform vacuum massage every other day at within a month.

Physical exercise

One of the essential points in the process of restoring skin elasticity is regular exercise. After all, the skin covers the muscles, which, being in good shape, contribute to the elasticity of the epidermis.

A set of exercises must be performed every 2-3 days to give the muscles time to recover... By correctly distributing the load on muscle groups (for example, one day to exercise to tighten the arms, back and abdomen, the next - legs and buttocks), you can exercise every day.

Each task must be performed in 3 sets of 15 repetitions with a break of 1 minute. You should start the movement on exhalation, return to the starting position - on inhalation.

For some jobs, weights of less than 2 kg will be required. If dumbbells are not available at home, you can use 2 liter water bottles.

Exercise 1:

1. Hold the dumbbells in your hands, lowering them in front of you.
2. Slowly lift the load up to shoulder level.

Raising the dumbbells in front of you, lead them in a straight line.

Assignment 2:

1. Hold the dumbbells in your hands at your sides.
2. Slowly spread your arms to the sides until a position parallel to the floor.

Extend your arms to the sides until parallel to the floor

Assignment 3:

1. Pull your arms bent at the elbows back, fixing the dumbbells at the waist level.
2. Smoothly straighten your arms, placing the dumbbells behind your back. The elbows should remain motionless.

Leave your elbows still as you wrap your arms back.

Assignment 4:

1. Holding a dumbbell in your hands, raise it above your head.
2. Smoothly lower the dumbbell down behind your head. The elbows should remain motionless.

When lowering the load, make sure that your elbows do not move.

Assignment 5:

1. Take a lying position.
2. Slowly lower your torso down, bending your elbows. The pelvis does not need to be pointed up.

Doing push-ups from the floor, make sure that the pelvis does not bulge up

Personally, push-ups are not easy for me. They are especially difficult to perform if the muscles of the arms are weak due to lack of physical activity. When I started practicing, I did push-ups from the wall - this is also effective at the initial stage of strengthening the arms. Later, I increased the load by pushing up from the sofa (you can use any surface above the floor level). I also tried to relieve the load by focusing not on the toes, but on the knees. And only when in this position it turns out to fall as low as possible, you can move on to a more difficult level - classic push-ups with an emphasis on socks and hands.

Assignment 6:

1. Standing in a light squat, tilt your body forward.
2. Extend your arms with dumbbells to the sides, forming a straight line.

Raising the arms to the sides at an incline trains the muscles of the back

Assignment 7:

1. Lie facedown on the floor with your arms and legs extended.
2. Raise your arms and legs at the same time. Try to fix this position for a while.

Performing the boat exercise, we raise our arms and legs at the same time

Assignment 8:

1. Lying on your back, bend your knees, place your hands behind your head.
2. Slowly lift your shoulders off the floor. The chin should not be pressed against the chest.

Do not press your chin against your chest when doing the upper press exercise.

Quest 9:

1. Lie on your feet with your arms extended along your body.
2. Raise your feet 30 cm from the floor.
3. Begin to cross your legs. Perform 15 doubles.

When performing the exercise "scissors" work the muscles of the lower press

Quest 10:

1. Lying on your back, put your hands behind your head, tear your legs off the floor.
2. Raise your shoulders and bend one leg at the knee.
3. Place the knee on the opposite elbow and vice versa. Perform 15 doubles.

Performing twisting, you need to touch the opposite knee with your elbow and vice versa.

Task 11: Standing on all fours, alternately raise our legs up, directing the sole to the ceiling

Quest 12:

1. Stand up straight with your hands on your hips.
2. Take a big step forward.
3. Lower your torso by bending your knees and rise up using your heel. Do 15 reps for each leg.

When performing lunges, make sure that the front knee does not protrude beyond the level of the toe, and the back knee does not touch the floor

I really love the lunging exercise because it engages all of the muscles in the hips and buttocks. Very effective: I did one exercise a day and the legs remain slim. This is me about maintaining the shape of the body. For a tightening, of course, it alone will not be enough.

Video: technique for performing the "lunges" exercise

Quest 13:

1. Stand up straight with a dumbbell in your hands.
2. Spread your legs wide.
3. Do a deep squat with your thighs parallel to the floor.

When raising your pelvis, try to create a straight line of the torso.

Cosmetology procedures

In case of slight flabbiness and sagging of the skin, you can contact the beauty parlor. This option is suitable for those who do not have time or desire to work on restoring skin elasticity on their own. After assessing the condition of the skin, the specialist will prescribe the most suitable lifting method out of several possible:

• mesotherapy. This technique involves the introduction of injections into the subcutaneous layer with special meso-cocktails containing hyaluronic acid, collagen, vitamins and other necessary active substances. The procedure improves blood circulation, eliminates puffiness, activates the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers, moisturizes the skin, thereby restoring its elasticity. For a lasting effect that will last for a year and a half, it is necessary to undergo 3–6 procedures every 7–10 days. The price of one session is 3-4 thousand rubles for each separate part of the body;
• thread lifting. The essence of the method lies in the introduction of special threads into the tissue, which have the property of self-dissolving, which after a while will begin to overgrow with a frame of produced collagen fibers. Proteins will be synthesized for another 1.5–2 years after the manipulation. Thread lifting is used for almost all areas of the body, except for the legs, due to their high mobility, which will lead to displacement of materials. Depending on how much and what kind of threads will be used, the price may be different. For example, you will have to pay at least 25,000 rubles for the treatment of the abdomen. After 2 years, you will have to repeat the manipulation;
• hardware techniques. These include RF-lifting (heating tissues with radio frequency radiation), LPG massage (working out problem skin with a vacuum roller with rotating nozzles), ultrasonic cavitation (exposure to a diode laser), etc. The purpose of hardware procedures is to restore skin elasticity by activating the natural production of structural proteins, launching regeneration processes, moisturizing and improving blood circulation. The price depends on the device used for the procedure. A one-time treatment of the whole body will cost at least 35,000 rubles, and they will need 3-10.
LPG massage is performed by acting on the skin with a special vacuum roller

Plastic surgery: how to remove sagging skin with the help of surgery

In severe cases of sagging skin, when home methods do not work, and cosmetology is already ineffective, you will have to take radical measures - surgical intervention. This method will bring instant long-term results that will last for at least 10 years. However, not everything is so attractive - plastic surgery has several serious disadvantages:

• the presence of traces after surgery in the form of scars and scars;
• an unpleasant period of rehabilitation - prolonged convergence of swelling and bruising.

Plastic surgery involves the removal of excess sagging skin, as well as the formation of the desired silhouette, replenishment of volumes where necessary, the result of which is a toned, slender body with clearly defined shapes.

Surgical skin tightening is divided into several types:

• mammoplasty - enlarging and lifting small or saggy breasts;
• abdominoplasty - tummy tuck;
• brachioplasty - correction of sagging skin of the arms from the shoulder to the elbow;
• gluteoplasty - shaping and lifting elastic buttocks;
• torsoplasty (bodylifting) is a complex lifting of the whole body, including lifting of the abdomen, hips, buttocks, lumbar spine and, in some cases, the mammary gland.

For a second, imagine the springs inside a sofa or bed - they may well act as a simplified model of the collagen framework 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 adhesion of the "braid" weakens, the spirals become fragile.

And the skin that has lost its support suffers from 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 smoothes out immediately, everything is in order. If not, you need to take action. Indeed, with age, starting at the age of 30, collagen production gradually decreases. However, this is also influenced by other factors.

Hormones

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

Scientists are still debating which of the enemies of collagen is stronger - deadlines, lack of sleep, chronic stress or bad habits (tobacco, alcohol). © iStock

Nutrition

For the production of collagen, the body needs amino acids, which it extracts from food. If there are not enough amino acids, the construction of proteins "freezes", and the skin becomes loose and loses its tone.

Lack of sleep and stress

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

Sun and solarium

Excess ultraviolet light provokes the formation of free radicals. And these particles are able to destroy collagen fibers.

How to improve the elasticity of the skin of the face

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

At 20 years old

Basic care is sufficient. For cleansing, choose a product according to your skin type -, or. Moisturizing is also necessary, including for oily skin (a light texture with a matting effect is suitable).

Protecting young skin is necessary 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, such as those with AHA acids: they remove dead skin cells and stimulate regeneration. In terms of protection and hydration, the cream should contain:

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

active ingredients that improve regeneration.

At night, you can apply products containing retinol, which stimulates collagen production.

At 40 years old

The synthesis of estrogen is already reduced, so the skin is less elastic and elastic, wrinkles become deeper. Use mild products for cleansing, and anti-aging creams with hydration, sun protection and oxidative stress for your daily care.

If the skin looks loose, 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 with gentle, soap-free products and exfoliate once a week to stimulate cell renewal.

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

How to improve the firmness of the skin of the body

Wraps

Algal, mud, chocolate - alternate them or carry out a course of 10–20 sessions every six months. If for some reason the salon does not fit into your life, buy professional mixes and do wraps at home.

Procedures with temperature changes

Contrast douches or showers activate blood circulation, improve nutrition in cells and start renewal processes. As a result, the skin becomes more elastic.

Such procedures are not indicated for people with reduced immunity or chronic diseases. Health should be almost perfect.

Massage

Improves microcirculation, which means nutrition of cells and tissues. You can do self-massage using products with a drainage effect and / or based on essential oils.

Physical exercise

Any activity in the fresh air enriches the cells with oxygen and improves skin nutrition. For the inner thighs, exercises such as lunges, jumps, "bicycle" are effective. If we talk about the inner surface of the hands, where the skin often sags, the following will help:

• push ups;

  pull-ups;

  "Propeller" for hands.

Salon procedures

Classic manual massage- tool number one. Perhaps nothing better has been invented yet.

Hardware techniques. Microcurrents, ultrasound therapy, radio wave lifting are aimed at enhancing collagen production and normalizing natural recovery processes.

Native hyaluronic acid injections (biorevitalization)... Regeneration processes are started.

Oils for skin elasticity.

There are many fatty vegetable oils in nature, sometimes we do not even suspect that some plant can give an oil that will help restore skin elasticity. These oils are used alone in oil mixtures or added to homemade body and face masks, creams, soaps and shampoos. The value of such oils is explained by their composition: a large amount of vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids and other biologically active substances. That is why vegetable oils are able to improve metabolism, stimulate regeneration processes in skin cells, strengthen cell membranes and prevent oxidation. They will also help the skin to cleanse and retain moisture.

Some oils are known, but there are also oils whose effects are practically unknown.

For example, we know about the effect of almond oil. It contains a lot of vitamins, especially vitamin E, which slows down the aging process. With long-term use of almond oil, you can achieve UV protection for your skin; the skin will become hydrated, fresh and youthful; fine wrinkles will be smoothed out, and the complexion will improve.

We also know about the action of peach oil. It can also increase the elasticity of the skin and give the skin a healthy color. In addition, peach oil relieves inflammation, tones, softens, moisturizes, brightens and rejuvenates the skin. For owners of sensitive and damaged skin, peach oil will be useful, because it is able to heal scratches and wounds, and improve the condition of the mucous membranes.

Often, peach oil is found in cosmetics - shampoos, balms, masks for the skin and hair. Children's cosmetics also contain peach oil.

Apricot oil works in much the same way and is suitable for all skin types.

Avocado oil will help to make aging, dry and flaky skin more elastic, because the oil perfectly nourishes and moisturizes the skin. The oil will be especially beneficial for the skin around the eyes. Avocado oil is used for sunburn. And if you mix avocado oil with 5-6 drops of rosemary oil and rub your body with the resulting mixture after taking a shower, then you will improve skin tone and also increase its elasticity.

Wheat germ oil is suitable for all skin types. The oil relieves irritation, swelling, inflammation, itching and flaking. Thanks to vitamin E, which is contained in the oil in large quantities, the skin becomes elastic and elastic. In addition, the oil can prevent the appearance of rosacea and reduce its manifestation.

Castor oil and walnut oil can also increase skin elasticity. Plus, castor oil is inexpensive, so turn your attention to it and include it in your skincare routine.

We know less about some effective oils, however, thanks to the trade relationship, we can still incorporate these oils into skin care and get great results. Here is one of them - kokum, Indian garcinia oil. This oil is extracted from the seeds of the fruit of a single tree that grows on the southwestern side of India. It is obtained by cold pressing. The oil stimulates cell renewal, softens the skin, improves skin firmness and elasticity, protects the skin from dryness. Garcinia oil is often used in medicated mixtures to treat ulcers, flaking and cracks.

Rice oil is also used for cosmetic purposes. Rice oil is obtained from rice bran. Rice oil softens and moisturizes the skin, has a regenerating effect, prevents the appearance of early wrinkles, so it will be useful for women over 50 years old. The composition of rice oil contains squalene, which is necessary for the skin for a normal and proper metabolism. The oil is easily absorbed and does not clog pores. Rice oil is also used as a sunscreen and baby skin care product.

Products that increase the elasticity of the skin.

We will not talk about all the foods that will help increase the elasticity of the skin, since there are many of them, we will tell you about some products. Most of these products can be bought at a general store.

Buckwheat will help maintain skin elasticity for a long time, and even nutritionists have called it anti-aging. Buckwheat groats can be used to cook not only porridge, but also other dishes. Buckwheat contains a large amount of rutin, a flavonoid that maintains collagen elasticity and slows down the appearance of wrinkles.

Silicon, as well as products containing silicon, are an element of youth, because they preserve the skin's firmness and elasticity. Silicon is found in cereals, bran, some fruits and berries. Cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, fresh herbs, seeds, sprouted cereal seeds.

If your skin becomes pale and has lost its elasticity, then this indicates a lack of iron. Iron is found in buckwheat and oatmeal, in red meat and liver, in egg yolk, in veal and rabbit meat. Pork, chicken and lamb also contain iron, only its content is slightly less.

With age, by 35-40 years, the processes of production of "youth proteins" slow down, the skin needs help.

• vomit;
• diarrhea;
• sudden weight loss;

Health & BeautyFacial Care

Skin elasticity

Our skin can lose firmness and elasticity, not only with age, but for other reasons.... This can be improper nutrition and care, dryness and dehydration of the skin, pregnancy, rapid weight loss, the effect of harmful ecology, etc.

Today, there are enough cosmetics that can correct the situation, but here we will talk a little about the use of fatty oils, as well as some products that return the lost elasticity to the skin, make it smooth and firm.

Oils for skin elasticity

There are many fatty vegetable oils in nature - sometimes we do not even suspect that an oil can be extracted from a plant that promotes skin elasticity.

Oils are used separately as a basis for oil mixtures, added to homemade creams, face and body masks, shampoos and soaps. Their value is explained by their rich composition: they contain a lot of vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids and other biologically active substances. Therefore, vegetable oils improve the general metabolism and stimulate regeneration processes in skin cells, strengthen cell membranes and prevent oxidation; help the skin to cleanse and retain moisture.

Some oils are widely known, but there are others we don't know much about..

The first group includes, for example, almond oil, which is very rich in vitamins - especially vitamin E, which slows down the aging process. If you apply almond oil for a long time, then the skin will be protected from UV radiation, it will become hydrated, youthful and fresh; the complexion will improve and fine wrinkles will be smoothed out.

Peach oil is also often used to improve skin elasticity. and gives it a healthy color; it also relieves inflammation, softens, tones and moisturizes the skin, brightens it and rejuvenates it. This oil is very useful for damaged and sensitive skin, as it heals wounds, scratches, improves the condition of the mucous membranes. Peach oil is often used in cosmetics, including baby products, shampoos, balms, skin masks and hair masks.

Apricot oil works in much the same way - it is suitable for all skin types.

Avocado oil helps to make even aging, flaky dry skin more elastic: it moisturizes and nourishes it; it is used for sunburn. This oil is especially useful for the skin around the eyes.

In order to improve skin tone and increase its elasticity, after a shower, rub the whole body with a mixture of avocado oil and 5-6 drops of rosemary oil.

Wheat germ oil can be used for any skin type: it relieves irritation, inflammation, swelling, peeling and itching, and restores elasticity and firmness, as it contains a lot of vitamin E. This oil also prevents the onset of rosacea and reduces its manifestations.

Walnut oil and castor oil perfectly restore skin elasticity... By the way, castor oil is inexpensive and easy to buy, so you should pay attention to it and use it in skin care.

Some effective oils in our country are known less, but today, thanks to the flourishing of trade relations, we can use them and get excellent results at the same time.

One of these oils is kokum, the oil of the Indian garcinia. This hard oil is obtained from the seeds of the fruit of a tree growing in the southwest of India, by the method of cold pressing; it softens the skin, stimulates cell renewal, protects against dryness, increases its firmness and elasticity. Garcinia oil is often used in medicinal mixtures for the treatment of flaking, cracks and ulcers.

Rice is a well-known culture in our country, but few know that rice oil is used in cosmetology. This oil is obtained from rice bran; it softens the skin, moisturizes it, prevents the appearance of early wrinkles, has a regenerating effect, and is especially recommended for women aged 50 and over. It contains squalene, which is necessary for the normal metabolism of the skin, it is easily absorbed and does not close the pores. It can be used to care for the skin of young children and as a sunscreen.

Borage oil, which is also called borage or borage oil, is very rich in unsaturated fatty acids, and their concentration is very high. It contains many other useful substances, so it is used in the treatment of skin and other diseases. It is used for eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, allergies, skin inflammation and even mastitis; include in the composition of cosmetics and dietary supplements; it revitalizes tired, aging dry skin, retains moisture in it, restores its structure, increases its protective properties and elasticity.

Products that increase skin elasticity

Whatever oils we use, we must remember that the elasticity of the skin depends on the amount of moisture in its tissues. The skin needs to be moisturized, and not only from the outside, but also from the inside - you need to drink not only tea or coffee, but also clean water. This will help a lot for relatively young women, but for those who are already aged, it is necessary to use cosmetics that bind moisture.

There are also a lot of foods that are important for skin elasticity., and it is impossible to tell about everyone here. Most of them are not exotic and are sold in regular stores.

Ordinary buckwheat, when taken seriously, helps to keep the skin supple. for a very long time. Nutritionists even call this cereal anti-aging, although not everyone likes buckwheat porridge, and they don't know how to cook other dishes from buckwheat. Buckwheat contains a lot of rutin - this is a flavonoid that maintains collagen elasticity and slows down the appearance of wrinkles, and unsaturated fatty acids - we already know their benefits for the skin.

Silicon is called the element of youth, and the products in which it is contained, perfectly maintain the elasticity and firmness of the skin. Rich in silicon: cereals, bran, some fruits and berries; cabbage, carrots, cucumbers and other vegetables; fresh herbs, seeds, sprouted cereal seeds, etc.

If the skin has lost its elasticity and became pale, then this may mean that it lacks iron.... There is just a lot of it in buckwheat, as well as in oatmeal, egg yolk, liver and red meat: veal, rabbit meat; slightly less of it in pork, lamb and chicken.

Selenium is also responsible for the elasticity of the skin.- it protects her from many aggressive influences. There is a lot of selenium in coconuts and Brazil nuts, seafood, tuna and sardines, pork and beef liver, eggs, garlic, brown rice, wheat grains. Fish and seafood also contain zinc - it also prevents the skin from losing its elasticity; it is also sourced from wheat bran, yeast, beef, veal liver, cocoa, pumpkin seeds, nuts and mushrooms.

If you regularly add sprouted wheat grains to breakfast, your skin will look young and healthy for a long time. Biologically active substances contained in them help to renew not only skin cells, but also cells of the whole organism. Wheat germ is especially rich in vitamins E and group B; add them to yoghurts, cereals, salads, and your skin will regain its elasticity.

If your skin has not yet lost its elasticity, then you are in luck - you just need to continue to maintain it in this state, observing some rules of a healthy lifestyle and eating well. Do not eat hot spices and sauces, fried, fatty, sweet and salty foods - you should not endanger your beauty and youth. Let your diet contain only fresh and natural products, and try to prepare food yourself, even if it seems to you that there is no time for it. Sleep as much as is required for proper rest; be outdoors more often; choose the right makeup.

Unfortunately, many young women today smoke, and smoking is skin poison. If you think that you cannot get rid of this habit, then come to terms with the fact that your skin will have an earthy complexion, it will become dry and early wrinkles will appear on it, or it will become too oily and covered with acne and blackheads - in general, it is better to forget about its firmness, elasticity and beauty.

And if beauty and youth are more important to you, then try to follow at least those simple recommendations that we give in this article.
