Skin care products are not the patent of young people, and the elderly also need to have their own exclusive skin care products. With the increase of age, skin moisture gradually decreases, subcutaneous fat gradually decreases, and skin becomes drier. With the deepening of skin aging, relaxation, thinning and wrinkles are inevitable, and spots and pigmentation, such as chloasma, are easy to appear. Moreover, skin tumors and precancerous lesions are more common in the elderly with decreased skin immune function and long-term ultraviolet radiation. At this time, it is particularly important to choose the right skin care products.
People of different ages need different ingredients to maintain. It is suggested that the elderly should choose skin care products mainly based on nutrition, and it is best to choose skin care products with appropriate oil content, anti-wrinkle and anti-aging, especially those containing the following four components.
Ginseng. Studies have shown that the main components of ginseng are ginsenoside, ginsenoside, a small amount of volatile oil, various amino acids and peptides, glucose, vitamin B group and so on. Adding ginseng extract into skin care products can promote the synthesis of protein, blood circulation of capillaries and skin activation, thus achieving the effect of moisturizing and conditioning the skin.
Bee milk. Bee milk (royal jelly) has a high content of nicotinic acid, which can prevent the skin from thickening. Moreover, protein, sugar, lipid and various bioactive substances needed by human body in bee milk can effectively control wrinkles, care for skin and keep skin healthy and beautiful.
Under normal conditions, vitamin A can relieve skin dryness and desquamation, and make skin smoother and more moist. Vitamin C can reduce pigmentation and make skin whiter and more delicate, but this kind of skin care products should be used as much as possible at night. Vitamin e can delay skin aging and reduce wrinkles; You can also mix these ingredients and add vitamins A and D, E and B or C for better results.
Hydrolyze protein. Hydrolyzed protein skin care products have good compatibility with skin, which is conducive to the rapid penetration of nutrients into the skin and the formation of a protective film on the skin surface, thus making the skin plump, smooth and wrinkle-free.
In addition to choosing the right skin care products, it is also important to master the correct skin care methods. In daily life, the elderly should pay attention to the following two points.
Choose the right towel. Many people can use a towel for a long time. However, rough and dry towels will cause strong irritation to the skin, and will slowly produce fine lines on the skin. In the long run, it will also stimulate the skin to produce melanin and cause pigmentation. Therefore, it is recommended to change the towel once every three months, and the washcloth also needs to be cleaned and dried frequently.
Massage the face. Frequent frowning and chin support can easily cause the skin to pull up and down or even relax, which can be relieved by proper massage. Massage the forefinger, middle finger and ring finger of both hands from the middle of the forehead to both sides along the lines of skin and muscle for 30 times; Push your hands from your nose to your temples 30 times. Bend the index finger and middle finger of both hands and push them from chin to temple for 30 times. Pay attention to washing hands before massage, and the intensity should be moderate.
