Care features
If you want to change the world, start with yourself. This truth has long been known to everyone, but still has its own grain of truth.Morning and evening complex of actions aimed at keeping the skin of the face in good shape, even at home, will give a positive result.
These are some of the main points that will help keep you young.
- Nutrition. Modern fashion trends in the field of proper nutrition risk leading to the fact that in 10-20 years we will have forever young grandmothers with the enthusiasm and energy of young girls. Of course, a sudden switch to a new diet after 50 will not lead to ideal results even in 1-2 months. But it is worth changing your diet if salt and sugar, flour products, hot spices, meat, chocolate and chicken yolk are present in large quantities. It is recommended to replace all this with fruits, vegetables and dairy products.
- Physical Education. The simplest physical exercises do not only tone the muscles. They help to improve blood circulation and, in general, affect the psycho-emotional state of a woman after 50.
- Water. Almost the entire planet is concerned about drinking non-carbonated mineral water today. This is one of the foundations of a healthy lifestyle that is fashionable today. And due to the peculiarities of the climacteric period, internal hydration becomes especially important. Experts advise to start your day with a glass of warm, still, clean water. The total volume of liquid in different sources ranges from 1.5 to 3 liters per day.

- Getting rid of bad habits. This point should be removed from your life altogether if after 50 you plan to look at least 40. Heavy smokers and alcohol drinkers suffer the most. In second place are sunbathing and a solarium (excess ultraviolet radiation in summer affects women's skin as badly as frost in winter). Then there are coffee and tea infusions, emotional and nervous shocks, high hard pillows, lack of sleep, washing with ordinary soap.
- Complex facial skin care. This procedure acts on the condition of your epidermis from the outside. It is a complex of industrial or home-made preparations that moisturize, cleanse and nourish the skin. The right approach to the choice of cosmetics will help you look younger in combination with the implementation of the rest of the items on this list.
Before rushing to the nearest store or pharmacy to buy expensive drugs, you should understand the scheme of their use, composition, and also consult with a beautician about the need for specific products for you.

Moisturizing
When the water balance in the body is not disturbed, then everything is given easier and faster. The same thing happens with moisturizing the skin of the face after 50.
There are 5 basic rules that will allow you to get closer to the desired result without the use of excipients.
- Get rid of alkaline cleansers that wash away the natural fatty film. It retains moisture inside the cells, and the alkali washes it away.
- Refuse from alcohol-based care products. They also dry out women's skin.
- Protect your face from excess sun, wind and frost.
- Make a healthy habit as a facial massage.
- Use high quality moisturizing masks and creams.
The latter sometimes turn out to be not particularly effective, their duration of action usually does not exceed 2-3 hours. Therefore, cosmetologists advise using "long-lasting" creams based on camellia oil, cocoa, vitamin E, linseed oil. Ideally, it is best to use the oils themselves in their natural form.

Cleansing and nutrition
Facial cleansing should be done once every 3 weeks. This will keep your pores clean and not damage your skin. It is optimal to use the scrub in the morning, immediately after waking up, or in the evening, before going to bed. It is best to apply the cleanser on steamed skin.
For women of mature age, cosmetologists recommend using scrubs with a mild effect. You need to rub in the product for no longer than two minutes, and then leave it on your face for another 5 minutes.After the described manipulations, just wash off everything with warm water without soap.

Washing is an important part of daily cleansing for mature skin. For women over 50, the use of soap is contraindicated, which contains an increased content of alkalis or glycerin.
The following products are most recommended for washing:
- herbal infusions (chamomile, linden, string or thyme);
- micellar water;
- wiping the skin with ice cubes (you can just freeze still mineral water, herbal decoctions, frozen pieces of fruits or vegetables).
It is necessary to carry out manipulations to cleanse the skin twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. After washing, you can use an additional tonic. It maintains the skin throughout the day and gives it freshness. The best time to use is in the morning.

At the final stage, the application of a cream or mask follows.
This point can also be broken down into several separate procedures that must be followed:
- use a moisturizing day or night cream;
- apply an anti-aging nourishing cream or mask;
- take care of the skin around the eyes.
The latter requires special attention, since the mature cover in these places is especially thin, delicate and vulnerable.

Cosmetologists advise using time-tested cosmetics with a good reputation. Of course, you can rely on customer reviews on the network, not forgetting that completely different creams, scrubs, masks, tonics and lotions can be suitable even for the same skin type.
If you wish and have a few free minutes of time, you can prepare cleansing and nourishing products with your own hands at home.

You can store such a mixture for no more than 1 month.
In addition to cosmetics, facial massages and gymnastics give excellent results. Therefore, an integrated approach to skin care after 50 years will give excellent results if all procedures are done regularly.

Massage and gymnastics for rejuvenation
All kinds of massages are especially popular among women from 40 to 60 years old: classic, relaxing, therapeutic, Thai, hardware, cosmetic.
The latter is also divided into three categories.
- Classical. Toning, giving the skin elasticity, reduces flabbiness.
- Plastic. Designed for aging skin: reduces puffiness, improves tone, helps to get rid of wrinkles and extra folds, sharpens the contours of the face, and the oval of the face more neat.

Information about self-massage options will also be useful. But here it is very important to observe precise and accurate movements in the right direction and places.
When starting to massage your face, apply a small amount of nourishing cream to it. Of course, the skin must be cleansed. The classic formula of home massage after 50 combines gentle rubbing, stroking and tapping with the pads of the fingers.
Hands make clear movements along the massage lines.
- Frontal zone: from the brow up to the beginning of hair growth, from the center to the sides.
- The nose is massaged from its tip to the forehead.
- The cheeks are exposed from the bridge of the nose and nasolabial fold to the ears. Each side is massaged separately.
- The chin massage is designed to improve the oval and contours of the face, so this procedure is performed from the center of the chin to each ear separately.

Do not forget to pay attention to the neck with an integrated approach to the procedure. The wrinkles on it first of all give out the woman's age.

Complexes of gymnastic procedures are concentrated:
- around eyes;
- around the lips;
- on the cheeks;
- on the chin;
- on the neck.
