You are over thirty years old, you are beautiful young and full of energy, sometimes you do not even realize that for your body the next new chapter is beginning, which brings a number of changes. If you haven't noticed it yet, listen to yourself and start to watch your body closely.
Magic border
Surely you have already noticed that for some time it has been getting harder and harder to endure sleepless nights, which is manifested not only by the fact that it is difficult for you to get out of bed, but also by changes in your appearance. "Sleepless" skin loses its healthy color and glow, becomes dry and tired, and bruises and "bags" appear under the eyes. After thirty, he also slows down metabolism, which is why we gain weight more easily and our body is more and more difficult to process unhealthy food and stimulants provided to him, which of course translates into our health and the appearance of the skin. Time also affects our muscles, after the thirtieth birthday we are slowly losing muscle mass, while accumulating more and more fat, which, combined with lack of exercise and poor diet, affects not only our appearance, but above all health. The skin also loses its resistance, it is now that the face begins to appear discoloration resulting from its excessive exposure to the sun, slows regeneration processes and reduces collagen production. Around the mouth, around the eyes and on the forehead, the first wrinkles are more and more clearly visible, the skin becomes less elastic and prone to irritation. However, this is not all the thirtieth birthday is the time for another revolution in the hormonal economy.
The level of growth hormone decreases, which unfortunately affects the aging process, bone density decreases, the skin becomes less elastic, our hair and nails grow more slowly. With age, the secretion of melatonin, the hormone responsible for good, healthy sleep, also decreases. Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant that protects our body against the harmful effects of free radicals. When its level decreases, it becomes more and more difficult for us to fall asleep, the quality of our sleep is also deteriorating, which in turn has a negative effect on the secretion of other hormones, including the already mentioned growth hormone and testosterone. A decrease in testosterone in men reduces their libido, increases the amount of body fat, while reducing muscle mass, and sometimes also causes depression. On the other hand, the estrogen level slowly begins to decrease, which in turn reduces the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, so the skin begins to lose elasticity and smoothness. After the thirtieth birthday, thyroid disorders are also more often diagnosed, which also leads to a hormonal imbalance and unfortunately has an adverse effect on the skin, causing it to lose its healthy color, become dry, thin, "pasty" and prone to excessive keratosis.
All this sounds terrible, but I assure you none of these things happen immediately, aging is a slow and long-lasting process that we will not avoid, but if we take care of proper skin care as well as a hygienic and healthy lifestyle it will certainly run gently.
So how do you care for your skin so that it doesn't age too quickly, and what can you do to age nicely?
Take care of enough sleep
After thirtieth birthday, sleepless nights unfortunately already have a very negative effect on our body. Too little sleep leads to a hormonal disorder and slows metabolism. After a sleepless night you feel more tired than when you were 20-25 years old and you could have no trouble having fun almost until dawn, and then almost functioning normally. The same happens with your skin, after the thirtieth birthday, it also needs more and more time to be able to regenerate. If you don't give her enough sleep, you'll notice wrinkles and discoloration on your face faster. Your skin will look tired at first glance, and thus it will be easier to succumb to the effects, relentlessly passing time.
Reduce stress
Living in a constant race, more and more stressful situations at work, lack of time for regular meals and the aforementioned lack of sleep are just some of the factors that increase the so-called stress hormone - cortisol, which unfortunately has an adverse effect on our skin, among others. It is not without reason that it is said that 'anger in beauty hurts'. High cortisol concentration is responsible for inhibiting collagen synthesis, so the skin loses its firmness, becomes dry and prone to irritation and wrinkles. Too high level of stress hormone can also effectively regulate the work of sebaceous glands, leading to excessive sebum production and thus contribute to the formation of acne on our face. To make matters worse, healing processes also slow down during chronic stress, which is why fighting skin lesions can be long and difficult. Stress also causes that our body is not able to face free radicals, which also accelerates the aging process of the skin. Every day, it is worth ensuring a moment of relaxation, cutting off everyday problems, stopping work, at least for a moment on the side track and a good rest. Try, if possible, to reduce stressful situations immediately before bedtime, if you calm down, it will be much easier to fall asleep and allow your body to regenerate properly.
Moisturizing alone is not enough
If your thirtieth birthday is behind you, you should know that moisturizing is not enough for your skin. The inclusion of anti-wrinkle cosmetics in daily care is now a must. You should also help your skin fight free radicals that weaken its defensive functions and accelerate the aging process. The cosmetics you choose should therefore contain anti-oxidants. In their composition look for vitamin E, which has the ability to neutralize free radicals, protects the skin against the harmful effects of external factors, reduces the risk of skin irritation and photodamage, improves its blood supply, nourishes, allows it to maintain adequate hydration, makes it elastic and firm.
A very important ingredient is also vitamin C, which strengthens and makes blood vessels more elastic, improves skin elasticity, reduces the visibility of discoloration, and also supports and regenerates vitamin E. A very good solution for skin in their thirties is the use of a vitamin C serum treatment. cosmetics should also contain B vitamins that will reduce skin roughness, reduce excessive sebum production, ensure adequate hydration, improve color, accelerate skin renewal processes, and minimize the effects of UV rays on it; vitamin A, which activates skin regeneration processes and smoothes it, softens it, regulates the sebaceous glands, cares for proper hydration, evens color and anti-wrinkle; necessary unsaturated fatty acids strengthening the intercellular cement and the hydrolipid barrier of the skin, protecting it against excessive moisture loss, support epidermal regeneration processes, soothe irritations, regulate sebaceous glands and help maintain elasticity and firmness; coenzyme Q10, which improves the metabolism of skin cells, neutralizes free radicals, promotes regeneration, reduces wrinkles, firms, tones and protects the skin against impurities and hypoxia; Hyaluronic acid, which by binding water molecules, ensures proper hydration of the skin, supports its renewal, smoothes it, restores its healthy appearance and helps to maintain youth for longer.
Appropriate skin protection is also very important. After thirty, both the sun and other external factors: wind, frost, dust, too dry air and changing temperatures begin to leave more and more visible traces on the skin. Therefore, during the day we should choose cosmetics that will allow it to maintain adequate hydration, help rebuild and strengthen the protective barrier and thanks to the content of appropriate filters protect the skin against harmful UV radiation. On the other hand, cosmetics used at night, when the skin regenerates intensively and absorbs the nutrients contained in them much better than during the day, should help to supplement the deficiencies arising with age. Then it is also good to apply a nutritious serum before applying the cream, which will speed up the regeneration processes and strengthen the cream.
Take care of the skin around the eyes
We should always take care of thin and delicate skin around the eyes, regardless of age, initially moisturizing eye creams work great. The first gentle anti-wrinkle creams may be useful to some people after their twentieth birthday, and after their thirties they are simply a must. They should help the skin maintain adequate hydration, make it more elastic, reduce the already visible first wrinkles and reduce signs of fatigue. They should not lack antioxidants, i.e. vitamins A, E and C and coenzyme Q10; ingredients that improve circulation that will help reduce dark circles and bags under the eyes, e.g. caffeine or herbal extracts (chamomile, cornflower, mountain arnica or firefly); hyaluronic acid, which will keep the skin moisturized and smooth out fine wrinkles; cholesterol and ceramides that will help rebuild the skin's protective barrier, soothing irritations; panthenol and vegetable oils containing vitamins and necessary unsaturated fatty acids. Also remember about gentle, but very careful makeup removal, use cosmetics that will allow you to get rid of colored cosmetics, but will not irritate the delicate skin around the eyes. Also remember not to rub or stretch the skin. After thoroughly cleaning it at night, apply a nourishing eye cream, while doing a gentle fingertip massage that will improve blood and lymph circulation, while reducing the visibility of shadows and "bags" under the eyes. Thanks to it, the skin will also be better oxygenated and easier to absorb valuable nutrients contained in cosmetics.
Get rid of dead epidermis and stimulate the skin to action
Regular peels are a very important element of skin care in your thirties. They will clean the skin of dead epidermis, sebum in the pores of sebum, dust and the remains of colored cosmetics, improve circulation, even out the color, firm it, stimulate skin cells to regenerate and improve the absorption of nutrients contained in creams or masks. However, it is very important to choose the right cosmetic for your skin, if it is oily or normal, you can use a fine-grained peeling or a peel off mask that dries on the skin. For combination or dry skin that is more easily irritated, it is better to opt for delicate enzyme peels that contain enzymes that dissolve dead skin.
Time for a mask
After the procedure to remove dead skin, cleansed skin absorbs nutrients and moisturizers much easier. It is worth using this time and prepare a special mask that will perfectly complement the care.
Prepare a nourishing and smoothing mask from a potato cooked in a peel, when it cools down, peel it off and mix thoroughly with one tablespoon of Greek yogurt and egg yolk. You will also prepare a mask that improves skin firmness from mixed blueberries (1/4 cup), which are a rich source of antioxidants combined with honey (1 tablespoon), which is known for its nutritional and moisturizing properties. A mask made of highly chilled and mixed green cucumber mixed with chicken egg protein and vitamin A + E (content of 1-2 capsules) and a spoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice also works very well. The cosmetic prepared in this way has a brightening and intensively nourishing effect.
A real shot of vitamins
Skin in their thirties needs intensive nutrition from time to time - a real injection of vitamins.
