At the age of 50+ in women, estrogen production is greatly reduced, which affects the condition of the skin. Facial rejuvenation after 50 years without surgery is possible with the help of cosmetology methods and competent home care.
Plastic surgery works wonders, but not all women can afford the surgery. But competent skin care at home is available to everyone. The most important thing is that it is regular and comprehensive.
Daily care plan:
- cleansing;
- toning;
- moisturizing;
- nutrition.
Twice a week it is worth making nourishing masks, as well as connecting self-massage and gymnastics to facial muscles.
The set of skin care cosmetics for women aged 50+ is the same as previous years. But the composition of the funds should be different.
Need:
- get rid of products that dry the skin - alkaline foams for washing, alcoholic lotions;
- buy protective cosmetics to protect the skin from the negative effects of sun, wind and frost;
- Replace conventional creams and tonics with anti-aging ones.
For cleaning and toning you need:

- Scrub gum (use once every 7-14 days depending on skin type);
- micellar water;
- non-alcoholic tonic.
It is useful to wipe the face with ice cubes - it tones and refreshes the skin. It is advisable to use decoction of chamomile, succession, linden for the manufacture of ice cream.
Use day and night creams for moisturizing and nourishing. Separately, you need to buy a cream for the skin of the eyelids, but for the neck you can use the same products as for the face. It is not necessary to buy an expensive cream, mid-range products are also suitable.
Good anti-aging creams contain:
- AHA and BHA acids;
- vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);
- coenzyme Q10;
- peptides;
- hyaluronic acid;
- collagen.
You can buy ready-made stitches or make your own. After 50 years, masks with oils, honey, fresh vegetables and fruits are useful. For tightening, use home remedies with starch, gelatin and homemade protein.
Massage will help keep you young. Ideally, it should be performed by an experienced cosmetologist, but self-massage is not excluded.
An effective technique is plastic massage. Provides several types of shocks - kneading, ironing, vibration. The procedure begins with superficial effects, then they move on to deep kneading.
Basic tricks:
- Ironing. Light strokes are performed in the direction of the smallest stretch lines (massage lines).
- Kneading is superficial. It is performed with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement is performed that is similar to drawing a spiral with small turns.
- Deep kneading. It is performed with all five fingers and the palm, the pressure should be more intense.
- eavesdropping. It is done with the fingertips along all massage lines.
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the center of the sternum along the collarbone to the ear and on to the temple.
Before the session, powder the face with sterile talcum powder - this is necessary to prevent the fingers from slipping over the skin.
Another technique is a complex massage with tablespoons. For the procedure, prepare two containers filled with hot and cold water, a few spoons, cosmetic oil.
The stroke is made of the convex part of the spoon. Ironing, rubbing, light folding techniques are used. It is advisable to use silver spoons, but you can take regular ones. Hot oil is applied to the skin before the session. The effect is made alternately with a cold and hot spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
An effective way to rejuvenate the face without injections and surgeries is gymnastics for the facial muscles. Learning to do exercises at home is not difficult, the most important thing is that the classes are regular.
There are different sets of exercises. Here is one of them (do each movement 10 times):
- Take air into your mouth and distill it in a circle from one cheek to the other, as if you were rolling a ball. First clockwise, then courage.
- Press the lip corners firmly with your fingers. Pull your lips out as if you want to kiss someone and overcome the resistance of your fingers.
- Touch the outer corners of the eyes with your fingers (with closed eyelids). Open your eyes as far as possible and lift your eyebrows slightly. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lower your eyelids and relax your muscles.
- Put three fingers on the area between the eyebrows, press firmly. Try to bring your eyebrows together, frown, overcome the resistance from your fingers.
- Open your mouth and try to pull your lips inward, as if you are hiding them behind your teeth. This movement lifts the chin.
- Touch the corners of your lips with your fingers and try to smile broadly.
- Pull your cheeks inward, then inflate them with air.
When you exercise, you may experience a burning sensation in the skin. This is normal as the muscles work and tighten.
The salons offer different ways to rejuvenate after 55 years without surgery. These are both traditional methods (massage, masks) and new methods (introduction of fillers, hardware exposure).
The essence of the technique of face and neck rejuvenation without surgery is to perform skin punctures and the introduction of synthetic threads that create a reinforcing frame. The effect of the procedure field lasts 3-4 years.
Lifting with strands is recommended for sagging cheeks, the formation of another chin, changes in the contour of the face, the appearance of wrinkles.
For the manufacture of threads are used polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold. The diameter of the strands does not exceed the thickness of a human hair. After the introduction of the thread is not felt and is not visible to others.
The essence of this procedure is the exposure of the skin to pulsating light. Radiation is a quantum current delivered by eruptions. The wavelength used is 400-1400 nm. The effect of the procedure is not shown immediately, but 6-8 weeks after the end of the course. During this period, the collagen frame and skin structure are strengthened, the face is tightened, and fine wrinkles are smoothed out.
Light energy heats tissues and destroys light-sensitive substances. Thereby:
- age spots disappear, complexion improves;
- turgor rises;
- the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is improved.
The technique is not suitable for getting rid of all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to remove deep wrinkles and improve the contours of the face.
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging. The bottom line is the impact on the epidermis with a laser. The top layer of cells evaporates, stimulating regeneration processes.
Sanding is one of the variants of peeling. But the effect is performed on the deep layers, compared to acid peeling. Only a master who has a certificate can perform the procedure.
This is a hardware procedure based on infrared exposure to the deep layers of the skin. It is performed using a device that emits radio wave energy.
The energy flow heats the deep layers of the skin to the compression temperature. As a result, the stretched collagen fibers are tightened, giving a firming effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, as well as for other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
An injection procedure, the essence of which is the introduction of special "cocktails" under the skin. The preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
With the introduction of mesococktails, the following changes occur:
- age spots disappear;
- improves complexion;
- dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed;
- the relief is equalized.
Drugs are administered with very thin needles. A lot of microtrauma is created, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and improves the microcirculation of the blood.
When planning rejuvenation without surgery, many women opt for injection procedures. In cosmetology, various preparations are used for injection into the skin:
- hyaluronic acid in combination with peptides;
- botulinum toxin;
- calcium collagen hydroxyapatite.
Selected drugs are administered by injection. Very thin injection needles are used.
Rejuvenation of the face and neck is performed by introducing special oxygen-ozone cocktails. After the procedure, the face gets a fresh look, wrinkles, acne marks disappear. The technique stimulates the production of collagen.
A home alternative to ozone therapy is to treat the face with hydrogen peroxide. However, external exposure is less effective than the injection technique.
Effective facial rejuvenation after 60 years without surgery is possible using the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of efficiency, the procedure can be compared to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
It is necessary to perform the procedure in a cosmetology clinic that has the relevant certificates. Non-specialist use of the laser may result in burns and other adverse effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery, which has many benefits:
- lack of severe pain;
- noticeable effect even after a procedure;
- no negative side effects;
- a short rehabilitation period.
An important advantage is an affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles) with pronounced efficiency. The procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - smoothes wrinkles, tightens, eliminates post-acne scars.
It is recommended to use fractional laser exposure in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- wrinkles, including deep wrinkles;
- flabby skin, loss of a clear oval on the face;
- scars, scars, spiders;
- enlarged pores, acne;
- dark spots.
But there are also contraindications. They need to be taken into consideration, because at the age of fifty, not everyone has iron health. It is forbidden to perform laser rejuvenation in such circumstances:
- large inflamed areas of the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- malignant neoplasms of any localization;
- heart disease;
- epilepsy;
- immune deficiency condition;
- neurological disorders;
- severe allergic diseases.
The patient should warn the cosmetologist about the presence of chronic diseases. Based on this, the specialist decides which technique can be used.
The technique consists in a laser beam attacking the deep layers of the skin. Since the beam is divided into many small beams, the effect is only on certain microzones, the rest of the tissues remain intact. In the affected areas, the cells "burn out", which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women aged 50+ are advised to use a non-ablative exposure method. Its difference is that the deep layers of the dermis are involved in the process. This makes it possible to smooth out even deep wrinkles.
During the first week after exposure, the skin will be inflamed. It can be noted:
- for the first 2-3 hours - a slight burning sensation;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- on day 2-3 - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be particularly sensitive to sunlight, so you need to apply a protective cream before going outside.
After the peeling stops, that is, after about a week, the effect of the procedure will be noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is tight, the face looks fresh. But to achieve a pronounced result, you need to take a course of sessions. Their number is determined individually.
Help in choosing the appropriate method of rejuvenation will be provided by a professional cosmetologist.
After 50 years, it will not be possible to achieve a good effect by using:
- light fruit peels;
- cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These treatments are good for young women aged 30+. After fifty and even more then sixty years, techniques are needed that provide a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Reviews of facial rejuvenation techniques are mixed: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
First review
With age, wrinkles and pronounced age spots appeared. Facial rejuvenation is contraindicated for me, so I decided to use non-surgical techniques. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am happy with the procedure, I managed without severe pain and bruising. Already on the 6th day, the face looked decent, even though it was more rosy than usual. I can say that there is a result - the eyelids tightened, the wrinkles became smaller, small pigment spots disappeared, but the large ones only became pale. I will repeat the process later.
Second review
I am afraid to do plastic surgery, so I cared for my skin very carefully. But after 50 years, "the face collapsed", there were cheeks, another chin, a network of wrinkles. I chose fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, the tears rolled from my eyes, I could hardly endure this execution. In the morning I got up and was scared of myself in the mirror - a face like a beaten homeless woman. Somehow survived 3 days, then it got better. But she could really "go out to people" only after 2 weeks. My eyebrows disappeared, the oval became clearer, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time I will not dare to endure this pain even for the sake of beauty.
