5 ways to care for sagging and sagging skin in your 50s

 

 

Characteristics of aging skin after 50

 

There are four characteristics of aging skin after the age of 50.

First, the skin barrier is weakened.

Second, due to the weakening of collagen fibers and collagen fibers in the dermis layer*, elasticity decreases, and wrinkles and sagging appear.

Third, wrinkles and sagging caused by long-term facial expression habits.

The last is that the skin is turned off as the fat layer decreases.

Today, we're going to tell you how to take care of your skin for these people.

 

First, moisturize

 

Our skin barrier is made up of the cell membranes of keratinocytes and the lipid layer in between. As we age, our skin barrier gradually weakens. This weakening of the skin barrier prevents the skin from trapping enough moisture and results in dryness.

 

That's why it's so important to moisturize. But did you know that moisturizing is not just about applying it, but also about the cleansing stage? The lipids contained in the skin barrier are oily, so they can be washed away by face washes. If you wash your face too hard, such as double cleansing or using a strong cleaning agent, the skin barrier will be weakened.

 

Therefore, moisturizing should start with not overdoing it. To avoid over-cleansing, you should avoid thickening your makeup during the makeup phase.

 

On the other hand, the key to moisturizers are cholesterol and ceramides. Among them, cholesterol in particular plays a role in replenishing the gaps in the lipid membrane of the skin. Cholesterol is a bad thing that causes adult diseases in our body, but it is a very important ingredient in our skin.

 

In fact, people who take hyperlipidemia medications often have a deterioration in the skin barrier. When you take hyperlipidemia medication, not only the cholesterol in your body but also the cholesterol in your skin drops. Therefore, if you are taking medications for hyperlipidemia, it is recommended to consult an internal medicine specialist and reduce the amount of medication as much as possible and control cholesterol levels through exercise or diet to help with skin health

Second, ultraviolet control

 

UV rays are one of the most powerful causes of skin aging, so it's important to wear sunscreen. The problem is that if you have a weak skin barrier, you often end up drier out your skin when you try to wash your face with sunscreen.

 

Therefore, when it comes to sunscreen, it is important to first consider the cleansing process and the condition of the skin barrier, and then choose the right product for that. When you go outdoors, you should use products that won't wash away sweat, but if you're going about your daily life, you can use products that are easy to remove.

 

Third, cosmetics management

 

First of all, it is recommended to use only the necessary cosmetics and choose solid powder products. Liquid products are difficult to remove and often damage the skin barrier.

 

In addition, cosmetics that are known as natural extracts and organic products on the market may contain preservatives or unnecessary ingredients in the process of extracting plant ingredients, which can cause more troubles. Don't just stick to cosmetics with natural extracts, but think about the fact that products with ingredients that have clear statistics on side effects may be safe.

 

Antioxidants in cosmetics can help prevent sun damage and aging. One of the most powerful antioxidants is vitamin C. Vitamin C-based cosmetics can be helpful if used well, and it is also recommended to take about 1,000 mg (1 g) of vitamin C per day.

 

Fourth, wrinkle care

 

When we talk about wrinkle care, most people think of Botox or fillers.

 

However, you can be tolerant of the natural facial wrinkles that come with age. A gentle and good impression comes from comfortable folds.

 

Botox or fillers should always be used with caution. For example, forehead wrinkles are caused by the stretching of the eyelids as we age, resulting in the process of opening the eyes. At this time, if you put Botox on your forehead to paralyze the movement of your muscles, your eyes will become uncomfortable.

 

Instead of Botox, retinol-based ointments such as Stiva and Diperine can be applied regularly to improve the appearance of fine lines. However, since it can irritate the skin, it is recommended that you consult a dermatologist first.

 

Fifth, life management

 

Vitamin C, B vitamins, vitamin D, omega 3, and probiotic probiotics are beneficial for the skin. It is recommended to take it on a regular basis.

 

On the other hand, you should avoid sweets, dairy products, and floury foods as much as possible, and get enough sleep on a regular basis.
