No matter how healthy and smart the mind is, and how smart and intelligent it is, it is inevitable that women in their forties will be sad when they look in the mirror. Most women don't know until they are 35 years old that "they should no longer care about whether they are externally attractive". However, during the upcoming menopause between 40 and 55 years old, she will care about more basic issues-her self-worth, such as her husband and children don't care about her, loneliness and boredom, and depression ... Novak, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, pointed out.
Middle-aged women doubt their self-worth, which often makes them care more about their appearance than when they were young. "It may be the time when a woman cares most about her appearance in her life." On the contrary, when people reach the age of 60 or 70, they no longer pay attention to their appearance because they want to solve the problem of the deterioration of their health and that of their spouses.
In fact, after forty years old, aging does show up on the skin. How to care for the skin at this time is really important. Because of the loss of moisture and elasticity, coupled with the role of gravity, the dermis under the skin shrinks with age, and the epidermis relaxes and wrinkles. It takes about 2 seconds for a 20-year-old person to skin, 4-5 seconds for a 40-year-old person and 6-7 seconds for a 60-year-old person.
Another problem of skin aging is the dullness of the face and the appearance of senile plaques. Sunbathing and hormones are the causes of "yellow-faced woman" 80% is caused by sunburn before the age of 20. Therefore, dermatologists all over the world appeal to mothers, "Don't let children run naked and jump naked in the sun."
Dermatologists believe that if you reduce sun exposure at the age of 20 to 30 and use sunscreen and moisturizing products, you will not look "like 70 years old" at the age of 70.
As for hormone changes and low tide will leave traces, women will have birthmarks on their faces when they are pregnant; After menopause, brown and black spots are left on the face, arms and hands.
In fact, it doesn't take long to protect the skin from aging. It is enough to master the principles: cleaning, moisturizing and maintaining to reduce wrinkles and avoid spots caused by sun exposure.
wash one’s face
Dermatologists remind that no matter whether your skin is oily, dry or neutral, there is only one principle for washing your face, and that is to be gentle. Because if you rub it hard, it will loosen the subcutaneous tissue. "Every time you wash your face hard, it will ruin your face," said Krigman, a professor of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
Choose mild beauty products. Hard and irritating facial products, astringent lotions and scrub will all harm the skin.
wash your face with warm water.
Gently press with a towel, don't completely dry it, and leave a dewy layer on the skin.
Because the hair follicles under the pores are pulled down by gravity, the pores will become larger after the age of 30. Using mild skin conditioning lotion can close pores for 45 minutes, which is convenient for makeup and foundation. Soak the cotton pad, squeeze out the water, dip it in conditioning lotion and circle your face.
have a bath
The skin of the body ages more slowly than the neck, because it is less exposed to the sun. Generally speaking, however, after middle age, people's skin will become thin, dry and rough, and some people even have itchy skin. Cheeks, neck and arms will also become soft and droop uncontrollably, which is related to the loss of water, elasticity and gravity with age. However, people who experience severe weight loss will be more relaxed, so weight loss should be sustained and gradual.
Accelerating the removal of aged and accumulated dull skin keratin can make the skin look younger. Elizabeth Marty, a famous model and author of the Six-week Plan for Natural Health and Beauty after 30, suggested that everyone should take a bath with loofah, which is cheap and natural and healthy. This popular bathing method in Europe is actually the towel gourd cloth used by people in Taiwan Province Province.
The procedure is: the towel gourd cloth is rubbed from the lower end of the body to the upper end in the direction of the heart. Rub your hands, feet and limbs hard, and rub your hips, abdomen, chest and shoulders in circles. Soon you will find that the blood circulation is better, and the skin is more elastic, shiny and smooth. "The sooner you give your child such a bath, the better," Marty said.
Increase moisture
No matter what the advertisement says, you must first realize that moisturizing products will not increase the moisture on your skin, but will only help you keep the moisture on your face and body after bathing, thus filling the furrows of wrinkles and making your skin look smooth.
After taking a bath, you don't need to wipe your whole body thoroughly with a towel. Just wipe it gently and leave it a little wet. Then, you should apply moisturizing products to lock up the water in the cells and moisturize twice a day. It doesn't matter what brand you use.
Salicylic acid (AHA) can be used as a moisturizing agent to promote the renewal of sunburned skin cells and make the texture smooth and firm. It is best to discuss the dosage suitable for you with the dermatologist.
You can also choose an emulsion that won't clog pores. But pay attention to the PH value, especially for allergic skin. We should choose the weak acidity close to the skin, and the pH value should be between 4.5 and 5.5. It is meaningless to label some products as "pH balance", because it may mean acid with acid-base balance (which is good) or alkali with acid-base balance (which is bad).
Have a good sleep.
Adequate sleep can eliminate fine lines and stress on your face and make you look radiant.
Here are the cleaning steps before going to bed:
Remove makeup. Never sleep in makeup. Completely remove makeup.
Clean the skin with deep cleanser and brush it three times a week.
Wear wrinkle cream and eye cream to sleep.
Rub some oil or cream on your lips, because the skin of your lips is very thin, blood runs near the epidermis, and water easily evaporates, leading to chapped lips.
Another point is that it is best to sleep naked or wear soft cotton pajamas instead of underwear, because it can give the body a relaxed environment, which is conducive to skin relaxation and sleep. Sexual life research has confirmed that middle-aged women who have frequent sexual life (about 3-5 times a week) look younger than other "asexual" or "less sexual life" peers 12- 15 years old. Because people who have regular sex have fewer wrinkles and smoother and more delicate skin. Researchers say that both the brain and the body secrete a hormone during sexual life. It can relieve stress, turn back time, activate human cells, and get young physique and skin. In addition, a happy sex life can make people sleep more sweetly, and the skin is naturally whiter and smoother. Therefore, the sexual life of middle-aged women is essential.
Sunlight resistance
To keep your skin young, the most important thing is to apply sunscreen. No matter how sloppy you used to be, go out and wipe it with a straight face now to ensure that you will remain young for decades to come.
The simple way is to apply moisturizing products with sunscreen effect.
Make sure that the SPF is above 15.
Wear a sunscreen hat when going out.
Never smoke.
Smoking will hinder the blood from delivering nutrients to the skin, leading to wrinkles.
sports
Aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, swimming and dancing, stimulates the blood circulation of the skin and makes the collagen tissue of the skin nutritious. Collagen is a kind of protein, which helps skin to be firm and smooth.
N things you can do for your youth after 35:

Four cornerstones of human health:
1. Balanced nutrition. 2. Get enough sleep. 3. Exercise properly. 4. Good attitude.
After the age of 35, all aspects of physiological function gradually decline, especially women. Why?
First, 60% of women are iron deficient. From menarche to 40 years old, women lose a lot of iron, so women become yellow-faced women after 30 years old, which is caused by iron deficiency and anemia.
Calcium needs to be supplemented. After the age of 20, the calcium in the body is gradually lost. If you don't pay attention at ordinary times, it will cause calcium deficiency. The old man's bones are empty, which is a proof.
Therefore, in addition to nutrition, sleep, exercise and mentality, iron and calcium should be properly supplemented in order to have good health and immunity. Of course, in addition to the above, there is a very important aspect, middle-aged women must be satisfied sexually. Moderate frequent and harmonious sexual life is very important for the regulation of female body hormones, which can make women more youthful, smooth and tender and delay aging.
