In a constant rush to
get everywhere and make everything happen, we’ve become so skilled and prompt
with our actions that we’ve almost transformed into flesh-and-blood superhumans
who are not only beating time by squeezing 48 hours’ worth of action into a 24-hour
day but superhumans who are progressively aging into a youthful shape.
It is no secret that we’re
collectively, more or less, obsessed with the way we look. Call it superficial,
you have all the right to do so – but we can’t help it. We are repeatedly
bombed with Hollywood-imposed standards, gorgeous women and men who at their
50s look better than some 20-year-olds do and, with that in mind, how could we
not want to work on our looks? It’s an only natural instinct.
Luckily for everyone,
managing to beat your birth certificate data with your looks is now easier than
ever; with various skin rejuvenation methods everyone can take what’s most
suitable for their skin type and/or expectations and go back in time a decade
or two by staying put in the 21st century.
Here’s how:
1) Natural
Remedies & Discipline
Turning to Mother
Nature for help is the first logical choice; natural facial masks, regulated/balanced diet and liquid consumption are the first steps to a
rejuvenated skin. Drinking as much water as possible (approximately two liters
(2l) a day) and divorcingyourself from all the bad habits such as smoking,
drinking alcohol and eating fried foodswill help your skin gain its power back
and look fresher, get tighter and regain its initial glow.
2) Skin
Creams
Creams aiding in
preventing aging, i.e. neutralizing age-signs on the face and neck as much as
possible are the invention of the era!Naturally, centuries back, beauty creams
were popular as well but 21st century has brought about a revolution
in the beauty industry –from spectacularly efficient
eye creams, moisturizers and
line-reducing serums to skin tightening formulas and fantastic hydrating
creams, beauty products are now everything to rely on. They’ll improve your
skin tone, soften fine lines, and firm skin helping it look brighter and feel
firmer while improving its texture and diminishing dark spots. Who wouldn’t
want a few in their medicine cabinet?
3) Face
yoga
Face yoga is a
non-invasive alternative to Botox and surgery, and everyone is going crazy
about it. Its correct application increases blood circulation, “allowing more
oxygen and more nourishment to reach the cells of the skin”. Practiced
regularly, face yoga will leave your skin with a clear, healthy complexion and
a beautiful glow which has a better ability to absorb moisture and is released
from toxins that generally do it harm.
Face yoga techniques
are designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production which is giving you a
more supple, smoother and tighter-looking skin. Amazing, right?
4) Surgical
Treatments
The century we live in
is definitely no time to get shocked or judgmental, especially not about
surgical procedures. These days, going under the knife is almost as common as
booking a spa treatment; virtually everyone has embraced cosmetic surgery as a
leg up to building their confidence and feeling amazing in their own skin.
Unfortunately, not everyone was blessed with amazing genetics, and surgery is
mending that wound successfully. We’re in!
The most common types of facial rejuvenation treatments are facelifts, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion,
chemical peels that can be more or less invasive, botox injections, collagen
injections, fat injections, laser skin resurfacing, photo rejuvenation, spider
vein treatment (sclerotherapy) and thermage. All of these methods carry their
own set of benefits, risks, costs, and techniques but, if you feel like those
lines on your face and neck are your biggest enemy – get rid of them!
Good luck on your
journey to rejuvenation; we hope you end it looking even more gorgeous than you
already do.
