Areas of the face that reveal your age and make you look older

Recovers the definition of the facial oval

The loss of muscle tone and the decrease in collagen and elastin cause the contours of the face to blur with age.

For sagging face …

Choose creams with firming active ingredients (peptic, silicon, calcium) and tensors (wheat and rice proteins).

If you are looking to redensify the skin …

The best principles that you can use to have more density in the skin of the face are soy and retinol.

Boost the effect of your creams

Also apply a firming serum, which will enhance the effect of your creams day and night.

What if you are not using the right cream?

Tones the muscles of the face

Do facial gymnastics. It's about making faces. For example, repeatedly pronounce the letters X and O so exaggeratedly that it tenses your muscles.

Take care of your face with a good diet

Incorporate foods that provide calcium (skim milk, spinach, hazelnuts) and vitamin D (salmon, enriched cereals, soy drink). It will improve the quality of your skin.

The eye contour

The sun, tobacco and repetitive gestures of the periorbital muscles thin the skin around the eyes. If to these factors we add genetic inheritance, fatigue and the decrease in estrogen that occurs after 40 years, the result is darker, flabby and dry skin, which provides a tired and aged appearance.

Fight dark circles

You need creams with depigmenting active ingredients and pearl extract, gold or reflective pigments, which help diffuse light in all directions and give your eyes a special shine.

The dreaded crow's feet

If you want to hide the finest wrinkles, use peptide and hyaluronic acid creams, better if it is encapsulated. You will see how little by little they are smoothed out.

If the eye wrinkles are deep

When they are deep and there is flaccidity, more complete creams based on nourishing ingredients (vegetable oils) are needed, which stimulate the formation of new collagen (retinol) and tighten the skin (wheat and rice proteins).

Protect your eyes with sunglasses

Sunglasses protect against UV radiation and therefore free radicals that contribute to skin aging.

Oral cosmetics

Free radicals (beta-carotene, green tea) and flavonoids (grape seed, blueberry, butcher's broom) help to strengthen the wall of the capillaries and stop the formation of small wrinkles and bags under the eyes.

Attentive to the perioral grooves

From the age of 40, the vertical wrinkles on the upper lip, the dreaded barcode, begin to be visible. The nasolabial folds are accentuated, hardening the expression, and the corners of the mouth relax and fall, giving a sad appearance to the face.

To smooth and soften the lips

Use a gentle scrub with microgranules (you can also scrub them with a toothbrush) and then apply the lip balm.

Rejuvenates the perioral area

Regularly apply anti-aging serums and products enriched with collagen and hyaluronic acid spheres, as they hydrate the skin and help fill in wrinkles.

Take care of your lips

If you do, choose lipsticks with juicy textures. Try never to moisten your lips with your tongue because saliva dehydrates them.

Keep neck and cleavage smooth

They are the great forgotten in daily beauty care. And yet, the neck and décolleté age quickly because the skin that covers them is very thin and is more exposed to the external environment than the rest of the body.

From 40-45 years

Use a specific product for that area on a regular basis. Cosmetics for the neck and décolleté include lipolytics and drains (caffeine, green tea) that prevent the accumulation of fat under the chin. They also provide active ingredients that stimulate cell renewal to rejuvenate (retinol, vitamin C).

Basic cleavage care

Apply the same products that you use for your face (cleanser, toner, scrub, moisturizer) both on the neck and on the décolleté.

When you sunbathe

Always apply a high SPF sunscreen and cover the area when the radiation is intense. The neckline is not used to sun exposure. This will prevent deep spots and wrinkles from appearing.

Choose the sunscreen that best suits your skin type.

At bedtime…

It is better to sleep with a low pillow so that the horizontal neck wrinkles are not marked and, if you have a large chest, it is better not to sleep on your side to avoid vertical wrinkles in the neckline.

Avoid drastic weight loss

Forget low-protein diets or lose a lot of weight all at once. The skin does not retract completely and sags.

Maintain good posture

Do not lower or twist your neck for a long time when talking on the phone or when reading. Remember to stay straight as long as you can.

The years inevitably pass for everyone. Suddenly, one day you wake up and you no longer have that soft and smooth skin that accompanied you when you were 20 or 25 years old. You stand in your 40s with slight crow's feet or a neckline that is no longer what it was, or a slight flaccidity begins to appear on your face. Yes, these are all signs of the onset of aging.

The good news is that you can do something about it, and it doesn't necessarily have to undergo surgery. It is enough to apply some tricks on a daily and constant basis in your life to prevent this aging of the face, which usually begins after 40-45 years.

Check out our gallery to find out the preventive measures you can adopt right now to mitigate the passage of time and keep your face as young as possible. Of course, genetics will be essential, but the care and pampering that you give to your skin will be a very important part and an extremely effective help for your body.

The areas to take care of

The facial oval. With age, the contours of the face are blurred and a certain sagging begins to be seen in the skin of the face. The loss of muscle tone and the decrease in collagen and elastin are the main causes.
The eye contour. The most important thing here is to combat dark circles and crow's feet. Fatigue, external factors and a decrease in estrogen are elements that promote flaccidity and that will give a tired appearance to the face over the years.
The perioral grooves. Especially from the age of 40, vertical wrinkles on the upper lip usually appear. The corners of the mouth also tend to relax and sag, making the face look sad.
Neck and cleavage. Without a doubt they are the great forgotten. But keep in mind that these areas age faster because the skin that covers them is very thin.
