The previous issue of our Beauty Calendar contained a lot of useful information on self-care in adulthood. If you missed it, be sure to check it out.
Well, let's continue to dive into the subtleties.
Face masks after 45 years
Maintaining youthful and beautiful skin after 45 years is not so difficult. And it is not necessary to visit elite salons and shell out large sums of money for expensive procedures and cosmetics. There are other methods that successfully cope with age-related changes in facial skin during this period. For example, face masks for wrinkles after 45 years perfectly solve various skin problems.
Homemade anti-wrinkle masks after 45 are important for aging skin; they will provide hydration and nutrition, and also activate collagen synthesis. Mature skin really needs moisturizing and nourishing masks.
A tightening rice mask is popular. For its preparation, only brown varieties are taken. Rice is ground into flour, honey and yogurt are added. The dough-like mass is applied to all parts of the face. Keep for 30 minutes. A yolk mask is also considered an effective tightening agent.
After 45 years, not only wrinkles appear, the skin becomes thin and dry. You will need masks for dry skin. For example, a mask with banana perfectly nourishes the skin and saturates it with useful components. Using a blender, beat 1 banana along with 30 ml of cream. The product should be kept for half an hour, then rinsed with warm water.
How to maintain the rejuvenation effect longer
Home skin care after 40-45 will help preserve the results of medical cosmetological rejuvenation. Natural face masks are effective. You can easily prepare them from products that you can find in the kitchen. For example, from fruits and honey or from proteins, kefir.
Regular facial massage will help maintain tone. It is carried out after preliminary cleansing and steaming. Starting from the neck, with smooth movements you stroke and rub the skin, periodically lightly tapping it with your fingers. It is important to perform movements gently, carefully and along massage lines. The duration of the session is from 5 to 15 minutes. It is better to do exercises before bed.
Cosmetics also help in skin care. Use high-quality creams, tonics, lotions, scrubs, peelings. Don’t skimp on decorative cosmetics and be sure to remove your makeup at night, giving your face a rest.
You can look young after 40 if you take care of the skin on your face, neck and décolleté. Regular home care and medical anti-aging procedures are the key to women's beauty and health. And experienced ANACOSMA specialists will select suitable methods for you.
What methods of rejuvenation exist after 45 years?
Our own style and taste, clothes, haircut, makeup - all this has an impact on how we look and helps to lose extra years.
To correct facial imperfections, you can get an appropriate haircut that will hide them and rejuvenate your face. For example, get a haircut after 45 years, which makes a round face look younger.
The hairdresser will help you choose a hairstyle for a certain type of face, which will allow the woman to look younger. For example, to hide wrinkles on the forehead, haircuts with bangs are chosen. Hiding such an age-related defect, the haircut helps to emphasize the eyes and adds expressiveness to them.
Correctly chosen hair color, highlighting, and coloring also help you look younger than your age. Having found out your body type, you can choose the appropriate clothes that will make you look slim and youthful. With the help of makeup you can achieve a rejuvenating effect and a unique look.
Bullhorn: raise the upper lip
Posted by Plastic Surgeon (@drmelnikov) July 3, 2021 at 8:14 PDT
Cosmetologists assure: when the gap between the nose and upper lip is short (no more than 12 mm), the face looks younger and sexier, even with thin lips. Over the years, the skin loses elasticity and this distance increases. The face visually appears older even with even and smooth skin. Sometimes one operation to reduce this distance is enough to rejuvenate for five to seven years.
The technique involves excision of a strip of skin directly under the base of the nose. The wavy lines, tapering at the edges, resemble the horns of a bull - hence the name of the procedure. After connecting the skin edges with sutures, the upper lip is significantly raised, bringing the owner closer to the gold standards of beauty.
Creams for women after 45 years
After the age of 45, the skin begins to actively dehydrate and can no longer synthesize proteins for elasticity and firmness. What creams should you use after 45 years? High-quality creams for women 45+ should contain strong, active substances that counteract the signs of aging - these are proteins, peptides, retinoids.
An effective face cream 45+ should solve the following problems:
- deeply nourish and moisturize the skin;
- increase skin elasticity and tone;
- smooth out wrinkles and prevent the appearance of new wrinkles;
- perform a protective function against aggressive factors;
- improve skin structure and tighten the oval of the face;
- fight pigmentation.
Some of the best creams that effectively resist age-related changes include: Beauty Skin Cream; Vichy Liftactiv Retinol HA; Dior Concentre Multi-Perfection Capture Total; Clarins Multi-Regenerante Jour; Black Pearl.
For hair
airtouch coloring
Airtouch is a trendy technology for hair coloring using a hairdryer. Thanks to a special technique, it is possible to create the smoothest, almost imperceptible color transitions. To achieve this effect, the master divides the hair into thin strands and blows each one separately with a hairdryer, so that no more than 30-50% of the hair remains of the original volume of the strand, and then applies dye to them. As a result, it turns out to dye not the entire strand, but as if through a hair. Coloring using this technique looks very impressive. As for the side effects, they are the same as after regular coloring.
Botox and collagen
For a long time, polyamide lamination was considered the main trend in salon hair care. Now in the beauty industry the emphasis has shifted to deep hair restoration. For these purposes, salons use Botox and collagen.
Let's be clear: Botox used for hair care has nothing in common with Botox used to eliminate wrinkles. The procedure received its name solely due to the rejuvenation effect. Botox hair products usually contain natural oils, keratin and hyaluronic acid.
Hair collagenation, like Botox, is used to restore hair. The main active substance of such beauty products is collagen protein of animal or plant origin.
After these procedures, the scales on the hair are closed, due to which the hair acquires a mirror shine. Unlike lamination, Botox and collagen create a cumulative effect [8].
Gymnastics for the face after 45 years
Facial gymnastics, also known as massage, plays an important role in skin rejuvenation after 45 years. This procedure can be carried out in the morning and evening. In the evening, the massage should be relaxing, and in the morning, gymnastics should tone the skin. There are several techniques: Japanese facial massage after 45, pinch and plastic.
The technique of lymphatic drainage facial massage is effective after 45 years. Pressing and vibration result in fixation. Gymnastics for the face after 45 is carried out with the simplest movements:
- First, massage the scalp;
- From the center of the forehead, movements are made to the temples, this exercise is performed with the index and middle fingers, you need to do it 7 times;
- Use your fingertips to apply light pressure under the eyebrows and in the area of the lower eyelids;
- then you need to pat around the eyes;
- using the index and middle fingers, pull-up movements are performed from the center of the chin to the ears. The exercise is done 7 times;
- fingers should be placed at the corners of the mouth, lifting movements are performed in the direction of the temples. The exercise is done 7 times;
- the same is done from the nose to the ears;
- the back of the hand is patted on the skin of the neck, thus activating the processes here;
- Pinch massage works well on deep folds.
Cosmeceuticals (home and professional care)
A modern cosmetologist thinks broadly, refers to colleagues (gynecologist-endocrinologist, nutritionist), because he understands that health and beautiful skin are unlikely without working on rejuvenation of the whole body. The big advantage of modern techniques is that the doctor not only fills wrinkles, but has the opportunity to work on all fronts.
Genetic tests reveal a predisposition to certain processes in the body, this also applies to the skin, so preventive treatment programs can be drawn up.
Preparations, cosmeceuticals (home and professional care) contain substances whose activity has been proven in terms of cellular rejuvenation. This allows you not only to improve the quality of the skin externally, but also to launch restoration processes in cells, stimulate the formation of collagen fibers necessary for the skin, for example, reduce the risk of the appearance of age spots and spider veins.
Some of the most popular procedures are injection and hardware techniques.
- Injections can reduce skin sagging, improve its color and tone - these are mesotherapy techniques.
- Botulinum toxin relaxes the muscles that give negative facial expressions and form wrinkles - between the eyebrows, on the forehead, wrinkles of grief from the corners of the lips, cords on the neck.
- Fillers replenish lost volume in the cheek-zygomatic, temporal, and chin areas, restore the contour and shape of the lips, and fill deep folds.
- Thread lifting returns sagging tissues to their place - cheeks, eyebrows, “double” chin.
The magic of these techniques is that the procedure takes very little time, and the effect is visible immediately or increases over the course of a week. When you need to get your face in order quickly, beauty injections are the ideal choice.
Face oils after 45 years
Oils nourish the skin with vitamins and nutrients, protect and heal. They can be added to creams, masks, baths, compresses. For example, a cream with the addition of peach or apricot oil, made at home, significantly increases skin elasticity.
The best facial oils after 45 years are:
- almond;
- olive;
- jojoba;
- peach;
- apricot;
- sea buckthorn;
- argans;
- coconut;
- wheat germ oil;
- flax oil
Olive oil is indispensable for aging skin; it is used to cleanse and moisturize. Dry skin really needs almond oil. Soothes, nourishes and moisturizes. Peach oil is beneficial for sensitive and aging skin and is added to various products. Apricot oil can be used instead of face cream and is suitable for all skin types. Jojoba oil is especially beneficial for skin with signs of aging, nourishing and moisturizing for a long period.
Argan oil is used for dry skin after 45 years. Used in pure form and with creams. Coconut oil perfectly fights wrinkles and protects the skin. Sea buckthorn is unique in its composition. Rich in vitamins and fatty acids, it is ideal for aging facial skin after 45 years.
Wheat germ oil, due to its density, is not used in its pure form; it contains many active components. Flax oil can be added to homemade masks and creams. Contains a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, which are so necessary for the skin after 45 years.
For eyelashes
Eyelash growth products
Thick and long eyelashes have always been in fashion, and women used different methods to achieve this goal. For example, in recent years, eyelash extensions have been very popular: from unnaturally lush, reminiscent of a doll's, to more laconic ones, which at first glance cannot be distinguished from natural ones. But despite its enormous popularity, this procedure is not the most beneficial for the eyes. The products used for extensions harm the follicles and can cause ophthalmological diseases associated with inflammation of the eyelids. In addition, young ladies with eyelash extensions should usually refuse some types of facial massage and masks.
Now there is an alternative to extensions - salons offer beauty treatments using products that accelerate eyelash growth. The composition of such products may differ, as well as the result of their use. For example, products based on hormone-like substances prostaglandins and their synthetic analogues can double the size of eyelashes. But at the same time, this procedure does not exclude side effects. Most often – in the form of inflammation of the eyelids [9].
A safer analogue is peptide-based products. They give less modest results, but the risk of side effects is minimal. In addition, such agents, unlike prostaglandins, are suitable for long-term use. But this only applies to beauty products containing exclusively peptides. Some manufacturers combine both components in one product, while others do not separate the entire chemical composition of the drug. These products may be dangerous for people with allergies, sensitive skin or eye conditions.
Keratin lifting
This relatively new beauty salon service has already become a real beauty trend. Keratin lifting is a procedure that allows you to fix the desired curl of your eyelashes. Reed glue is used for fixation, after which the eyelashes are enriched with vitamins, proteins and pigment. After lifting, eyelashes look more voluminous. The effect lasts for 2 months. If the procedure is performed by an experienced specialist, then there should be no side effects. The only note: lifting cannot be done if the mucous membrane of the eye is inflamed, or if you are allergic to the components used.
Anti-aging procedures after 45 years
At this age, masks and creams can no longer cope with the task of maintaining youth alone. Rejuvenating procedures come to the aid of a woman after 45 years. Salon activities aimed at rejuvenation are divided into hardware, superficial and injection. What kind of cosmetic procedures are indicated after 45 years? The most popular of them are:
Peeling with fruit acids for facial skin after 45 years. During the procedure, with the help of cleansers, dead cells are carefully removed, the synthesis of collagen and elastin is activated, unevenness and wrinkles are smoothed out, age spots are removed, and a healthy complexion returns.
Mesotherapy is the subcutaneous administration of medicinal substances and vitamins. The procedure increases blood circulation, improves metabolic processes in tissues, increases elasticity, and saturates with moisture.
Biorevitalization is a popular rejuvenating procedure after 45 years. The specialist performs injections of hyaluronic acid and other active ingredients. The preparations are gentle and nourishing. This way, skin self-rejuvenation is activated. Elasticity, microcirculation, metabolic processes increase, wrinkles are smoothed out, and the skin's hydro reserves are restored.
Bio-reinforcement - the procedure helps to correct facial contours. This is achieved using gel threads based on anti-aging drugs. The drugs are injected under the skin according to the scheme, this ensures a safe and uniform distribution of the drugs. The skin becomes tightened, facial contours become clear, wrinkles are smoothed out, and collagen synthesis is stimulated. The effect lasts up to five years.
Laser lifting is a salon procedure that corrects a double chin, rejuvenates sagging skin, and removes deep wrinkles.

Ultrasonic facelift has long been competing with plastic surgery. The most famous rejuvenation technology is Ulthera hardware lifting. During this procedure, an ultrasonic wave is applied to the skin and muscles (its spectrum is determined by the doctor depending on the condition of the face). At the same time, the muscles heat up and contract.
This stimulates collagen synthesis, helps smooth out wrinkles, and, in case of gravitational ptosis, helps get rid of jowls. As a result, a strong facial frame is created, which prevents ptosis from progressing.
