It is useful to wipe the face with ice cubes - it tones and refreshes the skin. It is recommended to use decoctions of chamomile, succession, linden to make ice.
Use day and night creams for hydration and nutrition. Separately, you need to buy eye cream, but for the neck you can use the same products as for the face. It is not necessary to buy an expensive cream, medium-priced products are also suitable.

- AHA and BHA acids;
- vitamins (tocopherol, retinol);

You can buy ready-made masks or make your own. After 50 years, masks with oils, honey, fresh vegetables and fruits are useful. Home remedies with starch, gelatin and home-made proteins are used for tightening.
Massage will help you stay young. Ideally, this should be done by an experienced beautician, but self-massage is not excluded.
An effective technique is plastic massage. It provides several types of shocks - kneading, stroking, vibration. The procedure begins with superficial effects, and then moves on to deep kneading.
Basic tricks:
- Stroking. Light stroking movements are performed in the direction of the lines of least stretching (massage lines).
- Kneading is superficial. It is performed with four fingers (except the thumb), a movement reminiscent of drawing a spiral with small curves is performed.
- Deep kneading. It is performed with all five fingers and the palm, the pressure should be more intense.
- tapping. It is done with fingertips along all massage lines.
- Vibration. It is performed with the lower part of the palm, the movement is directed from the middle of the sternum along the collarbone to the ear and further to the temple.
Before the session, the face is powdered with sterile talcum powder - this is necessary to prevent the fingers from slipping over the skin.
Another technique is a complex massage with tablespoons. For the procedure, you must prepare two bowls filled with hot and cold water, a few tablespoons, cosmetic oil.
The impact is made with the convex part of the spoon. The techniques of caressing, rubbing, light tapping are used. It is recommended to use silver spoons, but you can also take ordinary ones. Warm oil is applied to the skin before the session. The effect is performed alternately with a cold and a warm spoon, the direction of movement is strictly along the massage lines.
An effective way to rejuvenate the face without injections and surgery is gymnastics for the facial muscles. Learning how to do exercises at home is not difficult, the main thing is to teach regularly.
There are different sets of exercises. Here is one of them (do each movement 10 times):
- Take the air in your mouth and distill it in a circle from one cheek to the other, as if rolling a ball. First clockwise and then counterclockwise.
- Press the corners of the lips firmly with your fingers. Pull your lips forward, as if you want to kiss someone, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Press the outer corners of the eyes with your fingers (with your eyelids closed). Open your eyes as wide as possible, raising your eyebrows slightly. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lower your eyelids and relax your muscles.
- Place three fingers on the area between the eyebrows, press firmly. Try to join your eyebrows, frown, overcoming the resistance of your fingers.
- Open your mouth and try to pull your lips inward, as if hiding them behind your teeth. This movement raises the chin.
- Press the corners of your lips with your fingers and try to smile broadly.
- Pull the cheeks inward, then inflate them.
You may feel a burning sensation on your skin while exercising. This is normal because the muscles work and tighten.
The salons offer different ways of rejuvenation after the age of 55 without surgery. These are both traditional methods (massage, masks), and new methods (introduction of fillers, exposure to hardware).
The essence of the technique of rejuvenating the face and neck without surgery is to perform skin punctures and the introduction of synthetic threads that create a strengthening frame. The effect of the capture field lasts 3-4 years.
Thread lifting is recommended for relaxed cheeks, the formation of another beard, changes in facial contours, the appearance of wrinkles.
Polymeric materials, silicone, various acids, platinum, gold are used for the production of threads. The diameter does not even exceed the thickness of human hair. After the introduction it is not even felt and is not visible to others.
The essence of this procedure is exposing the skin to pulsating light. Radiation is a quantum flux that is brought in from a burst. The wavelength used is 400-1400 nm. The effect of the procedure does not appear immediately, but 6-8 weeks after the end of the course. During this period, they strengthen the collagen framework and skin structure, tighten the face, and fine wrinkles are smoothed.
Light energy heats tissues and destroys photosensitive substances. in that way:
- age spots disappear, complexion improves;
- turgor increases;
- the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is enhanced.
The technique is not suitable for removing all age-related changes. Other procedures should be used to remove deep wrinkles and improve facial contours.
Laser resurfacing is a procedure that can stop aging. The essence is the effect of lasers on the epidermis. The upper layer of cells evaporates, which stimulates regeneration processes.
Sanding is one of the variants of peeling. But the effect is performed on deep layers, compared to acid peels. Only a certified master can perform the procedure.
This is a hardware procedure based on infrared exposure to deep layers of the skin. It is performed using a device that emits energy of radio waves.
The flow of energy heats the deep layers of the skin to the temperature of compaction. As a result, the stretched collagen fibers are tightened, providing a tightening effect.
The method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, as well as other parts of the body. It is also used in the fight against cellulite.
Injection procedure, the essence of which is the introduction of special "cocktails" under the skin. Preparations include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids.
The introduction of mesococktails leads to the following changes:
- age spots disappear;
- improves complexion;
- dryness is eliminated, wrinkles are smoothed;
- the relief is leveled.
The drugs are given with very thin needles. Many microtraumas are created, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and improves blood microcirculation.
When planning rejuvenation without surgery, many women choose injection procedures. Different cosmetic injections are used in cosmetology:
- hyaluronic acid in combination with peptides;
- botulinum toxin;
- calcium collagen hydroxyapatite.
Selected drugs are given by injection. Very thin injection needles are used.
Rejuvenation of the face and neck is carried out by introducing special cocktails with oxygen and ozone. After the procedure, the face gets a fresh look, wrinkles and traces of acne disappear. The technique stimulates collagen production.
A home alternative to ozone therapy is the treatment of the face with hydrogen peroxide. However, external exposure is less effective than the injection technique.
Effective rejuvenation of the face after 60 years without surgery is possible with the technique of fractional laser exposure. In terms of efficiency, the procedure can be compared to the use of stem cells, but fractional laser rejuvenation is safer and more affordable.
The procedure must be performed in a cosmetology office that has the appropriate certificates. Non-specialist use of lasers can lead to burns and other harmful effects.
Fractional laser exposure is a unique method of facial rejuvenation without surgery, which has many advantages:
- lack of severe pain;
- noticeable effect even after one procedure;
- no negative side effects;
- short period of rehabilitation.
An important advantage is the affordable price (8-10 thousand rubles) with pronounced efficiency. The procedure solves several cosmetic problems at once - smoothes wrinkles, tightens, removes acne scars.
It is recommended to use fractional laser exposure in the presence of the following cosmetic defects:
- wrinkles, including deep;
- sagging skin, loss of clear oval face;
- scars, scars, spider veins;
- enlarged pores, acne;
- dark spots.
But there are also contraindications. They must be taken into account, because at the age of fifty, not everyone has iron health. Laser rejuvenation is prohibited under the following circumstances:
- large inflamed areas on the face;
- skin infections;
- psoriasis, eczema;
- malignant neoplasms of any localization;
- heart disease;
- epilepsy;
- immunodeficiency condition;
- neurological disorders;
- serious allergic diseases.
The patient should alert the cosmetologist to the presence of any chronic diseases. Based on that, the specialist decides which technique can be used.
The technique consists in the effect of the laser beam on the deep layers of the skin. Because the bundle is divided into many small bundles, the effect is only on certain microzones, and other tissues remain intact. Cells "burn out" in the affected areas, which stimulates the regeneration process, the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Women over the age of 50 are recommended to use a non-ablative method of exposure. Its difference is that deep layers of the dermis are involved in the process. This allows you to smooth out even deep wrinkles.
During the first week after exposure, the skin will be inflamed. It can be noticed:
- in the first 2-3 hours - light tingling;
- in the first 1-2 days - redness;
- on day 2-3 - peeling, which lasts 4-5 days.
During the month, the skin will be especially sensitive to sunlight, so it is necessary to apply a protective cream before going outside.
After the peeling stops, ie after about a week, the effect of the procedure will become noticeable. Wrinkles are less deep, the skin is taut, the face looks fresh. But in order to achieve a pronounced result, you have to go through a course of sessions. Their number is determined individually.
A professional cosmetologist will help you choose the right method of rejuvenation.
After 50 years, it will not be possible to achieve a good effect when used:
- light fruit peels;
- Cosmetic masks;
- BBL facial rejuvenation.
These treatments are good for young women aged 30+. After fifty, and even more than sixty years, techniques are needed that give a pronounced lifting effect and smooth wrinkles.
Reviews about facial rejuvenation techniques are different: there are many positive opinions, but there are also those who did not like the procedure.
First review
Over the years, wrinkles and pronounced age spots have appeared. Facial rejuvenation surgery is contraindicated for me, so I opted for non-surgical techniques. The beautician recommended fractional laser rejuvenation. I am satisfied with the procedure, I passed without severe pain and bruises. Already on the sixth day, the face looked decent, although it was more rosy than usual. I can say that the result is - the eyelids have tightened, wrinkles have become smaller, small pigment spots have disappeared, but large ones have only turned pale. I will repeat the process later.
Second review
I'm afraid to do plastic surgery, so I took very good care of my skin. But after 50 years, the face "collapsed", cheeks appeared, another beard, a network of wrinkles. I opted for fractional laser rejuvenation. What can I say, it was very painful for me, tears came from my eyes, I could barely stand this execution. I got up in the morning and scared myself in the mirror - my face like a beaten homeless woman. Somehow she survived 3 days, then it got better. But she could really "go out to people" only after 2 weeks. The wrinkles around my eyes disappeared, the oval became clearer, the nasolabial folds became less deep. The effect is not bad, but the second time I will not dare to suffer this pain even becausebeauty.
