Of course, the process of skin aging cannot be completely stopped, but it is possible to take the necessary measures to slow down its withering. Below you will find out why the skin ages and how to delay this process.<\/p>\n<h2>The main causes of facial skin aging<\/h2>\n<p>What is skin aging and what are its causes? Age-related changes in the skin (loss of elasticity, wrinkles, age spots, yellow tint, dullness, neoplasms, and others) first of all become noticeable in open areas of the body (face, neck, d\u00e9collet\u00e9, hands). This is because these areas are regularly exposed to the sun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The following are the main reasons why the skin of the face and other parts of the body ages:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The capillary network, becoming less developed, causes atrophy of the epidermis &#8211; a decrease in its thickness.<\/li>\n<li>The processes of exfoliation of corneocytes from the skin surface are disturbed, lipid synthesis decreases, transepidermal water loss occurs, as a result of which the skin becomes dry.<\/li>\n<li>A decrease in the number of melanocytes leads to the formation of age spots.<\/li>\n<li>Changes in the capillary network of the dermis provoke a violation of the drainage function, which leads to the development of congestion in the skin and swelling.<\/li>\n<li>Sclerosis of the vessels of the dermis is the cause of skin aging associated with the development of tissue hypoxia, accumulation of free radicals and aggravation of atrophy processes.<\/li>\n<li>The process of synthesis of collagen, which is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin, decreases, a change occurs in its very structure, and the ratio of its different types also changes (there are more than 20 genetic varieties of collagen in total).<\/li>\n<li>Another reason for aging of the skin of the face and other parts of the body is age-related changes in the structure of elastin fibers, which lead to the development of lethargy, sagging of the skin and, as a result, the formation of wrinkles. By the age of 70, most elastin fibers are completely destroyed.<\/li>\n<li>There are changes in the amount and ratio of skin proteoglycans, in particular, the amount of the well-known proteoglycan &#8211; hyaluronic acid, decreases, which leads to loss of skin moisture, a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin.<\/li>\n<li>The number of sweat glands decreases and their function decreases. The number of sebaceous glands increases, but their secretory function decreases.<\/li>\n<li>The number of hairs and their diameter are reduced. The functional activity of the fibroblasts of the hair follicle decreases, which leads to the appearance of gray hair.<\/li>\n<li>The so-called photoaging occurs (wrinkles, dryness, yellowing, spider veins, xerosis, etc.), which is a consequence of the cumulative effect of ultraviolet radiation, that is, the accumulation of damage received throughout life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allforwomen.com.de\/en\/list-of-cosmetics-for-makeup-what-cosmetics-do-you-need-on-an-ongoing-basis\/\" title=\"Smoking\">Smoking<\/a> is a powerful factor that accelerates skin aging. In cosmetology, there is even a special term &#8211; &quot;smoker's skin.&quot; It is characterized by a grayish, sometimes yellowish color with an ashy tint, flabbiness, early wrinkles, and sensitivity to the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.<\/p>\n<h2>anti aging food<\/h2>\n<p>What can be done to prevent skin aging and maintain its elasticity for as long as possible?<\/p>\n<p>To date, the benefits of the so-called Mediterranean diet, which is based on vegetables, olive oil and fish, have been scientifically proven to prevent skin aging.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Olive oil<\/strong> is a source of valuable unsaturated fatty acids and a solvent for a number of micronutrients (vitamin E, lycopene, isoflavones) that vegetables are rich in. That is, in order for the beneficial nutrients from vegetables to be absorbed in the body, they need to be consumed with olive oil.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most effective foods against skin aging can be considered oily fish rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.<\/p>\n<h2>How to slow down skin aging: biogenic cleansing<\/h2>\n<p>The condition and appearance of the skin depend not only on heredity, exposure to aggressive environmental factors, smoking and lifestyle, but also on the degree of slagging of the body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Products that prevent the formation of wrinkles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>vegetables and greens;<\/li>\n<li>fruits and berries;<\/li>\n<li>dairy products;<\/li>\n<li>fatty fish (trout, mackerel, salmon, sardines, anchovies);<\/li>\n<li>linseed oil, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Products that promote the formation of wrinkles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>whole milk products;<\/li>\n<li>red fried meat;<\/li>\n<li>potato;<\/li>\n<li>strong alcoholic drinks;<\/li>\n<li>confectionery fats, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To prevent facial skin aging and cleanse the whole body at home, you can apply the so-called biogenic cleansing. How to slow down skin aging with this method? The essence of biogenic cleansing is to consume only fresh raw or minimally heat-treated foods for 10 days with a gradual transition to a healthy diet.<\/p>\n<p>The first few days may feel weak, as well as deterioration of the skin, especially in the presence of acne. However, this stage can be characterized as &quot;improvement through deterioration&quot;. It's just that the body is cleansed by removing toxins, including through the skin. Be patient and just get through these days.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hypoxia of tissues, a decrease in the process of collagen synthesis, sclerosis of the vessels of the dermis &#8211; all this negatively affects the condition of the skin.
