Как ухаживать за кожей в возрасте?

Но суть такая : моя маман (56 годочков от роду)обнаружила меня тут с очищающей маской на лице, и тут же попыталась весь тюбик упереть мотивируя тем, что "у меня кожа совсем совсем, как пергамент сухая стала!!!"


Очищающую маску я с горем пополам отстояла, но мне это удалось только при условии, что я ей лично и непременно куплю что-то, чем она сможет лицо мазать. Сама она отродясь ничем кроме спирта (для протирки прыщей) не пользовалась. Кожа действительно очень сухая, пергаментная, никаких ни точек, на прыщиков, ни шелушений нет. Т.е. там, как я понимаю, надо только питать? Или еще и увлажнять?

Кто разбирается, плиз, подскажите примерно как, чем, в каком порядке мазать. Есть отличия от ухода за молодой кожей? ну т.е. очищать все равно надо? если посоветуете что-то конктрено - буду очень благодарна, но сразу уточнение - 300р. за тюбик потолок, т.е. виши точно покупать не буду (жаба я мерзкая... на маме родной экономлю....)

Dear Paula,<br>
What do you suggest for those of us over 50, fighting off wrinkles and sagging skin, who cannot afford to have injections, surgery, laser, etc., etc. What products do you recommend that we use to enhance what we have to live with for the rest of our lives? What skin care do we use for aging skin? We all have plenty of folds and creases. I haven't found a product that makes them look all that different. Help!

Dear Pam,<br>
I feel your pain. While I can definitely make recommendations for products that can improve the appearance of skin and make things smoother and softer, there are no products that can alter deep wrinkles, sagging skin, cross-wrinkling, or depressions that occur around the mouth. If there were a cream that was "better than Botox" or "better than plastic surgery", there would be no need for plastic surgeons or medically based corrective procedures. Botox would be a thing of the past, yet it is currently the number one procedure for altering wrinkles. There just isn't a cosmetic that can address all the dynamic changes taking place in skin from years of unprotected sun exposure and aging. Believe me, I wish I could tell you something different. No one has tried harder to save consumers money on skin-care and makeup products than I. Despite what the ads in fashion magazines and television flaunt, skin-care products just don't work that way.<br>
Bottom line: for sun damaged, older skin, cosmetic corrective procedures offer the most impressive results. Having said that, the basics for the best skin care money can buy are:

1. Use a gentle cleanser (reducing skin irritation is a big deal).

2. Stay out of the sun and use a well-formulated sunscreen to prevent further damage (there is no such thing as a healthy tan, any change in skin color is just your skin yelling at you to stop hurting it!).

3. The active ingredients in the topical, prescription medications Retin-A, Renova, and Tazorac can help generate healthy skin cell growth. Ask your physician if this is appropriate for you.

4. Exfoliating skin is a good thing. Sun-damaged skin creates layers of unhealthy cell growth on the surface of skin, and exfoliating away that unhealthy layer makes a world of difference. There are many ways to achieve this. A salon or physician can perform chemical peels and microdermabrasion, but that's relatively pricey and, depending on the procedure, may need to be redone periodically. You can also achieve some of the same benefit that peels and microdermabrasion provide by using products that contain effective concentrations of alpha hydroxy acids, polyhydroxy acids, or beta hydroxy acid at appropriate pH levels.

5. The more antioxidants you eat or apply to the skin, the better off you will be. Eating broccoli, carrots, blueberries, and grapes, or drinking green tea, cranberry juice, or pomegranate juice are just a few of the options to help generate protection from the inside out. Dietary supplements of alpha lipoic acid, a blend of vitamin Es (tocopherols), vitamin C, and on and on are also critical to health and skin. Topically, the same is true for skin. Whether they are called serums, moisturizers, sunscreens, night creams, treatments, or whatever, if you are putting a product on your skin it should be loaded with antioxidants. Antioxidants are considered state-of-the-art ingredients in skin-care product formulations.

6. Add omega-3 oils to your diet; for example, eating wild-caught (not farm-raised) salmon three days a week is a great start.
