My beauty is now

One Coco Chanel wrote in his diary: "Every woman that age that it deserves." Madame was not only right, but could afford to talk freely on such a delicate subject for many women. In its 57 years, she conquered the heart of a man 15 years younger, who later became her last and fatal passion …

As a famous woman of fashion, an object for emulation fans of French chic Coco Chanel wrote in his diary: "Every woman that age that it deserves." Needless to say, Madame, not only was right, but could afford to talk freely on such a delicate subject for many women. In its 57 years, she conquered the heart of a man 15 years younger, who later became her last and fatal passion.

Another fair and long-rehearsed our phrase that a woman looks at that age, to which she herself feels. So, what can be chic and twenty, and thirty and forty, and in 70 …

So why did so many women who crossed the threshold of middle age, this fear that unless they bear children, helped her husband to make a career, take care of domestic comfort, they may have missed so many opportunities? And it is precisely now, when children grew up, and the house equipped, so want to make up for lost time. And right now there is an urgent need to feel 10 years younger, to achieve new goals, to live in his pleasure. But there is the old confidence, and a mirror to us mercilessly, and never hides any cobweb of wrinkles around the eyes or the wrinkles on his forehead, or has lost elasticity of the skin.

But in order to be attractive to men, does not necessarily have regular features, smooth skin, huge blue eyes, blonde hair and puffy lips. As recent studies conducted in Britain, 68% of average men prefer girlfriend-model pretty and charming woman with a normal appearance. Think whole 68%!

But we digress from the topic "Age and how to deal with it." Of course, time does not stop, but we can slow the aging of the skin. And in every woman's life there comes a time when it was reviewing its relationship to the means to care for the face and realizes that lightheadedness and amateurish attitude in this matter are becoming increasingly irrelevant.

What happens when the skin grows up? "What is the reason for the appearance of wrinkles and aging skin? To qualify to describe this process should be a little deeper into the structure of the skin. It is known, consists of three main layers:

top – epidermis

It is closely connected to the dermis and is the most active of the three layers, because it consists of cells with different functions and tasks. In the lowest part of it is the germinal layer, where there are young cells. Within 28 days, they move to the surface of the skin, and, eventually, form a visible surface layer of the skin. Dead cells fall off in the process of daily friction when washing, wiping and constantly being replaced from below by others. This process is called regeneration. For 27 – 28 days entire epidermis is updated.

Medium – dermis

Its thickness of 2 mm, and the composition – the connective tissue fibers. It is this layer of skin is responsible for its firmness and elasticity, determines its appearance.A significant part in the taking collagen fibers, which in young skin can accumulate moisture. C years and is under the influence of harmful environmental influences (primarily from an excess of ultraviolet radiation) kologenovye fibers become more brittle. Saturated layer of connective tissue "dry" the skin wrinkles. It dermis – "homeland" of deep wrinkles.

the lowest – gipodermis

There are nerve endings in the skin. This layer is not available for the effects of cosmetics.

Throughout our life in the body are certain chemical changes that affect the function and appearance of the skin. The first lines are always mimic the origin and arise because some of the muscles in the face of continually stretch the elastic fibers of connective tissue.

Among the reasons for the appearance of deep wrinkles include the following:

First – this is a natural biological process, which begins in about 25 years of age. The skin gradually loses some of its natural energy, slows down the process of collagen and elastin. And then over the years, reducing the amount of collagen fibers in the connective tissue responsible for skin elasticity. The rest is collagen fibers are not able to save as much moisture as before. That is why skin becomes dry and looks older.

The second cause of aging is to reduce the number of connecting elements (papillae) between the lower and upper layers of the epidermis, resulting in reduced flow of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells.

The third cause of aging – it is a decreasing ability of skin to regenerate. Young cells produced less, and natural protective barrier of the skin becomes thinner and not so securely restrains the negative impact of the environment and solar radiation. As a result, the skin becomes more vulnerable.

The fourth cause of aging lies in the impact of external factors, such as constant stress, aggressive irradiation of ultraviolet rays, adverse environmental conditions – all this leads to earlier appearance of wrinkles.

The connecting elements (papillae)

Papillae represent conical skin structure, located between the epidermis and dermis. They contain the elastic fibers of collagen and elastin, responsible for firmness and elasticity of the skin. Also papillaes contain many capillaries that feed the skin cells of nutrients responsible for the renewal of skin cells.

However, on average, after 25 years, the number and size of the connecting elements (papillae) decreases, resulting in the skin becomes less elastic, there are the wrinkles and other signs of aging skin.

Reducing the number of connecting elements

On average, we lose a year of 1-2% pappilae, where at an early age are more active loss of papillae, than in more mature.
