Jowls on the face - what are they: how to remove, get rid of and tighten the oval

A group of German psychologists conducted a large-scale study, as a result of which portraits were created on a computer, incorporating features that appeal to the largest number of people. Using the program, the volume of the cheekbones was increased, a new contour was given to the middle third of the face and the cheeks were slightly rounded. It turned out that childish proportions make women more attractive. Most of the participants in the experiment considered the most beautiful those ladies whose portraits were changed according to a child's scheme. Why is a thin face, lacking youthful volume, perceived as less attractive?

Connective tissue plays the role of the framework of almost any organ. It consists of cells capable of reproduction, as well as fibrous structures: hyaline, elastic and collagen. The mentioned fibers form a kind of spatial structural networks that perform the function of ensuring fullness and turgor of tissues. Such networks manage to successfully implement this function due to the presence of a sufficient amount of protein (elastin and collagen), hyaluronic acid, which retains water molecules in the tissues, and hormones.

Definition

A decrease in turgor leads to the fact that the skin begins to sag in the lower part of the cheeks, forming an unnatural, irregular oval of the face. It does not look aesthetically pleasing at all, indicating not only age-related changes, but also many bad habits, as well as a lack of timely and effective care.

What causes jowls

There are many reasons for the occurrence of such defects, among them: Genetics. If relatives had a similar problem, preventive measures should be started as early as possible.

1. Lack of sufficient rest. Lack of sleep affects the condition of the skin. Also, cosmetologists do not recommend sleeping on your stomach.
2. Bad habits do not adversely affect the entire human body.
3. Dramatic weight loss. Reducing the subcutaneous fat layer contributes to sagging skin - the stretched dermis does not have time to recover due to a strong jump in weight.
4. Stress. Try to maintain a calm state, use sedatives and contact specialists in moments of particular psycho-emotional stress.
5. Age factor. Some people may experience symptoms as early as 25-30 years of age, while others may experience symptoms by 50-60 years of age.
6. Overweight.
7. UV radiation. Photoaging is the main cause of skin defects. The process reduces elasticity and leads to dehydration.
8. Clenching of the jaws. When a person clenches his teeth too hard, the muscle becomes overstrained, which stretches over time and cannot support the weight of the skin.
9. Incorrect posture. It leads to the disruption of the natural geometry of the torso, which affects the entire body.
10. Lack of collagen and elastin. It can be a consequence of hormonal diseases, as well as age-related, genetic and other reasons.
11. Anatomical features. A small chin itself is the root cause of the formation of jowls at a young age. Therefore, for people concerned about this problem, surgical intervention with the installation of special supporting implants is recommended.

These are only the main factors, not counting the negative impact of the environment, allergic reactions to cosmetics and chemicals and other processes that can disrupt the natural mechanisms of the biological functioning of skin cells, leading to loss of turgor.

Reasons for the appearance of rounded cheeks

Excess weight. Excess body fat usually affects your appearance. The shape of the face becomes more rounded.

A certain structure of the skull makes the cheeks round.

Chronic fatigue, lack of sleep, health problems - in particular, with the endocrine system and kidneys - can cause swelling. Fluid may stagnate in the cheek area.

A face can also take on a puffy appearance due to excess salt, sodium and toxic substances in the body.

Poor posture is also the cause of chubby cheeks. In this case, subcutaneous fat is distributed unevenly, due to which the contours of the face are distorted - an unnecessary second chin appears, the face acquires rounded features;

Lack of protein in food consumed. This element is a building material for muscle tissue. Thanks to the latter, subcutaneous fat on the face is transformed into muscles, which allows it to acquire beautiful contours.

With age, those with chubby cheeks may encounter such an unpleasant problem as the appearance of jowls. They occur due to the loss of elastin and collagen in the skin. Often, at the same time, another problem arises - the appearance of nasolabial wrinkles. Together, all these changes make the appearance older and less attractive.

Another trouble that is often associated with chubby cheeks is the presence of redness on them. There can be many reasons for this phenomenon, but the result is usually a vascular network, which gives the skin a reddish tint.

Correcting the situation with the help of cosmetologists

The most effective conservative methods for eliminating this defect is a visit to a cosmetology salon. The doctor will be able to determine the root cause, the degree of neglect of the problem, and also choose a set of procedures that will help in the fight for the beauty and youth of the skin. Among the existing tools:

• hardware cosmetology;
• injections;
• non-injection drugs;
• cosmetical tools;
• massage and physiotherapy.

With the combination of all these approaches, it is possible to achieve not only a visual reduction of the defect, but also completely remove it or significantly slow down the sagging. All methods should be aimed at improving turgor, stimulating one’s own synthesis of collagen and elastin in tissues, reducing the number of damaged, dysfunctional cells, and their renewal.

We use homemade masks

You need to fight jowls not only in the cosmetologist’s office, but also at home. A good tightening effect can be achieved using masks based on white clay and honey. For the first option you will need 2 tablespoons of dry white clay, 1 tablespoon of grape juice and 1 teaspoon of wheat germ. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and apply them to your face. After 20 minutes, rinse with warm water.

For a honey mask, beat the egg white, add a tablespoon of oatmeal and a tablespoon of honey heated in a water bath. Apply the mixture to your face for 15-20 minutes, then rinse gently with warm water. Do not forget that regularity of procedures is important in home care. Alternate masks 1-2 times a week.

How to remove jowls on your face at home

It is quite difficult to cope with such a problem at home. All methods can be classified as preventative rather than producing tangible results.

The most effective method can only be if a person is overweight. With proper weight loss, fat will disappear from the cheeks, and with additional care, the skin will quickly tighten and create a harmonious oval of the face. However, you should not allow sudden weight loss, which will only worsen the problem. The best option is to lose 4-5 kg ​​per month under the strict supervision of a nutritionist and endocrinologist.

If the problem has not yet gone far and is just beginning to appear, use massages, masks, and exercises as a correction or prevention.

“Pumping up” the muscles

Gymnastics for the face, like exercises for the body, should be done daily, only in this case the effect is guaranteed. If regularity is not your thing, look for another way to deal with jowls. There are a lot of exercises to work out the vulnerable zone, for example, you can alternately pronounce the drawn-out sounds “U” and “I”, do at least 10 repetitions. Another way is to try to reach the chin with the tip of your tongue. The minimum number of repetitions is 10 times.

Is it possible to fight jowls using conservative methods?

The only effective way is plastic surgery, threads and other interventions that will completely eliminate the unwanted defect. All other options will help in cases where deficiencies have just begun to form. They will help tighten the oval a little and prevent the rapid progression of sagging skin.

If the changes are critical, then only surgical methods will help restore turgor. In the future, you can use conservative ones to prolong the effect. With insufficient care, even after plastic surgery, the problem may return again, which will require more expensive and drastic interventions to restore beauty and youth.

Jowl massage

Quite an effective remedy. After applying cosmetics, you should move with special massage rollers or hands in the direction from the chin, to the sides and up to the ears. Massaging can also be done with a soft towel soaked in saline solution. After finishing, the salt must be washed off, and a moisturizer or anti-aging cream is applied to the skin.

Removing jowls on the face with lifting masks

Both pharmacy and home recipes are suitable. In the case of folk remedies, aloe, honey, essential oils of orange, cedar, tea tree, and argan will help. Among store-bought products, you should choose those that have the following on the label: panthenol, allantoin, marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, snail mucin and others.

Exercises for jowls

Beautiful and tightened skin on any part of the body is unthinkable without strong muscles. The face is no exception to the rule. Let's consider a special set of exercises that allows you to keep muscle fibers in good shape:

1. It is necessary to puff out your cheeks strongly. Then roll the air from one side to the other for 30 seconds.
2. Imagine a candle in front of you, purse your lips and sharply blow out the imaginary fire at least 50-60 times.
3. Press your index fingers to your cheeks and then try to smile. Hold your hands firmly enough so that the effort you put into this process is noticeable.
4. Alternately move your lips to one side and the other. Wrinkles and other irregularities on the tense part of the face should be smoothed out.
5. Relax your lips. They should remain in this position until the end of the exercise. Stick your tongue out as far as possible and lift the tip up. Repeat the movement for a minute.

Face fitness will help prolong youth and tighten the unclear contours of the face. It is enough to devote 15-30 minutes a day to the procedures. It is good to combine them with massage, lifting masks and other care products that improve turgor.

Cosmeceuticals

The symbiosis of cosmetic preparations and nutraceuticals has proven itself in the fight against cosmetic defects. Such compositions have both a caring effect and a healing effect on the skin. Rare plant extracts and patented effective vitamin and protein complexes help stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin in tissues and restore water-fat balance.

Cosmetics from the RHANA corporation contain the necessary proteins, vitamins, micro- and macrocomponents, growth factors necessary for cell renewal and healing:

• GHC Placental Cosmetic is a biocorrector cream for intensive rejuvenation. Makes the skin denser, more elastic and firmer.
• Modeling 3-D mask with placenta hydrolyzate and coenzyme Q10. Evens out tone, promotes cellular renewal, eliminates wrinkles and tightens the oval.
• GHC Placental Cosmetic is a concentrated lotion for intensive rejuvenation. Serves to prevent the development of inflammation, protects skin cells from free radicals, and also restores the natural uniform color.

Doing a massage with a towel

There are a variety of options for home massage. I will tell you about a technique using a terry towel, the size of which must be chosen based on the size of your face: the towel should almost completely follow its contours. Take two bowls of water. Pour cold water into the first and add 1/2 tablespoon of salt, and hot water into the second. Fold the towel lengthwise and soak it in cold water, wring it out a little and lightly pat it on your chin, then apply it to it and gently pull it towards your temples. Stay in this position for 3 minutes. Next, repeat the same manipulations with hot water. The procedures need to be done 3-5 times.

How to tighten facial jowls surgically

The most effective, but also radical, method of correcting the situation is surgery. It is worth remembering that any intervention in the human body is accompanied by risks. Therefore, before contacting a surgeon, it is necessary to undergo a complete examination by the attending physician.

Today, there are small, gentle techniques that allow you to restore turgor with minimal intervention and tissue damage. These tasks should be a priority in solving the problems of aesthetic medicine.

Doctors also recommend contacting a medical facility before surgery to find the root cause of the prolapse. Unless, of course, they are obvious (overweight, genetics, age over 50). In this case, you can guarantee a long-term effect after applying the procedures.

Contour plastic surgery of jowls

One of the simplest methods that has proven itself well in combating sagging skin. The technique is based on injections of a special gel or filler into the deep layers of the dermis. The punctures are made at a sufficient depth so as not to form visible tubercles. The basis of such preparations is hyaluronic acid. It is quickly absorbed by cells, but at the same time stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in tissues, moisturizes, and prevents dehydration. This method is minimally invasive and low-traumatic, so it can be used even without prior consultation with a therapist. The compositions differ depending on the brand, but mainly contain:

• hyaluronic acid as a base;
• vitamin-protein complexes for nutrition;
• lidocaine to make the process as painless as possible;
• buffers to prevent the risk of inflammation.

As you can see, there is nothing dangerous in the compositions; on the contrary, all these substances are necessary for the normal functioning of dermal cells, but they are often lacking. The invasive method allows you to immediately deliver substances in large quantities to the deep layers of the dermis, triggering the synthesis of collagen, elastin and cell structure renewal.

Jowl lift with threads

Thread lifting is often used and is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. It is based on the fact that thin threads are introduced under the skin, which may differ in texture:

• gold;
• mesothreads;
• Aptos and so on.

There are enough species to list them all. They can be without thorns or with them, additional notches. They are inserted into the deep layers of the skin to create a so-called frame. It provides additional support, allowing you to improve the oval and geometry, and prevent further sagging. The result lasts from a year to five, depending on the anatomical features, care and initial choice of materials.

Installation of implants

Maxillofacial surgical inserts made of porous polyethylene help solve these problems by giving the face the desired features and geometry.

Contrary to popular belief, such an intervention is safe, although it is considered traumatic. Cases of material rejection are rare, since components of high biocompatibility are used for the manufacture of implants. Complications occur less frequently than with Botox and other minimally invasive methods. In addition, if necessary, the inserts can be easily removed, and thin cosmetic seams remain invisible to others. They are tightly fixed, do not move even with impacts, and the procedure itself is performed once and for life.

We recommend

GHC Placental Cosmetic - 3-D modeling mask with placenta hydrolyzate

Bb Laboratories – Regenerating placental-hyaluronic mask

GHC Placental Cosmetic – Biocorrector cream for intensive rejuvenation

GHC Placental Cosmetic - Concentrated lotion for intensive rejuvenation

We buy only the right cream

When choosing a cream, forget about the stereotype “the more expensive the better.” The main thing is to find the necessary ingredients in the composition: elastin (responsible for skin elasticity), retinol, vitamin E, argan oil, magnesium (improves blood circulation). The higher the component is on the list, the more of it there is in the cream itself, therefore, it has an active effect on the skin. If a component that is important to you completes the list, it means that this product contains so little of it that you should not expect any benefit. Take this point into account.

Jowl prevention

Any problem is easier to prevent. Therefore, in order not to look for methods to get rid of it in the future, you should follow a few simple recommendations:

• perform small gymnastics for the face every day for 10-15 minutes;
• do not forget about the use of skincare moisturizing and lifting cosmetics;
• try to follow a daily routine, get more rest;
• avoid the negative impact of stressful situations, if they occur - take sedatives that reduce the destructive effects of stress factors;
• move more and eat right to avoid the accumulation of fat deposits;
• give up alcohol and smoking;
• drink enough fluids, make sure that there is no tissue dehydration;
• do not eat too salty foods, minimize salt intake in the diet;
• try to maintain correct posture, especially when working at a computer or when viewing content on mobile gadgets;
• select cosmetics that suit your skin type;
• When going outside, even in the cold season, use creams with UV protection.

These are fairly simple tips that are easy to implement to prolong your beauty and youth.

Nourishment for filled cheeks

The condition of the subcutaneous fatty tissue has an important influence on the contours of the oval of the face; it must be in good shape. You need to eat as many vegetables and fruits as possible. It is also worth excluding foods that cause the destruction of fiber, such as coffee, sweets, tobacco, and alcohol.

Even with a satisfactory condition of subcutaneous adipose tissue, a grayish tint to the skin gives a visually excessive thinness to the face.

To avoid this unpleasant factor, you should take a course of vitamins and minerals.

Skin dehydration has a negative impact on the condition of the oval face. In order to avoid this, you need to drink about 2 liters of clean water a day.

When choosing drinks, it is better to give preference to green tea and natural juices. Sweet and carbonated drinks should be excluded from the diet.

Features of the course of neurosis in women

Neurosis is diagnosed in a third of the world's urban population. Neurology is one of the most common ailments of the nervous system—the disease occurs in every fourth person with mental illness. A study of the incidence of neurosis has shown that neurotic disorders are common in men and women over 30 years of age. However, neurotic disorders in women usually occur in a more severe form than in men.

The reason for such conclusions is the emotionality of women. Doctors note that neurosis most often appears in expressive and emotional people. According to statistics, women are more sensitive than men.

Experts also say that, unlike men, women suffer from neurosis almost twice as much. Menopause is considered one of the causes of neurosis in women. Any hormonal changes affect our nervous system and can bring unpleasant consequences.

Perhaps, in this case, a social factor also plays a role - men are less likely to go to doctors, especially to a psychotherapist. However, today experts say that the flow of men to psychotherapists has increased, but women are still more willing to go to a doctor for help.

Also, by the will of fate and centuries-old traditions, not only a career and daily work falls on a woman’s shoulders, but also cleaning the house and raising children. The modern woman has more tasks, the principle “you need to be strong and hold on” is firmly stuck in your head. However, this unknown force will not protect you from overload and fatigue. Then for help you need to contact a psychotherapist who will prescribe treatment. Psychotherapy sessions help to influence the cause of neurosis, change the attitude towards a traumatic situation and facilitate the release of emotions, accelerating recovery.

Symptoms of neurosis in women

The signs of neurosis in women differ from the opposite sex due to our physiological characteristics of the body. For example, among women the list of symptoms of neurosis includes insomnia, frequent nightmares and sleep paralysis, but this is not observed in men. Also, in women with neurosis, there is a deviation in the menstrual cycle.

Doctors identify the following most common symptoms of neurosis in women:

• anxiety;
• irritability;
• expressiveness of behavior;
• refusal to eat;
• impairment of physical qualities: loss of strength, feeling tired, loss of endurance;
• heart and headaches;
• vestibular disorders, balance disorders
• excessive tearfulness;
• sudden mood swings.

There are several types of neurosis, one of them is hysterical, most often called hysteria. According to doctors, signs of this type of disease are most often observed in women. Experts interpret hysterical disorder as an ardent desire to attract attention to the sick person. The disease is characterized by demonstrative behavior. A person suffering from such a disease often screams loudly, makes scandals, and sobs bitterly.

Medical psychotherapists have extensive experience and all the necessary resources for the successful treatment of neuroses.

Features of the course of neurosis in children

Neurasthenia is also common in children of primary and preschool age. Symptoms of the disorder are similar to those in adults. The difficulty in determining pathology lies only in the fact that young children often cannot explain what is happening to them and how they feel.

The child's appetite decreases, sleep problems appear, and nightmares often occur, as a result of which the baby may even cry out in his sleep and wake up without understanding what is happening. Increased sweating occurs and the temperature of the extremities decreases.

In addition to all the above signs of pathology, the child may have a headache, he is sensitive to bright light and loud sounds. There is also often a sharp change from positive emotions to negative ones: crying, aggression and depression.

Experts recommend immediately seeking help from a doctor, since neurosis in childhood is much more difficult to treat than in adults.

What types of neurosis exist and how do they differ?

• Depressive.
  This type of neurosis is characterized by such symptoms in a person as tearfulness, sudden changes in mood, feelings of despair and helplessness. The person suffering from the disorder loses interest in life and becomes melancholy. During depressive neurosis, a person experiences low self-esteem, guilt, and frustration.
• Anxious.
  Often has manifestations at the physical level: dry mouth, increased sweating, rapid heartbeat. Anxiety neurosis can result in panic attacks and phobias. A person constantly experiences a feeling of fear.
• Hysterical (“conversion disorder”)
  - most often manifests itself if a person has experienced a strong emotional shock or a traumatic event. There is a change or loss of motor/sensory function indicating a physical disorder that is not detected. For example, after an accident, a person may experience loss of speech, although there is no physical reason for this.
• Obsessive-compulsive.
  Intrusive thoughts and images appear. Often such thoughts have no rational grain and are catastrophic in nature. To counter the overwhelming anxiety, a person performs compulsive, repetitive actions.
• Rehearsal.
  It manifests itself as attempts to resolve an issue that in the past remained unfinished. A person suffering from rehearsal neurosis transfers conflicting relationships from the past to the present and believes that this reality still exists today.

For example, a person believes that everyone treats him badly or no one likes him. As a result, he begins to behave in accordance with his ideas about others.

• Hypochondriacal.
  The patient becomes too suspicious and overly concerned about his health; he finds symptoms of various diseases where they actually do not exist. A person invents a terrible disease, torments himself, and stress or anxiety appears. Despite negative tests and consultations with doctors, the patient remains convinced of this.
• Depersonalization.
  Fear, panic and anxiety appear. It’s as if a person lives in a dream, “disconnecting” from his own body and thoughts.
• Military or post-traumatic stress disorder.
  It manifests itself under very shocking circumstances, when a person saw death or was captured or suffered serious injuries (physical and psychological). This type of neurasthenia is manifested by very strong stress, panic attacks, and an aggressive state. Such stress is dangerous because it can lead to disability, including functional disability that negatively affects daily life.

Neurosis and memory problems

Excessive anxiety leads to decreased concentration, which means that the patient often has problems with memory and attention. In order to influence the problem, you can take vitamin complexes of natural origin, as well as conduct useful memory training.

Experts recommend engaging in light physical activity and daily exercise to relieve anxiety and excessive worry.

Try not to multitask, this will only make the problem worse. It is better to remove all distractions while working or doing what you love. Such distractions include a mobile phone or any other mobile device. Turn them off when doing important things.

To reduce the strain on your eyes and brain, take breaks from work and study. Don't overwork yourself. You can take a walk in the fresh air or do some exercise.

Neurosis and psychosis: what is the difference?

Often these concepts are confused or interchanged. But diseases are different in their manifestations and the internal feeling of a person. For example, during the development of obsessive-compulsive neurosis, a person maintains a sense of reality and looks for new ways to adapt to it. He recognizes that he is suffering from a disorder and that this suffering is a product of mental instability.

During psychosis, a person perceives the world around him differently. He adapts reality according to his personal perception (often delusional), experiences hallucinations and delusions. And the main thing is how psychosis differs from neurosis: the patient is not aware of his problem.

Neurosis and vegetative-vascular dystonia

As we mentioned above, during neurosis signs appear on the physical level, such as rapid heartbeat, fluctuations in blood pressure, chest pain, difficulty breathing, etc. All these symptoms are similar to the signs of a disease such as vegetative-vascular dystonia.

VSD is a complex of symptoms of different localization that occur when there is a malfunction in the autonomic nervous system. And neurosis is a disorder of the central nervous system caused by the psyche (stress, depression, etc.). Since the nervous system is connected, disturbances in one department provoke disruptions in the functioning of another.

How is neurasthenia diagnosed?

To diagnose and identify the disease, you need to consult a neurologist, and sometimes a psychologist and psychiatrist. At the city clinic, you can contact your primary care physician, who will write a referral to a neurologist. However, this takes time. You often have to wait 2 weeks for an appointment with a doctor. In some cases, this is simply impossible, since it is necessary to quickly conduct an examination and prescribe treatment before the situation becomes critical.

Therefore, we recommend contacting the Medunion medical clinic. We employ practicing neurologists, and you don’t have to wait several weeks for appointments. Sign up today for a time convenient for you, not for the remaining time, and get tested tomorrow.

Patients choose us because we provide the service of a specialist coming to your home if you cannot come to the clinic on your own. You can also take samples directly at home.

Diagnosis includes interviewing the patient or his immediate family (guardians), collecting anamnesis and studying the medical history. To make a diagnosis, the doctor needs to know the symptoms that bother the patient.

To exclude other pathologies, the neurologist prescribes laboratory tests:

• Blood analysis;
• Analysis of urine;
• Ultrasonography;
• CT scan;
• Magnetic resonance imaging.

The specialist will also conduct psychological tests. For example, color technique. It consists in the fact that the patient is offered a palette of colors from which he must choose the color he likes. Colors such as purple, gray, red, brown, black indicate a high probability of developing neurosis.

What active ingredients should be present in eye cosmetics?

Cosmetics for eyes with thin skin should be special

High-quality compositions included in cosmetic products for the care of thin and dry skin necessarily contain the following components, the action of which is to restore, moisturize, nourish and strengthen both the outer and inner layers of the skin:

• retinol or vitamin A, involved in cell regeneration (renewal), improvement of microcirculation, hydration, nutrition, firmness support, elasticity, general rejuvenation;
• lanolin, containing a large percentage of animal fats, instantly nourishes, protects and thickens the turgor;
• vegetable oils with a high content of vitamin E of youth and beauty (jojoba, olive, burdock, peach, almond, wheat germ);
• allantoin or bisabolol (restore damaged cells, prevent dryness and irritation of the epidermis, protect against the aggressive action of most external factors);
• hyaluronic acid (has active moisturizing, rejuvenating, promoting healing, and the production of its own collagen substances);
• vitamin C (strengthens the walls of blood vessels and small capillaries, prevents their fragility, redness and thickening - rosacea);
• extracts or decoctions of natural herbs and plants (eliminate inflammatory effects, saturate the skin with antioxidants, rejuvenate and renew).

Exercises to lift your cheeks. 2 Complex for correction of facial oval

Women after 40 years notice a loss of skin elasticity, the face sags, the corners of the lips droop down, and “bulldog” cheeks appear.
The problem with a drooping midface is weakening of the cheek and cheek muscles. Anti-aging exercises for cheek lift and face lift:

• Take a mouthful of air and move it from one cheek to the other, then under the upper and lower lips alternately. Repeat ten times. Once completed, you can make the task more difficult and roll the air in a circle.
• Hold the pencil between your lips and write your name in the air. The main thing is not to rush: if you feel very tired, you can take a short break and then continue working. The exercise increases the elasticity of the cheeks and raises the cheekbones higher.
• Inflate your cheeks, place your fingers on them and press on your cheeks, trying to deflate them. Fingers and cheeks resist each other. Repeat 15 times. A good strength exercise for the mid-face.
• Pull your lips into an oval so that all the wrinkles on your face are smoothed out. Place your index and middle fingers in your mouth along the bottom row of teeth. Pull in your cheeks and create resistance with your fingers inside. Repeat the exercise 30 times. If it becomes difficult to perform, you can do 10 times in three approaches. During work, the muscles get tired and the position of the lips may change. This should absolutely not be allowed: it is better to make movements slowly, but efficiently.
• Raise the zygomatic muscles. The lips make the same oval as in the previous exercise. The nasolabial folds are tightly pinched with your fingers. To prevent your eyes from squinting, you need to open them wider. Do 15 reps. In order to understand where these muscles are located, you should smile broadly or try to wink: the muscles that will move the most are the zygomatic. If the movement is well mastered, you can do it quickly, two contractions per second. Over time, the number of repetitions can be extended up to thirty times. This is the most effective exercise that has a lifting effect: it returns not only firmness to the muscles, but also elasticity to the skin.

Style Options

The style of makeup for a thin face depends on the time of day and the place where the woman is going - to work or a social event. Daytime makeup is applied with cosmetics of restrained, calm tones, evening makeup is applied in brighter and more saturated colors. For example, for daytime make-up, sand-colored shadows, a brown pencil for applying a very thin liner, gray mascara, and ripe peach-colored lipstick are used.

For evening makeup, you can safely use golden shadows with shimmering particles, black eyeliner for arrows on both eyelids (and the arrows should not connect), black mascara that creates volume and rich, bright lipstick.

Knowing how to make your face thinner with makeup, you can achieve the opposite effect - hide protruding cheekbones, sunken cheeks, and dark, unhealthy circles under the eyes. The main thing is to consider your color type and chosen style.

Features of facial skin care for men

As we have already mentioned, men’s facial skin differs from women’s in some respects:

• Men's skin is 20% thicker and has a higher Ph.
• It has a higher density, due to which it better resists external factors, but it is also less susceptible to cosmetics.
• Because of androgens, the sebaceous glands work harder, so men's skin, compared to women's, is oilier, more elastic, but also prone to inflammation, acne and the appearance of blackheads.
• Wrinkles appear later in men. But when they appear, they almost immediately become pronounced and deep, and are difficult to correct.
• Due to the large number of small vessels on the face, men are more susceptible to rosacea and facial redness.
• Men's skin contains more melanin. This means it is better protected from exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
• Men's skin has a good supply of collagen - this is also a definite plus.

Just like for women, there is no one-size-fits-all remedy for men. Care cosmetics should be selected taking into account the characteristics, skin type and existing problems.

There are 4 types of facial skin:

1. Dry - skin with small pores, lacking an oily sheen, causing a feeling of tightness after washing.
2. Normal - after washing, it quickly restores oiliness and does not cause discomfort or a feeling of tightness.
3. Oily - has enlarged pores and by the end of the day an oily sheen forms on it.
4. Combination skin has different areas from dry to oily in certain areas.

Cosmetics, regardless of skin type, provide basic facial care. It is divided into 3 stages.
