Pharmacy assistance for young people in the fight
It is not necessary to maintain the youthfulness of the facial skin and prepare remedies, you can buy ointments or creams from several pharmacies:
- Retinoin ointment;
- solcoseryl ointment;
- Anti-aging face cream (different brands).
Retinoic ointment is an excellent antibacterial remedy for various skin defects: acne, rashes, redness, which appear more strongly on the skin with age and last longer. Any means of defects should be applied on them, this ointment is no exception. Clean and healthy skin looks much younger and more beautiful, so you need to eliminate the unpleasant manifestations.
Solcoseryl ointment - a drug to improve the penetration of oxygen into the tissues. With age, the pores of the skin absorb this gas worse into the epithelium, which gradually affects its condition: it becomes dry, flaky, the tissues lose tone, look dull. Apply Solcoseryl on the whole face in a thin layer, gently massage on the face. People with sensitive skin are also allowed to "dilute" the ointment with a nourishing or moisturizing cream.
Anti-aging cream is an equally popular and widely advertised remedy that has a truly incredible effect: straightening deep wrinkles, tightening the skin and so on. Sh. Almost all cosmetic companies produce a series of creams for aging skin, which promises a rejuvenating effect. But we must understand that this is only part of the truth. Age-related facial cosmetics can really cleanse small wrinkles or eliminate unpleasant defects, but no single product can nourish the skin with collagen and can not deal with deep wrinkles on the skin.
Such creams nourish, replenish the supply of vitamins and minerals, but they do not create any "magic". They can be used in conjunction with other procedures, and when choosing should pay attention to the specified age.
