From the changes in elderly skin, it is easy to find that as human skin ages, there are significant changes in its structure and physiological metabolism. It is not difficult to observe pathological changes in elderly skin such as epidermal atrophy, thinning, and atrophy and reduction of skin appendages such as sebaceous glands and sweat glands. So, how can elderly people take care of their skin and beauty?
1. Nourish the skin with nutrients
Regularly apply cream-based cosmetics that contain nutrients, such as ginseng pearl cream, tremella cream, and other moisturizing products, gently applying them to the face with fingertips. Massage appropriately to promote blood circulation in the skin, making it elastic, smooth, and moisturized.
2. Hydrate the skin
The age of human skin depends on the amount of water in skin cells. Drinking 6 to 7 cups of water every day helps replenish the lost moisture in the skin cells. Bathing also helps with beauty. Before bathing, drink a glass of water, and after bathing, apply a layer of moisturizing cream on the face and limbs. These are effective methods to replenish moisture.
3. Nourish the kidneys and blood
Middle-aged and elderly people tend to have kidney deficiency and blood deficiency. Therefore, it is recommended to eat foods that nourish the kidneys and blood, such as walnuts, black sesame, jujube, purple rice, etc. Eat more foods rich in protein, minerals, and vitamins, especially seafood, fruits, vegetables, and nuts, to supplement the nutrients needed for the skin and hair.
