The first signs of aging appear earlier than expected: since then, the face must be cared for with great care.

According to M. Bylaitė-Bučinskienė, the aging processes begin for each person individually. Some don’t even see signs of aging until they’re 40, and then they seem to start aging very suddenly.

“But for most people, the aging process begins at age 27, the first small wrinkles are noticeable: laughter, facial expressions.” These people who have had atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and acne are already used to taking care of their skin. However, most people don’t really know what creams are, ”smiles the dermatologist.

After cosmetic injections – to the doctor’s office

Unfortunately, there is no one way to restore youthful facial skin. As your doctor says, before taking any injection or other procedure, you need to know what it is and what you can end up with.

“Botulinum toxin injection itself is a wonderful way to eliminate increased sweating. No antiperspirant will help like these injections. Especially for those who sweat it is really a big problem. They are also used for facial corrections. <...> These injections can only be done by doctors, but in Lithuania they are performed by cosmetologists and hairdressers, sometimes not even beauty specialists. But a person, if he chooses a procedure, must find out where he is going. After all, you don’t go to the main refrigerator to fix your teeth. <...> And then you have to help and save from complications. Little is said about them, but they are really abundant in Lithuania, I have to treat these patients, “said the professor. M. Bylaitė-Bučinskienė.

During quarantine, according to the doctor, cases of psoriasis, urticaria, atopic dermatitis worsened significantly, occurring more in adults. And right now, as the doctor says, the whole wave is rosacea, acne. This is associated with high fever and stress, as it disrupts the digestive system.

“The brain, nerves, skin and the gastrointestinal tract are directly related. If something is wrong with an organ, the skin always reflects it and reacts immediately. The microbiota is very important for skin diseases, “said the professor.

The interlocutor also points out that people who are sunburned are calling the doctors en masse at the moment: “colleagues on the coast called, they said it was bad to see them.”

Creams or oils that look innocent can be dangerous.

According to the doctor, there are certain areas on the face whose condition reflects the health of certain organs. For example, rashes of the lower jaw and neck are often associated with endocrine problems, stress, emotions.

Attention should be paid if the face did not normally stop, but suddenly the health of the skin deteriorated sharply.

“Perhaps the cream you are using is already too heavy for that period. In fact, a heavier textured cream should be changed to a lighter one in summer due to clogged pores. If possible, try to use as little makeup as possible, do not spray perfume on the skin, as they can react to strong sun and leave pigment spots, “said Professor. M. Bylaitė-Bučinskienė.

The interlocutor also warns about aromatic oils: they should be avoided on a sunny day, since, like perfume, they can leave brown pigment spots.

It is also important not to swim or bathe in water if you are not sure that the water is really clean. The doctor warns that rashes can appear even after bathing in not very clean or flowery water.

“Grandmothers who have joint pain, or athletes who also have something to hurt, should not expose themselves to sunscreen and, if necessary, cover the bandaged area, wrap it in a bandage, or wash off the cream. Otherwise, very pronounced contact dermatitis can occur, which will really make life worse, “said the interlocutor.

Also, today, according to the doctor, a large number of cases of dyshidrotic eczema are noted, when many itchy nodules appear on the hands and toes.

Your doctor will give you basic rules on how to prevent old age:

1. Lifestyle. It is necessary to go to bed and get up early, drink enough water, eat more vegetables, fruits, be physically active, avoid harmful habits. Smoking is especially harmful to the skin. “If the girls don’t see it, then in 10 or even 30 years, specialists will see very clearly who smokes. Also alcohol,” said the prof. M. Bylaitė-Bučinskienė.

2. It is necessary to moisturize the skin, whether it is oily or dry, more or less. If the age is younger, only moisturizers are enough, then nourishing creams can be added. From the age of 27 it is necessary to start using various serums to strengthen the skin, with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, coenzymes.

3. Sun protection is very important. Failure to comply with these and other previous rules always contributes greatly to skin aging significantly faster. Especially the skin from the sun should be protected from 20 years. If you want to have a brighter, more beautiful, less pigmented and less wrinkled skin, it is mandatory to hydrate the skin and protect it from the sun.

“However, it must be remembered that the skin is not a substance that can be seriously affected by trying to rejuvenate. It is necessary to realize that there are periods of age, there are methods. And I am terrified that there are already people who have tried all the systems Lasers found in Lithuania when they are between the ages of 25 and 30. Not all lasers are for young skin, the professor said.

– A young person is incredibly beautiful, the skin only needs moisture and maybe a little more quality care products, but it doesn’t really need the full arsenal of what is meant for people 50-60. If young skin is laser cut and affected in every way, in the long run we will only have a scar and it will sink faster. Not everyone really needs that laser. “
