When we think about anti-aging cosmetics first of all we imagine different cosmetics for our face. We are so concerned about its state that we often forget about our body. The skin of the body also suffers from dryness, flabbiness and the lack of elasticity. Usually we begin to think about our body before vacation or when the problem is so serious that it can’t be ignored any more.

But the state of our body skin affects on how we feel ourselves every day because the skin has a lot of vital functions, namely it removes toxic substances out of the organism, influences the metabolism and synthesize vitamin D. Besides in the skin there are cells that are part of the immune system.

The skin of the body is of course more stable than that of the face, except some certain parts as for the most time it is covered with clothes, which protects us from other people’s looks and the negative impact of the environment. Nevertheless at the age of 35 the skin starts to age. But it may happen even earlier because of different diets or hormonal changes. That’s why if you want to prolong the youth of your body, you should take care of it very carefully.

What is the age of your skin in different parts of your body?
The youngest skin is on the inner side of our arms, buttocks, the lower side of your stomach and hips. The reason: these parts are not affected by ultraviolet rays and experience less tension.
Prognosis: the process of aging in these parts is rather determined by your hereditary than outward factors. The skin becomes less elastic and drier at the age of 50.

The more mature skin is on the elbows, knees and feet. The reason for it is physical , constant mechanical influence and the lack of vitamins. The skin there becomes dry and coarse.
Prognosis: if you don’t take care of the skin in these parts of the body (especially) feet you might have deep chaps. But one can overcome these problems.

The most mature skin.
The area of neck, décolleté, bosom and hands. The skin in these parts of the body becomes older quicker than on the face, because it is more affected by the negative influence of the environments. Very often we forget to protect these parts from ultraviolet, wind, alkaline soap.
Prognosis: it is these parts where first of all the skin looses its tone and elasticity, where pigmental spots appear.

Local problems: and how to cope with them.
The most common problem of the skin is dehydration. The signs of it may be a certain discomfort, wrinkles and peeling. Luckily one can cope with these problems by using moistening cream and properly chosen cleaners. It is more difficult to cope with ”constitutional” dryness, when the skin structure is the reason of the problem. In this situation you should use some special remedies. To achieve a greater effect we recommend studying the following table:

Cellulite
Can one cope with cellulite with the help of cream? No. There is no such cream yet which makes it possibly. Anti-cellulite remedies usually act as additional ones to more intensive procedures, such as diets, massage, special exercises and so on. That’s why on the tubes of most anti-cellulite creams you can read that they only stimulate and smooth out the skin. These remedies help to remove toxic substance and the excess of water out of cells. The good news is that most active ingredients of these creams (for example, retinol, antioxidants) help to cope with aging. They make the skin more elastic. When using these cream cellulite becomes less evident and the skin begins to cope with stress.

The first stretching of skin appears when you are a teenager. The situation is worsened during pregnancy or due to abrupt changes of weight. They are caused by hormonal or hereditary factors. That’s why cosmetic remedies can’t eliminate the stretching. It is impossible to get rid of them absolutely, but it is possible to make them less visible. Some cosmetologists recommend the remedies with retinol A and glicoline acid. Rose and red stretching are better to get rid of, older stretching are difficult to eliminate even with the help of the laser. That’s why try to prevent their appearing.

Vascular netting appears more often on the legs because of chronic venous insufficiency, constant load on legs and problems with bowel. The reason is hormonal. Doctors usually prescribe hormonal therapy and complex treatment. The use of creams and BAD is an additional remedy.
