Types of wrinkles on facial skin

Wrinkles are divided according to several parameters. Based on their depth, they are divided into:

• epidermal;
• medium-deep;
• deep.

Epidermal or superficial wrinkles appear due to insufficient skin hydration. The easiest way to eliminate them is.

Medium-deep wrinkles are folds that penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and are a consequence of the long-term development of superficial wrinkles. They are more difficult to deal with, but you can still get by with cosmetics.

Deep wrinkles are pronounced folds that penetrate deep into the skin. Right down to the dermis. If they appear, a visible effect can only be obtained with surgical intervention.

• Do not exceed the recommended course and dosage. This is especially true for GKS.
• Be sure to test for allergic reactions on a small area of ​​skin.

Each medicine has a list of contraindications and side effects. Manufacturers are required to indicate them in the instructions. Cosmetic companies do not have such regulations. But this does not mean that their products cannot be dangerous or allergenic. Every woman knows many examples of eyelids swelling after mascara or hives starting after anti-wrinkle cream.

One more note. Pharmacy anti-wrinkle medications should only be used by women who do not use them for medicinal purposes for their intended purpose, so as not to develop an addiction and reduce the therapeutic effect if therapy is necessary.

Calcium chloride for peeling

Among anti-aging products, preparations with an exfoliating effect are very popular. Calcium chloride has the ability to dissolve and absorb dead cells on the face. After carefully performing all procedures with calcium chloride, small wrinkles disappear and skin swelling decreases.

Before the start of the session, a test is performed to check the body's reaction to the effect of the drug. To cleanse the face and fight wrinkles, use 5% or 10% solutions of calcium chloride.

To carry out the procedure, purchase high-quality baby soap. A calcium chloride solution polishes and cleanses the skin, removes toxins and improves blood circulation.

A 10% calcium chloride solution is added to facial care products to combat premature skin aging.

The procedure should not be performed for people with the following pathologies:

• dry and thin skin;
• tendency to allergic reactions;
• herpetic rash;
• hives

After inexpensive procedures with calcium chloride and baby soap, the patient sometimes experiences a feeling of tightness and dry skin. After some time, the unpleasant symptoms disappear.
