Dry thin facial skin care. Learning to care for thin skin

Features of thin skin

Thin skin is in a special position. After all, the characteristic “thin” refers not to the type or temporary condition of the skin, but to the physiological characteristics of its structure.

You can determine whether you have thin skin by the following visual signs:

pores are almost invisible;

the tone is light, pale due to low levels of melanin;

the capillary network is visible;

the face turns red from touch and temperature changes;

irritation occurs easily.

Thin facial skin, visible veins. On hands

The veins in the arms swell much less frequently than in the legs. Some swelling of the veins and blood vessels in the arms is completely normal after physical activity and lifting various types of weights.

Vessels on the arms protrude due to their long stay in a lowered position, while the veins expand first near the hand, and only then on the forearm.

Often the vessels on the arms become clearly visible when there is a small amount of subcutaneous fat.

If the diet contains small amounts of carbohydrates and fats, this causes a certain dehydration of the body and a decrease in body fat.

The skin becomes thinner and the veins appear very noticeable.

However, with constant dilation of blood vessels in the hands, consulting a doctor will not hurt, since with no less probability this sign may indicate varicose veins. In this case, swelling of the veins of the arms is often accompanied by swelling and pain.

With the help of laser therapy, the walls of blood vessels are glued together, due to which the blood flow through the vein stops and it is excluded from the general circulatory system. Sclerotherapy works on the same principle, but in this case the walls are glued together by introducing a special sclerosant drug into the body.

If the patient has no contraindications, the main method of treatment is drug therapy - ointments and tablets. Additionally, vitamin complexes are prescribed.

In this case, in no case should you start taking any medications without a doctor’s prescription - this will distort the clinical picture of the disease and significantly complicate further treatment.

In advanced cases, when all of the above methods are ineffective, surgery is performed.

Signs of thin skin

The reasons why facial skin has become thin may be hidden in unfavorable environmental factors, heredity, as well as incorrectly selected cosmetics, both caring and decorative.

It can be distinguished by the following characteristics:

1. Pores are almost invisible;
2. Even complexion with a slight blush;
3. Vessels appear;
4. Aging faster, becoming flabby;
5. Turns red from temperature changes and touch;
6. Irritation occurs regularly.

The thin skin of the face turns red. Features and Signs

The reasons why thin skin appears on the face are hereditary factors, significant loss of water in the body, or changes associated with age. Age-related and hereditary causes cannot be corrected.

Thin skin can be identified using the following signs:

• even color, light blush;
• no noticeable pores;
• highly susceptible to irritation;
• redness appears after touching the face;
• Vessels are visible in places;
• gets old quickly.

To properly care for thin skin, you need to know its features. It instantly reacts to any external irritants (temperature changes, frost, ultraviolet rays, salt water, etc.). There is an insufficient amount of melanin in the epidermal cells, so the tissues have pronounced pallor. In people with rich facial expressions, the appearance of the first wrinkles is observed even before reaching the age of thirty.

Thin skin tissues suffer greatly from poor lifestyle and bad habits. If you didn’t get enough sleep the night before, or allowed yourself an extra portion of alcoholic drink, swelling, redness and rashes will appear on your face. Smokers will quickly show signs of facial aging.

It is worth choosing decorative cosmetics very carefully and responsibly. After all, a face can respond to it with an unexpected reaction. You should not save money and buy cheap cosmetics of unknown origin. Thin skin is too sensitive; after such exposure, acne, peeling, and red spots may appear.

But there are also positive aspects to thin skin. Since the tissue structure is the same in the area around the eyes and on the surface of the face, you can purchase fewer cosmetics for care. There will be no oily shine, enlarged pores or blackheads on your face.

To determine if your skin is thin, you can do a simple test. Take a regular pen and rub the blunt end of it across your cheek, no pressure required. With normal skin, the reddened mark disappears in fifteen, maximum twenty, seconds. If the mark remains longer, your skin is very thin and needs special care.

Rules for caring for thin skin

Proper care will help solve the problem of how to seal the integument. It is important to be careful when choosing ready-made and homemade cosmetics, and test them first for possible allergies. Avoid salon procedures with aggressive ingredients, as well as hardware cleanings.

Care for oily thin skin

Proper care consists of regular cleansing without the use of compounds with solid particles or acids. For toning, use tonics and lotions that do not contain alcohol. Herbal decoctions and clay masks will soothe the skin. To moisturize, use rice and wheat germ, peach and grape oils.

Creams for thin skin

How to prevent thinning and aging skin

With age, the condition of the skin of the face and body deteriorates, which leads to the appearance of visual signs of aging. But it is quite possible to significantly slow down the rate of withering and thinning of the skin, reduce the number of wrinkles and, as a result, maintain a youthful appearance for many years.

Causes of accelerated aging and thinning of skin

First of all, it is necessary to eliminate or minimize the negative effects of harmful factors on the skin, which include:

1. excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, coffee and tea;
2. smoking;
3. excessive ultraviolet radiation;
4. consumption of products containing large amounts of preservatives and other substances of chemical origin;
5. exposure to dust, polluted air, lack of oxygen and moisture;
6. excessive gesticulation, habit of grimacing or frowning.

Ways to prevent skin thinning and aging

At any age, you can maintain a healthy and attractive appearance of the skin of your face and body if you pay sufficient attention to care and eliminate the effects of the main causes of its premature aging. In this case, even existing age-related wrinkles will only emphasize well-groomed facial features.

Measures to effectively protect the skin from premature thinning:

1. consume as little processed food as possible, preferring raw fruits and vegetables;
2. Minimize the amount of sugar in your daily diet. Excessive indulgence in sweets is very harmful to the skin. Glucose molecules begin to interact with fats and proteins, thereby disrupting the structure of skin tissue, in particular collagen. An excess of sweets reduces the ability of collagen to participate in the renewal of skin cells, which leads to thinning and the formation of wrinkles. In addition, due to the abuse of confectionery products, the pores on the face expand, inflammatory processes occur, which leads to the formation of acne;
3. drink enough water. Lack of fluid leads to loss of moisture from skin cells and, as a consequence, to premature aging. Various drinks are not suitable for this purpose; you must drink pure water, no earlier than 1.5 hours after a meal and no later than 15 minutes before the start of a meal;
4. saturate the skin with moisture from the outside. For this purpose, it is necessary to periodically wash your face with clean cool water and regularly use moisturizing cosmetics. During the hot season, it is advisable to periodically spray your facial skin with water or a special micellar liquid from a spray bottle and allow the skin to dry on its own, only slightly removing excess moisture with a clean cosmetic napkin;
5. reducing exposure to solar radiation. When in the sun, be sure to protect your face with a hat or use sunscreen with an appropriate UV protection factor. As a result of prolonged exposure to sunlight, the skin becomes thinner and dries out over time, and the pigmentation process is disrupted. Prolonged exposure to the sun can be especially dangerous for people with a large number of moles;
6. Staying in the frosty winter air also contributes to the deterioration of facial skin. As a result of prolonged exposure to cold, the capillaries in the superficial subcutaneous layer are damaged, and the face becomes covered with a network of fine wrinkles. To protect against low temperatures, be sure to cover your face as much as possible, leaving only areas of the body necessary for breathing exposed;
7. special facial gymnastics significantly contributes to increasing the tone and elasticity of the skin and maintains its structure and elasticity. Before you begin performing special exercises, you need to carefully familiarize yourself with the effect of certain movements of the facial muscles on the skin; otherwise, you can only worsen the appearance of your face;
8. massage or self-massage helps relax the muscles of the skin, improves microcirculation in its upper layer and allows you to get rid of excess muscle tension that occurs under the influence of various emotions;
9. activities aimed at relaxing the whole body (auto-training, meditation, yoga) also contribute to deep relaxation and restoration of skin cells by relieving excess muscle tension and eliminating the negative influence of negative emotions.

In case of excessive dryness and thinning of the skin, it is also recommended to use homemade nourishing masks based on sour cream, olive oil, egg white, honey or avocado oil.

If you wish, you can visit a cosmetologist to receive professional advice and an individual selection of caring and restorative products, as well as to undergo a course of special hardware procedures.

As a result of comprehensive implementation of the above measures, it is quite possible to prolong the youth of the skin for a long time and prevent the premature appearance of signs of aging.

Reviews about caring for thin skin

Alexandra, 22 years old

I'm tired of waking up every morning with another problem, a blood vessel burst, or irritation on my cheek. I found a recipe for a mask for thin facial skin with cottage cheese and sour cream. The skin actually felt denser to the touch, the color was refreshed, and allergies went away.

Victoria, 35 years old

Thin skin on the face appeared after a course of cleansing by a cosmetologist. The comedones went away, but wrinkles began to appear. Now I trust only folk remedies; oils and dairy products moisturize and rejuvenate better than creams.

“Author of the article: Veronika Belova”:

Graduated with honors from the LOKON Academy of Beauty Industry. Mother of a beautiful child. I like to experiment, I constantly try different products, masks (including cooking with my own hands), techniques that can make us beautiful and healthy. I'm on VKontakte - write, I'm always glad.

Thin skin on legs. Very thin skin.

I wasn’t sure which section to choose, so let it be this one. I'm 17 and have very thin skin. And to be honest, I have no idea how to deal with this. Unfortunately, I don't feel very good about myself. I could even say that I hate it. I’m trying to do something about it, but somehow as soon as some result appears from my efforts - as soon as I look at my body, I again just want to lock myself in a room and cry all day long. Veins are visible all over my body, capillaries are visible on my legs and face. All buttocks are covered with a bunch of white stretch marks. There are also a couple on the knee and on the chest. If I can hide my legs by wearing tight tights or pants, then I cannot disguise my face. I apply a bunch of concealer to problem areas, but veins and capillaries are still visible. I went to the dermatologist at the beginning of May because of dry skin, and they prescribed me a cream. Fortunately, he helped, so now I have almost no problems with this. But about the capillaries on the face, she said that with age they will only increase, so if possible, they should be removed with a laser. I was also referred to an endocrinologist. We haven’t visited him yet, but I can roughly imagine what they will tell me. As far as I know, this laser surgery is only allowed for people over 18 years of age. And if this is so, then I will have to somehow put up with my shortcomings for more than a year. I’m not sure that I can withstand this mentally and not break down like last time. And I would like to ask if there are anyone here who has the same problems? Have you come to love yourself this way, or are you, on the contrary, trying to get rid of it? If the latter, are you now satisfied with your body? Or maybe this laser surgery did not meet your expectations at all?

Thin skin on the face and under the eyes: what to do and how to care for it?

Many representatives of the fair sex of all ages suffer from the fact that they have thin skin on their faces, which reacts with irritation and redness to everything. I allowed myself an extra glass of wine in the evening or forgot my sunglasses at home in the summer - and now the sensitive epidermis makes itself felt.

You need to learn to live with this feature of appearance and see not only the disadvantages in it. Among the advantages are aristocratic pallor and a similar structure to the skin around the eyes. So the care and corresponding recommendations will be approximately the same.

Questions and answers on the topic “Thin skin”

Question:
I have very thin skin on my hands (not my hands, but the area from the hand to the elbow), which, when it comes into contact with something hard, immediately rubs off (abrasions and wounds form) or bruises appear that do not go away for a long time.
All this causes discomfort and the wounds bleed. How to deal with this and which doctor should I contact? Answer:

Hello! You need to be examined by an endocrinologist, check your blood for sugar, and also contact a vascular surgeon.

Question:
The skin on my face is too thin and sensitive.
You can see all the wreaths, blood vessels, various redness and some different complexion all the time. And when there are situations when I have to cry, my eyes become very swollen and my whole face is covered with large red spots that last for a day. It's horrible. Please tell me what should I do? What foundations and face correctors (or other means) can be used to achieve an ideal, even complexion? Thank you in advance. Answer:

Thin, sensitive skin requires special care. First of all, you need to use special cosmetics for sensitive skin, and you should also avoid the use of hormonal creams and ointments. To improve the structure of the skin, it is recommended to carry out a biorevitalization procedure. You need to consult a dermatocosmetologist to discuss a course of procedures taking into account your individual characteristics.

Question:
I have thin facial skin, capillaries are visible on my cheeks.
How should I take care of my skin so as not to cause even more damage? And is it worth undergoing treatment? What thin skin care products can you choose? Answer:

I can't recommend anything without a personal inspection. I advise you to seek an in-person consultation with a dermatocosmetologist.

If you have thin coverings on your face, your skin reacts with irritation to many factors: temperature changes, exposure to sunlight, even drinking an extra glass of wine will certainly affect its condition. What to do: thin facial skin requires special attention. The problem cannot be completely solved, but its manifestations can be reduced with proper care. Its features are worth studying for all beauties, because with age, even normal skin will become thinner.

The covers consist of 3 main layers:

• epidermis, which performs protective functions;
• dermis containing collagen, blood vessels, muscles, nerves;
• hypodermis, which is the fatty layer.

The top layer of the epidermis serves as a barrier to bacteria and viruses, while simultaneously retaining the necessary water. You work on it by applying moisturizers that prevent the formation of microcracks and reduce the risk of infections.

The characteristics of the next layer, the dermis, in most cases determine the thickness of the skin. Genetics say that heredity remains a decisive factor here: even if you do not yet suffer from cosmetic problems, the presence of a network of veins on the bends of the elbows and on the back of the hands means that special attention should be paid to care. If you do not take action, the skin on your face will quickly lose its youth.

Age makes itself felt not only by slowing down cell division and decreasing collagen production: the hypodermis layer also becomes thinner. This means that the skin will sag more, which, together with other changes, will lead to premature aging.

Don't be upset: although it can be difficult to reverse the aging process, with proper care for the thin skin on your face you can prevent it. It is enough to adjust your habits, choose effective products, and you will do without expensive visits to salons.

Peculiarities

What causes thin facial skin and what features does it have? The most common causes are heredity, age-related changes and dehydration. It is impossible to eliminate the first two, so you need to be able to properly care for it. And for this you need to know some of its features:

• high sensitivity to external irritants: smoky air, ultraviolet radiation, salt water, strong wind, frost, temperature changes;
• deficiency of melanin in the cells of such skin is the reason for its pallor;
• a minimum of fat layer, which gives elasticity;
• in structure, the thin skin of the face is as close as possible to the epidermis around the eyes, so you can care for them with the same means, without spending money on different creams;
• if a person is very emotional, which is manifested in facial expressions, the first wrinkles will appear on thin skin by the age of 30;
• an incorrect lifestyle immediately affects the condition of thin skin: it quickly swells, turns red, and becomes covered in a rash due to drinking an extra glass of wine or a sleepless night, an abundance of fried and fatty foods in the diet;
• reactions to cosmetics can be the most unpredictable - and most often negative;
• there are also positive aspects in the fact that you have thin skin on your face: it never becomes covered with an oily sheen, the risk of blackheads is minimized, there are no enlarged pores;
• peeling;
• irritation;
• feeling of tightness after washing.

If you have thin skin only under your eyes, and the rest of your face does not have such features, take proper care of only that skin (read more, care for the skin around the eyes). And for the rest of the epidermis, use regular cosmetics suitable for its type.

Test control. Do you suspect that you have thin facial skin? Confirm or dispel your doubts: run the blunt end of the pen across your cheek. If the red mark after it disappears within 20 seconds, don’t worry: your skin is normal. If it remains on the face longer, it is indeed a thin epidermis with a thinned fat layer.

The skin on the face is thin. Thin skin - causes of thinning skin

The main reasons that provoke thinning of the skin include hereditary factors, age-related changes in the body and dehydration.
In order to verify the presence of thin skin, you can conduct a simple test using a regular paper napkin. It is applied to the face and then examined for traces of oil - one of the characteristics of thin skin is its dryness due to the lack of sebum. You can also gently run a ballpoint pen (blunt end) across your neck and observe the redness on the skin. Redness from normal skin usually goes away within 20 seconds, but if the mark remains for a long time, this is confirmation that you have thin skin with a minimal layer of fat. Another indicator of thin skin is pronounced capillaries, which give a reddish tint to the face.

In order to prevent the early appearance of wrinkles and the first signs of aging, women should take into account the following features of this type of dermis:

1. In emotional people with thin skin, the first expression lines may appear at the age of 30.
2. This type of skin is prone to peeling and irritation.
3. After washing, those with thin skin experience a feeling of tightness.
4. Sudden changes in air temperature, wind, cold or heat, staying in a smoky room or under the scorching sun very quickly affects thin skin.
5. Poor nutrition and bad habits immediately leave a mark on the surface of the skin - alcohol abuse, lack of sleep and an abundance of fatty and fried foods in the daily diet.
6. Frequent irritations on the surface of the skin caused by changing cosmetic products.
7. Lack of fat, which is often the cause of rapid loss of elasticity.
8. Paleness of thin skin due to an acute lack of melanin in the epidermal cells.

In order to avoid the appearance of fine wrinkles and pronounced vascular networks by the age of thirty, owners of thin skin should follow the advice of leading cosmetologists and dermatologists. Without following these rules, with age, the skin will lose moisture and become even thinner:

• It is strictly forbidden to wash your face with soap, as it not only causes irritation and peeling of the skin, but also disrupts the pH balance and provokes further thinning of the skin. To remove makeup, you should use only special products - micellar water, milk, gels and lotions. It is also undesirable to wash your face with ordinary tap water.
• Peeling is not used to cleanse thin skin.
• It is not recommended to leave decorative cosmetics on your face overnight.
• Creams and other cosmetics recommended for sensitive skin are ideal for caring for thin skin. In this case, day and night cream are applied twice a day, gommage is used no more than once every ten days, and a mask is used once a week.
• Even in winter, before going outside, you need to apply a cream with a high-level SPF filter to your skin.
• You cannot use hot water to wash your face; the ideal option is cool water. Compresses with the addition of medicinal herbs and wiping the surface of the skin with ice cubes are also prohibited.
• Face masks should not contain alcohol, citrus fruits, cinnamon, mustard and other products that can cause irritation.
• When the first small wrinkles appear, you need to start anti-aging care - only then can you prevent the process of early aging.
• Be sure to carry out massage sessions before going to bed - lightly patting your fingers on the surface of the skin, first the forehead, then lower, along the massage lines towards the chin. It is necessary to minimize your stay in the bathhouse, sauna, solarium and on the beach, and also not conduct aromatherapy sessions.
• Eliminate smoked, fried and spicy foods from your diet.
• Take a course of vitamin therapy and also take medications to strengthen blood vessels.

Rules of care

Dermatologists and cosmetologists write and talk a lot about how to care for thin facial skin in order to improve its condition. Without taking appropriate measures, it will become thinner even more, it will lose a huge amount of moisture, which it already lacks, and by the age of 30 you risk becoming the owner of a network of fine wrinkles and rosacea.

Want to avoid all this? Then follow the advice of experts:

1. Complete care for thin facial skin involves using only high-quality and fresh cosmetics marked “sensitive,” i.e. sensitive.
2. Do not remove makeup with tap water: use special products (milk, lotion, micellar water, gel).
3. Proper care of thin epidermis means prohibiting soap, which upsets the pH balance, dries out, thins, causes irritation and a feeling of tightness. It needs to be replaced with a special gel or milk for washing.
4. You should not leave makeup on your face overnight.
5. Twice a day you need to use night and day creams for sensitive skin, once a week - a serum or mask, once every 10 days - gommage (but not a scrub).
6. Peels are prohibited.
7. Start anti-aging care for thin facial skin after 30 years, when the first expression lines form. The sooner you start doing this, the fewer problems there will be in the future.
8. You cannot go outside without using sunscreen with a high SPF level (even in winter).
9. Every day before going to bed, do self-massage: for 1 minute, lightly tap your fingertips on the skin, starting from the forehead and ending with the chin, along the massage lines.
10. Homemade masks should not contain any alcohol-containing or aggressive components (mustard, cinnamon, citrus fruits, etc.).

16. Take a course of vitamin treatment twice a year.
17. You can take vascular-strengthening drugs.

How to care for dry and thin skin: optimal care methods

Owners of dry skin have often noticed that their dermis is easily exposed to external factors.
Many dermatologists and cosmetologists attribute this to the fact that this type of skin is usually too thin, so various kinds of wrinkles, peeling and similar problems can arise already in adolescence.

Dry and thin skin on the body, face or hands requires special care. What do owners of this type need to know and how to care for such capricious dermis?

Care for thin skin

Thin-textured skin is characterized by dryness and frequent irritation. It has one significant drawback, which is almost impossible to eliminate - it is more quickly subject to aging and the appearance of wrinkles. Unlike other types of epidermis, it is less resistant to external factors and weather conditions, and therefore most often has a dull, fading appearance.

However, the problems described above can be counteracted if you properly care for this type of epidermis. And the first thing you should pay attention to is hygiene. This applies not only to the dermis on the body, but also to the face. When skin comes into contact with water, irritation may occur, leading to peeling, inflammation and redness. To avoid this, it is recommended to use:

• warm water at room temperature, you can use slightly cool water, but in no case hot;
• it is better to use boiled or melt water, as it has a more gentle effect on the epidermis than chlorinated water;
• You can use herbal decoctions instead of water; chamomile, string, St. John's wort, and nettle are best for this.

Cool water not only has a more gentle effect on the skin, but also helps to avoid such troubles as capillaries.

The second thing that is one of the main rules for people with thin skin is properly selected skincare products. In order not to aggravate the situation and dry out the epidermis even more, it is recommended to choose natural cosmetics. If this is not possible, then you need to pay attention to the following factors:

• shower gels, soaps and cleansers should be selected according to the type of epidermis - give preference to series for dry, sensitive types;
• choose soap-free cosmetics, that is, SLS;
• It is better to use soap in liquid form, as it has less alkali;
• when choosing cosmetics, pay attention to the pH, which should not be more than 5.5;
• When performing hygiene procedures, it is highly undesirable to use washcloths, especially hard ones, as they can further damage the epidermis;
• After water procedures, be sure to use moisturizing cosmetics (milk, creams, gels or oils).

When exposed to sunlight, the skin can not only get burns, which will cause a lot of inconvenience, but can also dry out. This will lead to even greater thinning, as a result, without going to a dermatologist it will not be easy to correct the situation.

In summer, it is also recommended to cover the skin with thin fabrics, such as chiffon or tulle, so as not to expose it to the sun again. And on the beaches, use special tanning products; you can use a cheaper, but natural and effective product - olive oil.

In the winter season, when it comes to facial skin, you need to use protective creams against bad weather. You can also use any rich cream 10-15 minutes before going out into the cold. By covering the epidermis with an oily film, dry skin will be protected from wind, frost and exposure to cold weather.

Lack of vitamins and other microelements affects your skin

Cosmetics

For thin and sensitive facial skin, look for products marked “Sensitive”

To care for such problematic, dried out epidermis, you need specially developed cosmetics. It perfectly moisturizes, restores firmness and elasticity, and protects against external aggression.

There is another way out - to purchase and use creams and serums for the face, which are required by the thin skin around the eyes, which is also devoid of fat and needs special, more careful treatment.

So buy products labeled “sensitive” or “for eyes”.

All these cosmetic creams can be used not only for thin facial skin, but also for the equally sensitive and defenseless epidermis around the eyes. A magical transformation becomes possible thanks to the unique composition of such cosmetics. As a rule, it contains the following active substances:

• allantoin soothes irritations and restores damaged epidermis;
• hyaluronic acid moisturizes, heals;
• almond oil, myrrh, jojoba create a barrier film from aggressive external factors;
• retinol moisturizes, restores, prevents dryness;
• ascorbic acid heals, protects, strengthens, and maintains the fat (lipid) layer in a normal state;
• tocopherol gives elasticity, tones, rejuvenates;

Even the very thin skin under the eyes and the most sensitive epidermis of the face are transformed under the influence of properly selected cosmetics. The rays of facial wrinkles become less noticeable. The pallor recedes and a blush appears on the cheeks. Abundant hydration prevents dryness and flaking.

But if all these remedies cause a negative reaction in the form of a skin rash, irritation, hyperemia, etc., you will have to use folk remedies to care for thin and sensitive facial skin.
