Cosmetologists distinguish several types of facial aging. One of them is the tired facial aging type.

Why does the face look tired

A constantly tired-looking face is an individual aging feature that manifests with age.

In the tired type, the outer corners of the eyes and the tips of the eyebrows, the corners of the lips, droop, swelling appears, and the face seems to sag down. Bags and dark circles appear under the eyes, and in some cases, the eyes and cheeks may sink.

The skin loses its tone and looks parchment-like, and the complexion appears pale, yellowish, or earthy.

A distinctive feature of this type is relatively good appearance in the morning, which gradually worsens by the evening.

Who most often experiences tired morphotype aging

As a rule, the tired look is common in thin women with oval or diamond-shaped faces. Their skin is usually normal or dry.

Constantly tired-looking face: what to do

All measures aimed at improving the appearance in tired morphotype aging can be divided into general and local, aimed at maintaining the face.

General measures to combat a tired face

For women with a tired face, it is especially important to lead a healthy lifestyle:

• Get enough sleep;
• Spend time outdoors daily;
• Include light physical activity in the daily routine (e.g., at least 30 minutes of walking per day).

With this type of aging, smoking, poor diet, and alcohol abuse have the most significant impact on appearance.

It is necessary to give up bad habits and eat a balanced diet. Nutrition for tired aging should include the following products:

• Complete protein — at least 1 gram per kilogram of body weight;
• Healthy fats — butter and olive oil, beef fat, egg yolks, fatty fish;
• Foods rich in vitamin C (fermented and fresh vegetables).

Since this type is prone to accumulating excess water in tissues, it is recommended to reduce the intake of starchy and dairy products, sugar, and nuts, which contribute to edema.

Facial care for a tired type: what to do in the salon and at home

A radical option to improve appearance with tired aging is aesthetic surgery. Naturally, this option is not suitable for everyone, unlike procedures that can be performed in the salon.

Tired face: what to do in the salon

A cosmetologist can offer three types of procedures for a tired face:

• Invasive,
• Non-invasive,
• Physiotherapeutic.

Invasive facial procedures

These are procedures associated with the injection of drugs into the skin and subcutaneous tissues.

Biorevitalization

The introduction of hyaluronic acid into the skin by injection. The procedure is especially effective for women aged 30 to 50. After biorevitalization, the skin becomes firmer and acquires a natural glow.

Mesotherapy

Suitable for sagging tissues, loss of elasticity, and the appearance of the first wrinkles. Cocktails of biologically active substances are injected subcutaneously. The result is fresher skin, a rested look.

Contour plastic surgery

This is an alternative to plastic surgery, allowing for the restoration of lost volume in areas where it has been lost and the restoration of the natural features of the face.

Non-invasive methods

Many women are afraid of invasive procedures and prefer a more conservative approach. Non-invasive procedures are offered to them in the salon.

Cleansing

Various types of cleansing not only help remove dead and damaged cells from the skin but also activate skin renewal and rejuvenation processes through controlled damage to the epidermis. The skin becomes firmer, the complexion improves, and wrinkles disappear.

Superficial and medium peelings with retinol and fruit acids are especially beneficial for a tired face.

Masks

Moisturizing and nourishing masks are part of salon care. The cosmetologist applies more concentrated formulations than those available for home use. They refresh the skin, reduce small wrinkles, and slightly lighten the complexion.

Important.

Masks do not replace full skin care; they only complement it.

Manual and hardware massage

A properly performed massage by a competent cosmetologist activates blood circulation, improves tissue nutrition, and eliminates swelling, resulting in tighter skin, improved complexion, and a fresher, more rested look.

The cosmetologist’s arsenal includes various types of massage. The optimal option is chosen individually.

Physiotherapy

In the salon, hardware procedures using ultrasonic radiation, microcurrents, myostimulation, and darsonval may be offered for a tired face. Thanks to improved blood circulation and lymphatic drainage effect, the face regains lost contour clarity and a fresh color.

Home care for tired facial aging

Any salon procedures are more effective if you care for your skin at home using quality cosmetics.

Facial care for tired facial aging, in general, does not differ from the care for any other type of skin. Morning and evening cleansing, moisturizing, and nourishing the skin, as well as masks two to three times a week, are required.

When choosing cosmetics, pay attention to their compositions.

For a tired face, the skin is usually prone to dryness. Cleansing should be gentle and delicate. Use gentle gels, foams, mousses, or cleansing milk.

Cosmetic products should include the following components:

• Moisturizers. Look for hyaluronic acid, glycerin, NMF, urea, polysaccharides in the formulations.
• Vitamins. Products with vitamin C are recommended to improve the complexion and add glow to the skin. Vitamins A and E for anti-aging care.
• Natural oils — cocoa, olive, evening primrose, jojoba. Soften and tighten the skin.
• Peptides, coenzyme Q10 — anti-aging.
• Plant extracts — chamomile, cucumber, sea buckthorn.
• Components that strengthen blood vessels, such as horse chestnut extract.
• Components that reduce skin swelling — algae, green tea extract, caffeine.

Masks have a pronounced effect on tired skin. Moisturizing and nourishing masks make the skin look fuller and fresher. Peel-off masks and alginate plasticizing masks work well. Fruit acid masks improve the complexion and make the skin smoother and more even.

Self-massage

Self-massage does not replace a massage performed by a salon specialist, but regular performance allows for noticeable results. Various types of lymphatic drainage self-massage using gua sha scrapers, roller massagers, as well as simply performed with hands, such as Asian Zogan massage, are recommended for a tired face.

A healthy lifestyle, routine, careful home care, and procedures performed in the salon will help slow down skin aging and combat a tired face.
