Nowadays, not only many women pay more attention to skin care, but many men have also begun to take care of skin care. Only by taking good care of the skin will you look younger. Men need to do a good job in skin care and anti-aging, and they should pay attention to avoid Some misunderstandings, so what are the misunderstandings about anti-aging for men? What should men pay attention to in anti-aging? Let me introduce it to you below.
1. Men’s anti-aging misunderstandings
1. If you use sunscreen well, your skin will not age
If you want to prevent skin aging, sunscreen is necessary all year round. need to be done, but this is only the most basic step. The skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays over time, which will inevitably lead to melanin deposition, dryness and oxidation of the skin, wrinkles and sagging.
However, just using sun protection does not mean that you can avoid anti-aging! In addition to sunlight, environmental pollution, work pressure, irregular work and rest schedules, etc. are all causes of skin aging. No matter how good your skin is, it cannot stop the damage caused by these external forces. You can start using anti-aging products step by step, such as adding an eye cream first, or a soothing anti-aging cream with pure plant ingredients, which will not bring too much nutrition to the skin and can slowly start to prevent aging.
2. Don’t worry. When wrinkles appear, go for micro plastic surgery. Although micro plastic surgery has immediate results, it is only effective for 3 months at most. Anti-aging is a long-term battle.
Micro plastic surgery such as collagen injection is now the fastest and most convenient cosmetic method. But in any case, it is a temporary effect, and the price you need to pay for this is that you have to have an operation every 3 months or even shorter. Also prepare yourself mentally for a mask of stiff muscles that you will have to maintain for a lifetime.
In fact, before deciding to have plastic surgery, there should be many things you can do in your daily skin care. For example, massaging your eyelids can make your eyes brighter and your skin firmer. When applying facial cream, raise your face, then use your fingers to massage along your cheeks from bottom to top. In fact, you don’t need to put in so much effort. You can slowly achieve the anti-aging goal by adding a few tricks to your skin care process.
3. I think that if you moisturize well, you don’t need to fight against aging
Expert opinion: Moisturizing enough can prevent the appearance of dry lines, but it cannot prevent fine lines caused by the loss of collagen! Moisturizing is indeed a good way to help improve the "quality" of your skin. Skin that is filled with moisture is full of elasticity and is naturally less prone to wrinkles than dry skin. But this does not mean that adequate moisturizing will prevent anti-aging. The absence of dry lines does not mean that fine lines will not appear! In fact, after the age of 25, the collagen in the skin has begun to slowly lose, and at this time, just moisturizing is not enough. In addition to preventing dry lines, you must also start to prevent fine lines caused by collagen loss.
4. Because it is oily skin, it does not need anti-aging
Oily skin is indeed less prone to fine lines, but it does not mean that your skin has not started to age. When you mistakenly think that your skin is oily enough and does not need to be taken care of, your skin has actually begun to age gradually. Maybe for you with oily skin, fine lines are not the first sign of aging, but you still need to use anti-aging products!
To correct you, high-nutrition skin care products do not mean high oil content. You can choose gel or gel-like essences. For example, the anti-aging skin care products listed below will not only make the skin feel It is more refreshing and comfortable, and the absorption effect is better.
2. Causes of aging
The biggest symptom of aging skin is wrinkles. There are three main causes of fine wrinkles: ultraviolet rays, dryness, and metabolic disorders of the skin that are naturally caused by aging.
These factors reduce the content of the skin's natural moisturizing factors and the lipid content between the skin is obviously insufficient, and the new metabolism slows down. As a result, the skin's cutin loses moisture and cannot be smoothly eliminated, resulting in wrinkles. The biggest factors in the formation of fine lines in the dermis are the aging of the dermis, structural changes in collagen and elastin, plus long-term sun exposure, excessive facial expressions or unnecessary weight loss leading to excessive short-term weight changes, etc., which will make you Wrinkles appear on your face, and aging has really set in.

2. Maintain a normal weight
Losing weight for a while and gaining weight for a while. Such continuous changes in weight will deprive the skin of its elasticity, resulting in loose and sagging skin.
3. Treat your skin gently
Do not pull your face hard. Use a cotton ball or soft towel to gently wash your face, and then pat it dry. Granular cleansers are often too harsh for many people and should be used sparingly. People with dry skin should not use scrub-like cleansers at all.
4. Prevent sun exposure
The worst damage to the skin is exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can damage skin cells and cause premature aging and skin cancer. Therefore, avoid exposure to the sun when the sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and limit outdoor activities to mornings and evenings.

Many people say that male aging starts from the prostate. It is common in clinical practice that many men are still strong but experience urinary discomfort such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, thin and weak urination lines, and incomplete urination. These may be aging alarms issued by the prostate. Just like the lumbar and cervical spine, the prostate will also undergo degenerative changes with age, but as long as it is taken care of carefully, the aging rate will slow down.

3. Aging sign three: very tired after sex
Research shows that the most active age group for men to have sex is 20 to 30 years old. At the age of 20, most men have good physical strength, recover quickly, and can have sex every day. After the age of 30, it may be reduced to two or three times a week, and after the age of 40, it may be reduced to once or twice a week.

As age increases, many male friends often complain that their memory is getting worse, and words are often on the lips. But I can't remember it. I put something in one place and forget it in a blink of an eye. Little do I know that this is a sign of brain aging. Many men have bad habits of drinking, smoking, and staying up late, which will accelerate the decline of memory. Studies have shown that middle-aged alcoholics will experience memory decline six years earlier than those who drink less; oxygen intake is reduced when smoking, and long-term lack of oxygen in the brain will damage memory.

Constipation is a common problem. Many male friends don’t take it seriously, but they don’t know that this is the beginning of intestinal aging. As people age, their intestinal peristalsis slows down, and the water in the intestines decreases, making them prone to constipation. In addition, many male friends are accustomed to sitting for long periods of time, seldom exercise, suffer from long-term mental stress, and have reduced intestinal muscle contractility, which makes them prone to constipation every now and then. A large amount of feces is blocked in the intestines, and toxins and garbage cannot be discharged in time. This not only leads to dark skin, acne, and bad breath, but also increases the risk of colorectal cancer. Data show that colorectal cancer has become the second most common cancer among men in Beijing, and it is getting younger.
Tips: In order to cope with the aging of the intestines, it is best for male friends to drink more boiled water to moisturize the intestines; they should also eat more whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables and other foods rich in dietary fiber; and defecate regularly every day. Massaging clockwise around the belly button from the right lower abdomen upwards and to the left can also stimulate intestinal vitality and delay aging.

Generally speaking, everyone loses 70 to 100 hairs every day, but hair loss continues for a period of time, and hair loss exceeds 100 hairs every day. 100 roots may be a sign of physical aging.
There are many reasons for hair loss, which are related to aging, genetic factors, nutritional deficiencies, bad emotions, greasy diet, frequent late nights, as well as endocrine and autoimmune diseases. Various bad lifestyles among them will accelerate the aging of the body and make male hair loss more and more common. sooner. The survey shows that 60% of the patients started to lose their hair before the age of 25, and 83.9% of the patients lost their hair before the age of 30.

If a male friend suddenly becomes sensitive, suspicious, and impatient, loses his temper when things go wrong, is always on fire, is full of anxiety and panic about the future, and often feels uneasy and lonely, it may be a mental illness. Symptoms of aging, especially after men enter menopause.
Tips: In the face of physical and mental changes, male friends must not bear it quietly by themselves.
