To preserve the beauty and youth of the skin of the face, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness surpasses even modern cosmetics of popular brands.
Before you do facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you need to familiarize yourself with some rules of use that will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules for rejuvenation at home
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are effective only when applied correctly. The word "correct" means the following rules:
- All materials used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and irritation on the skin await you.
- Ready-made home remedies should be used immediately after preparation. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, you should wash your face thoroughly using antibacterial soap. The active ingredients that make up the prepared product almost instantly penetrate deep into the epidermis through the pores and "collect along the way" everything on the surface of the skin. If it contains dirt, its microparticles penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils while preparing masks. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, as a result of which the shelf life of the prepared mask decreases and its effectiveness decreases.
These are simple rules that require you to apply folk remedies for skin rejuvenation. Now that you've learned how to use grandma's beauty techniques, let's talk about how to prepare them.
anti aging mask recipes
Traditional facial rejuvenation methods do not require strong financial costs. Masks are made from a variety of materials found in every home. So let's get started.
The first grandmother's wrinkle recipe I want to tell you helps to improve skin tone, moisturize and whiten. And this is the usual sour cream. And the fatter the better. If you have cream at home, you can use it too.
These dairy products contain a large amount of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids necessary to prevent skin aging. Sour cream or cream can be used alone. They should be removed from the refrigerator and placed on the table for at least half an hour to warm up to room temperature. After that, sour cream should be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then the remnants of the maxi should be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandmother's facial rejuvenation recipe that deserves respect. This is the application of aloe leaves with honey. The fleshy leaves of aloe contain substances that contribute to the regeneration of the skin and increase the synthesis of collagen. Honey relieves inflammation and has an antiseptic effect on the skin. But before you start preparing a mask from these ingredients, you need to prepare aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in an impermeable cloth and stored in the refrigerator for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves may turn a little black, nothing to worry about. Cut only the darkened parts. Squeeze the juice of aloe leaves and mix it with honey in equal proportions. Apply the resulting mixture to the face for 15 minutes, and after the remnants of the mask, rinse with warm chamomile water.
Multicomponent masks for facial rejuvenation
Grandma has multi-ingredient anti-wrinkle beauty recipes that are also very effective. For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe leaf juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolk (use protein if the skin is oily);
- oil solutions A and E - literally ½ teaspoon each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 tsp;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 teaspoon
All these components should be thoroughly mixed with each other and the resulting mixture should be applied to the skin of the face for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash off the mask with plain warm water.
Another equally effective grandmother's recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oat flakes;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- Wheat flour.
From oatmeal you need to make flour. You can use a coffee grinder for these purposes. Mix oat flour with 2 tbsp. I. cream. Leave for a while so that the resulting mass swells a little. After that, you can add egg yolk and 1 tbsp. I. olive oil. If the mass turned out to be quite thick, then you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If it turned out to be liquid, add flour "by eye" to it. The consistency of the mask should be similar to sour cream.
The resulting mixture should be applied to the skin of the face and left to act for 30 minutes. Then the mask can be washed off with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for making anti-aging masks. All of them are good in their own way, but only effective if used regularly and for a long time. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
