There is no need to buy expensive creams and masks to preserve the beauty and youth of the facial skin. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give the worst results, and their effectiveness sometimes exceeds even modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before you apply facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you need to learn some rules that will help you avoid future skin problems.
Basic rules of home rejuvenation
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are effective only when applied correctly.
The word "correct" means the following rules are met:
- All materials used must be fresh. Otherwise, skin inflammation and irritation await you.
- Use ready-made home remedies right after preparation. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, wash your face thoroughly with 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 skin surface. If it contains dirt, its microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne.
- Do not use metal utensils when preparing masks. When it comes into contact with metal and is exposed to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, as a result, the shelf life of the prepared mask decreases and its effectiveness decreases.
These are simple rules that require you to follow folk remedies for skin rejuvenation. Now that you know how to use your grandma's beauty techniques, let's talk about how to prepare them.
Recipes for anti-aging masks
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 recipe of the first grandmother for wrinkles helps to increase skin tone, moisturize and whiten. And this is normal sour cream. And the fatter the better. If you have cream at home, you can use it too.
These dairy products contain large amounts of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that are essential to prevent skin aging. Sour cream or cream can be used alone. It should be taken out of the refrigerator and put on the table for at least half an hour to warm to room temperature. After that, sour cream should be rubbed into the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then remove the maxi residue with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandma's recipe for facial rejuvenation that deserves respect. This is the application of aloe leaves with honey. The fleshy leaves of Aloe contain substances that contribute to skin regeneration and increase collagen synthesis. Honey relieves inflammation and has an antiseptic effect on the skin. However, before you start making masks from these ingredients, you should prepare the aloe leaves in advance.
It should be wrapped in an impermeable cloth and stored in the refrigerator for 10-14 days. They can be used later. The leaves may darken a little, nothing to worry about. Cut only the dark parts. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix it with honey in equal proportions. Apply the resulting mixture on your face for 15 minutes and rinse off with warm chamomile water after the remnants of the mask.
Multi-component masks for facial rejuvenation
Grandma's multi-component anti-wrinkle beauty recipes are also very effective.
For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe leaf juice - 1 teaspoon;
- raw egg yolk (use protein if skin is oily);
- oil solutions A and E - literally ½ tsp;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 teaspoon;
- honey - 1 teaspoon;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 teaspoon
All these ingredients should be mixed thoroughly and the resulting mixture should be applied to the skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask off with plain warm water.
Another equally effective grandma's recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oatmeal;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- wheat flour.
Oatmeal is used to make flour. You can use a coffee grinder for these purposes. Mix the oatmeal with 2 tablespoons. l. cream. Leave for a while so that the resulting mass swells slightly. After that, you can add egg yolk and 1 tablespoon. l. olive oil. If the mass is quite thick, you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If you make it liquid, add flour "by eye" on 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 are effective only when used regularly and for a long time. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
