To maintain the beauty and youthfulness of facial skin, 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 exceeds even the modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before you do facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you should familiarize yourself with some of the rules of their use, which will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules for home rejuvenation
Folk remedies for rejuvenation are effective only if applied correctly. The word "correct" means that the following rules are met:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and skin irritation await you.
- You should use ready-made home remedies immediately after their preparation. The maximum lifespan 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 penetrate almost immediately deep into the skin through the pores and "collect in the process" what is on the surface of the skin. If it contains dirt, its microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- When preparing masks, do not use metal kitchen utensils. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, reducing the lifespan of the prepared mask and reducing its effectiveness.
These are the simple rules that require you to follow folk remedies for skin rejuvenation. Now that you know how to use grandma's beauty techniques, let's talk about how to prepare them.
Anti-aging mask recipes
Traditional methods of facial rejuvenation do not require strong financial costs. Masks are made from a variety of ingredients found in every home. Well, let's get started.
Grandma's first wrinkle recipe, I would like to say, helps increase skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is the usual cream. And the thicker it is, the better. If you have cream at home, you can use it too.
These dairy products contain a huge amount of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, which are essential for preventing skin aging. 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 to room temperature. After that, the sour cream should be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Next, the maxi residue must be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandmother's recipe for a refreshing face that deserves respect. This is the application of aloe leaves with honey. The fleshy leaves of aloe contain substances that help regenerate the skin and increase collagen synthesis. And 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 the aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in an impermeable cloth and kept in the refrigerator for 10-14 days. They can then be used. The leaves may turn slightly black, there is nothing to worry about. Just cut the parts that are dark. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix it with honey in equal proportions. Apply the resulting mixture on the face for 15 minutes and after the remnants of the mask, rinse with warm chamomile broth.
Multi-ingredient masks for facial rejuvenation
There are grandmother's multi-ingredient beauty recipes that are also very effective. For example, a refreshing mask consisting of:
- aloe leaf juice - 1 tsp.
- raw egg yolk (if the skin is oily, use protein).
- oil solutions A and E - literally ½ teaspoon each.
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp.
- honey - 1 teaspoon?
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp
All these ingredients should be mixed well together and the resulting mixture should be applied to the skin of the face for about 15-20 minutes. You can rinse 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;
- Yolk;
- Wheat flour.
You need to make oatmeal. For these purposes, you can use a coffee grinder. Mix the oatmeal with 2 tbsp large. cream. Allow the resulting mass to stand for a while so that it swells slightly. After that, you can add egg yolk and 1 tbsp large. olive oil. If the mass turned out to be thick enough, you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If you have found it wet, then add flour to it "by eye". 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. After that, the mask can be rinsed with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for making anti-aging masks. Everything is fine in its 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.
