To maintain the beauty and youth of facial skin, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Renewal with folk remedies does not give the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness exceeds even the modern cosmetics of well-known brands.
And before you perform facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you should get acquainted with some of the rules of their use, which will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules for home rejuvenation
Popular recipes for rejuvenation are effective only if properly implemented. The word "correct" means that the following rules are met:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise inflammation and irritation of the skin awaits you.
- You should use ready-made home remedies as soon as they are prepared. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, you should thoroughly wash your face using antibacterial soap. The active components that make up the prepared product almost immediately penetrate deep into the epidermis through the pores and "collect along the way" everything that is on the surface of the skin. If it contains impurities, their microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- When preparing masks, do not use metal utensils. After contact with the metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, as a result of which the lifespan of the prepared mask is reduced and its effectiveness is reduced.
These are the simple rules that require you to follow the popular skin rejuvenation remedies. Now that you know how to use grandma's beauty techniques, let's talk about how to prepare them.
Recipes for anti-aging masks
Traditional methods of facial rejuvenation do not require strong financial costs. Masks are made from a variety of ingredients found in every home. So let’s get started.
Grandma's first recipe for wrinkles, which I would like to show, helps increase skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is common sour cream. And the thicker it is, 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, which are essential for the skin to prevent aging. Yogurt or cream can be used separately. They should be removed from the refrigerator and placed on the table for at least half an hour in order to warm up to room temperature. After that, the yogurt should be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Maxi residues should then be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandma 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. 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 a waterproof cloth and placed in the refrigerator for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves may turn slightly black, there is nothing to worry about. Just cut out the parts that have darkened. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix with honey in equal proportions. Apply the resulting mass on the face for 15 minutes and after the remnants of the mask, rinse with warm chamomile juice.
Multi-component masks for facial rejuvenation
There are anti-wrinkle beauty recipes with many grandma ingredients that are also very effective. For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe leaf juice - 1 tablespoon;
- raw egg yolk (if skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally ½ tablespoons each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tablespoon;
- honey - 1 tablespoon;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 tablespoon
All these ingredients should be thoroughly mixed with each other and the resulting mixture should be applied to the facial skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask with plain warm water.
Another equally effective recipe for grandma's wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oat flakes;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- Wheat flour.
You need to make flour from oats. For these purposes, you can use a coffee grinder. Mix oatmeal with 2 tablespoons. l. cream. Let the mixture stand for a while so that it swells a little. After that, you can add the egg yolk and 1 tbsp. l. olive oil. If the mass turned out to be quite thick, you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If you turned out to be liquid, then add flour to it "by eye". The consistency of the mask should be similar to sour cream.
The resulting mixture is applied to the skin of the face and left to act for 30 minutes. After that 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 effective only if used regularly and for a long time. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
