To maintain the beauty and youthfulness of facial skin, there is no need to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give the worst results, and sometimes its effectiveness exceeds the modern cosmetics of well-known brands.
And before you do facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you need to familiarize yourself with some rules of its use, which will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules of home rejuvenation
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are only effective if used properly.
The word "correct" means that the following rules are met:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and skin irritation await you.
- Use ready-made home remedies as soon as they are ready. Maximum lifespan is 3 hours.
- Before using the product provided, wash your face with antibacterial soap. The active ingredients that make up the finished product almost instantly penetrate into the epidermis through the pores and "collect along the way" all that is on the surface of the skin. If they contain dirt, their microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils when preparing masks. After contact with the metal and exposure to oxygen, the product begins to oxidize rapidly and deteriorate, resulting in a reduced shelf life of the prepared mask and its effectiveness.
These are simple rules that require you to follow natural treatment methods for skin rejuvenation. Now that you know how to use grandma's beauty techniques, let's talk about how to prepare it.
Recipes for anti-aging masks
Traditional facial rejuvenation methods do not require high financial costs. Masks are made from a variety of materials available in every home. So let's get started.
Grandma's first recipe for wrinkles, which I want to tell you about, helps improve skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is a regular 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, which are important for the skin to prevent aging. Sour cream or cream can be used alone. They should be taken out of the refrigerator and placed on the table for at least half an hour to heat to room temperature. After that, the sour cream should be applied on the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then the remnants of the maxi should be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Other grandmothers' face rejuvenation recipes are worth respecting. This is the use of aloe leaves with honey. Aloe vera leaves contain nutrients 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 this ingredient, you must first prepare the aloe vera leaves.
They should be wrapped in a non-sealing cloth and refrigerated for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves can be a little black, there is nothing to worry about. Just cut the dark colored part. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix with honey in equal amounts. Apply the resulting mixture on the face for 15 minutes, and after the rest of the mask, rinse with warm chamomile broth.
Multi-component mask for facial rejuvenation
There are anti-wrinkle beauty recipes of various grandmother ingredients that are also very effective.
For example, a rejuvenation mask consisting of:
- aloe leaf juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolk (if oily skin, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally ½ sdt each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 tsp;
- pharmaceutical glycerin - 1 tsp
All these components must be thoroughly mixed and the resulting mixture should be rubbed on the skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask with warm water.
Another equally effective grandmother recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oatmeal;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- wheat flour.
Oatmeal is used to make flour. For this purpose, you can use a coffee grinder. Mix oat flour with 2 tbsp. l. cream. Let the resulting mass briefly swell slightly. After that, you can add egg yolks and 1 tbsp. l. olive oil. If the mass is thick enough, you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If you get it melted, then add flour to it "with eyes". The consistency of the mask must be similar to sour cream.
The resulting mixture should be rubbed on the skin of the face and left to act for 30 minutes. After that, the mask can be washed with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for making anti-aging masks. Everything is good in their own way, but effective only if it is used regularly and for the long term. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but provide lasting results.
