To maintain the beauty and youth of the facial skin, it is not necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give them the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness surpasses even modern popular brand cosmetics.
And before you rejuvenate your face with folk remedies, you need to read some of their terms of use that will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules for home renovation
Reconstruction recipes are only effective if used properly. The word "correct" means that the following conditions are met:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and irritation of the skin awaits you.
- You should use ready-made home remedies immediately after preparation. The maximum storage time is 3 hours.
- Wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap before applying the reconstituted product. The active ingredients that make up the finished product penetrate deep into the epidermis almost instantly through the pores and "collect" everything on the skin's surface. If there is dirt in it, its microparticles will get into the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne, and so on.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils when making masks. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, resulting in reduced shelf life and reduced effectiveness.
These are simple rules that require you to follow popular remedies for skin rejuvenation. Now that you know how to use your grandmother's beauty techniques, let's talk about how to prepare them.
Anti-aging mask recipes
Traditional face restoration methods do not require high financial costs. The masks are made of different ingredients found in every house. So, let's get started.
The first grandmother's wrinkle recipe I want to tell you about helps to increase skin tone, moisturize and whiten. And this is the usual sour cream. And the thicker the better. If you have a cream at home, you can also use it.
These dairy products contain huge amounts of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that are essential for the skin to prevent 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 allow them to reach room temperature. The sour cream should then be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. The remnants of the maxi should then be removed with a cotton swab soaked in warm milk.
Another grandmother's recipe for facial rejuvenation that deserves respect. This is the application of aloe vera leaves with honey. Aloe vera leaves contain substances that promote skin regeneration and increase collagen synthesis. And honey reduces inflammation and has an antiseptic effect on the skin. But before you start making a mask from these ingredients, you must first prepare aloe vera leaves.
They need to be wrapped in an airtight cloth and placed in the refrigerator for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The pages may turn a little black, nothing to worry about. Just cut off the parts that are darkened. Squeeze the juice from the aloe vera leaves and mix it with the 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-component masks for face rejuvenation
There are grandmother's multi-component beauty recipes for wrinkles that are also very effective. For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe vera leaf juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolk (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally ēj teaspoons each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 tsp;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp
All these ingredients should be thoroughly mixed together and the resulting mixture should be applied to the face for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask with a simple warm water.
Another equally effective grandmother's wrinkle recipe requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oat flakes;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- yolk;
- Wheat flour.
Flour must be made from oatmeal. You can use a coffee grinder for this purpose. Oatmeal mixed with 2 tbsp. k. l. cream. Allow the resulting mass to stand for a while so that it swells slightly. Then you can add egg yolks and 1 tbsp. k. l. olive oil. If the mass turned out to be quite thick, it is not necessary to add wheat flour. If it turned out to be liquid, add flour "with an 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 allowed to act for 30 minutes. The mask can then be washed with warm milk or clean 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 facial remedies work gradually but give lasting results.
