To maintain the beauty and youth of your facial skin, you don't even have to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies gives not the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness exceeds even the most popular brands of modern cosmetics.
And before rejuvenating your face with folk remedies, you need to familiarize yourself with some of the rules of their use, which will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Home Update Basics
Folk recipes are only effective for rejuvenation if used properly.
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.
- Use ready-made home remedies immediately after preparation. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap before applying the prepared product. The active ingredients that make up the finished product penetrate deep into the epidermis almost immediately through the pores and "collect" everything on the skin's surface along the way. If it contains dirt, its microparticles enter the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, pimples.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils when making masks. Upon contact with metal and oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, resulting in reduced shelf life and reduced effectiveness.
These are simple rules that make you follow popular skin rejuvenation products. Now that you know how to use your grandmother's beauty techniques, let's talk about preparing them.
Recipes for Aging Masks
Traditional face rejuvenation methods do not require large financial costs. Masks are made of different ingredients found in every house. So, let's get started.
Grandma's first anti-wrinkle recipe, which I would like to tell you, helps to increase skin tone, moisturize and whiten. And this is the usual sour cream. And the fatter it is, the better. If you have cream at home, you can also use it.
These dairy products contain huge amounts of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, which are necessary for the skin to prevent aging. Sour cream or cream can be used separately. They should be removed from the refrigerator and placed on a table for at least half an hour to warm to room temperature. The sour cream should then be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then the remnants of the maxi should be removed with a cotton swab soaked in warm milk.
Another grandmother's face rejuvenation recipe that deserves respect. It is an application of aloe vera leaves with honey. Aloe vera meat leaves contain substances that promote 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 must first prepare aloe vera leaves.
They should be wrapped in an airtight cloth and stored in the refrigerator for 10 to 14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves may turn a little black, nothing to worry about. Just cut off the parts that are darkened. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix 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-component face rejuvenation masks
There are grandmother's multi-component anti-wrinkle beauty recipes that are also very effective.
For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe vera leaf juice - 1 teaspoon;
- raw egg yolk (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally ½ tsp.
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 teaspoon;
- honey - 1 teaspoon;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 teaspoon
All these components should be mixed thoroughly and the resulting mixture applied to the skin for about 15-20 minutes. The mask can be washed with clean warm water.
Other equally effective grandmother's wrinkle recipes require 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 oatmeal with 2 tbsp. l. cream. Allow the resulting mass to stand for a while so that it swells slightly. You can then add egg yolk and 1 tablespoon. l. olive oil. If the mass is quite thick, you do not need to add wheat flour. If you get it liquid, then add flour "with an eye" to 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 work for 30 minutes. The mask can then be washed with warm milk or clean water.There are other recipes for making anti-aging masks. They are all good in their own way, but effective only if used regularly and for a long time. Remember that folk remedies for face rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
