To preserve the beauty and youth of the skin of the face, it is not necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give the worst results, and sometimes its effectiveness surpasses even modern cosmetics from popular brands.
And before doing facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you should familiarize yourself with some of the rules for their use, which will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules for rejuvenation at home
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are effective only if they are applied correctly. The word "correct" means compliance with the following rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and irritation of the skin awaits.
- You should use ready-made home remedies immediately after they are prepared. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, you should wash your face thoroughly with an antibacterial soap. The active components that make up the prepared product penetrate almost instantly into the epidermis through the pores and "collect on the way" everything that 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 rapidly oxidize and deteriorate, as a result of which the shelf life of the prepared mask decreases and its effectiveness decreases.
These are the simple rules that require you to follow home 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 facial rejuvenation methods do not require heavy financial costs. The masks are made from a variety of ingredients found in every home. Let's start.
Grandma's first recipe for wrinkles, which I would like to tell, helps increase skin tone, hydration and whitening. 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 a large amount of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, which 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 reach room temperature. After that, sour cream should be applied on the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then the remains of the maxi should be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandmother's 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 must first prepare the aloe leaves.
They should be wrapped in a waterproof fabric and refrigerated 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 are darkened. 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-component masks for facial rejuvenation
There are grandma's multi-ingredient anti-wrinkle beauty recipes that are also very effective. For example, a rejuvenating mask composed 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 teaspoon
All these components should be mixed well with each other and the resulting mixture should be applied to the skin of the face for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask with warm water.
Another equally effective grandmother's recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oatmeal;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- bud;
- Wheat flour.
You need to make oatmeal. For these purposes, you can use a coffee grinder. Mix the oatmeal with 2 tablespoons. I cream. Let the resulting dough rest for a while so that it puffs up a bit. After that, you can add the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon. I olive oil. If the dough turned out to be quite thick, you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If it turned out to be liquid, 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 on for 30 minutes, after that, the mask can be washed with warm milk or running 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 home remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give long-lasting results.
