Many of us spend our entire lives searching for the fountain of eternal youth. Of course, an anti-aging pill has not yet been created, but there are substances called antioxidants that slow down the oxidation (and therefore aging) process of the skin.
It is necessary to take care of facial skin at any age. Some women try to find a solution in masks that they make themselves. Practice shows that if you choose the right components, you can get amazing results. Some methods allow you to get rid of wrinkles in a short time.
Home remedies always bring no less benefits than professional ones, and at the same time, you probably know what specific ingredients are included in their composition and how beneficial they are for the body.
Common early causes of facial wrinkles.
- In some areas of the face, facial folds appear, which are often called rays of happiness. They can be seen with the naked eye, they like to settle around the eyes, since here the skin has practically no muscle layer or fat layer.
- Women do not like to admit their problems, therefore, when vision problems appear, many continue to stubbornly hide them, do not wear glasses and squint. By hiding a flaw, a bunch of small wrinkles will soon appear. Don't hesitate to wear glasses; Today you can choose quite stylish frames and look very presentable and elegant.
- On sunny days, protect your eyes with dark glasses to avoid wrinkles and test the strength of your skin.
- When sleeping, it is best to lie on your back to avoid wrinkles and dents.
- If you constantly follow diets, you should know that when excess fat is lost, muscle mass also disappears, which causes the appearance of wrinkles. To reduce the negative effects of restricting foods, maximize your diet with plenty of water and protein foods.
- It is important to choose the right cosmetics and recipes for home care! At any age it is important to use high-quality creams, as well as natural-based masks.
- Always monitor your health, after the age of 40, any malfunction in the functioning of internal organs immediately affects the state of the dermis: carious teeth, genitourinary infections, tonsillitis, intestinal infections, dysbacteriosis, etc.
- Before it's too late, give up bad habits. By looking at a woman's face, you can unequivocally determine that she is addicted to nicotine and alcohol.
- Remember! Any overload, such as lack of sleep, endless nervous stress, fatigue also affects our appearance.
When and who should use it?
Homemade anti-wrinkle masks are considered a universal anti-aging remedy. They are not limited by age criteria: nature will help both young and mature skin.
Natural compositions serve as prevention against the first manifestations of wilting. In this case, daily oatmeal masks with yogurt are perfect.
Mature skin will also benefit from a cocktail of nutrients. It will hydrate the dermis and combat fine wrinkles.
Any cosmetic product should be chosen taking into account the characteristics of a specific skin type. Homemade compositions are no exception.
What are the benefits of homemade anti-wrinkle face masks?
In order not to overestimate anti-wrinkle masks, consider the mechanism of their effect on the skin. At least then you'll know exactly what to expect from them and won't expect a miracle. If you start using them between 50 and 60 years old, it is unlikely that you will be able to achieve any specific effects.
Newly appeared folds can be straightened, and the general condition of the skin will improve. However, deep wrinkles still do not disappear, although they may become less defined.
So, if you do anti-wrinkle masks regularly, you can expect the following effect:
- subcutaneous metabolism will improve; consequently, the cells will receive the necessary components in sufficient quantities, which will improve the condition of the epidermis;
- blood circulation is normalized, thanks to which oxygen saturates the cells, promoting their regeneration over time;
- your complexion will become young, natural, beautiful and healthy, which will significantly improve the appearance of even the dullest skin;
- and most importantly: the small wrinkles typical of age and the face will be softened, disappearing completely;
- Deep age-related wrinkles are unlikely to be eliminated with ordinary masks, but they will become much less noticeable and will not be as pronounced;
- Hyaluronic acid and collagen fibers, the number of which decreases with age, are replenished, making the skin smoother, more elastic and firm.
Rules for applying an anti-wrinkle mask to the face.
Important! Before using a home remedy made with natural ingredients, it is worth checking the reaction of the dermis. A small amount of the prepared composition is applied to a small area of the brush. If you are not allergic, the product can be used on the face.
Homemade masks have their own application and manufacturing characteristics. When using a homemade mask, you must follow certain recommendations:
- Before application, the skin must be cleansed using a suitable cleanser according to the type of dermis. It is permissible to steam the skin over a steam bath or use a scrub. The removal of contaminants promotes rapid access of beneficial substances to all subcutaneous layers.
- The mixture is distributed over the face immediately after cleansing.
- Apply along massage lines.
- The components of the mask need time to be absorbed. For this reason, it is recommended to use the product before going to bed.
- While the mask is on the skin, it is necessary to remain calm and limit movements and facial expressions.
- It is not necessary to keep it for more than half an hour.
- Wash with warm water only. Gelatin or starch mixtures must be removed very carefully; It is important not to damage the skin.
- After rinsing, you need to apply a cream suitable for your skin type.
- It is not necessary to apply any mask, even natural ones, very frequently. If you do not follow this rule, you can slow down the metabolic processes of the dermis.
Important! Any, even a very effective anti-wrinkle mask prepared at home, will lose its beneficial properties when used again. The "expiration date" of natural components expires in about an hour and a second application will simply be useless.
