To preserve 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 the worst results, and sometimes its effectiveness exceeds even modern cosmetics from popular brands.
And before doing facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you should familiarize yourself with some rules for their use, which will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules of rejuvenation at home
Popular recipes for rejuvenation are only effective if applied correctly.
The word "correct" means that the following rules are met:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and irritation of the skin await.
- Use home remedies prepared immediately after preparation. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap. The active ingredients that make up the prepared product almost instantly penetrate deep into the epidermis through the pores and "collect on the way" everything on the surface of the skin. If it contains dirt, its microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne.
- Do not use metal cookware when preparing masks. 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.
Recipes for anti-aging masks
Traditional facial rejuvenation methods do not require high 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 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 warm to room temperature. After that, sour cream should be applied to 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 facial rejuvenation recipe that deserves respect. This is the application of aloe leaves with honey. The fleshy leaves of aloe contain substances that contribute to the regeneration of the skin and increase the synthesis of collagen. And honey relieves inflammation and has an antiseptic effect on the skin. But before you start preparing a mask from these ingredients, you should prepare the aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in a waterproof cloth 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 darkened parts. 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 consisting 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 teaspoon;
- honey - 1 tsp;
- Pharmacy glycerin - 1 teaspoon
All these components should be mixed well and the resulting mixture should be applied to the skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask off with warm water.
Another equally effective grandmother's recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oats;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- wheat flour.
Oats are used to make flour. For these purposes, you can use a coffee grinder. Mix the oatmeal with 2 tablespoons. l. cream. Let the resulting dough rest for a while so that it swells slightly. After that, you can add egg yolk and 1 tablespoon. l. olive oil. If the dough is thick enough, you don't need to add wheat flour to it. If you get it liquid, add flour "by eye". The consistency of the mask should be similar to sour cream.
The resulting mixture should be applied to the facial skin and left on for 30 minutes, after that, the mask can be washed with warm milk or running water.
There are other recipes to make 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.
