To preserve the beauty and youthfulness 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 their effectiveness surpasses even modern cosmetics from popular brands.
And before carrying out facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you need to familiarize yourself with some of the rules of use, which will help to avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules for rejuvenation at home
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are effective only if applied correctly. The word "correct" means compliance with the following rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and skin irritation await you.
- You need to use ready-made home remedies immediately after they are prepared. The maximum lifespan is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, you need to wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap. The active components that make up the prepared product almost instantly penetrate deep into the epidermis through the pores and "collect along 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 the masks, do not use metal kitchen utensils. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, which causes the life of the prepared mask to decrease and its effectiveness to decrease.
These are the simple rules that require you to follow folk 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 methods of facial rejuvenation do not require high financial costs. Masks are made from a variety of ingredients found in every home. So let's start.
First grandma's recipe for wrinkles I'd like to share helps boost skin tone, hydration, and lightening. And this is the usual sour cream. And the fatter, the better. If you have cream at home, you can use it too.
These dairy products contain a huge 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 taken out of the fridge and placed on the table for at least half an hour to warm up to room temperature. After that, the sour cream should be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then the remains of the maxi must be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandma's recipe for facial rejuvenation that deserves respect. This is the application of aloe leaves with honey. Fleshy aloe leaves 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 with these ingredients, you should prepare aloe leaves in advance.
They need to 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 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 remains of the mask, rinse with warm chamomile broth.
Multi-component masks for facial rejuvenation
There are anti-wrinkle beauty recipes with various ingredients from grandma that are also very effective. For example, a rejuvenating mask composed of:
- aloe leaf juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolk (if your skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally ½ tsp each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 tsp;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp
All these components must be well mixed with each other and the resulting mixture must be applied to the skin of the face for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask off with warm water.
Another equally effective granny recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oat flakes;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- Flour.
You need to make oatmeal. For these purposes, you can use a coffee grinder. Mix the oatmeal with 2 tbsp. I. cream. Let the resulting dough rest for a while so that it swells slightly. After that, you can add egg yolk and 1 tbsp. I. olive oil. If the dough turned out quite thick, you don't need to add wheat flour to it. If you have to be liquid, add flour "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 to act for 30 minutes. After that, the mask can be washed off with warm milk or plain 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 remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
