To preserve the beauty and youthfulness of facial skin, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation by folk means does not give the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness surpasses even modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before you rejuvenate your face with folk remedies, you need to know some of the rules for using them to help prevent skin problems in the future.
Basic rules for home rejuvenation
Folk rejuvenation recipes are effective only if properly applied. The word "correct" means compliance with the following rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, skin inflammation and irritation await you.
- You should use ready-made home remedies immediately after preparation. The maximum expiration date is 3 hours.
- Before applying the finished product, you must wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap. The active ingredients that make up the finished product almost instantly penetrate deep into the epidermis through the pores and "along the way" collect everything on the skin's surface. If it contains dirt, its microparticles will penetrate the skin.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils when preparing masks. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and degrade rapidly, reducing the shelf life of the prepared mask and reducing its effectiveness.
These are simple rules that follow folk skin rejuvenation measures. 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 significant financial costs. The masks are made from a variety of ingredients found in every home. Let's start.
Grandma’s first anti-wrinkle recipe I’d like to tell you helps increase skin tone, moisturize and whiten. And this is the usual sour cream. And the fatter it is, the better. If you have a cream at home, you can use it too.
These dairy products contain huge amounts of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that are necessary for the skin to prevent aging. Cream or sour 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, the skin should be applied with sour cream for about 25-40 minutes. The remaining residue should then be removed with a cotton swab soaked in warm milk.
Another respectable grandmother’s recipe for facial rejuvenation. It is an application of aloe leaves with honey. The 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 making a mask from these ingredients, you need to prepare aloe vera leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in impermeable fabric and stored in the refrigerator for 10-14 days. They can then be used. The leaves may be slightly blackened, nothing to worry about. Just cut off the darkened parts. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix with the honey in equal parts. 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 face rejuvenation
There are several ingredients in Grandma’s anti-wrinkle recipes that are also very effective. For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe vera juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolk (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally after a teaspoon;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 teaspoon;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp
All these components should be thoroughly mixed with each other and apply the resulting mixture on the facial skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask with plain warm water.
Another no less effective grandmother’s anti-wrinkle recipe requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oatmeal;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- Wheat flour.
Flour needs to be made from oatmeal. You can use a coffee grinder for these purposes. Mix oatmeal with 2 tbsp. l. cream. Allow the resulting mass to stand a little to swell slightly. After that you can put the egg yolk and 1 a. š. l. olive oil. If the mass turned out to be quite thick, it is not necessary to add wheat flour. If you get liquid, then add flour "out of sight. " 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 which the mask can be washed off with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for making anti-aging masks. They are all good in their own way, but only effective if used regularly and for a long time. Remember that folk facial rejuvenation measures work gradually but give long lasting results.
