To preserve beauty and youth in the skin of the face, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Renovation with folk remedies does not give the worst results and sometimes their effectiveness exceeds even modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before you perform facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you need to learn some rules about their use, which will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Home Renewal Principles
Renewal recipes are only effective if used correctly.
The word "correct" means that the following rules are met:
- All ingredients must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and irritation of the skin awaits you.
- Use ready-made home remedies immediately after preparation. Maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap before using the product. The active ingredients consisting of a ready-made product penetrate almost immediately deep into the epidermis through the pores and "collect along the way" everything that is on the surface of the skin. If it contains impurities, their particles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils when preparing masks. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize rapidly and deteriorate as a result of which the shelf life of the synthetic mask decreases and its activity decreases.
These are the simple rules that require you to start using people to rejuvenate your skin. Now that you know how to use Grandma's beauty techniques, let's talk about how to prepare them.
Recipes for Aging Masks
Traditional facial rejuvenation methods do not require large financial costs. Masks are made from a variety of ingredients found in every home. So let's get started.
The first grandmother's recipe for wrinkles, which I would like to say, helps to increase skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is a regular sour cream. And the fatter it is, the better. If you have cream at home, you can use it too.
These dairy products contain large amounts of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that are essential for the skin to prevent aging. Sour cream or whipped cream can be used alone. They should be taken out of the fridge and put on the table for at least half an hour to warm to room temperature. After that, apply sour cream to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Residues of maxi should then be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
A recipe for renewing a grandmother's face that deserves respect. This is the application of aloe leaves with honey. Meaty leaves aloe contain substances that promote skin rejuvenation and increase collagen production. And honey relieves inflammation and has an antiseptic effect on the skin. But before you start preparing a mask from these ingredients, you must prepare the aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in an impermeable cloth and refrigerated for 10-14 days. Then you can use them. The leaves can turn pitch black, there is nothing to worry about. Just cut off the parts that are dark. 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 rinse the remnants of the mask with warm chamomile broth.
Multi-faceted face renewal masks
There are Grandma's multi-ingredient beauty recipes that are also very effective.
For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolk (if your skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally hver tsp each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 tsp;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp
All these ingredients must be mixed thoroughly and apply the mixture formed on the skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask off with plain warm water.
Another equally effective wrinkle formula requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oatmeal;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- wheat.
Oatmeal is used to make flour. A coffee grinder can be used for this purpose. Mix oatmeal with 2 tbsp. l. cream. Let the resulting mass stand for a while so that it swells slightly. After that you can add egg yolks and 1 tbsp. l. olive oil. If the mass is quite thick, you do not need to add flour to it. If you get it hydrated, add flour "with your eyes". 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 off with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for making aging masks. They are all good in their own way, but only work if used regularly and for a long time. Remember that facial rejuvenation medications work gradually but give lasting results.
