To preserve the beauty and youth of facial skin, you do not need to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness exceeds even modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before you rejuvenate the face with folk remedies, you need to familiarize yourself with some of the rules for their use, which will help you 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, skin inflammations and irritations await you.
- You should use ready-made home remedies immediately after preparation. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the finished product, you should 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 on the skin surface. If it contains dirt, their microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acneand others.
- When preparing masks, do not use metal kitchen utensils. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, 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 folk 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 methods of facial rejuvenation do not require large financial costs. Masks are made from different ingredients that are found in every home. So, let's get started.
Grandma's first recipe for wrinkles, which I would like to tell, helps to increase skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is the usual sour cream. And the thicker it is, the better. If you have a cream at home, you can use it too.
These dairy products contain a huge amount of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that are essential for the skin to prevent aging. Sour 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 so that they warm up to room temperature. Then the sour cream should be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Maxi residue should then be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandmother's recipe for facial rejuvenation that deserves respect. This is the application of aloe leaves with honey. The fleshy leaves of aloe 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 of these ingredients, you must first prepare the aloe leaves.
They should be wrapped in an impermeable towel and stored in the refrigerator for 10-14 days. They can then be used. The leaves may turn slightly black, you have nothing to worry about. Just trim the parts that have 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 remnants of the mask rinse with warm chamomile broth.
Multi-component masks for facial rejuvenation
There are multi-component grandmother's anti-wrinkle beauty recipes that are also very effective. For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe leaf juice - 1 teaspoon;
- raw egg yolk (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally ½ a teaspoon each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 teaspoon;
- honey - 1 teaspoon;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp
All these components should be well mixed with each other and the resulting mixture should be applied to the skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask with plain warm water.
Another equally effective grandmother's recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oat flakes;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- Wheat flour.
You need to make oatmeal flour. You can use a coffee grinder for this purpose. Mix oatmeal with 2 tablespoons cream. Allow the resulting mass to stand for a while to swell slightly. Then you can add egg yolk and 1 tbsp olive oil. If the mass turned out to be quite thick, it is not necessary to add wheat flour to it. If you have it liquid, then add flour to it "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. Then the mask can be washed off with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for anti-aging masks. They are all 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.
