To preserve the beauty and youth of facial skin, it is not necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies gives not the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness exceeds even the modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before you rejuvenate the face with folk remedies, you need to know some 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 that the following rules are met:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, skin inflammations and irritations await you.
- Use ready-made home remedies immediately after preparation. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the finished 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" everything on the surface of the skin along the way. If it contains dirt, their microparticles 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 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.
My grandmother'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 this as well.
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 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. Then you should apply sour cream on the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Maxi residue should then be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another recipe for rejuvenating the face of a grandmother who 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 from these ingredients, you need to prepare aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in an impermeable towel and stored in the refrigerator for 10-14 days. Then they can 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 leaves of aloe 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 face rejuvenation masks
There are beauty recipes against wrinkles with many ingredients 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 tsp. ;
- honey - 1 tsp. ;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp.
All these components should be well mixed together 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:
- oatmeal;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- wheat flour.
Oatmeal is used to make flour. You can use a coffee grinder for this purpose. Mix the oatmeal with 2 tablespoons of cream. Leave the resulting mass to stand for a while so that it swells slightly. Then you can add egg yolk and 1 tbsp. l. olive oil. If the mass is quite thick, you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If you get it liquid, 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 with warm milk or plain water.There are other recipes for making 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.
