To maintain the beauty and youth of facial skin, it is not necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give the worst results and sometimes their effectiveness exceeds even the modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before you rejuvenate your face with folk remedies, you should know some rules of their use, which will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules of home rejuvenation
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are effective only if used properly. The word "correct" means following these rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and irritation of the skin awaits you.
- You should use ready-made home remedies as soon as they are prepared. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before using the prepared product you need to thoroughly wash your face using antibacterial soap. The active ingredients that make up the finished product reach the epidermis almost instantly through deep pores and "collect along the way" everything that is on the surface of the skin. If it contains dirt, their microparticles will penetrate the skin, resulting in redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils when preparing masks. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and decompose rapidly, reducing the shelf life of the prepared mask and reducing its effectiveness.
These are the simple rules that require the protection of 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 strong financial costs. Masks are made from a variety of ingredients that are found in every home. So, let's get started.
The first grandmother's recipe for wrinkles that I want to tell you about helps increase skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is ordinary sour cream. And the fatter it is, the better. If you have a cream at home, you can use it.
These dairy products contain large amounts of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that are essential for the skin to prevent aging. Sour cream or cream can be used independently. They should be taken out of the refrigerator and placed on the table for at least half an hour so that they are heated to room temperature. The sour cream should then be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then Max residue should be removed with a cotton swab soaked in warm milk.
Another grandmother's recipe for facial rejuvenation that deserves respect. This is the use of aloe leaves with honey. The fleshy leaves of aloe contain substances that promote 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 need to be wrapped in a waterproof cloth and stored in the refrigerator 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 dark. Squeeze the juice of aloe leaves and mix in equal proportions with honey. Apply the resulting mixture on the face for 15 minutes, then after the mask residue rinse with warm chamomile extract.
Multi-component masks for facial rejuvenation
There are grandmother's multi-ingredient anti-wrinkle beauty recipes that are also very effective. For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- Aloe leaf juice - 1 tbsp;
- Raw egg yolks (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- Oil solutions A and E - literally ის teaspoon each;
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tbsp;
- Honey - 1 tbsp;
- Pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp. K.
All these components should be thoroughly mixed together and apply the resulting mixture on the face for about 15-20 minutes. You can rinse 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 yolks;
- Wheat flour.
You need to make flour from oatmeal. You can use a coffee grinder for these purposes. Mix the oatmeal with 2 tbsp. K. L. cream. Hold the obtained mass for a while so that it is slightly absorbed. You can then add the egg yolks and 1 tbsp. K. L. Olive oil. If the mass turns out to be quite thick, you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If you have a liquid turned out, add flour to it "by eye". The consistency of the mask should be similar to sour cream.
Apply the resulting mixture on the face and leave for 30 minutes, then rinse the mask with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for making anti-aging masks. All of them are inherently good, but effective only with regular and prolonged use. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work slowly, but give long-lasting results.
