To preserve the beauty and youthfulness of the skin of the face, it is not at all necessary to purchase 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 carrying out facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you need to familiarize yourself with some of the rules for use, which will help to 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, inflammation and irritation of the skin awaits you.
- You should use ready-made home remedies immediately after preparation. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, you should wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap. The active components that make up the prepared product almost instantly penetrate the epidermis through the pores and "collect on the way" everything on the surface of the skin. If it contains dirt, their microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- When preparing the masks, do not use metal cooking utensils. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, resulting in a decrease in the shelf life of the prepared mask and its effectiveness.
These are 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.
Anti-aging mask recipes
Traditional methods of facial rejuvenation do not require significant financial costs. The masks are made from a variety of ingredients found in every home. So let's get started.
Grandma's First Wrinkle Recipe I would like to share helps increase skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is the usual sour cream. And the bigger it is, the better. If you have cream at home, you can use it too.
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 cream can be used on its own. They should be removed from the refrigerator and placed on the table for at least half an hour so that they warm to room temperature. After that, sour cream should be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then the remnants of the maxi should be removed with a cotton swab dipped in hot milk.
Another grandma's recipe for facial rejuvenation that deserves respect. It is the application of aloe leaves with honey. The fleshy aloe leaves contain substances that contribute to the regeneration of the skin and increase the synthesis of collagen. And honey relieves inflammation and has an antiseptic effect on the skin. But before you start to prepare a mask from these ingredients, you need to prepare the aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in waterproof cloth and refrigerated for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves may turn slightly black, there is nothing to worry about. Simply cut off the parts that are blackened. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix it with honey in equal proportions. Apply the resulting mixture to the face for 15 minutes, and after the remnants of the mask wash off with warm chamomile broth.
Multi-component masks for facial rejuvenation
There are grandma's multi-ingredient anti-wrinkle beauty recipes that are also very effective. For example, a rejuvenating mask composed 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 teaspoon;
- drugstore glycerin - 1 teaspoon
All these components should be thoroughly mixed with each other, and the resulting mixture should be applied to the skin of the face for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash off the mask with lukewarm water.
Another equally effective grandma's recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oatmeal;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- Egg yolk;
- Wheat flour.
You need to make flour from oatmeal. For these purposes, you can use a coffee grinder. Mix oatmeal with 2 tbsp. L. cream. Let the resulting mass sit for some time so that it swells slightly. After that you can add egg yolk and 1 tbsp. L. olive oil. If the mass turns out thick enough, then you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If you find it liquid, add flour "with the 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. After that, the mask can be washed off with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for making anti aging masks. All of them are good in their own way, but only effective if used regularly and for a long time. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
