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 rules for use, which will help to avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules of rejuvenation at home
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are only effective if applied correctly.
The word "correct" means that the following rules are respected:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, skin inflammation and irritation awaits you.
- Use ready-made home remedies immediately after preparation. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared 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 skin's surface along the way. If it contains dirt, their microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne.
- Do not use metal cooking utensils to prepare masks. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, which leads to a decrease in the shelf life of the prepared mask and its effectiveness.
Here 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 high 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 tell 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 also use it.
These dairy products contain an enormous 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 taken out of the refrigerator and placed on the table for at least half an hour to 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 facial rejuvenation recipe 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 a 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 darkened parts. 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, rinse 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 consisting of:
- juice from aloe leaf - 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 of these components should be mixed thoroughly, and the resulting mixture should be applied to the skin 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.
Oatmeal is used to make flour. For these purposes, you can use a coffee grinder. Combine 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 is thick enough, then you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If you get liquid, add flour "with the naked 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 which 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.
