In order to preserve the beauty and youthfulness of the skin of the face, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give the worst results, and sometimes its effectiveness exceeds even modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before doing facial rejuvenation using folk remedies, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with some of the rules for their use, which will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules for home rejuvenation
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are only effective if used correctly. The word "correct" means compliance with the following rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, expect skin inflammation and irritation.
- You need to use ready-made home remedies immediately after preparation. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, you need to thoroughly wash your face with antibacterial soap. The active components that make up the prepared product penetrate almost immediately through the pores deep into the epidermis and "collect on the way" everything that is on the surface of the skin. When it contains dirt, its microparticles penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils when preparing masks. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products quickly begin to oxidize and deteriorate, as a result of which the durability of the prepared mask decreases and its effectiveness decreases.
These are the simple rules that you need 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 a high financial cost. Masks are made from a wide variety of ingredients found in every household. So let's start.
First grandmother's recipe for wrinkles that I want to tell you about helps increase skin tone, moisture, and lightening. And that's the usual sour cream. And the thicker it is, the better. If you have cream at home, you can use this too.
These dairy products contain a large amount of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, which are essential for the skin to prevent skin aging. Sour cream or heavy cream can be used alone. They should be taken out of 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 remains of the maxi should be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandma's face rejuvenation recipe that deserves respect. This is the application of aloe leaves with honey. The fleshy leaves of aloe contain substances that help regenerate the skin and increase collagen synthesis. And honey soothes inflammation and has an antiseptic effect on the skin. But before you start preparing a mask from these ingredients, you need to prepare the aloe leaves in advance.
They need to be wrapped in an impermeable cloth and refrigerated for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves can easily turn black, so there is nothing to worry about. Just cut off the darkened parts. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix in equal proportions with honey. Apply the resulting mixture on the face for 15 minutes and, after the remnants of the mask, rinse 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 consisting of:
- Aloe leaf juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolk (use protein for oily skin);
- Oil Solutions A and E - literally ½ tsp each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- Honey - 1 tsp;
- Pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp
All of these components must be mixed together thoroughly and the resulting mixture must be applied to the skin of the face for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash off the mask with clean warm water.
Another equally effective granny recipe for wrinkles involves using the following ingredients:
- Oatmeal;
- Cream;
- Olive oil;
- Egg yolk;
- Wheat flour.
You need to make flour from oatmeal. You can use a coffee grinder for these purposes. Mix oat flour with 2 tbsp. l. Cream. Let the resulting mass stand for a while so that it swells up slightly. After that, you can add egg yolks and 1 tbsp. l. Olive oil. If the mass turns out to be quite thick, then there is no need to add wheat flour. If it turns out to be runny, add flour "by eye". The consistency of the mask should be similar to that of sour cream.
The resulting mixture is applied to the skin of the face and left 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 are good in their own way, but only effective if used regularly and over a long period of time. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give permanent results.
