In order to preserve the beauty and youthfulness of the facial skin, it is not at all necessary to buy 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 doing facial rejuvenation using folk remedies, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with some rules for their use that will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules for rejuvenation at home
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are only effective if used correctly.
The word "correct" means that the following rules are met:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, expect skin inflammation and irritation.
- 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 penetrate almost instantly 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.
- 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 manufactured 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 high financial costs. Masks are made from a wide variety of ingredients found in every home. So let's start.
First grandmother's recipe for wrinkles that I'd like to share helps improve skin tone, moisture, and whiteness. 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 important for the skin to prevent aging. Sour cream or heavy cream can be used alone. They should be taken out of the refrigerator and left 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 remains of the maxi should be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandmother's facial 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 promote collagen synthesis. And honey soothes inflammation and has an antiseptic effect on the skin. But before making a mask from these ingredients, you need to prepare the aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in an impermeable cloth and refrigerated for 10 to 14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves can easily turn black, there is nothing to worry about. Just cut off the darkened parts. Squeeze juice from 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 over-the-counter anti wrinkle beauty recipes that are very effective too.
For example a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- Aloe leaf juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolks (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- Oil solutions A and E - literally ½ tsp each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 tsp;
- Pharmacy glycerine - 1 tsp
All of these components must be mixed together thoroughly, and the resulting mixture should be applied to the skin for about 15 to 20 minutes. You can wash off the mask with clean warm water.
Another equally effective grandma's recipe for wrinkles involves using the following ingredients:
- oatmeal;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- wheat flour.
Oatmeal is used to make flour. 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 slightly. After that, you can add egg yolks and 1 tbsp. l. Olive oil. If the mass is quite thick, then you do not need to add wheat flour. When you get it runny add flour "by eye". The consistency of the mask should be similar to that of sour cream.
The resulting mixture should be applied to the skin of the face and left on for 30 minutes. The mask can then be washed off with warm milk or clear water.
There are other recipes for making antiaging masks. All of them 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.
