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 gives not the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness surpasses even modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before you carry out facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you need to familiarize yourself with some of the rules for their use, which will help you 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 the fulfillment of the following rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, skin inflammation and irritation awaits you.
- You need to use ready-made home remedies immediately after they are prepared. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, you need to thoroughly wash your face using antibacterial soap. The active components that make up the prepared product almost instantly penetrate deep into the epidermis through the 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. The result is redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- When preparing masks, do not use metal kitchen utensils. Upon contact with metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to quickly oxidize and deteriorate, as a result of which the shelf life of the prepared mask decreases and its effectiveness decreases.
These 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.
Anti-aging mask recipes
Traditional methods of facial rejuvenation do not require strong financial costs. Masks are made from a variety of ingredients found in every home. So, let's begin.
The first grandmother's recipe for wrinkles, which I would like to tell, helps to increase skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is the usual sour cream. And the fatter it is, the better. If you have cream at home, you can use that 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 up 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 warm milk.
Another grandma's recipe for facial rejuvenation that deserves respect. This is the application of aloe leaves with honey. The fleshy leaves of aloe 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 preparing a mask from these ingredients, you must 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 may turn slightly black, there is nothing to worry about. Just cut off the parts that are darkened. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix it with honey in equal proportions. Apply the resulting mixture on 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 granny'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 (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 glycerin - 1 tsp
All these components must be thoroughly mixed with each other 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 plain warm water.
Another equally effective grandma's recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oat flakes;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- Wheat flour.
You need to make flour from oatmeal. For these purposes, you can use a coffee grinder. 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 yolk and 1 tbsp. l. olive oil. If the mass turned out to be quite thick, you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If you have it turned out to be liquid, then add flour to it "by 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 effective only if they are used regularly and for a long time. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
