To preserve the beauty and youth of the facial skin, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk medicine does not give the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness surpasses even modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before you perform facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you need to familiarize yourself with some of the rules of 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 used correctly. The word "correct" means compliance with the following rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, dermatitis and irritation await you.
- You will need ready-made home remedies immediately after they are prepared. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap. The active components that make up the prepared product penetrate almost instantly 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 oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, as a result of which the durability of the prepared mask decreases and its efficiency 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 face rejuvenation do not require strong financial costs. Masks are made from a variety of ingredients found in every home. So let's start.
The first grandmother's recipe for wrinkles, which I would like to tell, helps to increase skin tone, hydration and bleaching. And this is the usual sour cream. And the fatter it is, the better. If you have cream at home, you can also use it.
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 alone. They should be taken out of the refrigerator and placed on the table for at least half an hour so that they are warmed up to room temperature. Then the sour cream should be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then the remnants of maxi should be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandmother'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, prepare the aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in an impermeable cloth and kept refrigerated for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves may turn a little black, there is nothing to worry about. Simply cut the parts that are darkened. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix it with honey in equal amounts. 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 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 (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 should be mixed thoroughly with each other and the resulting mixture should be applied to the facial skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask off with plain warm water.
Another equally effective grandmother's recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oat flakes;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- 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 stand for a while so that it swells a little. Then 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, add flour to it "by eye". The consistency of the mask should correspond to the sour cream.
The resulting mixture should be applied to the skin of the face and allowed to work for 30 minutes. The mask can then 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 for a long time. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
