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 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 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 effective only if used correctly.
The word "correct" means that the following rules are met:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, dermatitis and irritation await you.
- Use ready-made home medicine immediately after preparation. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before using the prepared product, wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap. The active ingredients that make up the prepared product penetrate almost immediately deep into the epidermis through the pores and "collect along the way" everything that is on the skin surface. If it contains dirt, their 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 begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, resulting in a decrease in the durability of the prepared mask and a decrease in its effectiveness.
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.
Recipes for anti-aging masks
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 start.
The first grandmother's recipe for wrinkles, which I would like to tell, helps 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 use it 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 alone. They should be taken out of the refrigerator and placed on the table for at least half an hour to warm up to room temperature. Then apply lotion cream on the skin for approx. 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 use 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 of these ingredients, you need to prepare the aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in an impermeable cloth and cooled for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves may turn a little black, there is nothing to worry about. Just cut off the parts that are dark. Squeeze juice from aloe leaves and mix it with honey in equal proportions. Apply the resulting mixture on your face for 15 minutes, then rinse with warm chamomile broth after the rest of the mask.
Multi-component face rejuvenation masks
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 yolks (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally 1/2 teaspoon each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 tsp;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp
All these components should be thoroughly mixed together and the resulting mixture should be applied to the skin for approx. 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:
- oatmeal;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- wheat flour.
Oatmeal is used to make flour. 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 up a bit. Then you can add egg yolk and 1 tbsp. l. olive oil. If the mass is quite thick, you do not need to add wheat flour to it. If you get it liquid, add flour to it "with the eye". The consistency of the masks should correspond to the 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 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.
