In order to keep the facial skin beautiful and youthful, there is absolutely no need to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenating with folk remedies isn't the worst outcome, and sometimes they even outperform popular brands of modern cosmetics.
Before using folk remedies for facial rejuvenation, you need to familiarize yourself with some rules of their use that will help you avoid future skin problems.
Ground rules for rejuvenation at home
Rejuvenating folk recipes are only effective when applied correctly. The term "correct" means meeting the following rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, skin inflammation and irritation awaits you.
- You need to use ready-made home remedies as soon as you are ready. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before using the prepared product, you need to wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap. The active ingredients that make up the prepared product penetrate deep into the epidermis almost immediately through the pores and "collect" everything on the skin's surface along the way. If it contains dirt, their particles can penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils when preparing masks. Once in contact with metal and exposed to oxygen, the product begins to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, resulting in a shortened shelf life and reduced effectiveness of the prepared masks.
These are simple rules that require you to follow folk remedies to rejuvenate your skin. Now that you know how to use grandma's beauty tips, let's talk about how to prepare them.
Anti-Aging Mask Recipe
Traditional methods of facial rejuvenation do not require high financial costs. Masks are made from a variety of ingredients found in every household. So, let's get started.
I would like to tell my first grandmother the secret wrinkle recipe that helps to add skin tone, hydration and whitening. This is the usual sour cream. And the fatter the better. If you have whipped cream at home, you can also use it.
These dairy products contain high amounts of vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, which are essential for preventing skin 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 allow them to warm to room temperature. After that, the sour cream should be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then, the residue of the maxi should be removed using a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another face-rejuvenating secret from a respectable grandmother. This is an application of aloe vera leaves with honey. The fleshy leaves of aloe vera contain substances that aid in skin regeneration and increase collagen synthesis. Honey relieves inflammation and has an antiseptic effect on the skin. But before you start preparing the mask with these ingredients, you must prepare the aloe vera leaves in advance.
They need to be wrapped in an impermeable cloth and refrigerated for 10-14 days. Then you can use them. The leaves may turn black, nothing to worry about. Only cut off the blackened part. Squeeze aloe vera leaf juice and mix with honey in equal proportions. Apply the resulting mixture to the face for 15 minutes, after the mask remains, rinse with warm chamomile decoction.
Multi-component mask for face rejuvenation
There are also grandma's multi-ingredient anti-wrinkle beauty recipes that work well. For example, a revitalizing mask includes:
- Aloe Vera Leaf Juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolks (use protein if you have oily skin);
- Oil Solutions A and E - ½ tsp each;
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 teaspoon;
- Pharmacy glycerin - 1 teaspoon
All these ingredients must be well mixed with each other and the resulting mixture must be applied to the facial skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash off the mask with normal warm water.
Another equally effective granny wrinkle recipe requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oatmeal;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- yolk;
- flour.
You need to use oatmeal for the flour. For these purposes, you can use a coffee grinder. Mix oat flour with 2 tablespoons. l. Cream. Let the resulting mass sit for a while to expand slightly. After that, you can add egg yolks and 1 tbsp. l. Olive oil. If the mass becomes very thick, there is no need to add wheat flour to it. If you find it's liquid, then add flour to it "by the eye". The consistency of the mask should be similar to sour cream.
Apply the resulting mixture to the facial skin, let it sit for 30 minutes, then wash off the mask with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for making anti-aging face masks. They each have their own benefits, but they are only effective if used regularly and over a long period of time. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but the effects are long-lasting.
