To maintain the beauty and youthfulness of facial skin, there is absolutely no need to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give the worst results, and sometimes its effectiveness even surpasses 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 its use, which will help you avoid future skin problems.
Basic rules for rejuvenation at home
Traditional recipes for rejuvenation are only effective if applied correctly. The word "correct" means the fulfillment of the following rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and skin irritation await you.
- You need to use ready-made home remedies as soon as they are prepared. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, you need to wash your face thoroughly with 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, the microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- When preparing masks, do not use metal kitchen utensils. After contact with metals and exposure to oxygen, the product begins to rapidly oxidize and deteriorate, as a result of which the shelf life of the prepared masks is reduced and their effectiveness decreases.
This is a simple rule that requires you to follow traditional 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 recipe
Traditional facial rejuvenation methods do not require large financial costs. Masks are made of various materials that are in every home. So, let's get started.
Grandma's first recipe for wrinkles, which I want to tell you, helps improve skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is ordinary sour cream. And the fatter, the better. If you have the cream at home, you can use it too.
This dairy product contains a large 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 must be removed from the refrigerator and placed on the counter 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 remaining 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 vera leaves with honey. The fleshy leaves of aloe vera contain substances that contribute to skin regeneration and increase collagen synthesis. 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 aloe vera leaves first.
They should be wrapped in a waterproof cloth and refrigerated for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves may turn a little black, nothing to worry about. Just cut off the darkened part. Squeeze the juice from the aloe vera leaf and mix it with honey in equal proportions. Apply the resulting mixture on the face for 15 minutes, and after the rest of the mask, rinse with warm chamomile broth.
Multi-component mask for facial rejuvenation
There is a grandmother's multi-ingredient anti-wrinkle beauty recipe that is also very effective. For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe vera leaf juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolk (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally tsp each;
- fresh lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 tsp;
- pharmaceutical glycerin - 1 tsp
All these components should be thoroughly mixed with each other and the resulting mixture should be applied to the facial skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash off the mask with plain warm water.
Another equally effective grandmother's recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- Oat flakes;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- Flour.
You need to make flour from oatmeal. For this purpose, you can use a coffee grinder. Mix the oat flour with 2 tbsp. l. cream. Let the resulting mass stand for a while so that it swells a little. After that, you can add the egg yolk and 1 tbsp. l. olive oil. If the mass turns out to be thick enough, you don't need to add wheat flour to it. If it turns out to be liquid, 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 allowed to work for 30 minutes. After that, the mask can be washed off with warm milk or plain water.
There is another recipe for making anti-aging masks. All of them are good in their own way, but effective only if used regularly and for a long time. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
