To preserve the beauty and youth of the skin of the face, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness surpasses even modern cosmetics of famous brands.
And before performing facelift 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 when applied correctly. The word "correct" means the fulfillment of the following rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and irritation of the skin await you.
- You need to use ready-made home remedies right after they are prepared. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, you need to thoroughly wash your face 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 making 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, 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 facelift methods do not require heavy financial costs. The masks are made with a variety of ingredients found in every home. So, let's get started.
Grandma's first recipe for wrinkles, which I would like to tell, helps to increase the tone, hydration and whitening of the skin. And this is the usual sour cream. And the fatter, 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 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 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 remains of the maxi must be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandma's recipe for her facelift that she 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 making a mask with these ingredients, you need to prepare the aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in a waterproof sheet and refrigerated for 10-14 days. So they can be used. The leaves may turn slightly black, there is nothing to worry about. Only cut out the parts that are darkened. Squeeze the juice of 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 face rejuvenation
There are grandma's multi-ingredient wrinkle beauty recipes that are also very effective. For example, a regenerating mask consisting of:
- juice of aloe leaves - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolk (if the skin is oily, use proteins);
- oily solutions A and E - literally ½ teaspoon 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 should be applied to the skin of the face for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash off the mask with 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.
You need to make flour from oatmeal. For these purposes, you can use a coffee grinder. Mix the oatmeal with 2 tbsp. L. cream. Let the resulting mass rest for a while so that it swells slightly. After that, you can add the egg yolk and 1 tbsp. L. olive oil. If the mass turned out to be quite thick, then there is no need to add wheat flour. If it turned out to be liquid, add the flour "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 for 30 minutes, after which the mask can 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 effective only when used regularly and for a long time. Remember that folk remedies for face rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
