It is not necessary to buy expensive creams and masks to maintain the beauty and youth of the skin. Rejuvenation gives not bad results with folk remedies, but sometimes surpasses their effectiveness, even in popular brands of modern cosmetics.
Before applying facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, it is necessary to get acquainted with some rules of their use, which will help to prevent skin problems in the future.
Basic rules of rejuvenation at home
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are effective only when used correctly.
The word "correct" means that the following rules have been followed:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, skin inflammation and irritation await.
- As soon as you're ready, use the ready-made home remedies. Maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the product, wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap. The active ingredients that make up the finished product instantly penetrate deep into the epidermis through the pores, "collecting" everything on the skin's surface. If it contains dirt, their microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, and acne.
- Do not use metal utensils in the kitchen when making masks. When in contact with metal and under the influence of oxygen, the products quickly oxidize and deteriorate, resulting in a reduced shelf life and reduced efficiency.
These are simple rules that require you to follow folk remedies for skin rejuvenation. Now that we know how to use Grandma's beauty techniques, let's talk about how to prepare them.
Recipes for anti-aging masks
Traditional facial rejuvenation methods do not require significant financial outlay. Masks are made from different ingredients found in every home. So let's get started.
The recipe for my first grandmother's wrinkles that I want to tell you is to increase skin tone, moisturize and whiten. And this is the usual cream. The fatter it is, the better. If you have sour cream at home, you can use it too.
These dairy products are rich in vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that the skin needs to prevent aging. Sour cream or sour cream can be used on its own. Take them out of the refrigerator and put them on the table for at least half an hour to warm to room temperature. Then apply the cream on the skin for 25-40 minutes. Then the maxi residue should be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another great grandmother's face rejuvenating recipe that deserves respect. Use aloe leaves with this honey. The fleshy leaves of aloe contain substances that promote skin regeneration and collagen synthesis. Honey, on the other hand, relieves inflammation and has an antiseptic effect on the skin. But before you start making a mask from these ingredients, prepare aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in an impermeable cloth and refrigerated for 10-14 days. Then you can use them. The leaves may turn a little dark, there is nothing to worry about. Cut off the darkened parts. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaf and mix it with honey in equal proportions. Apply the mixture on the face for 15 minutes and wash off the remnants of the mask with warm chamomile broth.
Multi-component facial rejuvenation masks
Grandma has multi-ingredient beauty recipes against wrinkles, which are also very effective.
For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe leaf juice - 1 teaspoon;
- egg yolk (use protein if oily skin);
- oil solutions A and E - literally ½ teaspoon;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 teaspoon;
- honey - 1 teaspoon;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 teaspoon
All these ingredients should be mixed well and the mixture should be applied to the skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask with plain warm water.
Another equally effective grandmother's wrinkle recipe requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oats;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- wheat flour.
Oatmeal is used to make flour. You can use a coffee grinder for this purpose. Mix with 2 tablespoons of oatmeal. l. sour cream. Stand for a while so that the resulting mass swells a little. Then you can add egg yolk and 1 tbsp. l. olive oil. If the mass is thick, it is not necessary to add wheat flour. If you get it liquid, add flour "by eye". The consistency of the mask should be similar to cream.
The mixture should be applied to the face and stirred for 30 minutes, after which the mask can be washed off with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for anti-aging masks. All of them are good in themselves, but are effective only when used regularly and for a long time. Keep in mind that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work slowly, but give lasting results.
