To preserve the beauty and youth of human skin, it is not necessary at all to buy expensive creams and masks. Renewal with folk remedies does not bring the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness even surpasses modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before you do a facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you need to know some of the rules for their use, which will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
The basic rules for home renovation
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are effective only if properly applied. The word "correct" means the observance of the following rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, skin inflammation and irritation are waiting for you.
- You need to use ready home remedies immediately after preparing them. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, you need to wash your face thoroughly using antibacterial soap. The active components that make up the prepared product almost immediately penetrate deep into the epidermis through pores and "collect along the way" everything that is on the surface of the skin. If there is dirt, its microparticles will enter the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- When preparing masks, do not use metal kitchen utensils. Upon contact with metals and oxygen exposure, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, resulting in a reduced shelf life of the prepared mask and 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.
anti-aging mask recipes
Traditional methods of facial rejuvenation do not require strong financial costs. Masks are made from various ingredients found in every home. So let’s get started.
The first grandmother's recipe for wrinkles, I would like to say, helps to increase skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is the usual sour cream. And the fatter it is, 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 the skin to prevent aging. Sour cream or sour cream can be used alone. They should be removed from the fridge 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. The remnants of the maxi should then be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandma recipe for facial renewal deserves respect. This is the application of aloe leaves with honey. Aloe vera leaves contain substances that enhance 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 need to prepare the aloe leaves in advance.
They must be wrapped in a non-permeable cloth and refrigerated for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves may turn slightly black, there is nothing to worry about. Just cut out the parts that are dark. Squeeze the juice from 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 facial rejuvenation
There are multi-ingredient granny anti-wrinkle beauty recipes that are also very effective. For example, a refreshing mask consisting of:
- aloe leaf juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolk (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally ½ tsp each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- mil - 1 tsp;
- pharmaceutical glycerin - 1 tsp
All these components must be thoroughly mixed with each other and the resulting mixture must be applied to human skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can simply wash the mask with warm water.
Another grandma recipe that is just as effective for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oat flakes;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- Wheat flour.
You need to make flour from oatmeal. For these purposes, you can use a coffee grinder. Mix oat flour with 2 tbsp. l. cream. Let the resulting mass stand for a while so that it swells slightly. After that, you can add egg yolk and 1 tbsp. l. olive oil. If the mass turned out to be quite thick, you do not need to add wheat flour. If it has turned out to be liquid, then add flour "by eye". The consistency of the mask should be like sour cream.
The resulting mixture should be applied to human skin and left to act for 30 minutes. After that, the mask can be washed with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for making anti-aging masks. Each one is good in its 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.
