To preserve the beauty and youth of facial skin, it is not necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation folk remedies do not give the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness surpasses even modern cosmetics of popular brands.
And before you rejuvenate your face with folk remedies, you need to get acquainted 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 if applied correctly. The word "correct" means compliance with the following rules:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and skin irritation await you.
- You need to use ready-made home remedies immediately after you prepare them. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Before applying the prepared product, it is necessary to wash your face well 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, their microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils when preparing masks. After contact with the metal and exposure to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and decay rapidly, which reduces the shelf life of the prepared mask and reduces its effectiveness.
These are simple rules that require you to adhere to folk remedies for skin rejuvenation. Now that you know how to use Grandma’s beauty techniques, let’s talk about how to prepare them.
Recipes for anti-aging masks
Traditional methods of facial rejuvenation do not require large financial costs. Masks are made from various ingredients found in every home. So, let's get started.
Grandma's first wrinkle recipe, which I want to tell you about, helps increase skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is the usual sour cream. And the thicker it is, the better. If you have a cream at home, you can also use it.
These dairy products contain a huge amount of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, which are necessary to prevent skin aging. Sour cream or cream can be used alone. They should be taken out of the refrigerator and put on the table for at least half an hour to warm up to room temperature. After that, sour cream should be applied on the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then the remnants of the maxi should be removed with a cotton swab dipped in warm milk.
Another grandmother's recipe for facial rejuvenation that deserves respect. This is the application of aloe leaves with honey. The fleshy leaves of aloe 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 of these ingredients, you need to prepare aloe leaves in advance.
It is necessary to wrap them in an impermeable cloth and leave them in the refrigerator for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves may turn a little black, no reason to worry. Just cut off the parts that have darkened. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix it with the 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 soup.
Multi-component masks for facial rejuvenation
There are grandmother's recipes for beauty against wrinkles with several ingredients that are also very effective. For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe leaf juice - 1 tsp;
- raw egg yolks (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally per teaspoon;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 teaspoon;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp
All these components must be well mixed with each other and the resulting mixture applied to the skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can rinse the mask with plain warm water.
Another equally effective grandmother's recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oatmeal;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- yolks;
- Wheat flour.
You have to make flour from oatmeal. You can use a coffee grinder for this purpose. Mix oatmeal with 2 tablespoons. l. cream. Leave the resulting mass to stand for a while to swell a little. You can then add the egg yolks and 1 tbsp. l. olive oil. If the mass was quite thick, you do not have to add wheat flour to it. If it turns out to be liquid, then add flour "by eye". The consistency of the mask should be similar to sour cream.
Apply the resulting mixture on the skin of the face and leave it on 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. They are all 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.
