To preserve the beauty and youthfulness of facial skin, it is not necessary to buy expensive creams and masks. Rejuvenation with folk remedies gives not 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 rules for their use that will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules of rejuvenation at home
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are effective only if they are applied correctly.
The word "correct" means that the following rules are met:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and skin irritations await you.
- Use ready-made home remedies immediately after preparation. The maximum shelf life is 3 hours.
- Wash your face thoroughly with antibacterial soap before applying the prepared product. The active ingredients that make up the prepared product almost instantly penetrate deep into the epidermis through the pores and "collect" everything on the surface of the skin along the way. If it contains dirt, their microparticles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne.
- 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, as a result of which the shelf life of the prepared mask is reduced and its effectiveness is reduced.
These are simple rules that require adherence 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 different ingredients that can be found in every home. Well, let's go.
Grandma’s first wrinkle recipe, which I would like to say, helps increase skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this is the usual sour cream. And the fatter 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 essential for the skin to prevent 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 to warm to room temperature. After that, the sour cream should be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then the remains of the max should be removed with a cotton cloth dipped in warm milk.
Another recipe for rejuvenating grandma's face 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 from these ingredients, you need to prepare aloe leaves in advance.
They should be wrapped in an impermeable cloth and refrigerated for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves may turn a little black, no reason to worry. Just cut out the parts that are 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 face rejuvenation masks
There are grandma’s multi-hour wrinkle beautification recipes that are also very effective.
For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of:
- aloe leaf juice - 1 teaspoon;
- raw egg yolk (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- oil solutions A and E - literally sp teaspoons;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 teaspoon;
- honey - 1 teaspoon;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 teaspoon
All these components must be thoroughly mixed and the resulting mixture applied to the skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash 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;
- egg yolk;
- wheat flour.
Oatmeal is used to make flour. You can use a coffee grinder for this purpose. Mix oatmeal with 2 tablespoons. l. cream. Let the resulting mass stand for a while, so that it swells slightly. You can then add the 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 to it. If you get it liquid, add flour "on the 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 to act for 30 minutes, after which you can rinse the mask 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.
