You do not need to buy expensive creams and masks to maintain the beauty and youth of the skin. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness exceeds the modern cosmetics of famous brands.
And before performing facial rejuvenation with folk remedies, you should get acquainted with some rules of use that will help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Basic rules of rejuvenation at home
Folk recipes for rejuvenation are effective only when applied correctly. The word "correct" means the following rules must be followed:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, inflammation and irritation of the skin will await you.
- You should use ready-made home remedies immediately after preparation. 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 finished product almost immediately penetrate deep into the epidermis through the pores and "collect" everything on the surface of the skin. If it contains dirt, their microparticles will penetrate the skin. As a result, redness, inflammation, acne, etc.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils when preparing the mask. When in contact with metal and exposed to oxygen, the products begin to oxidize and deteriorate rapidly, resulting in a reduced shelf life and reduced effectiveness of the mask.
These are simple rules that require you to follow folk methods for skin rejuvenation. Now that you know how to use your grandmother's beauty techniques, let's talk about how to prepare them.
Recipes for anti-aging masks
Traditional methods of facial rejuvenation do not require strong financial costs. Masks are made from different ingredients found in every home. So let's get started.
I would like to tell you the recipe of the first grandmother for wrinkles, which helps to increase skin tone, moisturize and whiten. And this is the usual sour cream. And the fatter it is, the better. If you have cream at home, you can also use it.
These dairy products contain large amounts of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that are important to prevent skin aging. Sour cream or sour cream can be used independently. They should be removed from the refrigerator and placed on the table for at least half an hour to warm to room temperature. After that, the cream should be applied to the skin for about 25-40 minutes. Then the maxi residue 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 help regenerate the skin and increase the synthesis of collagen. Honey eliminates inflammation and has an antiseptic effect on the skin. But before you start making a mask from these ingredients, you need to prepare aloe leaves in advance.
Wrap them in a waterproof cloth and keep in the refrigerator for 10-14 days. Then they can be used. The leaves may be a little black, there is nothing to worry about. Just cut out the darkened parts. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix with honey in equal proportions. Apply the resulting mixture on the face for 15 minutes and after the remnants of the mask, wash off with warm chamomile broth.
Multi-component masks for facial rejuvenation
Grandma has beauty recipes for multi-ingredient wrinkles, which 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);
- fat solutions A and E - each ½ teaspoon;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 tsp;
- honey - 1 tsp;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 tsp
All these components should be thoroughly mixed with each other and the resulting mixture should be applied to the face for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask with ordinary warm water.
Another equally effective grandmother's recipe for wrinkles requires the use of the following ingredients:
- oat flakes;
- cream;
- olive oil;
- egg yolk;
- Wheat flour.
It is necessary to prepare flour from oatmeal. You can use a coffee grinder for this purpose. Mix oatmeal with 2 tablespoons. l. cream. The resulting mass swells a little to stand for a while. After that, you can add egg yolk and 1 tbsp. l. olive oil. If it turns out that the mass is thick enough, it is not necessary to add wheat flour. If it is liquid, add "wait" flour. The consistency of the mask should be like sour cream.
The resulting mixture should be applied to the face and leave to act for 30 minutes. After that, the mask can be washed off with warm milk or plain water.
There are other recipes for anti-aging masks. They are all good in their own right, but are only effective when used regularly and for a long time. Remember that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
