You don't need to buy expensive creams and masks to preserve the beauty and youth of your skin. Rejuvenation with folk remedies does not give the worst results, and sometimes their effectiveness exceeds the modern cosmetic products of popular brands.
Before rejuvenating your face 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 if applied correctly.
The word "correct" indicates that the following rules have been followed:
- All ingredients used must be fresh. Otherwise, skin inflammation and irritation await you.
- 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 they contain dirt, their micro-particles will penetrate the skin. The result is redness, inflammation, acne.
- 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 prepared mask.
These are simple rules that require you to follow folk remedies 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 facial rejuvenation methods do not require strong financial costs. Masks are made from different ingredients found in every home. So let's get started.
The first grandmother's recipe for wrinkles that I want to tell you about increases skin tone, hydration and whitening. And this ordinary sour cream. And the more rooted it is, the better. If you have cream at home, you can use it too.
These dairy products contain a large number of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that are important to prevent skin aging. Sour cream or cream can be used alone. It 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 respected grandmother's facial rejuvenation recipe. It is the application of aloe leaves with honey. Aloe vera leaves contain substances that help rejuvenate the skin and increase collagen synthesis. 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 in a waterproof cloth and refrigerate for 10-14 days. Can then be used. The leaves may be a little black, there is nothing to worry about. Cut only the darkened parts. Squeeze the juice from the aloe leaves and mix with honey in equal proportions. Rub the resulting mixture on your face for 15 minutes and wash off the remnants of the mask with warm chamomile juice.
Multi-component masks for facial rejuvenation
Grandma also has beauty recipes for multi-ingredient wrinkles, which are also very effective.
For example, a rejuvenating mask consisting of the following.
- aloe leaf juice - 1 teaspoon;
- raw egg yolk (if the skin is oily, use protein);
- Fat solutions A and E - literally ½ teaspoon of each;
- freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 teaspoon;
- honey - 1 teaspoon;
- pharmacy glycerin - 1 teaspoon
All these components should be thoroughly mixed and the resulting mixture should be applied to the skin for about 15-20 minutes. You can wash the mask with plain warm water.
A recipe for an equally effective grandmother 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. As a result, allow the mass to 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 is thick enough, it is not necessary to add wheat flour. If you get liquid, add "wait" to it. The consistency of the mask should be similar to sour cream.
The resulting mixture should be applied to the face and leave on 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. They are all good in themselves, but are effective when used regularly and for a long time. Keep in mind that folk remedies for facial rejuvenation work gradually, but give lasting results.
