Secrets of the preparation and use of anti-aging face masks

If you dream of a beautiful, smooth and healthy skin without wrinkles, then you can not do without proper and regular care. There are many procedures to keep your skin in good condition for many years. But even in the age of high technology and the development of pharmaceuticals, women do not want to refuse to use self-made face masks. And this is understandable, because you yourself control the composition of the product, do not spend a lot of money and remain completely confident in its naturalness.

On the shelves of modern stores you can easily find thousands of different jars, the beautiful labels of which describe the miraculous results that are noticeable immediately after the first use. The cost of such funds is very different. Some anti-aging masks cost a mere penny, while others cost more than one thousand. It is important to understand that the cost and quality of a product is not always directly proportional to each other.

But the main criterion for choosing a mask is not even the price, but its composition. Unfortunately, most modern products are full of parabens, preservatives, chemical additives, oil products and other elements that are not at all useful for our body.Moreover, some manufacturers simply remain silent about the content of a component in the composition, so you should be extremely careful when choosing a product. And it’s better, in general, to partially or completely abandon store products, and make face masks on your own.

Regular use of natural masks will significantly improve the quality of the skin, slightly tighten the oval of the face, make wrinkles less noticeable. Your skin will become moisturized and radiant, most importantly, observe regularity, and prepare only those products that are right for you.

Means for rejuvenation with different composition is recommended for women over 35 years old, 45, 50-55 and 60 years old. The exact age at which a person is shown such drugs cannot be called. This is due to the fact that the lifestyle, genetic characteristics of all people are different. And sometimes a woman in her 40s may look much better than another woman in her 30s.

However, there are specific general signs that indicate the need for anti-aging products:

• fading, dehydrated skin;
• dull complexion
• noticeable, but not too strong creases,
• loss of clarity oval face and so on.

Any masks, not only anti-aging, can not be done if on the skin there are: acute dermatitis, serious purulent inflammation and so on. In this case, the rules of treatment and care are prescribed by a specialist individually and only after a full examination of the body.

The second main contraindication to the use of home-made masks is the individual intolerance of a certain component. But this factor is easy to take into account, because if you yourself are preparing a tool, you are in full control of its composition.

If you do not know if you are allergic to a particular product, do not apply the mask immediately to the entire face, track the body’s response to the component by applying a small amount to the elbow. If within 24 hours no negative reaction is manifested, you can safely use a mask with such a component.

In order to choose the right mask composition, which, in fact, will be a good ally in the struggle for youth and beauty of the skin, you must first correctly determine your skin type. Beauticians are used to dividing the skin according to its properties into 3 types: oily, dry and combination.

Such skin is characterized by increased work of the sebaceous glands. It is in connection with this that an oily sheen appears on the surface of the epidermis. Excessive secretion of sebum indicates an imbalance in hormones. However, if you do not have serious health problems, you can well normalize the functioning of the glands with proper care. First of all, you need to understand that oily skin needs full and constant hydration.

This type of skin is most often found in women aged. Dry skin is prone to peeling, wrinkles appear on it faster. To improve the appearance of tissues, it is necessary to regularly make nourishing and moisturizing masks, try to avoid products that can even dry the epidermis.

In this case, the skin on the face is prone to oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), and on the cheeks the tissues are dry and flaky. Combination skin also needs separate care. An ideal option would be multimasking, which is especially popular recently. This procedure involves the use of different products on separate parts of the face.In particular, masks with a self-regulating composition are applied to the T-zone, and nutritious and moisturizing products are applied to the cheekbones.

In order for the use of anti-aging masks to bring a noticeable and lasting result, it is necessary to follow certain rules of the complex for the care of aging skin. We list the main points.

You probably noticed that different people from using the same masks get completely opposite results. This is not always associated with the characteristics of the skin of a person. Indeed, in order for the anti-aging mask to really work, it is necessary to carefully prepare the skin for its application. First of all, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the skin of any cosmetics and other contaminants.

Then it is important to open the pores so that the mask appears as much as possible.

In order to open the pores, you can:

• wash with hot water;
• apply a towel dampened in hot water to the skin;
• go to the bath (if possible);
• hold your face over a container of boiling water;
• use a special device for steaming the skin.

But to achieve the best effect, experts recommend using not just plain water, but a healing herbal decoction. It is not difficult to cook it, but it is more than enough to get the body's benefits. To prepare a decoction, you will need leaves of dried pharmacy chamomile. And you can also use mint, nettle, string or tea rose.

Pour a small amount of dried flower with a liter of fresh water and place the container in a steam bath. Bring the workpiece to a boil, then turn off the heat and keep the container on the steam bath for about a quarter of an hour. After this, it is necessary to insist the product for at least 30 minutes.

Then pass the broth through a fine sieve or gauze. Place again in a container and add half a liter of boiled water. It is recommended to stay over a container with herbal decoction for about 5 minutes, until the pores open, and the skin turns red and steam. Then blot your face with a paper towel and immediately proceed to the next step in preparing your skin for applying a rejuvenating mask.

If you apply a mask or nourishing cream to the skin without first exfoliating, then a larger amount of nutrients will simply remain on top of the keratinized particles of the epidermis, and you will not get the desired result. Therefore, after steaming the skin, it must be treated with a natural scrub. To cook it, you will need a little chopped oatmeal, you can buy it ready-made or cook it yourself by simply grinding oatmeal with a food processor. Add some warm milk or water to the cereal and mix thoroughly until smooth.
