Every woman wants to be young and beautiful - this is already an axiom. Attractive young women know that the result in this difficult task depends primarily on the amount of effort made, and not on what external data was originally presented by nature. This means that a beautiful woman is first of all an intelligent woman who knows the secrets of effective self-care. A good helper in this matter are anti-aging face masks - specially developed blends that inhibit the aging process of the skin.
Professional anti-aging masks
Currently, all well-known cosmetic brands produce anti-aging masks. This product is intended for mature skin, which, due to age, begins to lose its elasticity. Professionals call this category of cosmetic products revitalizing masks. As a rule, such mixtures have a complex effect: they intensely nourish and moisturize the skin, activate microcirculation and smooth wrinkles. Therefore, the use of masks can be compared to "first aid" for aging skin. Thanks to the substances contained in it, this substance affects the upper layers of the epidermis quite quickly, allowing you to refresh the skin in a few minutes. The most effective anti-aging masks today, in the opinion of cosmetologists, are biomatrix masks.
Biomatrix is a strip of fabric impregnated with a special compound, which is applied to the desired area of the face or neck. Previously, such a mask is moistened with water, thanks to which its components are activated. This type of care product contains vegetable collagen, fruit extracts, hyaluronic acid and other elements that stimulate the skin's regeneration processes. Biomatrixes are often based on algae. When wet, this type of masks turns into a gel substance, which after use is simply washed off with water.
The recipes of our grandmothers
Despite all the effectiveness of professional remedies, they are more likely to involve emergency care than a type of day-to-day care. And no matter how much we talk about innovations in the field of cosmetology, no one has come up with something more effective than natural methods to combat skin aging. All the recognized beauties of the world still produce anti-aging masks at home and use only natural ingredients. As a rule, the compositions of such masks are simple and uncomplicated, but this does not prevent them from effectively fighting wrinkles. An additional advantage is also the fact that the products from which the nourishing mask is made are available in the refrigerator at almost any housewife.
The most popular recipes for home anti-aging formulations today are as follows:
- Potato mask- potatoes perfectly nourish dry skin and prevent the appearance of small wrinkles on it. The recipe is extremely simple: mashed potatoes is applied to the prepared (cleansed and toned) skin and, after 20 minutes, is gently washed off with cold water.
- Parsley mask- the best anti-aging eye mask. It is used for sagging skin, swelling and dark spots in the eye area. Prepare it by mixing sour cream and grated parsley in proportions of 2: 1.
- Yeast mask- the effectiveness of this skin care method is appreciated by the elite. According to rumors, many pop stars are actively using this "grandma's recipe". This mask belongs to the multilayer category. For its preparation, two spoons (spoons) of yeast are diluted with warm water. It is necessary that the mixture turns out to be the consistency of sour cream, after which a spoon (teaspoon) of olive oil is added. The resulting substance is applied to the prepared skin of the face and neck. After five minutes, a second layer is carefully applied, after another five minutes, the face is covered for the third time with a yeast film. The mask should be left on for another 15 minutes and only then washed off.
- Vitamin cream- on many Internet forums where women post reviews about anti-aging face masks, it is this mixture that is called the most effective. According to the recipe, 100 grams of margarine is ground with 1 teaspoon of honey, one yolk and three tablespoons of vegetable oil. The substance is kneaded, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 10 drops of vitamin A (solution) and a drop of lemon juice and camphor alcohol are gradually added.
Masks by skin type
It is also important to select the components of anti-aging products based on the type of skin. Cosmetologists claim that the best anti-aging face masks for those with dry skin are mustard-based blends. A teaspoon of dry mustard is diluted with a tablespoon of vegetable oil. With the help of warm water, the mixture is made elastic (it should become the consistency of sour cream). Hold on to this mask for five minutes. After washing off the solution, the face is necessarily lubricated with a nourishing cream.
Oily and aged skin is saved with oatmeal. According to the recipe, three teaspoons of oatmeal are mixed with five drops of lemon juice and the protein from one egg. The mixture is applied to the skin of the face and held for 20 minutes. Normal to combination skin loves fruit blends more. They are prepared like this: add a teaspoon of freshly squeezed juice to the egg yolk. This mixture is applied to the surface of the face and neck and left for 20-30 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
And the most important thing is that everyone who wants to preserve the freshness and youth of the skin and, consequently, the beauty for many years, should be remembered: care should be regular.
Even the most effective mask won't do much good if done from time to time.
Special care - namely, the application of anti-aging masks can be attributed to this type of procedure - is carried out at least once a week. Only in this case the result will be, as they say, "on the face". Not for nothing the great Coco Chanel said that there are no ugly women, and she simply called lazy those who make such an impression. This means that the secret of all famous women is simple and accessible to every woman: it is self-confidence and regular self-care!
