Facial Wrinkle Masks

Home masks from facial wrinkles in some of their characteristics do not differ from store-giving “instant effects”, since they are often based on similar ingredients. This does not mean that you should immediately remember the grandmother's mask with sour cream and cucumber, but you can try some simple options at home

For some reason, since injection and hardware cosmetology has undergone a sharp development, experts in the field of beauty look a little down on those who are ready to maintain skin condition at home today. It is believed that the use of facial wrinkle masks is ineffective, but in vain. You just don’t know how to cook them properly!

Rules for using wrinkle masks

In order for a face mask used at home to prove its effectiveness, several mandatory conditions must be observed.

1. Preparation of facial skin.

How many times have they said that cleansing is the key to healthy skin. However, for some reason, many women either miss this stage or do not treat it carefully enough. Nevertheless, cleansed skin “works” after using masks 30% more efficiently. Remember, before applying the composition to the face, you must first cleanse the skin with a lotion or tonic. With oily skin, dirt and makeup residues are washed off with a foam or exfoliating scrub, and with dry skin - with ordinary water.

2. Preparation of the composition of the mask.

45% of allergic reactions in women occur due to the fact that they do not check the shelf life of the components of the mask from wrinkles. And this must be done. And it is advisable to use only natural ingredients. It is better to conduct an allergy test in advance by applying a small amount of the mask to the bend of the elbow. If after 15 minutes there is no allergic reaction, you can safely use

3. Application of funds. 

The mask on the face should be carefully applied with clean hands. The mechanics are as follows: the composition is applied from the bottom up along the massage lines (from the neck to the hairline). Next, move from the nasolabial folds to the ears and from the chin to the earlobes. The next layer should be applied to the area around the lips and eyes. If the mask contains ingredients with an active composition, do not apply them on the lips and around the eyes. After full application, inhale and exhale several times. You can lie down and close your eyes. It should be borne in mind that certain face masks, especially those made with berries and fruits, flow, so try to protect your clothes in advance. It is advisable to fill your hair in a shower cap, and cover your shoulders and chest with a towel.

4. "Lifetime" masks. 

On average, you need to keep the mask from wrinkles for about half an hour, this time is enough for the active components to begin to act on the upper layers of the epidermis. But, if you feel a burning sensation, itching, or see redness, hives, rinse the mask off immediately with water. Just in case, take a light anti-allergenic drug, and if possible, consult a doctor.

5. Removing the mask. 

The ideal option is to first carefully remove the mask with a wet towel or sponge, this is the so-called gentle cleansing. And then rinse with cold or warm running water, without using soap. If you are the owner of dry skin, then the wrinkle mask is washed off with warm water, but with a greasy product it is washed off with cold. After removing the remnants of the mask, a moisturizer must be applied to the skin of the face.

What cream to choose for the face?

• For dry skin, you should opt for a cream with a dense texture that intensively nourishes it.
• For oily skin, a cream based on zinc, which has a matting effect, is suitable.
• But hypoallergenic products have proven themselves in the care of sensitive skin.

Have you ever wondered how before the fair sex took care of themselves when there were no modern cosmetics? They used what nature gave. For example, in Ancient Egypt and Rome, women made masks of fruits, berries and vegetables. Modern science has proven that fruit acids can penetrate all layers of the skin down to the dermis. They contribute to its rejuvenation and have the effect of lifting. Some products reduce oily skin, some reduce pigmentation, and there are those that cleanse and nourish the skin.
