Probably no single woman after 35 years likes to look "her age", and even more so to look older than her years.
There are now many anti-aging cosmetics - this is great, but effective products are not cheap, and visiting salons takes time, and also a lot of money.
Of course, beauty is more expensive, but while you can not get good makeup or register in a salon, you need to take care of your skin with the help of available tools, and you need to pay as much attention to your face aspossible.
Folk remedies will always be in demand, and not just because they are cheap, but because they are prepared from the most natural ingredients - food.
There are many folk remedies for facial skin rejuvenation, but they need to be used consistently.
Friction and masks
The most popular are masks for facial rejuvenation, prepared according to popular recipes. They will be most effective if the skin is prepared first: it evaporates with a decoction of medicinal herbs - you can make compresses or keep your face on a hot steamer. And household cleanings will help remove the top layer of dead cells.
A good cleansing scrub can be done quickly, for example, using berry puree and sugar. Brown sugar is mixed with grains from raisins, strawberries, etc. , Rubbed and applied to a steamed face for 5-7 minutes, then gently massage the skin along the massage lines and rinse with warm water. The skin is moisturized and soft - you can apply a mask. Such cleansers can be used no more than once a week, and for very dry skin - twice a month.
It is convenient to make masks with vegetable oils at home - they are always in the kitchen. Flaxseed oil has pronounced anti-aging properties. Can be used alone or mixed with other ingredients. Such a mask is very nourishing: flaxseed oil and honey (1 teaspoon each) are mixed with egg yolk, placed in warm water for a few minutes, apply the hot mixture on the face for 15 minutes, rinse with waterwarm.
Similarly, a mask is made with olive oil, which is rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants. To 1 st. butter, add egg yolk, a little honey and lemon juice, mix until smooth and apply on face, neck and décolleté for 20 minutes.
A popular folk remedy for rejuvenation is common fat: it gives the skin softness and elasticity and removes wrinkles. A piece of fresh, unsalted lard is smeared all over the face, and after 15 minutes they are washed off with warm water and then cold.
Many homes have an aloe plant: biostimulated aloe vera masks work wonders - some of the lower leaves of the plant should be kept on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for 10-14 days before use. For the mask: 1 tablespoon. aloe vera and milk powder, 1 tbsp. raw honey and egg yolk. Mix until smooth and apply on face for 10-12 minutes.
Herbal infusions, lotions, creams
Homemade lotions and herbal infusions perfectly renew the skin, eliminate fine lines, age spots and other imperfections.
Soothes, cleanses and rejuvenates the skin with an infusion of linden, horsetail, sage and chamomile flowers. Mix the herbs in 1 tablespoon, pour a glass of boiling water, leave for half an hour, filter and wipe the face 2 times a day.
A tonic infusion of evening primrose, coconut, parsley and dill is prepared in the same way - refreshes the skin and removes pigmentation. The herbs are mixed and baked, as in the previous recipe, but insist for 3 hours, filtered and wiped on the face every day.
Eliminates fine wrinkles and prevents their appearance with an infusion of cornflower (2 tablespoons), St. John's wort (1 tablespoon), immortal, tricolor purple and calendula (1 teaspoon each). A mixture of herbs is poured into ½ liter of boiling water, insist for a day and twice a day, they wipe the face. This infusion is especially good for oily skin.
And for dry skin, these are suitable: fresh rose petals (rose petals), dried chamomile, mint, sage and fennel, chop, pour 1/2 liter of cold water, boil and keep on firelow for 5 minutes
Nettle lotion rejuvenates all skin types. Finely chop 50 g of fresh nettle, brew with a glass of boiling water, leave for 2 hours, add vodka (2 tablespoons), filter and use in the morning and evening.
From the available and cheap ingredients, you can create a homemade cream: vegetable juices, egg yolks and butter. Beeswax (1 tablespoon) is melted in a water bath, add grape seed oil (1 tablespoon) (apricots, peaches), glycerin (1 tablespoon). 3 tablespoons mixtures of carrot, squash, cucumber, squash and cabbage juices are thoroughly mixed with egg yolk, combined with an oil-glycerin-wax mixture and rubbed with a mixer. The mixture is poured into a clean glass jar and cooled. The thickened cream is used at night: it moisturizes and nourishes the facial skin, gives it a healthy look, prevents redness and irritation.
A light massage with ice cubes helps to slow down the aging and preserve the youth of the skin. Massage is necessary to massage the skin with ice in the morning, after bathing: this improves blood circulation and nutrition, and the cells begin to receive more oxygen.
When removing makeup, it is better to use cosmetic oils - almonds, grape seed, and so on - than commercial products. Such a cleanser does not contain any "chemistry", and at the same time saturates the skin with beneficial substances. It is better to wash your face not with tap water, but with mineral water, water structured from the refrigerator, or at least boiled.
Refreshing tea and balm
In addition to external agents that rejuvenate the skin, there are also agents that act from the inside: teas, herbal decoctions, infusions, all kinds of tinctures and balms.
Garlic balm will help rejuvenate the skin. Peeled garlic head is poured with white wine (200 ml), boiled for half an hour on low heat, cooled and poured into a jar together with garlic. You should drink for several months in a row: 1 tablespoon. 3 times a day before meals for 3 days, then a break for 7 days and drink again for 3 days.
Another balm is prepared with dry red wine - it fights well against sagging skin. A liter of wine is poured into a mixture of lavender and sage herbs, and insist for 2 weeks in the dark, in a cool place, occasionally shaking. The infusion is filtered and drunk every morning half an hour before meals.
In order for a woman's skin to remain younger, it is necessary to maintain the synthesis of female sex hormones in the body - estrogen: they are responsible for retaining water in the skin and stimulating collagen production. Tea made from berries and leaves of raspberry, strawberry and rose hips is rich in phytoestrogens - it ripens and is drunk like any tea. If there are no berries, you can use only leaves - for example, young rose leaves contain a lot of vitamin C, flavonoids, catechins and other bioactive substances.
There are many folk remedies for facial rejuvenation, but they should be used systematically. Only then can you expect that the time spent caring for yourself will pay off nicely. Do not forget about lifestyle, food and water: you should eat natural and fresh products, drink only clean water, walk in the fresh air at any time of the year and do not let stress ruin the most valuable thing: women's health and beauty.
