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’t do without correct and regular care. There are many procedures for keeping the 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 abandon the use of self-made face masks. And this is quite 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, on the beautiful labels of which miraculous results are visible, noticeable immediately after the first application. The cost of such funds is very different. Some anti-aging masks cost a mere penny, while others have to pay more than one thousand. It is important to understand that the cost and quality of the product are 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, petroleum products and other elements that are not at all beneficial for our body. Moreover, some manufacturers simply hold back information about the content of a component in the composition, so you should be extremely careful when choosing a tool. And it is better, in general, to partially or completely abandon the store tools, and make face masks on their own.

Regular use of natural masks will significantly improve the quality of the skin, slightly tighten the facial contours, make wrinkles less noticeable. Your skin will become moisturized and radiant, the main thing is to maintain regularity, and prepare only those products that are suitable for you.

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

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

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

Any masks, not only rejuvenating, can not be done if the skin is present: acute dermatitis, severe purulent inflammation, and so on. In this case, the rules of treatment and care are appointed by a specialist individually and only after a full examination of the body.

The second main contraindication to the use of homemade masks is the individual intolerance of a particular component.But such a factor is easy to take into account, because if you prepare the tool yourself, you completely control its composition.

If you do not know if you are allergic to a particular product, do not apply the mask all over your face right away., track the body's response to the component, inflicting it in a small amount on the elbow bend. If within 24 hours no negative reaction appears, you can safely use a mask with such a component.

To choose the right composition of the mask, which really 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 accustomed to divide the skin in accordance with its properties into 3 types: oily, dry and combined.

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

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

In this case, the skin on the face is prone to fatness in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), and on the cheeks while the tissues are dry and flaky. For combination skin, separate care is also needed. The ideal option would be multimasking, which is especially popular lately. This procedure involves the use of different products on certain parts of the face. In particular, masks with a seboregulating composition are applied to the T-zone, and nourishing and moisturizing products to the cheekbones.

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

After all, in order for the rejuvenating mask to really work, you must carefully prepare the skin for its application. First of all, you must thoroughly clean the skin from any cosmetics and other contaminants.

Then it is important to open the pores so that the effect of the mask is maximized.

In order to open the pores, you can:

• wash with hot water;
• attach a towel soaked 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.

Above the capacity with herbal decoction is recommended to be about 5 minutes, until the pores open, and the skin does not redden and evaporate. Then blot your face with a paper towel and immediately proceed to the next stage of preparation of the skin for the application of the anti-aging mask.
