Over the years, the skin of the face, neck and décolleté loses its elasticity, becomes covered with wrinkles, age spots and vascular network. This cannot but upset. However, there are products that successfully fight the signs of aging of this kind. This article is devoted to masks that can restore youth and beauty to aging skin.
Yeast mask
Beer yeast has long been used in cosmetology to maintain the natural pH balance of the skin. The yeast included in cosmetic masks cleanses the skin well and gives a feeling of freshness and firmness. Yeast mask for aging facial skin is made on the basis of unrefined extra virgin olive oil. This oil easily penetrates into epithelial cells, transporting nutrients contained in other components into them. That is why it is often included in a variety of face masks for aging skin.
A yeast mask with the following composition has proven itself well: brewer's yeast, olive oil,natural honey and sweet almond oil. For one mask, one tablespoon of this mixture is enough. It is impossible to make the composition for the future, since in a humid environment the yeast does not remain active for long. Each ingredient should be taken 10-15 grams. They should be combined in a bowl, stir and put in a warm place for half an hour. During this time, the yeast is activated - the face is covered with a thick layer of the mask and left for 18-20 minutes. Then rinse off with warm water.
Thanks to the oils included in its composition, it does not cause a feeling of tightness and dryness. Yeast face masks for aging skin are contraindicated for those with skin prone to redness.
Protein mask
Egg white is very good at tightening the skin, reducing deep wrinkles and smoothing fine lines. Even after the mask is washed off, the skin will remain smooth. The composition of the protein face mask for aging skin includes lemon juice, which whitens age spots, and oatmeal. For greater efficiency, the flakes must be crushed into powder and poured with boiling water. For half a tablespoon of cereal - 1 tablespoon of water. Let it brew for 15 minutes and swell. Egg white is difficult to apply to the skin, so it must be whipped until foamy. Combine the protein foam with ground flakes, add freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 coffee spoon) and apply this composition on the face. After a quarter of an hour, when a feeling of tightness begins to appear, the mask can be washed off, and the face wiped with tonic and lubricated with a moisturizing or nourishing cream.
Yolkmask
Egg yolk contains lecithin, essential for the skin to maintain youth and reduce various signs of aging. In order for the yolk lecithin to penetrate the skin cells, it is mixed with transport oil. Most often, the most effective masks for aging facial skin contain expensive natural oils of sweet almond, saffron, avocado, shea and others. A few drops of one of these oils, mixed with the yolk, will rejuvenate the skin in a couple of tens of minutes. Their effect will persist for several days. Such masks are recommended to be done with a break of two to three days. Ideal if you alternate oils and take farm eggs.
Before the first application of the lecithin mask, the skin of the face should be cleansed with a gentle peeling. This will increase blood circulation and improve the permeability of epithelial cells.
Clay mask
Clay masks for fading facial skin have a wide spectrum of action, since various microelements useful for the skin prevail in the composition of cosmetic clay, depending on its color.
White is rich in zinc and magnesium. It has a tonic and regenerating effect.
Blue contains a lot of iron and helps with puffiness.
Yellow contains a lot of potassium and is used to remove toxins.
Red clay reflects well on the complexion, as it contains molecules of copper and iron oxide.
Pink clay detoxifies and soothes irritations. It contains many trace elements, including silicon, magnesium, iron and others.
Very appreciatedcosmetologists green clay. It contains silver ions that stop all pathogenic processes and thus restore youthfulness and attractive appearance to the skin.
Facial masks for aging skin, containing clay, are recommended to be done every seven to ten days and alternate with oil or oatmeal.
For a mask, cosmetic clay can simply be diluted with water and applied to the face in this form, and after a quarter of an hour, rinse with water and fix the result with a nourishing cream.
In case of problematic skin prone to withering, it is better to dilute clay (1 tablespoon) with aloe juice (1 teaspoon) and liquid natural honey (1 teaspoon), add a few drops of vitamins A and E in oil.
Avocado mask
The pulp of a ripe avocado has a delicate oily structure, contains many elements useful for the epithelium and goes well with various oils and other traditional mask components.
The mask we offer for aging skin of the face and neck is made from avocado, olive oil and egg yolk. She absorbs well. After it, the skin retains freshness and a beautiful even color for a long time. The mask should be applied to cleansed, damp skin, covered with a warm wet towel and held for about a quarter of an hour. Rinse with warm water and then rub with an ice cube. This contrast will cause the pores to narrow quickly. The nutrients of the mask, once in the open pores, will remain in the skin for a long time and will heal it from the inside.
Gelatin mask
Gelatin –this is collagen, which aging skin needs especially strongly. It takes a lot of time to prepare and apply a gelatin mask - about an hour and a half, so it is recommended to do it on a day off. The waiting time when the mask can be removed is at least half an hour. The fact is that this mask is not washed off with water, but is removed in the form of a film.
For her, gelatin must be diluted with hot water, as written on the package, and left to swell. After the allotted time, without adding any more liquid, put in a water bath. When all the gelatin has dissolved, it must be cooled to body temperature and only then applied to the face, chin and neck, avoiding the areas around the eyes.
The gelatin mask should be applied in several layers using a wide brush. When the mask is applied in a thick layer, you need to lie down, relax, and in this state, wait until it completely hardens. You can't talk during this time. The frozen mask is removed very easily, you just need to pull on its edge. It is enough to do this procedure once a month. The skin after it becomes younger for several years - its structure is leveled, blood circulation improves and the vascular network disappears. Despite the laboriousness of implementation, the gelatin mask is considered one of the best for skin that has lost elasticity and is dotted with numerous wrinkles.
Mask of celandine
Aging of the skin of the face is manifested not only in the formation of wrinkles, but also in the appearance of age spots. Grass celandine - a popular vegetablea remedy for papillomas, eliminates not only these neoplasms, but also whitens lentigo and chloasma - foci of melanin accumulation, which spoil the appearance with age. It is not difficult to distinguish celandine from other plants - when a leaf or stem is torn off, a bright orange juice is visible at the gap.
The recipe for a mask for aging facial skin contains crushed fresh green mass of celandine and fresh cucumber juice. This cocktail is applied to the skin and covered with a damp washcloth. The duration of the mask is from a quarter of an hour to 20 minutes. If the spots do not disappear from the first time, then the procedure should be repeated until the unwanted rashes completely disappear. The mask is not recommended to be done more than once every 7-8 days. Use only freshly picked grass each time.
Oil mask
Dry, sluggish skin will quickly restore tone if oil masks are made for several days in a row with essential oils of rose, rosehip, frankincense, sage and patchouli, mixed with olive base transport oil. We recommend making a whole bottle of the listed oils at once in order to be able to make restorative masks for dry, fading facial skin every evening for a long time.
To prepare the mask, 100 ml of unrefined extra virgin olive oil is taken and 5 drops of the above essential oils are added to it. Before the procedure, the skin of the face should be cleaned, steamed, and, while it is moist and the pores have not closed, immediately apply an oil mask. Hold it on your face and neck for about a quarter of an hour. Remainsblot with a soft cloth. Properly prepared skin absorbs oil well. It lingers in the upper layer of the epidermis and accumulates moisture in its deeper layers. As a result of several procedures in one week, even very dry and sluggish skin will acquire a he althy and blooming appearance.
Chocolate mask
Natural dark chocolate is a powerful antioxidant. It contains flavonoids, which contribute to the production of collagen by skin cells. Chocolate improves the texture of the skin, making it supple and smooth, and in combination with cream, shea butter and aloe vera juice, it successfully eliminates all signs of aging.
Chocolate mask for aging skin at home is done as follows. 50 grams of natural chocolate is melted in a water bath, 1 teaspoon of heavy cream, the same amount of natural aloe vera juice and 1 coffee spoon of shea butter are added to it. Everything is mixed until smooth and applied warmly to clean, steamed skin of the face, then to the neck and décolleté. After 20 minutes, the "chocolate shake" should be washed off with plenty of warm water. This mask is enough to do every three to four days.
Potato mask
Potato mask is considered one of the best remedies for swelling in the eye area. In addition, it eliminates dark circles under the lower eyelids. For the mask, you need fresh peeled potatoes, grated on the smallest grater. This gruel is superimposed in a circle onorbital bone and left for a couple of tens of minutes. You need to wash it off with warm water, trying to act as delicately as possible so as not to injure the thin skin near the eyes. This mask can be used as often as you like. By adding some new ingredients, it is easy to increase the functionality of the procedure.
One of the most famous potato masks used in beauty salons also contains aloe vera juice, arnica water infusion and fennel oil. Aloe vera stimulates the production of elastin and collagen, which is especially important for aging skin. Regular use of this mask not only effectively fights puffiness, but also smoothes fine wrinkles around the eyes. Arnica enhances the anti-edematous effect of potatoes, and fennel tones the thin skin of the eyelids. Potato mask can be recommended to any woman. It does not cause irritation or allergic reactions.
