Probably no woman after the age of 35 likes to look "her age", and even more so to look older than her age.
There are a lot of anti-aging cosmetics now - this is great, but effective products are not cheap, and visiting salons takes time, but also a lot of money.
Of course, beauty is more expensive, but even though you can't get good cosmetics or apply to a salon, you have to take care of your skin with the help of available means, and you need to pay as much attention to your face as possible.
Folk remedies will always be in demand, not only because they are cheap, but also because they are prepared from the most natural ingredients - food.
There are many folk remedies for facial skin rejuvenation, but they must be used continuously.
Peeling and masks
The most popular are masks for facial rejuvenation, prepared according to folk recipes. They will be more effective if the skin is prepared first: steamed with decoctions of medicinal herbs - you can make compresses or keep your face above a pot of hot steam. Homemade peels will help remove the top layer of dead cells.
A good scrub can be made quickly, for example, using mashed berries and sugar. Brown sugar is mixed with currant porridge, strawberry, etc. , Rub and apply on face on steam for 5-7 minutes, then gently massage the skin along the massage lines and rinse with warm water. The skin is moisturized and softer - you can apply a mask. Such peels can be used no more than once a week, and for very dry skin - twice a month.
Masks with vegetable oils are convenient to make at home - they are always in the kitchen. Flaxseed oil has pronounced anti-aging properties. It can be used alone or in combination with other ingredients. Such a mask is very nourishing: linseed oil and honey (1 teaspoon each) are mixed with raw egg yolk, put in warm water for a few minutes, apply the heated mixture on the face for 15 minutes, rinse with warm water.
In a similar way, a mask is made with olive oil, which is rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants. To 1 st. l. butter, add egg yolk, a little honey and lemon juice, stir until smooth and apply on face, neck and décolleté for 20 minutes.
A well-known folk remedy for rejuvenation is ordinary ointment: it gives the skin softness and elasticity and removes wrinkles. A piece of fresh, unsalted fat is spread all over the face, and after 15 minutes it is washed off with warm and then cold water.
Many homes have the aloe plant: masks with aloe biostimulation work wonders - a few lower leaves of the plant must be kept on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for 10-14 days before use. For the mask: 1 tbsp. l. aloe porridge and milk powder, 1 tbsp. honey and raw egg yolks. Stir until smooth and apply on face for 10-12 minutes.
Herbal infusions, lotions, creams
Homemade lotions and herbal infusions perfectly rejuvenate the skin, remove small wrinkles, age spots and other imperfections.
Soothes, cleanses and rejuvenates the skin with an infusion of linden, horsetail, sage and chamomile flowers. The herbs are mixed in 1 teaspoon, poured a glass of boiling water, left for half an hour, filtered and wiped face 2 times a day.
Tonic infusion of evening primrose, comfrey, parsley and dill is prepared in the same way - it refreshes the skin and removes pigmentation. The herbs are mixed and cooked, as in the previous recipe, but insist for 3 hours, filtered and wiped daily on the face.
It removes small wrinkles and prevents their appearance by infusing corn flowers (2 teaspoons), St. John's wort (1 tablespoon), immortelle, tricolor violets and calendula (1 teaspoon each). The mixture of herbs is poured into ½ liters of boiling water, insist day and twice a day, wipe the face. This infusion is especially good for oily skin.
And for dry skin the following is suitable: fresh rose petals (rosehip berries), dried chamomile, mint, sage and dill, chop, pour 1/2 liter of cold water, boil and keep on low heat for 5 minutes.
Nettle lotion rejuvenates all skin types. Finely chop 50 g of fresh nettle, boil with a glass of boiling water, leave for 2 hours, add vodka (2 tablespoons), filter and use morning and evening.
From the available and cheap ingredients, you can create a homemade cream: vegetable juices, egg yolks and butter. Beeswax (1 teaspoon) is dissolved in a water bath, grape seed oil (1 tablespoon) (apricot, peach), glycerin (1 teaspoon) are added. 3 tbsp. l. mixtures of carrot, pumpkin, cucumber, zucchini and cabbage juices are thoroughly mixed with raw egg yolk, mixed with a mixture of oil-glycerin-wax and whipped 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 peeling and irritation.
A light massage with ice cubes helps to slow down aging and preserve the youthfulness of the skin. The skin needs to be massaged with ice in the morning, after washing: this improves blood circulation and nutrition, and the cells begin to receive more oxygen.
When removing makeup it is better to use cosmetic oils - almond, grape seed and so on - instead of commercial products. Such cleansing does not contain any "chemistry", and at the same time saturates the skin with beneficial substances. It is better to wash the face not with tap water, but with mineral water, structured water from the refrigerator or at least boiled water.
Rejuvenating tea and balm
In addition to external means that rejuvenate the skin, there are also means that act from the inside: teas, herbal decoctions, infusions, all kinds of tinctures and balms.
Garlic balm will help rejuvenate the skin. The peeled head of garlic is poured over white wine (200 ml), boiled for half an hour on low heat, cooled and poured into a jar together with the garlic. You need to drink several months in a row: 1 tsp. 3 times a day before meals for 3 days, then a break of 7 days and drink again for 3 days.
Another balm is prepared with dry red wine - it fights against sagging skin. A liter of wine is poured into a mixture of lavender and sage herbs and insist 2 weeks in the dark, in a cool place, sometimes shaking. The infusion is filtered and drunk every morning half an hour before meals.
In order for a woman's skin to retain youth for longer, 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 pomegranate is rich in phytoestrogens - it is cooked and drunk like any tea. If there are no berries, you can use only the leaves - for example, the leaves of young rose hips contain a lot of vitamin C, flavonoids, catechins and other bioactive substances.
There are many folk remedies for facial rejuvenation, but they must be used systematically. Only in this case can you expect that the time spent taking care of yourself will pay off. Remember lifestyle, diet 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 not let stress destroy what is most valuable: a woman’s health and beauty.
