If our body is protected by clothing, then the face will always remain open, which is why it will be affected by negative environmental factors. In addition, after a certain age, the skin will lose moisture quickly, and the subcutaneous fat will begin to disappear. This is one of the main reasons for the first wrinkles.
One morning, I found out that the skin on my face had changed. What a terrible thing: wrinkles, irregularities have appeared, and it has become drowsy and dull. For any woman, seeing this in the mirror only means one thing-it's time to take care of herself and regain her previous self-confidence and youth. However, many people are afraid of the prospect of depriving themselves and their loved ones of most of the money because of the high cost of refurbishing operations in aesthetic medicine clinics and salons. But, after all, our grandmothers somehow managed it without expensive procedures, and at the same time, they could keep the skin youthful for a long time. This is about how to perform anti-aging cosmetic surgery at home, and what folk remedies can help solve this problem. This article will discuss this.
Wash skin regularly
One of the simplest facial skin care products is premium water. The water rinses away the dead cells of the stratum corneum and cleans the dust, dirt, sweat and oil on the skin.
If the correct method is used, daily cleaning can not only become a sanitary procedure, but also a healing procedure. To keep your skin young, train yourself to wash your face with water. First rinse with warm water and then cold water several times. Hot water expands the pores, while cold water shrinks the pores. However, it is not recommended to wash your face with too cold or too hot water. When exposed to low temperatures, the skin dries out and begins to peel. Hot water causes continuous vasodilation and the skin becomes too sensitive to cold.
If your skin is dry, wash your face with soft water at room temperature. It is recommended to use facial cleanser no more than once a week. Special foams and gels with special therapeutic effects are specially designed for dry skin. For dry skin, chamomile, violet, rose petals, mint, lavender, ginseng, coriander and dill soup can be washed and compressed. Pour 200 grams of boiling water into one tablespoon of any of these ingredients. The resulting broth must be maintained for 20 minutes, strained, and cooled. For oily skin, decoctions of chamomile, St. John's wort, horsetail, arrow grass, plantain, cornflower, nettle, coltsfoot, and eucalyptus leaves are suitable.
For oily skin, you can use any cleanser twice a week: morning and evening. After washing, apply a nourishing cream on the skin, and after 20-30 minutes, remove the residue with a paper towel.
For normal skin, alternate washing with cold water and warm water is sufficient. However, even normal skin needs some care. Decoction of Chinese herbal medicine is very useful. Once a week, wash your face with decoction or wipe with a cotton swab dipped in warm water. For normal skin, almost any herbal-based decoction can be used, as each ingredient can perfectly nourish the skin and make the skin look healthy.
Massage is the backbone of basic knowledge
Daily facial massage can keep you in good shape and ensure its firmness and elasticity. Due to the constant blood flow during the massage, blood circulation is improved, expression and age wrinkles are smoothed, muscles are stimulated, and they lose their elasticity over time.
Rules for "Home Massage"
The premise of facial massage is to clean the skin thoroughly. Therefore, before this procedure, you must remove your makeup and wash thoroughly. In addition, you must use any regenerative moisturizing cream or essence to moisturize the skin. The latter option will be more preferable, because the skin before the massage will get an extra "push" to rejuvenate.
Indeed, there are many contraindications:
- Chronic inflammatory process on facial skin;
- burn;
- Facial hair levels increase.
Facial massage before going to bed is the most effective method, but this does not mean that you cannot rely on its help in the morning or afternoon. For example, a morning eyelid massage can relieve "night" puffiness, smooth out wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, and get rid of dark circles.
important:The massage process should last no more than 10-15 minutes, and the first treatment time should be 3-5 minutes.
Now, I will explain in more detail how to perform the massage correctly, where to start the massage and what movements to use for this.
There are many options for self-massage, but the most popular is the classic massage. This process is based on the physical impact on the skin of the face strictly along the specified lines.
These lines include:
- The line from the eyebrows to the roots of the hair;
- From the corners of the lips to the middle of the ears;
- From the center of the chin to the earlobe;
- From the nose to the temples;
- From the middle of the nose to the tip of the eyebrows.
All movements should be carried out with relaxed hands, no pressure and friction are allowed. You need to stroke your fingertips to start a classic massage. Gradually, exercise should become more active, even a tap on the skin on the face, which will warm it up. However, when the skin is ready, you can move on to the next stage.
Massage to smooth wrinkles
It is impossible to obtain high-quality facial rejuvenation at home without massage. If you don't have money to see a beautician, how to remove wrinkles and double chin? Very simple!
Movements should not be "strokes" like classic massages, but tapping and punctuation. First, you must slightly moisten the problematic area, not with your fingers, but on the inside of your wrist, to moisten it, just like "pressing" cream into the skin.
To "wipe out" the double chin, you need to use more rigorous massage techniques. This can be done by patting, pinching, or even rubbing with a towel soaked in water.
Towel massage technique: soak the towel in water, wring it out and roll it up with a tourniquet. Hold the end of the towel, stretch it under your chin, and pull it up firmly, as if you want to tie your chin. Keep the towel in this position for a few seconds, then release it. Repeat this process 7-10 times. Daily towel massage will produce noticeable results within a few weeks.
Massage can make you quickly achieve the desired effect. It lifts the skin, makes it firm and elastic, and keeps it youthful for a long time.
Homemade beauty products-the source of youthful skin
However, massage alone will not satisfy you. Yes, the skin will continue to receive the necessary support and the face will have a beautiful contour, but only with the help of creams, lotions and masks, it is possible to improve the color of the skin, make it smooth and give it a radiant complexion. There is no need to buy them, because almost any cosmetic can be made at home, and its performance will not be worse than that on store shelves. How and what is used to make high-quality household cosmetics? How to use it correctly, are there any contraindications to using such funds? Let us figure it out now.
There are many recipes for making homemade facial lotion. Here are just some of them.
Coriander lotion
To prepare this lotion, you need a tablespoon of fresh or dried parsley (preferably with roots), 50 ml of white wine and 1 cup of boiling water. Pour boiling water on the parsley and let it brew for half an hour. Then heat it in a water bath for 7-10 minutes. Then let the solution cool. When the water gets hot, filter it and pour the wine into the infusion. The lotion is ready. It helps restore the skin's radiance and healthy complexion. It can remove makeup perfectly and can easily replace expensive facial care products.
Mint lotion
To prepare mint lotion, you need to take 2 tablespoons of dried mint (or 5 tablespoons of fresh), half a liter of boiling water, 4 tablespoons of boric acid, 1 teaspoon of edible vinegar, 2 tablespoons of calendula tincture, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.
Pour boiling water on the mint and continue to burn for 10 minutes. After cooling, filter the infusion, and then pour the remaining ingredients into it. Such an emulsion is very good in summer, because in addition to its main function-cleansing the skin-it also has another function-refreshing.
Homemade face cream-the most effective recipe
Effective skin rejuvenation creams cannot contain artificial preservatives and other chemicals. These are some formulas for effective anti-wrinkle creams.
Cream face cream
To create your own "live" cream, you will need: 100 grams of cream, one egg yolk, half a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, one teaspoon of honey and two teaspoons of cognac. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl until smooth. The cream can be used immediately after preparation, in addition, it can be stored. Transfer the material to a glass container and close it with a lid (but not metal), and then take it out in a cool place.
This cream is applied on a thick layer almost like a mask. The exposure time is at least 20 minutes. After the procedure is completed, the cream must be washed off with warm water.
The effect is amazing! The skin is smooth, even and elastic, and this result can be obtained after the first use.
Oatmeal anti-wrinkle cream
Mix any amount of oatmeal with one teaspoon of glycerin, one teaspoon of camphor and one egg yolk. Due to its high penetration power, this cream must be applied only on areas that simulate wrinkles. When applied to other areas of the face, it may destroy the natural production of collagen. The exposure time of "oatmeal" cream is 1 hour. After the program is completed, the mixture must be washed with warm water. You can't store cream!
Homemade natural anti-wrinkle mask
The mask is an excellent tool for completing facial skin care procedures. There are natural masks in the store, but you can only buy them for a lot of money. Or, you can prepare your own mask at home to save money.
Therefore, here are some good anti-wrinkle mask formulas.
Anti-oil mask

Apply the product to clean facial skin for 20 minutes, then use a cotton swab dipped in water to remove the residue. The mask perfectly moisturizes and nourishes the skin, has a firming effect, and can resist aging and fine lines.
Vitamin mask in berries and vegetables
The skin also needs vitamins, and vitamins are the most common "garden dwellers": cucumbers and blackcurrants.
Cucumbers must be peeled and grated. Take one tablespoon of the resulting cucumber porridge and mix it with one tablespoon of blackcurrant porridge. Add a tablespoon of fatty acid cream to the mixture and mix everything. Put the mask on your face for 20 minutes, then wash it off with warm water.
Its function is to immediately give the skin radiance and freshness. The skin tone is improved, and the mood also improves.
Revitalizing mask
The mask showed an excellent repair effect. To make a homemade mask, you need white clay and serum. Dilute the ingredients to a thick sour cream consistency, apply on the skin for 15 minutes, and then rinse with water. If your skin is dry-after this step, moisturize your face with a moisturizing lotion.

Peeling and effective cleaning
Facial exfoliation can be done once a week. For this, you do not need to visit the salon because you can perform this procedure at home. Use scrub for facial cleansing. You can cook it yourself. The most popular cleaning ingredients are coffee and sea salt.

Stir the mixture thoroughly, apply it on your face, rinse with warm water for 10 minutes and then rinse off. For normal to dry skin, mix 1 tablespoon of sea salt with egg yolk and sour cream. Massage your face and rinse it off after 10-15 minutes. For oily skin, use any other fermented milk products (serum, kefir, low-fat sour cream) instead of sour cream.
Don't forget that it is impossible to achieve facial rejuvenation without changing nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In order to make the skin young and well-dressed, it is necessary to give up bad habits and add a variety of vitamins and minerals to the diet.
