- After surgery, don't apply a nourishing cream, but a moisturizing cream, as the fragrance can dry out the skin.
If you are allergic to honey then you can replace it with molasses, but you need to choose something natural (eg from starch) instead of sugar.
herbal supplements
In addition to scrubs and masks, you will also need to use daily supplements, which will additionally hydrate and cleanse the skin's surface. It's available in any cosmetic store, but you can make natural tonics at home using folk methods. There are two variants of this tool:
- Based on sage, oak bark, chamomile (for oily or combination skin);

The broth can then be poured through gauze into a convenient bottle or jar (sifting the liquid through the blades of grass a few times is recommended). Supplements are stored in the refrigerator and can be used 2-3 times a day.
All of these at-home rejuvenating folk remedies will work within two months if you use them regularly and in combination.
Pharmacies help in reaching out to youth
There is no need to prepare ways to maintain and restore youthful facial skin; you can buy some pharmacy ointments or creams:
- Retinoic acid ointment;
- solcoseryl ointment;
- Anti-aging creams (various brands).
Retinoic acid ointment is an excellent antibacterial agent for treating various skin imperfections: acne, rashes, redness, which become stronger and take longer on the skin with age. Anything against imperfections should be applied to them point by point, and this ointment is no exception. Clean and healthy skin looks younger and more beautiful, so you need to eliminate unpleasant manifestations.
Solcoseryl ointment - a drug that improves the entry of oxygen into the tissues. As we age, the pores of the skin pass this gas into the epithelium, which gradually affects its condition: it becomes dry, flaky, and the tissue loses its luster and looks dull. Apply Solcoseryl in a thin layer to the entire face and gently rub into the face. Also, for those with sensitive skin, the ointment can be "diluted" with a nourishing or moisturizing cream.
Anti-aging creams are an equally popular and well-publicized remedy that is believed to have truly unimaginable effects: smoothing deep wrinkles, firming skin, and more. Almost all cosmetic companies produce a line of creams for aging skin that promises a rejuvenating effect. But it should be understood that this is only part of the truth. Age-related facial makeup can indeed smooth out tiny wrinkles or smooth out unpleasant imperfections, but no product can nourish the skin with collagen and tackle deep skin folds.
The creams nourish and replenish the supply of vitamins and minerals, but they don't do any "magic". They can be used in combination with other programs, and the selection needs to focus on the specified age.
General advice
It's not enough to just smear something on your skin and hope for a miracle! You need to change your lifestyle:
- Modify menu
- Make a sleep schedule
- exercise;
- Find the best beauty treatments (massage, mask, exfoliation);
- relieve pressure.
The menu for those who want to rejuvenate should include natural products: vegetables (greens and legumes), fruits (citrus fruits), nuts and dried fruits, dairy products (except butter), vegetable oils. Groups 1 and 4 contain essential protein and B vitamins, group 2 - antioxidant vitamin C, and groups 3 and 4 contain large amounts of E, known as "youth vitamins". You can also purchase age-specific vitamin and mineral complexes.
You need to get at least 8 hours of sleep, because all the flaws of sleep deprivation are visible on tired skin, and the bags under the eyes take much longer to disappear in adult women than in younger women.
Exercise load allows the skin to breathe, enriched with oxygen, refreshes the face, smoothes wrinkles, and removes excess subcutaneous deposits.
It is also necessary to contact a beautician, as it is quite difficult to do professional massage or physiotherapy yourself.
Skin rejuvenation at home is possible, but it requires effort and all procedures must be done regularly. You can't help but follow these recommendations, only then will the skin be rejuvenated and beautiful.
