If our body is protected by clothing, then the face is always open and therefore it is exposed to negative environmental factors. In addition, after a certain age, the skin quickly loses moisture, the fat under the skin begins to disappear. This is one of the main reasons for the appearance of the first wrinkles.
How horrible one morning to discover that the skin on my face has changed: wrinkles, irregularities have appeared, she has become dull and dull. For every woman, it means only one thing to see this in the mirror - it's time to take care of herself and regain her former self-confidence and youth. However, many people are afraid of the possibility of depriving themselves and their loved ones of a significant part of the money, because rejuvenating methods in aesthetic clinics and beauty salons cost a lot. But after all, our grandmothers somehow managed without expensive procedures and at the same time managed to keep their skin younger for a long time. It's about how to promote cosmetic surgery against aging at home and what folk remedies can help with this and will be discussed in this article.
Regular washing for skin rejuvenation
One of the simplest face care products is good water. Water washes away dead cells in the shape of the corneum, cleanses the skin of dust, dirt, sweat and grease.
With the right approach, daily washing can not only be a hygienic method, but also a cure. To preserve the youth of your skin, train yourself to wash your face by combining water. Rinse your face several times with warm water and then cold water. Hot water enlarges pores while cold water narrows them. However, it is not recommended to wash your face with too cold or too hot water. When exposed to low temperatures, the skin becomes dry and begins to flake off. Hot water leads to persistent vasodilation and the skin becomes too sensitive to cold.
If you have dry skin, wash your face with soft water at room temperature. It is recommended to use a face cleanser no more than once a week. The exception is a special foam and gel with a therapeutic effect, designed especially for dry skin. For dry skin, wash and compress from chamomile extract, violets, rose petals, mint, lavender, ginseng root, parsley and dill. Pour 200 g of boiling water over one tablespoon of any of these ingredients. The resulting broth must be required for 20 minutes, filter, cool. For oily skin, the performance of chamomile, St. John's wort, beetroot, yarrow, plantain, cornflower, nettle, coltsfoot, eucalyptus leaves is suitable.
For oily skin, you can use any cleanser 2 times a week: morning and evening. After washing, apply nourishing cream to the skin and remove the residue after 20-30 minutes with a paper towel.
For normal skin, it is sufficient to wash one another with hot and cold clean water. But even normal skin requires some care. Washing with water with decoctions of medicinal herbs is very useful. Wash your face once a week with a viscous cloth or wipe with a cloth dipped in warm water. For normal skin, you can use almost any decoction based on medicinal herbs, because every part nourishes the skin perfectly and makes it look good.
Massage is the backbone of the basics
Daily facial massage allows you to keep it in good shape, ensures firmness and softness. Due to the constant blood flow during the massage, the blood circulation is improved, expression and age wrinkles are smooth, muscles are stimulated, which over time lose elasticity.
Rules for performing "home massage"
Facial massage allows for perfectly clean skin, because before the operation, it is important to remove make-up and wash thoroughly. In addition, the skin must be moisturized with any moisturizer or serum that has a rejuvenating effect. The latter option becomes even more optimal because the skin before the massage gets an additional "push" to rejuvenate.
It's true, there are some contraindications:
- chronic inflammatory process on the skin of the face;
- burns;
- increased facial hair.
It is most effective to do a facial massage before bed, but that does not mean that you can not resort to its help in the morning or in the afternoon. For example, eyelids in the morning allow you to lighten "night" bloating, smooth out wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, get rid of dark circles.
Important:the massage method should last no more than 10-15 minutes and for the first time the cycle time should usually be 3-5 minutes.
And now more on how to do a massage properly, where to start it and what movements to use in this.
There are many possibilities for self-massage, but the most popular is the classic one. This method is based on the physical effects on the facial skin exactly along the specified lines.
These lines include:
- line from eyebrows to hair roots;
- from the lips of the horns to the center of the ear;
- from the middle of the chin to the earlobes;
- from the wings of the nose to the temples;
- from the center of the nose up to the eyebrows.
All movements should be performed with relaxed hands, pressure and friction are not allowed. You need to start a classic massage with a light stroke with your fingertips. Gradually, the movements should become more active, even a light pat on the facial skin that allows it to warm up. But when the skin is ready, you can go to the next level.
Smooth facial wrinkles with massage
High quality facial rejuvenation at home is impossible without massage. How to get rid of wrinkles and double chin if there is no money to visit a beautician? Very simple!
The movements should not be "stroking" as in the version of the classic massage, but taps and dots. First, the problem area must be moistened a little and not with the fingers, but with the inner side of the wrist, such as "pressing" the cream into the skin.
To "destroy" a double chin, you need to use a harder massage technique. This can be both patted with the palms and clamped and even rubbed with a towel soaked in water.
Towel massage technique: put a towel in water, tear it out and roll it up with a tennis bar. Take the ends of the towel, stretch it under the chin and pull it up vigorously, as you would tie the jaw. Hold the towel in this position for a few seconds and then release it. Repeat the operation 7-10 times. A daily towel massage will yield tangible results in a few weeks.
The massage allows you to achieve the desired effect quickly. It lifts the skin, makes it firm and elastic and keeps it younger for a long time.
Homemade cosmetics - a fountain of young skin
But you will not be full of massages once together. Yes, the skin constantly gets the necessary support and the face will have a beautiful outline, but it is possible to improve the skin tone, smooth it and give it radiance only with the help of creams, lotions and masks. It is not necessary to buy them, because almost any cosmetic can be made at home and its properties will not be worse than those on the shelves in the store. How and from what to make high quality cosmetics at home? How to use it properly and are there contraindications to the use of such funds? Let's figure it out now.
Homemade Face Cream There are many recipes for making homemade face cream. Here are just a few of them.

Pour boiling water over the mint and keep the fire for 10 minutes. After cooling, filter the infusion and pour the ingredients into it. Such a lotion is very good in the summer, because in addition to its main function - to cleanse the skin - it also performs one more thing - refreshing.
Homemade face cream - the most effective recipes
An effective cream for rejuvenating the facial skin should not contain artificial preservatives and other substances. Here are some recipes for effective wrinkle creams.
Creamy face cream
To make 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 any cognac. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until smooth. The cream iscan be used immediately after preparation and can also be stored. Transfer the mass into a glass container and close it with a lid (but not metal), remove it in a cool and dark place.
Such a cream is applied on a thick layer, almost like a mask. Exposure time is at least 20 minutes. After the operation, the cream must be washed with warm water.
The effect is amazing! The skin is smooth, even, elastic and this result is achieved after the first use.
Oatmeal anti-expression wrinkle cream
A random amount of oatmeal is mixed with one teaspoon of glycerin, one teaspoon of camphor and one egg yolk. It is necessary to use such a cream only on the area that mimics wrinkles, as it has high penetration. When applied to other facial areas, it can disrupt the natural production of collagen. The exposure time of the "oatmeal" cream is 1 hour. After the operation, the mixture must be washed with warm water. You can not store the cream!
Homemade natural anti-wrinkle masks
The mask is a great tool for completing the facial skin process. There are natural masks in stores, but you can buy them only to spend money. Or you can save money by creating your own mask at home.
So, here are some recipes for good wrinkle removal.
Oil mask
Mix a tablespoon of soft butter with egg yolk from one egg, a tablespoon of apple grated on a fine grater and one teaspoon of honey. Apply the product on cleansed facial skin, hold it for 20 minutes and remove its residue with a cotton swab dipped in water. The mask moisturizes and nourishes the skin perfectly, has a hardening effect and fights fine age-related wrinkles.
Vitamin mask from berries and vegetables
The skin also needs vitamins that are found in large quantities in the most common "garden tools": cucumbers and blackcurrants.
The cucumber must be peeled and grated on a fine grater. Take a tablespoon of the resulting cucumber flour and mix with a tablespoon of blackcurrant puree. Add a tablespoon of sour cream to the mixture and mix everything together. The mask is applied to the face for 20 minutes and then rinsed off with warm water.
Its effect is to give the skin immediate radiance and freshness. The complexion improves and with that the mood improves.
Rejuvenating face masks
Face masks show excellent results in rejuvenation. To make a homemade mask, you need white clay and serum. Dilute the ingredients in a thick sour cream, apply on the skin for 15 minutes and then rinse with water. If you have dry skin - after this procedure, wet your face with a moisturizing cream.
For oily skin, you can make cucumber, lemon and oatmeal. Chop 1 cucumber, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 100 grams of oatmeal. Dilute the mixture with chamomile broth, whey or boiled water. Apply to previously cleansed skin for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water.
Peeling for effective cleaning
Exfoliation can be performed once a week. To do this you do not need to visit living rooms, because you can perform this procedure at home. Facial cleansing is done with scrub. You can cook it yourself. The most popular cleansers are coffee and sea salt.
Add a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of sugar, 2-3 drops of lavender oil to the coffee grounds. Stir the mixture well, apply on face, rinse off after 10 minutes with warm water. For normal and dry skin, mix 1 tablespoon of sea salt with egg yolk and sour cream. Rub on face, rinse off after 10-15 minutes. For oily skin, replace sour cream with other fermented dairy products - serum, kefir, low-fat sour cream.
Do not forget that facial renewal is impossible without changes in nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. In order for the skin to be young and well-groomed, it is necessary to stop bad habits, in addition to increasing the diversity of the diet with vitamins and minerals. The diet must include foods that contain carotene, vitamin A and fiber (pumpkin, carrots, oranges, bananas and their juices, all kinds of cabbage, fish, nuts).
By using simple massage methods and homemade cosmetics, you will restore the skin before attraction and for that you do not need expensive methods in beauty salons or imported creams and masks that promise stunning results from the first day of use. As the saying goes: "Houses and walls help". And with a strong desire to change yourself for the better, you can achieve much more.
