Anti-aging masks after 50 years: effective recipes

With age, metabolic processes in the body slow down, cell regeneration is worse, less collagen and elastin are produced, and the subcutaneous fat layer becomes thinner.

Negative physiological changes become more intense in women after 50 years of age due to hormonal changes in the body. Age is most clearly “imprinted” on the face: wrinkles deepen, the skin becomes thin, flabby, sagging, and age spots appear.

Some women's reluctance to come to terms with the changes that are taking place brings them to the plastic surgeon's office. However, face masks for wrinkles prepared according to folk recipes after 50 years at home will help solve many problems without a surgical facelift, after which they sometimes fall into a coma. The use of natural products makes the use of homemade masks safe and effective.

Chamomile decoction is useful for washing off masks; it will additionally nourish the skin

The resulting decoction can be frozen and wiped with ice cubes on the face and neck in the morning. This is a great tonic.

Rules of application

Simply applying a rejuvenating mask to your face is not enough. Before applying the product, the skin must be prepared. At home, facial care can be divided into four stages .

1. The first thing you need to do during a rejuvenating procedure is to steam your face. This is necessary so that the pores open and the epidermis absorbs beneficial substances most effectively. You can make a steam bath using plain water, but it is better to take a decoction of herbs - chamomile, St. John's wort, string, calendula, birch buds, etc. Bend your face over a bowl of hot broth, cover your head with a towel and steam your skin for about 5 minutes.
2. The second stage is skin cleansing. To do this, use a scrub. It can also be made at home from natural ingredients. Simply mix one part exfoliating product and two parts soft. Coffee grounds, sugar, salt or crushed oatmeal are most often used as a scrubbing product. The basis for the scrub can be: sour cream, soft cottage cheese, cream (good for oily skin), honey and milk (for dry skin).
3. Cleansing is followed, in fact, by applying a rejuvenating mask. As a rule, moisturizers are applied to the face and décolleté for 15-20 minutes.
4. The last stage is to remove the mass that has released useful substances using a clean napkin and warm water, milk or herbal decoction.

There are several more rules regarding facial care using anti-aging masks:

• the ingredients for the product must be fresh;
• You can store the mixture only if it is provided for in the recipe, use the finished mixture immediately, and throw away the rest;
• The product should be applied to a prepared face with clean hands or a brush to prevent the possibility of infection.

How to use masks correctly at home

In adulthood, facial skin is mostly dry, so it is better to do nourishing and moisturizing masks three times a week. For normal and sensitive types, once or twice every 7 days is enough. Apply the mask evenly, in a thick layer, along the massage lines. Be careful in the areas around the eyes and mouth.

To achieve greater effect, it is recommended to apply masks along massage lines.

Before using the mask, you need to clean and steam your skin. After the procedure, sprinkle your face with thermal or mineral water and avoid makeup for several hours.

How to properly carry out care procedures

There are many facial care procedures. We will only consider applying lifting masks to aging facial skin. Rules of conduct when performing facial treatments are below:

1. Cleanse your skin of cosmetics and dust. Wash your face and pat your face dry with a towel. The ideal option would be to pre-steam your face over steam with herbs or use products that dilate pores.
2. Prepare the mask mixture. Do this immediately before applying the mask: do not allow the mixture to stand in the open air for more than 10 minutes. The use of previously prepared mixtures is prohibited.
3. Apply the finished composition from bottom to top . Use a circular massage application.
4. Lie down, relax. The mask should harden. Do not talk during the procedure to avoid composition displacement.
5. Wash off the mask after 15 minutes unless otherwise specified in the recipe. As has been repeatedly noted in other articles, do not try to dry your face with a towel after washing your face.
6. After completing the procedure, lubricate dry facial skin with cream. It's better if it's not greasy. Wipe the normal and sebaceous surface of the dermis with tonic.
7. The course of a mask of one composition is 1 month. During this time, 12 procedures must be performed.

Be sure to test for allergic reactions. This should be the main rule for any action involving the application of foreign substances to the skin.
