Homemade lifting face masks: 5 best recipes!

The lifting effect is a set of effective measures to restore lost firmness and elasticity to the skin.

When many people hear the term “lifting,” they immediately imagine a surgical lift. Of course, modern plastic surgery has great potential, using new innovative techniques. But a lifting effect can also be achieved using progressive creams, masks, as well as hardware.

The years take their toll: the skin and muscle layer gradually stretch, lose their elasticity, the contours of the face “blur,” and the tissues sag. The effect of a drooping eyelid appears, the nasolabial folds deepen, and a double chin “grows.”

When the aging process is just beginning, you can get by with massage treatments, cosmetic masks, and facial gymnastics. Over time, such measures no longer have an effect; they only affect the upper layers of the dermis.

Modern anti-aging lifting methods are suitable for mature skin - they are selected individually by a cosmetologist and provide a lasting effect.

Traditional medicine recipes

Strictly speaking, lifting is a cosmetic procedure aimed at tightening the skin. Achieved through certain procedures or plastic surgery.

Recipes for face lifting at home:

Face lift masks. To make them, egg whites, honey, cucumbers, and olive oil are used. The classic version of this mask is to beat the egg white, add finely chopped fresh cucumber and apply to the face for 20-30 minutes.
Toning masks. They are made from dill seeds, oatmeal and lemon juice. Oatmeal and olive oil are added to finely chopped dill. This mask should not be repeated more than 1-2 times every 10 days.
Clay based masks. For such masks, white or blue clay is most often used with the addition of essential oils suitable for a particular skin type.
Herbal decoctions. They are used instead of anti-aging lotions. The most commonly used are chamomile, string and coltsfoot. Wash with decoctions after all makeup has been removed from the face and the skin has been thoroughly cleansed. There is no need to wash off this decoction.

We must not forget that these are masks with a strong effect and carry a large load on the skin of the face.

Therefore, there are a number of contraindications for such masks:

excess body weight;
vascular problems of the facial skin;
the presence of postoperative or post-traumatic scars;
inflammatory diseases of the facial skin;
allergic manifestations to mask components.

Cosmetic lifting procedures are aimed primarily at reducing the number of wrinkles, as well as smoothing the epidermis. They help get rid of or make less noticeable the negative age-related changes that sooner or later overtakes any woman.

The effect of such manipulations suggests:

improving the facial contour, it becomes clearer and well defined;
smoothing facial wrinkles;
improving facial tone;
stimulation of elastin production;
getting rid of double chin.

Indications for a facelift are as follows:

slight sagging of the facial contour;
fuzzy or blurry jawline;
the presence of a double chin;
the presence of facial wrinkles;
age-related changes in the skin.

Creating a lifting cream

The most common type of home lifting is the production of creams from natural ingredients. But they are used differently than ordinary classic creams.

To make the cream, you can use both homemade ingredients that are in the refrigerator of any housewife, and those that can be bought at the nearest pharmacy:

Creams made from natural ingredients. To make them, egg whites, natural yogurt or sour cream, olive oil, and honey are most often used. All ingredients are mixed and heated in a water bath.
Creams using pharmaceutical products. Here, iodine and Vaseline are most often used. It is known that iodine stimulates the thyroid gland, as a result of which metabolic processes increase. This leads to a rejuvenating effect that is visible to the naked eye. To make this cream, honey, olive oil and petroleum jelly are mixed. At the end of cooking, add a few drops of iodine.
Paraffin based cream. Paraffin is generally considered the most effective means for face lifting at home. It is melted in a water bath, a few drops of glycerin are added and applied to the face.

We must not forget that all creams prepared at home from natural ingredients have a rather short shelf life.

And it is best to make such creams immediately before using them. But if you still decide to prepare the cream with a reserve, then you only need to store it in the refrigerator and no longer than 2-3 days.

What are the advantages of laser facial skin rejuvenation?

What areas can be treated?

Radiolifting can be performed on any area of the skin. The face, neck, décolleté, abdomen and hips are often the most problematic areas for women, so these are the places that most often require correction. The procedure is used not only on individual areas of the skin; sometimes the entire body is treated with radio wave lifting, which leads to a comprehensive restoration of the clear contours of the figure.

Home face lifting device

If you want to help your skin with more radical methods, then hardware cosmetology can come to the rescue. You can contact specialized salons. But again, if there is no financial and physical opportunity, hardware lifting can be carried out at home.

Preparations for myostimulation. With their help, a contraction of muscle fibers is achieved, which stimulates their additional work. Most often, the 60 Second Neck Toner Rio myostimulator and ESMA 12.01 IMio light are used for this purpose.

Devices based on galvanic currents and radio frequency waves. These are iontophoresis and phonoresis

Darsonvalization. The most popular type of home lifting. When used, the skin of the face is exposed to high-frequency pulsed currents. With the help of such a device, you can not only maintain the beauty and youth of your face, but also successfully fight cellulite.

Almost all devices for home use are based on the principles of physiotherapy. Therefore, they cannot cause any harm to health.

Minimally invasive surgeries

Minimally invasive surgery involves operating through pinpoint punctures of tissue. During such operations, skin dissections are minimal, so they are less traumatic, unlike classical plastic surgery. There are several popular minimally invasive procedures that can quickly restore facial skin.

Endoscopic lifting

Endoscopic lifting is a facelift procedure through small incisions. The operation leaves virtually no scars, which is why it is often called a “seamless lift.” Endoscopic surgery is indicated for women with minor age-related changes (descent of the eyebrows, the appearance of facial wrinkles in the forehead and in the corners of the eyes). The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon gains access to the necessary areas through small incisions. Using special instruments, the doctor tightens the skin and muscle structure, and also removes facial wrinkles.

Thread lifting

Thread facelift is the introduction under the skin of biocompatible threads (made of gold, caprolac, polylactic acid), which are fixed in a certain position. Over time, connective tissue forms around the implanted threads, which keeps the skin from sagging.

The thread lifting procedure is performed by a surgeon under local anesthesia. Unlike plastic and endoscopic surgeries, this method is safer and has fewer contraindications.

Deep home lifting

Deep face lifting combines a number of procedures. For him, it will not be enough to simply apply a mask to his face or lubricate it with cream. Only a set of procedures will give the desired effect.

The classic deep lifting scheme looks like this. First you need to cleanse your face with a scrub, which is also made at home. The most popular is to mix 20 g of brewer's yeast, 15 g of honey, 100 g of homemade yogurt and 100 g of chopped almonds. Rub the scrub into your face for 5-7 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Ideally, after the scrub, the face is treated with a home lifting device. We talked about them above. This could be darsonvalization, radiofrequency or ultrasound devices.

After hardware lifting, a mask is applied to the face. Her choice depends on the condition of your skin and your desire. We make our own masks at home. For them, egg whites, honey, oils, and cucumbers are most often used.

After we wash off the mask, apply cream to the face. We also make it ourselves and when preparing it, we focus on skin type. You can add essential oils to any cream.

We choose them again depending on the condition of the face and the result you want to achieve. It has long been known that each essential oil has individual, unique properties.

3d

Face lifting with threads only recently began to be offered for rejuvenation, and this technique quickly found its fans. To continue the procedure, a special thread frame is introduced into the epidermal tissue, stretching the skin. 3D lifting provides a long-lasting effect; even after the threads are absorbed, the face retains its elasticity for several years. 3D lifting lasts about half an hour, there is no pain due to local anesthesia.

Effective pull-up exercises at home

In addition to masks and creams, special exercises also have a good lifting effect. The World Wide Web gives us a huge variety when choosing certain exercises.

But with their providence, there are a number of rules, the implementation of which is necessary regardless of which particular complex you have chosen:

facial gymnastics is carried out regularly and daily;
not only the muscles of the face are worked out, but also the muscles of the neck and chest;
After 1-2 months, when the effect becomes noticeable, we move from daily exercises to a complex once every 2-3 days.

The most popular exercises that do not take much time and effort include the following:

Roll a non-existent balloon in your mouth.
We inflate our cheeks and press on them with our fingers, trying to squeeze out the air. The lips remain tightly closed.
We open our mouth, push the lower jaw forward and move it in one direction and the other.
We stick out our tongue and say “Ah-ah” loudly.

Tightening with injections

Injection lifting today is one of the most popular rejuvenation methods.

Plasmolifting

Human blood contains special cells - platelets, which are responsible for skin coagulation processes. But in addition, platelets contain substances that accelerate cell division. During plasmolifting, plasma is injected into the skin (facial lifting is performed by a cosmetologist under local anesthesia). Before the plasma lifting procedure, blood is taken from the patient and placed in a test tube with a special anti-clotting substance. Next, the tubes are placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma. During the procedure, plasma is injected under the skin.

After plasma injections, epidermal cells begin to actively produce collagen and elastin, and blood circulation and metabolism processes improve. As a result, the skin becomes tighter and smoother, fine wrinkles disappear and the facial contour is restored.

Biorevitalization

Biorevitalization is the injection of hyaluronic acid under the skin. Today this is the most popular method of correction and prevention of cosmetic imperfections.

Hyaluronic acid restores water balance in epidermal cells, promoting their rejuvenation and accelerating metabolic processes. In addition, this substance is a powerful antioxidant that destroys free radicals and slows down the aging process.

The advantages of this procedure include “fast” and “slow” results. Immediately after the injection, wrinkles disappear and the skin becomes tightened. A week later, the epidermis begins to actively produce its own hyaluronic acid, as a result of which the complexion changes, the skin becomes smooth and velvety.
