What criteria should effective face masks meet?

To make the right choice of folk remedy for facial skin care, you need to know what the result should be after use and how soon it will be noticeable.

The most effective face masks are those that allow you to get the expected result in the shortest possible time and for a long time. A single use of a product to obtain a prolonged action will never be enough, and if the result is not visible after the first use, you should not blacklist the mask. Perhaps after a month's course you will notice not only obvious, but also long-lasting positive changes.

Usually, the effectiveness of a mask can be assessed only after 8-10 procedures, carried out at intervals of 2-3 days. Although there are recipes aimed at obtaining an instant effect, although it does not last long.

As a rule, effective face masks are made not from exotic products, but from those that grow where you live. They are also less likely to cause allergic reactions. Safety is one of the criteria for a good product.

The effect of the mask will only be if it suits your skin type, otherwise the result obtained will be exactly the opposite of what you expect.

How to use anti-aging and firming masks

To get the maximum effect from using anti-aging and firming face masks at home, you must follow certain rules:

• Never neglect advice on conducting an allergy test, especially if the product contains: honey, essential oils, exotic fruits.
• Use only fresh and high-quality products to prepare homemade cosmetics.
• Use freshly prepared masks - they spoil quickly and do not contain preservatives.
• Follow the recipe and exposure time.
• Apply and remove masks along massage lines without stretching the skin.
• Try not to let the mask dry out or crack, otherwise it may damage your skin.
• Choose a mask based on your skin type.
• Use masks in courses: 8-10 sessions with an interval of 2-3 days.

Caring for the skin around the eyes

The skin around the eyes experiences the greatest undesirable changes with age - wrinkles, puffiness, and other defects appear. Often the cause of disorders is a small number of sebaceous glands; the thin delicate skin around the eyes becomes dry, requiring special cosmetic care.

Relieving puffiness under the eyes

To quickly get rid of puffiness and dark circles under the eyes, prepare the following ingredients:

• 10 g white clay;
• 15 g sour cream;
• 5 ml pomegranate oil

All ingredients are thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous mass is obtained. To apply a rejuvenating mask, use a thin material (you can take a napkin) that covers the skin. The mass is distributed over it in an even layer.

After a quarter of an hour, the napkin should be removed. Such compresses have a long-lasting effect if you repeat them 1-2 times a week.

Mask with lifting effect

To prepare, you will need 20 g of chopped pumpkin, pre-baked in the oven, and 10 g of wheat oil. The ingredients must be mixed, applied to the skin around the eyes and kept for no more than 10 minutes. Everything is removed with a sponge, after which it is better to use moisturizers - gel with hyaluronic acid.

Homemade masks for dry skin help women after forty feel much younger, more cheerful and more attractive. The natural ingredients included in their recipes are the best helpers in the fight against aging and do not cause negative reactions in the body.

Anti-aging face masks after 40

   You will need aloe juice and honey, which you need to take in equal parts. Melt honey in a water bath and mix with juice.

   Apply the product to your face with a brush, avoiding the area near the eyes (use these masks for eyes). It is better to use it warm. Wait a quarter of an hour, rinse with warm water, and pat your face dry with a soft towel.

3. Wheat germ mask for any type of dermis
   Grind a heaping tablespoon of sprouted wheat in a blender or coffee grinder. Mix with sour cream (for dry skin), yogurt (for normal skin) or kefir (for oily skin) to create a thick, easy-to-apply consistency.

   Apply to face, wait 20 minutes, rinse with warm water.

4. Smoothing Kaolin Mask
   Very effective face masks after 40 years are made based on clay. The basis for this mask is white clay (a heaped tablespoon). It is diluted with mineral water. After that, you should add a capsule of vitamin E and a teaspoon of base oil suitable for your skin type (for oily skin - grape seed, for normal - peach or almond, for dry - olive or almond).

   To enhance the tightening effect, you can add kelp to the mask (pre-fill a teaspoon of brown algae powder with a tablespoon of mineral water, let it swell, squeeze out the excess liquid and use it as one of the ingredients).

5. Pink clay mask
   Dissolve a spoonful of pink clay in 30 ml of green tea, add a vitamin A capsule.

   The mask exposure time is 5-15 minutes depending on skin type. Also suitable for sensitive skin. It tones the dermis well and restores its elasticity.

6. Yeast rejuvenating mask
   A tablespoon of yeast should be mixed with the same amount of heavy cream or milk (depending on skin type), add a teaspoon of honey and flaxseed oil (for oily skin, half a spoonful of oil is enough).

   All this needs to be heated in a water bath, stirring until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Afterwards, you need to remove it from the bath, wait for fermentation and apply a thick layer on the face, neck, and décolleté for 20 minutes. After the required time has passed, rinse with warm water and blot the skin with a soft cloth.

7. Yolk-lemon mask
   To prepare the mask, you need to take olive oil, lemon juice, aloe juice, and honey in equal proportions. For oily skin, you can halve the amount of oil; for dry skin, lemon juice. If you take a teaspoon of each component, then you need to add two chicken yolks to the mixture and grind. If you take only half a spoon, one yolk is enough.

   Apply the mask with a brush in several stages: apply, let it harden for 5 minutes, cover with a second layer, wait another 5 minutes, cover with a third layer, wait another 5-10 minutes and only then wash off. The mask has a comprehensive rejuvenating effect.

Signs of skin aging

The onset of 40 years in women is a kind of milestone for the body, when the aging process is more active than regeneration. Metabolism slows down, processes in cells proceed more slowly than before. All this leads to physiological changes, primarily affecting teeth, hair and skin. Signs of aging of the epidermis and indications for the use of masks:

• thinning of the skin, increased dryness;
• the appearance of wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, folds of the lips and on the forehead;
• change in facial contour;
• regular puffiness under the eyes;
• decreased firmness and elasticity of the skin;
• the appearance of pigment spots;
• development of rosacea in the form of capillary stars.

An unhealthy lifestyle, poor nutrition, climate and bad habits, such as smoking and alcohol abuse, can accelerate the onset of skin aging.

Age-related changes differ among different peoples. Statistically, African Americans, Hispanics, mulattoes and gypsies age slower than everyone else.
