Yeast mask
Brewer's yeast is known for maintaining the natural pH balance of the skin. Yeast masks do an excellent job of cleansing the epidermis. After them, the skin surface becomes fresher and tighter.
A yeast balm for aging facial skin is being prepared based on olive oil. It must be first cold pressed and unrefined. This oily solution easily enters tissue cells, delivering beneficial substances from other components of olive oil.
The recipe contains a yeast mask, which includes 10-15 g of:
- brewer's yeast;
- olive oil;
- natural honey;
- sweet almond oil.
The ingredients are mixed and the bowl with them is placed in a warm place for 30 minutes. This time is enough to activate the yeast. The procedure is performed with the mixture in a volume of 1 tbsp. l. The face is smeared with a thick layer of the mixture, left for 18-20 minutes, and washed off with lukewarm water.
There is no need to prepare the composition in reserve - it should always be fresh.
The beneficial effect of the mask is explained by the oils it contains, so the epidermis will not be tight and dry. But masks with yeast for aging dermis are not recommended for those with a skin predisposition to the appearance of redness.
Recommendations for home use of anti-aging masks
In order for skin care masks to have a more noticeable effect, it is important not only to choose the right components, but also to organize the procedure itself.
The following tips will be useful:
- The main key to success in home care is regularity. Masks should be applied once to twice a week, in courses of 10–15 procedures.

Features of skin care after 45 years
Age-related changes sooner or later occur in the body of every woman. In cosmetology, it is generally accepted that at the age of 45, youth gives way to maturity, which means that the entire body begins to rebuild in a new way.
First of all, the level of the most important female hormone - estrogen, the hormone of beauty and youth, is reduced. This affects the condition of the skin - they lose elasticity and firmness, become drier and become covered with wrinkles. After 45 years, pigment spots begin to appear, the number of moles, papillomas and other formations increases .
Facial care in adulthood should be regular, thorough and intensive. At the same time, the list of measures to preserve the youth and beauty of the skin should include not only cosmetic procedures. The rules that must be followed to preserve youth are as follows:

It is enough to mix a few drops of any oil with the yolk and place the mixture on the face for 2 minutes. The epidermis will immediately respond with rejuvenation and freshness. The mask will work for 2-3 days, then you need to repeat the procedure, alternating oil esters, and buy eggs from farmers.

Homemade anti-aging mask recipes
To maintain an even complexion and reduce the severity of wrinkles after 45 years, the skin needs regular care. Of course, it’s easier to visit a cosmetologist who will do everything for you, but this is not an option for everyone. Some people don’t have enough financial resources, others don’t have enough time to go to beauty salons. In this case, masks become indispensable assistants. Many ingredients are presented on the shelves of pharmacy kiosks, and their prices are quite affordable. If you don’t be lazy, but get together and take some time for yourself, the result will not take long to arrive.
Despite the obvious benefits, many components of anti-aging masks can cause allergic reactions. Choose products that are safe for you or do a skin sensitivity test on a small area before using them.
Firming masks
The use of masks after 45 years helps in replenishing collagen and elastin, which are no longer produced in the body in the required volume. Penetrating into the deep layers of the epidermis, the beneficial components of the masks help connective tissue cells maintain connections with each other, thereby increasing the elasticity of the skin.
Here are some simple mask recipes for tightening facial skin:
With gelatin
To prepare the mask:
- Take 5 grams of edible gelatin (1 tsp), add 50 ml of water.

Why do so many recipes contain gelatin? Because gelatin is a dried mass obtained by long boiling of animal bones and cartilage. In other words, this is collagen protein, which aging skin lacks. Gelatin stimulates blood circulation in the epidermis, serves as a source for strengthening protein fibers, cleanses pores, and has a whitening effect to reduce pigmentation. After removing this film mask, the skin becomes velvety and smooth.

Care instructions
After 45 years, hormonal changes begin to occur in a woman’s body. Since collagen production in the skin decreases at this age, it becomes thinner, loses its former elasticity and becomes dry. Also, with age, the face loses volume due to natural loss of fat.
The main rules of skin care are consistency and regularity. This means that it is necessary to cleanse, moisturize and nourish the skin daily, and make masks 1-2 times a week, and not occasionally.
Mature skin requires more moisture, so moisturizers become an integral part of daily care. But care should always begin with thorough cleansing. For this purpose, you can also use homemade remedies that you have made yourself. For example, facial lotion can be made from herbal decoctions or aloe juice. Once a week you can use a steam bath for your face.
The skin definitely needs protection from the sun, so daytime products must certainly contain sunscreen filters.
In skin care after 45 years, it is impossible to do without masks. They refresh the skin, smooth out wrinkles and strengthen the oval of the face. The ingredients of masks can be vegetables, fruits, gelatin, honey, dairy and fermented milk products, clay. There are some surface-acting substances that help in skin care.
- Vitamin A, when applied superficially, is better than other vitamins in relieving skin from dryness. It increases the amount of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin fibers in the skin. It is vitamin A that can correct the damage caused to the skin by the sun. The skin after creams and masks with this vitamin looks elastic, refreshed, and wrinkles become less pronounced. Vitamin A in oil can be purchased at a regular pharmacy and added to homemade masks and care products.
- Vitamin E is a powerful fat-soluble antioxidant that penetrates easily into the skin. It helps the skin retain moisture and slows down the formation of wrinkles. Vitamin E is found in sufficient quantities in cold-pressed vegetable oils. Olive oil is very beneficial for mature skin, so it should be added to masks and massaged with it. Avocado, wheat germ, argan, and rosehip oils are also useful.
- Vitamin C , unlike the previous two, is water soluble. When applied to the skin, it can slow down the destruction of collagen fibers and accelerate their synthesis. This vitamin also moisturizes the skin well, preventing it from dehydration. This vitamin can be bought at the pharmacy in ampoules and added to homemade masks, or natural products containing vitamin C can be used in masks. For example, seasonal masks made from red and black currants will enrich the skin with this vitamin. But to get a lasting positive result, you need to nourish your skin with vitamin C at least once every 3 days.
- Essential oils have earned the reputation of universal healing and cosmetic products. Oils of rose, sandalwood, geranium, frankincense, and ylang-ylang are especially useful for mature skin. You can add them to homemade nourishing and moisturizing masks, or mix them with suitable fatty oils and use them for facial massage or instead of cream.
- Decoctions of medicinal herbs are common natural remedies for oral administration, which are often neglected in the case of cosmetic use. And in vain, because such decoctions can really saturate the skin with useful microelements and smooth out wrinkles. For the sake of experiment, you can brew yarrow herb and make applications for the face and neck with this decoction. 2 tablespoons of the herb are poured into 200 ml of boiling water, the container is covered with a towel, and after an hour the decoction is ready. The resulting amount is enough for two uses. So much boiling water is added to the broth so that it becomes warm, a terry or gauze napkin is soaked in it and applied to the face and neck for 10-15 minutes. After the procedure, wrinkles become noticeably smaller, the skin is slightly brightened and takes on a fresh appearance. The decoctions will also be good when added to homemade masks, as well as when making cosmetic ice.
Gelatin mask
Gelatin is collagen, and this substance is extremely necessary for aging skin. And the gelatin mask will fill the missing substance.
But it is very time-consuming (about 1.5 hours) required to compose and apply the mixed mix. Therefore, it is worth starting home cosmetology on a day off.
Required:
- dilute the gelatin with hot water (as indicated on the package) and let it swell;
- After the time indicated on the package, place the swollen mass in a water bath;
- after dissolution, gelatin must be cooled to 36.6 ° C;
- Apply to the face, chin, neck, avoiding the areas around the eyes.
The gelatin mask must be applied in several layers. This is convenient to do with a thick brush. Stand for 30 minutes. You must be in a supine and relaxed position at all times. The seized mask in the form of a film is not rinsed with water, but is removed by pulling it off by the edge.
This event is held once a month. The epidermis will acquire a fresh and youthful appearance for more than one year. The skin texture will even out, blood flow will increase, and the spider veins will disappear. The complexity of execution does not prevent the gelatin mask from being among the top effective for skin surfaces that have lost elasticity and are covered with multiple wrinkles.
Celandine mask
Often the fading dermis is covered with pigmentation. And the herb celandine will help whiten the appearance of lentigo and chloasma - they certainly do not decorate the face of a mature woman. But the mask requires a fresh plant. A distinctive property of celandine is its orange-colored juice, which appears when leaves or stems are broken off.
The balm for the face with aging skin contains finely chopped celandine (it must be freshly picked) and the juice of a recently picked cucumber. The skin is lubricated with a cocktail, the face is covered with a moistened terry cloth. The mask lasts for 15-20 minutes.
The procedure is done once every 7-8 days using only fresh herbs until the age spots disappear.
Oil mask
Cocktails containing olive oil and esters will help restore tone to dry, dull skin:
- roses;
- rosehip;
- incense;
- sage;
- patchouli.
A mix is prepared from 100 ml of unrefined, cold-pressed olive oil with the addition of 5 drops of each ester. The preparation is stored in a bottle and used in the evenings in a lukewarm state.
The procedure begins with steaming the clean epidermis, onto which an oil mask is applied immediately after the bath manipulation. It stays on the face and neck for 15 minutes, and the excess is removed with a soft cloth.
The skin will absorb the oily mixture, which will concentrate in the upper layer of the skin. As a result, after 7 days, the overdried dermis will be transformed and become refreshed and rejuvenated.

A homemade mask for skin after 45 years rejuvenates no worse than a store-bought one. The main thing is to include the right components:
- Vitamin A replenishes the reserves of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the layers of the epidermis, which is why the face becomes toned and refreshed. Even wrinkles cannot resist and gradually begin to smooth out. The vitamin can be bought at a pharmacy. It is usually sold in oil form, so you just need to add it to your mask or cream.
- Vitamin E easily penetrates the structure of the epidermis, retaining moisture. Thanks to this, wrinkles appear more slowly or do not bother you at all. You can find the vitamin in cold-pressed vegetable oil. Olive and argan oils are the most popular, but avocado, flax and rosehip products are also suitable.
- Vitamin C slows down the destruction of collagen and promotes the active production of this protein. It prevents dehydration, keeping the skin hydrated. Liquid vitamin C can be found at the pharmacy or you can use natural ingredients. Such products include currants, strawberries, and tomatoes.
- Essential oils, which in small quantities can significantly rejuvenate the face. It is worth paying attention to the oil of rose, sandalwood, geranium, ylang-ylang, myrrh. Esters are concentrates, so it is not recommended to use them in large quantities.
- Herbs contain beneficial microelements that mature skin so needs. Typically, herbs serve as the basis for preparing decoctions that are added to care products. To get rid of wrinkles, chamomile, lemon balm, lavender, sage, aloe and calendula are used.
After selecting the necessary components, all that remains is to regularly apply the mixture to your face. After 10-20 repetitions, the condition of the dermis will noticeably improve.
