The most effective anti-wrinkle masks - 20 best recipes

I think that every woman would like to remain charming, beautiful, and most importantly, young throughout her long life.

And how the first wrinkles begin to upset us is difficult to convey in words.

In the course of an active fight against them, we are ready to visit various beauty salons, doing anti-aging procedures there, and some, the bravest ones, even agree to take more radical measures in order to preserve youth: aggressive peeling, Botox or hyaluronic acid injections, insertion of gold threads and even surgical intervention.

However, there are very effective, painless and inexpensive methods of combating wrinkles.

One of these effective methods is traditional medicine, and in particular, homemade face masks for wrinkles.

Causes of wrinkles

One of the main reasons why wrinkles appear on the face is a lack of collagen. Collagen is a special type of protein produced in connective tissues. The trouble is that the decrease in its quantity begins already at the age of 20.

The next most important reason is poor nutrition, as well as bad habits, non-compliance with the regime, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor sleep.

Can't this be stopped? It is impossible to stop, but we can delay it. Sofia Rotaru, Edita Piekha and other women are examples for everyone.

Well, you say, they are singers! Yes, it seems that they have everything they need for beauty. But we must not forget that endless flights, eating on the go, and the stress of going on stage do not add youth. This means you can postpone the approach of old age. And you need to take charge of yourself right from this minute!

The most effective recipes

You will have to choose the most effective recipes empirically, since everyone’s skin is different and reactions are individual. When choosing recipes, be sure to consider your skin type. So, if the skin is prone to dryness, formulations with the addition of oils, yolk, and fatty dairy products (sour cream, cream) are better suited for them. For oily skin, formulations containing drying ingredients (clay, lemon juice) are more suitable.

Egg-honey

Eggs and honey are two ingredients that are excellent anti-aging agents. Therefore, masks using these components are incredibly popular. Here are some proven effective recipes:

Composition and beneficial properties of masks

The rich recipe of homemade masks for expression wrinkles contains almost the same components, which, in combination with additional components, give one or another effect.

Classic components, in order of importance:

• Olive oil;
• Essential oils (sold ready-made in pharmacies);
• Gelatin;
• Starch;
• Honey;
• Fruit and berry purees;
• Chicken yolk;
• Clay;
• Cereals;
• Cucumbers;
• Fermented milk products (cottage cheese, sour cream);
• Hydrogen peroxide;
• Bodyaga;
• Aloe juice;
• Cosmetic clay (sold in pharmacies, supermarkets);
• Rice;
• Vegetables (potatoes, carrots, cabbage) raw;

• Parsley and dill;
• Fish fat;
• Glycerol;
• Kelp;
• Cosmetic wax (paraffin).

All these substances have similar properties. They moisturize the skin, which is an important aspect in eliminating the problem. Fermented milk products are especially famous for this, as they create a barrier on the surface of the skin, preventing moisture from evaporating.

Fruit acids, as well as oils, have excellent nutritional properties. They saturate the epidermis at the cellular level with all the necessary vitamins and microelements, preventing premature withering. The lifting effect is created by gelatin, glycerin, and chicken yolk. They tighten skin that has lost its tone and thereby make the facial contour more distinct.

Contraindications

These were just the main components. But, despite the natural origin of homemade masks, there are still contraindications.

They are not recommended for use:

• In case of individual intolerance to the components.
• The presence of rosacea, vascular network. The following folk remedies stimulate blood circulation, which will lead to subsequent dilation of blood vessels and bursting vessels will be even more noticeable.

It's time to shave! Look what kind of skin men have. They have almost no wrinkles, and all because they shave and grimace at the same time.

Women also came up with their own way of shaving.

2. Apply cream to your face for better glide.

Where do wrinkles come from?

There are two main types of wrinkles: facial (dynamic) and static. The first, as the name implies, are formed due to the fact that our face is in constant motion, even if we ourselves are not aware of it. We all frown, laugh, smile, wrinkle our noses, and cry from time to time. In the process, grooves naturally appear on the corresponding areas of our face, caused by muscle contraction, which disappear simultaneously with the “disappearance” of a certain emotion.

Over time, due to certain factors, such as age, dry skin, loss of elasticity, the structure changes, and then we have to talk about the appearance of static wrinkles that do not disappear anywhere and are visible even at rest. The problem is faced not only by older people, but also by fairly young people - after 35 years of age, or even earlier.

Deep wrinkles in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle, cheeks, and chin may be a consequence of gravitational ptosis, that is, sagging of the oval of the face. The quality of the skin, and therefore the severity of wrinkles, can be affected by genetics, poor environment, bad habits, stress, insufficient care, constant exposure to sunlight and other unfavorable external factors.

Olga Guryanova explains that if a particular woman’s facial activity is very high, it is better to immediately seek advice from a cosmetologist and resolve the issue with botulinum toxin injections. At the same time, there is no need to be afraid of unwanted reactions - the specialist will conduct a thorough examination and tell you in detail about the indications and contraindications for the procedure. This cosmetic technique helps to relax the muscles without depriving them of activity. Thus, the doctor is able to simultaneously combat pronounced expression wrinkles and avoid the undesirable effect of the mask.

If we talk about static wrinkles, then methods of dealing with them also require mandatory discussion with a specialist. Olga Sergeevna explains that the presence of rough creases requires the mandatory work of a dermatocosmetologist.
