Facelift at home

Salon beauty treatments are very effective, but quite expensive and not available to everyone on a regular basis. And they alone are still not enough to always stay young and beautiful. In any case, the skin needs constant and quality home care. And lifting masks should become an integral part of women over the age of 30.

Causes of skin aging

As we age, irreversible changes begin in the human body. And since the skin is the largest organ, they appear on it first. It gets drier, loses its firmness and elasticity, is covered in wrinkles and sags with nasty wrinkles.

The main reasons for such transformations are:

• changes in hormone levels;
• decreased collagen and elastin production;
• decrease in skin moisture;
• negative environmental effects;
• bad habits;
• lack of sleep and stress;
• various chronic diseases.

The process of aging cannot be completely stopped even with professional high-tech methods.

However, with the regular and correct use of home lifting masks for facial rejuvenation, you can keep your skin in good condition for a long time, even without applying radical measures.

Who needs a mask

Beauticians recommend making moisturizing and nourishing face masks at least once a week after 25 years. Due to constant stress and unfavorable ecology, the skin begins to suffer at this age and needs support.

But do not rush with the lifting masks. Further stimulation is only warranted after 30-35 years, when the rate of natural cell regeneration decreases and the first signs of aging appear:

• lack of natural light in the skin;
• yellowish or grayish complexion;
• deepening of mimic wrinkles;
• sagging and lifeless skin;
• drooping of the corners of the lips and eyes;
• appearance of horizontal rings on the neck;
• express double consists;
• hyperpigmentation of the skin;
• feeling dry and peeling;
• oval swelling of the face;
• bulldog faces that appear.

In addition, it is highly advisable not to wait until these negative signs are fully manifested. The sooner you start using effective masks, the better the result will be.

Application rules

The result depends largely on the correct application of lifting masks. Ignorance of the principles of their use can nullify all efforts, and even the most expensive tools do not bring the expected effect:

• the composition of the mask should be chosen taking into account the specific characteristics of the skin;
• it is recommended to perform an allergy test before the first use;
• masks according to folk recipes are made immediately before use;
• the skin should be thoroughly cleansed before the procedure, and peeling should be performed;
• the masks are applied in layers, evenly distributed with a brush along the massage lines;
• then you should lie down calmly with your eyes closed and not talk;
• the film mask is removed from the chin in an upward motion;
• Hardened masks should first be soaked by covering your face with a damp cloth for 3-5 minutes.

After thoroughly washing the product, apply a mild moisturizer or gel to the skin. The frequency of application of lifting masks shall not exceed 2 times per week. You can take a multivitamin or nutrient again. On other days, the skin needs to rest - it’s also not worth overloading.

After a rejuvenation course of 10-15 procedures, there should be a break of at least one and a half months and then it can be repeated.

The best masks

A good lifting face mask should contain moisturizing and nourishing ingredients to continue to care for your skin. But that's not enough for him to tighten.

Manufacturers add biologically active high-tech ingredients to masks purchased today: liquid collagen, elastin, placenta extract, stem cells, nanosilver, and more. Of course, the price is high, but the results after application are simply fantastic.

But natural remedies also work well. It only takes a long time to achieve the same effect. And it is very important to choose the right composition that will be ideal for your skin. Therefore, it is better to consult a beautician and listen to his advice.

Professional

Today you can buy a good professional lifting mask online or in specialty stores. Its main advantage is its high efficiency - after a few applications, clear, better-looking changes can be seen on the face.

The main disadvantage is the rather high price due to the presence of high-tech biologically active components.

The second major problem is that such intensive masks are not suitable for everyone - they often cause allergic reactions. Therefore, it is advisable to buy and use a probe first.

Natural

In ordinary cosmetics stores you can buy lifting masks based on natural ingredients: plant extracts, essential oils, seaweed. They can be used more often - with an intensive cure, even every other day.

Folk

If you are not lazy, you can make good anti-aging masks at home according to folk recipes. There are many of them, but most of them are based on the same ingredients: cosmetic clay, yeast, natural and essential oils, honey, decoctions or herbal tinctures.

Here are the three most popular, easiest, and most effective homemade face mask recipes:

1. Clay. On two tablespoons of cosmetic clay (preferably white or green) pour a tablespoon of fresh grape juice and add a teaspoon of peach, olive or wheat germ oil. Mix well, apply on face and hold until completely dry. Don't move or talk! The mask has an excellent rejuvenating effect, perfectly cleanses and tightens pores, improves complexion.
2. With retinol. Such masks are suitable for those who have problems with oily skin - they regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands and perfectly strengthen the capillaries, allowing it to get rid of the vascular network. In a tablespoon of homemade cream or sour cream, add two ampoules of retinol (or 10 drops) and the drilled aloe paste. Hold for at least half an hour.
3. Ginger. It perfectly improves blood circulation, speeds up metabolic processes, tightens and rejuvenates the skin. Add a teaspoon of honey, the same amount of freshly squeezed ginger juice, half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to a tablespoon of flaxseed oil. If the mask is too fluid, you can thicken it with pea or rice flour. Apply in layers along the massage lines and leave on for 15-20 minutes. In case of severe burns, wash earlier. Not recommended for very thin and sensitive skin.

You can also find or put together many other useful recipes. The most important thing to remember is not to jump from one device to another. You should use a mask for at least a month to get good results. Then you can take a break and try something new.

Contraindications

Sounds weird, but there are contraindications to using lifting masks. There are few of them and they are mainly related to the specifics of the composition of these cosmetics. You cannot use them:

• Before reaching the age of 30;
• six months after any plastic surgery on the face;
• violation of skin integrity;
• for purulent pimples and dermatological problems;
• with severe rosacea;
• in the late stages of obesity.

The use of professional aloe products and masks is strictly prohibited for cancer patients - they can aggravate their course and accelerate tumor growth.

Recording the result

To increase the effect of lifting face masks, you need to rethink your diet and make at least a small lifestyle change. Experts advise you to follow the recommendations below:

• give up bad habits - nicotine and alcohol dry out the skin and accelerate aging;
• add fresh fruits and vegetables, fatty fish, seeds and nuts, wholemeal bread and cereals to the menu;
• drink at least 1. 5 liters of clean, still water daily;
• limit coffee consumption to 1-2 cups per day;
• refuses to visit the solarium, do not sunbathe;
• before going out in the sun, protect your face with UV filter cream.

It is very helpful to massage your face regularly and, if possible, perform a hardware cosmetic procedure every six months at home or in a salon.

In summary

Most women say that at home, especially after the age of 35, quality facelifts cannot be performed using only a mask. However, they are a great help in the fight to preserve beauty and youth. In combination with other anti-aging treatments, they give remarkable results.

Of course, high-quality professional products, properly selected and applied, work better than masks made exclusively on a natural basis. This is not surprising - the formulas of leading manufacturers are developed by top-class professionals in modern scientific laboratories. Therefore, if it is possible to buy such masks at least once a year, it is worth doing.

But home remedies should not be neglected either. The skin responds to any vitamin and mineral nutrition, improves complexion, increases turgor and reduces the number of wrinkles. The most important thing is regular care and quality cleaning. Therefore, when using masks, peeling should be performed at least once a week. It helps to loosen pores and remove the top layer of dead epithelial cells. This means that the skin will be able to breathe and the nutrients in the lifting masks will penetrate deeper.
