Closer to 35, the skin loses its youth and potential. The moisture is not so actively retained, the face gradually "calms down" and the first wrinkles appear around the lips and eyes. It is important not to miss this moment by diluting the usual care with antiaging products. And homemade masks can help with this.
Face masks 30+
After 30 years, even oily skin types need regular hydration, but it's too early to forget about matting agents. But for the owners of a "dry" face, it is time to wake up - moisturizing masks should be alternated with those aimed at restoring and renewing the epidermis.Although the transition from young to mature skin should not be accompanied by extremes.Overly nutritious products only make wrinkles more visible, and the passion for "heavy artillery" can lead to sagging. Care should be tailored to the needs of the skin. So you can experiment by combining masks with different effects.
Instructions for use
Moisture and rejuvenation masks labeled "30+" are used to solve various problems:
- first age-related changes;
- Wrinkles, including imitation;
- Pigmentation;
- Gravitational ptosis - sagging of the face under the influence of gravity;
- pronounced nasolabial folds;
- "Bulldog cheeks";
- Double chin;
- Dullness, dehydration, flaking, and dry skin.
Rules of application and frequency of use of masks
Homemade products are only applied to previously prepared skin.Before the main procedure, you need to remove makeup and cleanse your face. Using a scrub or scrub increases its effectiveness. Steam baths also increase the effectiveness of care. But be careful, they are contraindicated in cardiovascular disease, thin skin, rosacea and rosacea.
Fresh food and non-metallic utensils are used to mix the masks. You need to apply the product immediately after preparation - remember that the natural ingredients deteriorate quickly.
The optimal exposure time for each mask is 10-30 minutes. There's no point keeping it on your face for less or longer - the active ingredients simply don't have time to be absorbed or to stop working. However, the frequency of use depends entirely on the condition of the skin: 1 to 3 times a week.
The mask can remain on the face until it is completely absorbed, but drying it is usually undesirable - regularly spray the applied mixture with water.
