Which mask to choose?

Women have been using face masks since ancient times, as they can solve a lot of problems. Homemade masks are so varied that you can alternate them every day using completely simple and inexpensive ingredients. They can relieve acne, irritation, dryness or oiliness, etc. It is important to understand which mask to choose and how they differ.

Masks are distinguished by texture:

• Film masks are a composition that, after application, turns into a film. These masks are good for oily and problem skin. They have a cleansing effect, tighten pores, remove “dead” skin particles, and also degrease and mattify the facial skin. They are sold ready-made, but can be easily made at home using gelatin;
• Cream masks are universal. Suitable for any skin type, absorbs quickly and there is no need to rinse them off;
• Fabric masks are a textile base, depending on the need, impregnated with any composition: vitamins, amino acids, minerals, etc. Such masks are effective and deliver nutritional composition not only to the superficial layers of the epidermis, but also to the deep ones. In this regard, they are often used to combat age-related changes and for problems of dry and damaged skin.

Masks are distinguished by their effect:

• Cleansing masks are used as a preliminary procedure before any other cosmetic procedure. The essence is to cleanse the surface of the dermis from sebum, dead skin particles and dirt. These masks also help fight acne;
• Moisturizing masks help restore skin and replenish water balance, which helps avoid sagging and slow down the aging process. These masks are necessary for any skin type, as thanks to them you can avoid age-related changes longer. These are the most popular masks offered in beauty salons and used at home. Most of them are based on hyaluronic acid, as it collects water molecules around itself at the cellular level and holds them;
• Nourishing masks deliver essential nutrients to the skin in the form of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. For such masks, products with a high content of vitamins A, E, C and group B are usually selected. They give the skin freshness, make it healthier and have a healing effect, eliminating various dermatological problems;
• Whitening masks are used to improve complexion and eliminate pigmentation. Typically, such masks can be combined with moisturizing or nourishing masks. The main whitening ingredient is lemon juice;
• Therapeutic masks are designed to eliminate various problems with the facial skin, such as redness, acne, irritation, microcracks, or side effects after cosmetic procedures. They soothe the skin, relieve dryness, redness and have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. For their preparation, mainly medicinal herbs and other products with medicinal effects are used.

In order for masks to have the desired effect, firstly, they must be prepared not in metal containers, but in glass or plastic, made in portions and immediately before use. Secondly, you should know your skin type so that such procedures do not give the opposite negative result.

Any masks are best done on a steamed face when the pores are enlarged.

There are five skin types:

• Combination skin is shiny and prone to problem areas in the forehead, nose and chin;
• Dry skin is characterized by a feeling of tightness, dryness, flaking, and sometimes itching. Reacts to the influence of external factors;
• Normal skin is smooth, elastic, without any problems. Sometimes a slight shine predominates in the T-zone;
• Oily (problem) skin becomes very shiny due to increased sebum production. The pores are enlarged. The skin is prone to frequent rashes;
• Sensitive skin reacts both to internal problems in the human body and to external factors. This may manifest itself in the form of allergic reactions such as redness or itching.

If you are in doubt and cannot determine your skin type, you can check it in a simple way. To do this, you need to wash your face with soap, after an hour, apply a paper towel over the entire surface of the face, pressing it, and then see how many fat spots remain on it. Oily skin will leave an imprint in 4 zones: chin, cheeks, forehead and nose. Combination and normal skin will leave 3 spots - this is the T-zone area. Dry skin will not leave marks.

Black face mask

The black face mask looks impressive! It is made quite simply from different ingredients (see recipes below). More aimed at cleansing and suitable for oily and problematic skin. Made from clay, it is suitable for obtaining a rejuvenating and firming effect. (there are nuances on how to make clay masks here->> )

Mask with gelatin

• gelatin - 1 table. spoon, water - 2 table. spoons, activated carbon – 2-3 tablets

This is the exact proportion for creating a film mask against blackheads and pimples. If you steam your face first and don’t move until it hardens, cleansing the pores is as effective as possible.

First, fill the gelatin with water and let it swell for 2-3 minutes. At this time, we crush the coal tablets. Mix and put in the microwave for 3-5 seconds, you get a thick, stretchy mass. Check that the temperature is comfortable and apply an even layer to the face until it hardens. We leave it until the skin begins to tighten and the ends of the mask begin to come off. We shoot from bottom to top. All blackheads and exfoliated particles remain on the film.

How to use a sheet face mask. Sheet mask - you're doing it all wrong!

Photo: Shao-Chun Wang/Rusmediabank.ru

It’s great that such masks have become accessible and so varied. Now fabric masks are sold in almost any supermarket, they are not so expensive, and the choice is huge. Advice to use a fabric mask can be heard very often. Didn't get enough sleep? Make a sheet mask. Is your skin dehydrated? This Korean miracle will help! Dark spots and wrinkles? Fabric-based masks will solve these problems too. One gets the feeling that these masks will help with everything. I also like the convenience that sheet or masks provide: no need to wash off, no difficulties with disposal, everything is quick and simple. But all the excitement disappears when, after several uses, we realize that the mask does not solve tasks assigned to her. Refreshing - yes, but why doesn't it make the skin brighter? Why doesn't it get rid of dark spots? Read on, maybe you're doing it all wrong. Five tips to make a sheet mask “work”: 1. Use during baths. We like wipe masks because they don’t leak and are immediately ready for use, so some people use them in the morning before leaving the house, and happy owners of a personal account use them right at their workplace. But if you want more than just a light refreshing and moisturizing effect, try making a mask while taking a bath. Warm air and water open the pores, slightly steaming your face, and your skin is ready to absorb everything valuable that is in the mask. Important advice: the mask is best done in a calm environment and state of relaxation - this way your skin will receive proper rest and nutrition. 2. Use the cooling effect. For summer time, a sheet mask is a real salvation. This is rapid cooling and hydration of the skin. To enhance the effect, place the package with the mask in the refrigerator for a few minutes before use. A cold mask is also useful to soothe the face after an intense workout, after laser treatments, or with excess sebum production. Important advice: do a cooling mask after prolonged exposure to the sun - this is a good recovery and prevention of burns. Take several masks with you when you go on vacation to the sea. 3. Try a double mask. When your skin is severely dehydrated, try giving your skincare routine a double boost. To do this, put two fabric masks on your face at once, and the skin will be moisturized very richly. It is not necessary to make duets from identical masks. Some Korean beauty salons combine morning and evening masks, moisturizing and exfoliating. Important tip: a double mask can be a real salvation after long flights and trips. In just 15 minutes you can restore all lost moisture to your skin. 4. Get a massage. The main mistake, due to which the effectiveness of a fabric mask is reduced only to a refreshing effect, is incorrect removal of the sheet. As a rule, women try to remove the mask in such a way that as little wet composition as possible remains on the face. This is not true. You need to do just the opposite. You need to leave as much of the mask composition on the skin as possible; some cosmetologists even specifically press on the mask sheet before removing it, in order to squeeze out all the moisture from the mask onto the skin. This should be followed carefully - using your fingertips and circular movements. This will allow the mask composition to be completely absorbed into the skin and penetrate deeper. Just light pats are not enough! Important tip: the massage should last at least 1 minute. 5. Don't rinse! Some people are embarrassed by the sticky feeling that appears on their face immediately after the mask, and they decide to rinse their face with water. This nullifies the entire previous procedure. There are substances (including vitamins) that must remain on the skin for several hours to do their job. By washing off the composition of the mask, you deprive yourself of the benefits that the mask is supposed to bring. By the way, the stickiness disappears without washing off the mask. This is the very first sensation, while the skin has not yet completely absorbed the mask. Just wait a few minutes and your skin will stop being sticky. Important advice: any mask is not a replacement for other cosmetic products. Therefore, after the mask you can use creams, serums, oils.

Moisturizing face mask

Moisturizing face masks are used as an aid in care. As an addition to the cream. They help cells retain more moisture. And the main thing here is not to overdo it. Do not leave the mask on for a long time. 15-20 minutes are enough to get the effect.

Banana face mask

• banana 1/2, oil - tbsp.

Mash fresh banana into puree and mix with any butter. For oily types, grape seed, jojoba, and almond are suitable. Dry – wheat germ, castor oil, flaxseed. Normal – olive, peach, avocado. Masks provide nutrition, restoration, and smooth out wrinkles.

Aloe mask

• aloe gel, vit. A and E

Aloe is an excellent natural care product. It restores structure and increases elasticity. Retinol and tocopherol will relieve dryness and normalize metabolic processes. The mask is intended for oily and problematic dermis. It is also suitable for inflamed, dry, flaky, chapped skin.

Castor mask

• castor oil, geranium essential oil

Castor oil penetrates deep into the structure of cells, restores their membranes and retains water. Apply the mixture as a mask for 10-15 minutes. Then be sure to thoroughly wipe off the residue with a dry cloth. This time is quite enough to moisturize at all levels and smooth out unevenness.

It is important to know that castor oil can cause clogged pores and swelling. Therefore, it is not recommended to keep it longer than the specified time. Cleansing procedures 1-2 times a week will allow you to avoid this effect.

What is important to remember

• Open pores are much more likely to be cleansed, so steam your skin first. You can use a homemade steam bath or place a hot towel on your face. If this is not possible, you just need to wash yourself thoroughly.
• The most convenient way to apply the mask is with a soft brush: this way you can do it in just a few seconds and won’t get your hands dirty.
• For yogurt masks, take a product with medium fat content - from 2.7 to 4.5% - and, of course, without flavoring additives.
• Even the most thoughtful home care should be done in moderation: using masks too often will have the opposite effect. In order not to think later about how to get rid of peeling, irritation and rashes, make a mask no more than once a week.

Anti-aging face masks

Rejuvenating face masks moisturize, nourish and smooth out wrinkles. They are suitable from 25 due to their naturalness and do not have a clear distinction by age.

How to apply masks correctly?

We've sorted out the mask recipes. But for them to really “work”, you need to know 11 rules for applying a mask:

• Prepare your skin before the procedure. Cleanse your face with foam or gel, even if you didn’t do makeup today.
• Steam your face so that the components penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis. Keep a terry towel under steam or wet it with hot water and apply it to your face for a few minutes. Simply washing with hot water will not work. It will irritate the skin rather than open the pores.

Use a scrub . It will remove dead skin particles from the skin, and it will become more susceptible to the action of masks.

• Be sure to make sure you are not allergic to the ingredients by testing the mask on your elbow.
• Do any treatment 2 hours before bedtime so that all the ingredients have time to be absorbed and you do not experience swelling.
• It is most convenient to apply the mask with your fingers, but you can also use a flat silicone brush . The main rule is that the brush should be dry and clean.
• Put on a mask - relax . Sit comfortably on the sofa, turn on some calm music and dream. Can you afford to rest for 15 minutes! If you run around the house in a fuss at this time, the mask will slip or smear, and you will not notice the effect.

• Do not keep the mask on your face for longer than prescribed . Clay that has dried on the skin will dry it out excessively, cleansing masks can erase the protective layer, and nourishing masks will cause irritation if overexposed.
• Rinse off the mask with water at room temperature.
• Immediately apply a cream suitable for your skin type .
• And the most important. Take care of your face regularly , not by inspiration.

Face mask with honey

Face masks with honey help normalize nutrition, rejuvenate, and moisturize. Honey is rarely used as an independent remedy. Since it often causes allergic reactions. Be careful and do a sensitivity test before using the mask on your face. Place a small amount of honey on the bend of your elbow and evaluate the reaction within 20-30 minutes. If there is no redness or itching, the risk of an allergy is minimal.

• honey, oatmeal, avocado oil

Grind a tablespoon of oatmeal in a coffee grinder. Fill with warm water and add a teaspoon of oil. It has a smoothing and rejuvenating effect. Oatmeal will help with collagen. This face mask promotes rejuvenation. If you grind oatmeal in a coffee grinder, it is suitable for use as a scrub.

What are the consistency of masks?

Cosmetic masks differ in their consistency and sphere of influence on the skin of the face. I would like to dwell in more detail on alginate (powder) masks. They are based on salts of alginic acid secreted by brown and red algae.

Alginates interact well with water, turning into a gel, and 5-7 minutes after application to the skin of the face or body they become rubbery. To use, the powder must be diluted with water in a ratio of 1:3 (for example, 1 tsp of powder and 3 tsp of boiled water).

Such masks have a calming and anti-inflammatory effect, help restore skin elasticity, as they shrink in size when dry and thus tighten the skin tissue.

It is worth noting that this mask has contraindications for: oncology, exacerbation of chronic diseases, ulcers, acne during an exacerbation, open wounds.

Next about consistency. Masks can be divided into:

• Cream. Actively affects the skin;
• Film. Nourish, moisturize and cleanse the skin at the same time;
• Gel. Cools and actively moisturizes the skin, especially good for aging skin;
• Collagen works with wrinkles and deeply moisturizes the skin;
• Mud. Effectively cleanse pores, remove excess oil, and fight inflammation of the facial skin.

Tolerance test for face mask components

Any cosmetic product that you use for the first time needs to be checked for tolerance of the components. In our age of the chemical industry, when it is used in everything that surrounds us. This may happen, the body will reach the “point of no return” and any additional drop of any chemical will result in an allergic reaction. And will require further medical treatment.

To be sure that the mask will bring only benefits and positive emotions, do a test, following the example outlined below, if the base is powder. Other consistency: cream, gel, etc. apply a drop or pea of ​​the mask to the same part of your hand...

Dilute a small amount of powder with water in a ratio of 1:3 and apply to the inside of the wrist. If within 20-25 minutes there is no burning sensation or redness on the wrist, then you can use the mask on the face or body.

How to remove a mask at home

We remove gel and cream masks with filtered or boiled water, water with baking soda (0.5 tsp per glass of water at room temperature) simply by washing or using cotton pads, sponges, compresses. But let me remind you again that wiping with discs or sponges must be carried out along the massage lines.

We remove alginate and gel masks in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. We remove the film, if possible, in a single layer, from bottom to top. And we remove the remains with lotion or tonic.

Cosmetic masks and facial skin type

To understand which mask we need and will bring the greatest benefit, we need to know our skin type. There are four main types: normal skin, dry, oily, combination

How to determine your facial skin type is described in detail here. As a rule, by the time she needs a mask, a girl already knows her skin type and can determine it by eye. In short: tight, flaky skin after washing indicates that it lacks moisture and nutrition.

Oily shine on the forehead, sides of the nose, cheeks, enlarged pores and pimples indicate that the skin needs special care because it is oily. When oily shine is only on the nose and forehead, and the cheeks are matte, it means combination skin.

Those with normal skin, that is, when there are no enlarged pores and oily shine, and after washing it does not tug or flake, also need care, because our lifestyle, nutrition, and habits can easily “correct” this situation and not for the better.

This type of skin, for some time, allows its owner to feel fresh and attractive without any special stress in caring for it. In order to extend this period, you still need to devote time and money to your face.

Over time, age-related changes occur in the skin, and one can say that a certain type of skin appears: aging.

Fading skin cannot be attributed to a specific age, because it is influenced by a complex of factors. Heredity, climatic living conditions, timely (untimely) skin care and many others mentioned above. Sometimes a lady 50+ looks younger and more well-groomed than a lady 35+.

Common early causes of facial wrinkles

1. In some areas of the face, facial folds appear, which are often called rays of happiness. You can see them with the naked eye; they like to settle around the eyes, since here the skin has practically no muscle layer or fat layer.
2. Women do not like to admit their problems, so when vision problems appear, many stubbornly continue to hide it, do not wear glasses and squint. Hiding one flaw, you will soon acquire a bunch of small wrinkles. Don’t be shy about wearing glasses; today you can choose quite stylish frames and look very presentable and elegant.
3. On sunny days, protect your eyes with dark glasses so as not to wrinkle and test your skin's strength.
4. When sleeping, it is better to lie on your back to avoid creases and dents.
5. If you constantly adhere to diets, then know that when you lose excess fat, muscle mass also goes away, which provokes the appearance of wrinkles. To reduce the negative effects of restricting food, maximize your diet with plenty of water and protein foods.
6. It is important to choose the right cosmetics and recipes for home care! At any age, it is important to use high-quality creams, as well as natural-based masks.
7. Always monitor your health; after 40 years, any malfunction in the functioning of internal organs immediately affects the condition of the dermis: carious teeth, genitourinary infections, tonsillitis, intestinal infections, dysbacteriosis, etc.
8. Before it's too late, give up bad habits. By looking at a woman’s face, you can unmistakably determine that she is addicted to nicotine and alcohol.
9. Remember! Any overload, such as lack of sleep, endless nervous stress, fatigue also affects our appearance.

When and who should use it?

Homemade anti-wrinkle masks are considered a universal anti-aging remedy.
They are not limited by age criteria - nature will help both youthful and mature skin. Natural compositions serve as prevention against early manifestations of wilting. In this case, daily oatmeal masks with yogurt are perfect.

Mature skin will also benefit from a cocktail of nutrients. It will moisturize the dermis and fight fine wrinkles.

Any cosmetic product should be chosen taking into account the characteristics of a particular skin type. Homemade compositions are no exception.

How to apply a mask for facial skin rejuvenation

Applying a facial rejuvenation mask should be done in a calm environment. A cosmetologist should have warm hands and communicate with the client slowly. A cosmetic mask is a whole ritual, and not just a facial skin care procedure.

The client should relax, feel refreshed from daily tension and stress. If this does not happen, then do not count on the desired effect.

Trust your face only to professional specialists, because it is very important to choose the right composition of a mask for facial rejuvenation and determine the condition of the skin.

A specialist will definitely check whether you are allergic to any components included in the facial rejuvenation mask. This is easy to do: a small amount of the product is applied to the extensor surface of the forearm. If after 10 minutes a burning sensation, redness, or itching appears, then the mask should not be applied to the face.

In addition to checking for allergies, the technician should ask whether the patient suffers from claustrophobia. If yes, then you should not choose masks that harden and compress the soft tissues of the face. This can cause a feeling of enclosed space, as a result of which the client will begin to panic and there will be no effect from the procedure. These masks include paraffin, lifting and alginate.

You cannot immediately apply a face rejuvenation mask. The skin is first cleaned with a hot compress or vaporization, that is, a stream of steam mixed with ozone. Both methods open up the pores. Steam also kills microorganisms.

You should not always moisturize the skin, but only if it is prescribed in the instructions for use of the mask. Not all medications can be applied to the eyelids and the area above the upper lip. If, however, the composition of the facial rejuvenation mask is suitable for such areas, then special tampons moistened with lotion or chamomile decoction are placed on the eye area. Then the composition will definitely not get into your eyes. Getting a mask into your nose is also unacceptable.

The mask is applied from bottom to top along massage lines: from the chin to the earlobes, from the corners of the lips to the middle of the auricle, from the nose to the temples, then from the middle of the forehead to the temples. The figure shows these directions:

To apply a mask to rejuvenate facial skin, you need various tools: spatulas, special brushes that resemble makeup brushes, but are stiffer, flatter and wider. In rare cases, a specialist applies the mask with his hands. A sterile spatula is needed in any case: it is used to remove the required amount of the finished composition from the jar. In some beauty salons, the ingredients of the mask are mixed right before application, in which case the cosmetologist determines the required volume in advance. It is better to use disposable containers, spatulas, and sponges for rinsing.

The mask is applied in a fairly thick layer for 10-40 minutes in accordance with the instructions. The client should not talk or laugh during this time.

There is no need to stretch the skin when washing off the mask. You should use cotton swabs or sponges moistened with cool water if the skin is oily, and warm if dry. Gels and foams for washing are not recommended. If the facial rejuvenation mask dries out some time after application, soak it with water and then carefully wash it off without damaging the skin.

Keep in mind that you can apply cosmetics only two hours after the procedure, and preferably 3-4. Only a light moisturizer is allowed.

And yet, what is the result of applying a mask to rejuvenate facial skin?

• Relieving facial skin from environmental stress;
• Enriching the skin with moisture;
• Improving blood circulation and lymphatic drainage;
• Improved appearance: tightened oval face, giving the skin freshness and velvety, reducing pores;
• Saturation of the skin with nutrients;
• Regulation of the secretion of the sebaceous glands;
• Relieving irritation and inflammation;
• Improved mood and self-esteem.

Which mask is best for facial rejuvenation in a beauty salon?

Unfortunately, skin aging is inevitable, and it is impossible to reverse this process. Moreover, it has not yet been sufficiently studied. You should not believe advertising that claims that there is a wonderful cream that can smooth out all wrinkles in a few days, make the skin velvety, etc. An important task of professional cosmetology is the prevention of aging, which will preserve the youthfulness of facial skin for many years without resorting to plastic surgery. One of the means for this is masks for facial skin rejuvenation.

Collagen and placental-collagen masks are considered the most effective. With age, the skin on the face sags due to decreased collagen synthesis. This is a protein substance of animal origin; it forms a framework under the epidermis, maintaining its elasticity and tone.

Where does collagen come from? From the skin of animals and fish. It is processed in a special way, due to which it acquires special properties, including antioxidant ones. This is what allows collagen molecules to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and folds. Marine collagen is similar to human collagen, but you need to keep in mind that it can be an allergen.

Collagen can also be plant-based; it is extracted from wheat proteins. It promotes the production of your own collagen and is perfectly absorbed by the skin.

When you complete a course of anti-aging masks, the oval of your face will become clearer, and your skin will be fresh and soft. Collagen contributes to the formation of a surface protective layer that retains moisture. Among other things, such masks increase the synthesis of fibroblasts and have a moisturizing and regenerating effect. The advantage of masks is that they are suitable for people of any age, after mesotherapy, for sensitive skin and after chemical peels.

If you are going to go out into the world or attend some important event and therefore urgently need to “fix your face,” special “instant beauty” masks are perfect. They are applied to the face and neck for half an hour.

One type of such collagen masks is a collagen sheet, consisting of a thin fibrous base containing a high percentage of collagen of plant or animal origin and impregnated with an aqueous solution.

Nourishing masks with biologically active substances also belong to masks for facial rejuvenation. They contain extracts of placenta (bovine and human), amniotic fluid (fetal sac of cattle), bee products, collagenase (from crab liver), bovine semen.

Each beauty salon has its own set of cosmetic procedures, the main of which are masks for facial skin rejuvenation. We recommend contacting the City Beauty and Health Center “Veronika Herba”. Here they will select a mask specifically for your skin, based on the results of certain tests, age and contraindications:

Rules for using masks

If the technique of applying the composition or the principles of skin preparation are violated, the nutrients of the mask may not penetrate the tissue.

To avoid allergic reactions, you should always perform a quick allergy test before first use. To do this, apply a small amount of the mask to the skin of your elbow or wrist and wait a couple of minutes. If any sign of irritation appears, do not use it.

You need to use only high-quality products when preparing masks at home. It is not recommended to take fruits or vegetables that have begun to spoil, or expired vitamins. Significant savings will not be achieved, and irritation on the face will be noticeable.

Homemade masks should be prepared immediately before use, with the exception of some recipes.

Rules for using funds:

1. All masks should be applied to a thoroughly cleansed face without any traces of makeup, otherwise the nutrients will be poorly absorbed into the skin.
2. You should not apply the mask to the skin around the eyes, unless it is a special product for this area.
3. The mask should be applied in the direction of the facial massage lines - from the center outwards.
4. If possible, you should lie down during the procedure and try to relax.
5. The recommended duration should not be exceeded. This will not improve the effectiveness of the mask, but will cause inflammation. The usual duration of the procedure is 15-20 minutes, unless otherwise specified.

You need to remove the mask with light, gentle movements to avoid irritation. You can use a cotton pad soaked in mineral water or herbal decoction.

After the procedure, you should apply lotion. For dry or sensitive skin, it is recommended to use a nourishing composition. People with normal or oily skin need to use a toning lotion.

A quick effect from the procedure can be expected only if all the rules for using masks at home are followed.

Gelatin mask for facial rejuvenation

First, let's figure out what collagen is. Collagen is a protein that contributes to skin elasticity. When there is not enough of it, the face begins to age. Typically, collagen molecules in cosmetic products are too large, so they cannot penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. Gelatin is broken down collagen. And since the particles are split, they can penetrate much deeper. Therefore, gelatin is very beneficial for facial skin.

A mask for facial skin rejuvenation is prepared from gelatin and honey. You will need 25 grams of gelatin, one tablespoon of cold water, a teaspoon of honey, 60 grams of glycerin. Pour gelatin with water and leave for half an hour. Then add honey and glycerin. Place the resulting mixture in a water bath, heat it up, but not too much. That's it, you can apply it to your face with a cotton pad for 20 minutes. At the end of the procedure, remove the resulting film from your face and wipe with tonic.

Starch mask for facial rejuvenation

Ordinary potato starch can provide your skin with an impressive rejuvenating effect. Many people say that starch gives the same results as Botox injections. Of course, this is a huge exaggeration, but it really works great as a base for a facial rejuvenation mask. Even the most expensive cosmetics from well-known brands will not be able to help as well as starch, which is available to everyone.

Mix a spoonful of potato starch with a spoonful of cocoa powder, add a little rosehip oil and yogurt. Leave on your face for 20-30 minutes.

Pumpkin face mask for rejuvenation

Pumpkin facial rejuvenation mask is useful for cleansing. It saturates the top layer of skin with vitamins, enriches it with nourishing and moisturizing components, smoothes wrinkles, and brightens the face. After all, pumpkin contains many nutrients.

Dry skin begins to age early and has increased sensitivity. You can correct the situation with the help of a pumpkin. The best option is not to use boiled pumpkin, but to steam it or cook it in the oven. In this case, the maximum possible amount of valuable substances will remain in it. If you do decide to boil the pumpkin, use a small amount of water.

You will need:

• 50 grams of pumpkin pulp;
• 5 grams of honey;
• 1 egg yolk;
• 20 grams of cream with 20% fat content.

Boil the pumpkin pulp and mash it to a puree. Heat the honey in the microwave, mix it with pumpkin puree, egg yolk and high-fat cream. Stir the resulting mixture and apply to your face for 20 minutes. This facial rejuvenation mask can be done once every three days.

Raspberry mask

Take three tablespoons of raspberries and mash them to a puree consistency. Add a teaspoon of honey, the same amount of olive oil and an egg yolk to the puree. Mix the resulting mass well, apply to your face for 20 minutes, and wash.
