Closer to 35 years of age, the skin begins to lose its youth and potential. Moisture is not so actively retained, the face gradually "calms down" and the first wrinkles form around the lips and eyes. It is important not to miss this moment by diluting the usual care with anti-aging products. And homemade masks can help with this.
Facial masks 30+
After 30 years, even oily skin types need regular hydration, but it's too early to forget about mattifying compounds. But for owners of a "dry" face, it's time to wake up: moisturizing masks should be alternated with those designed to restore and renew the epidermis.Although the transition from young to mature skin should not be accompanied by extremes.Overly nutritious products will only make wrinkles more visible, and a passion for "heavy artillery" can cause sagging. Care should be tailored to the needs of the skin, so feel free to experiment with combining masks with different effects.
Indications for use
Moisturizing and rejuvenating masks marked "30+" are used to solve several problems:
- first age-related changes;
- wrinkles, including mimicry;
- pigmentation;
- gravitational ptosis - sagging of the face under the influence of gravity;
- pronounced nasolabial folds;
- "Bulldog cheeks";
- rude;
- dullness, dehydration, peeling, and dry skin.
Rules of application and frequency of use of masks.
Homemade products are applied only to previously prepared skin.Before the main procedure, you need to remove makeup and clean your face.Using a scrub or scrub will increase the effectiveness. Steam baths also increase the effectiveness of care. But beware, they are contraindicated in cardiovascular diseases, thin skin, rosacea and rosacea.
Fresh food and non-metallic utensils are used to mix the masks. You must apply the product immediately after preparation; remember that natural ingredients deteriorate quickly.
The optimal exposure time for any mask is 10 to 30 minutes. Keeping it on the face for less or longer is pointless: the active ingredients simply do not have time to be absorbed or to stop working. But the frequency of use depends only 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 its drying is generally undesirable - periodically spray the applied mixture with water.
