Face lift at home

Salon cosmetic treatments are very effective, but they are quite expensive and are not regularly available to everyone. And they alone are still not enough to always stay young and beautiful. In any case, the skin needs constant and quality care at home. And lifting masks should become an integral part of it for women after the age of 30.

Causes of skin aging

With age, irreversible changes begin to occur in the human body. And since the skin is the largest organ, they first appear on it. It becomes drier, loses firmness and elasticity, is covered with wrinkles and relaxes with ugly wrinkles.

The main reasons for such transformations are:

• changes in hormonal levels;
• reduced collagen and elastin production;
• reduction of skin moisture;
• negative environmental impacts;
• bad habits;
• lack of sleep and stress;
• various chronic diseases.

It is still impossible to completely stop the aging process even with professional high-tech methods.

However, with regular and proper 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 masks

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

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

• lack of natural skin glow;
• yellowish or grayish complexion;
• deepening of mimic wrinkles;
• sagging and lifeless skin;
• lowering the corners of the lips and eyes;
• the appearance of horizontal rings on the neck;
• pronounced double chin;
• skin hyperpigmentation;
• feeling dry and peeling;
• swelling of the oval face;
• bulldog cheeks appearing.

Moreover, it is highly recommended not to wait until all these negative signs show in full force. The sooner you start using effective masks, the better the result will be.

Application rules

The result largely depends on the proper application of lifting masks. Ignorance of the basic principles of their use can nullify all efforts, and even the most expensive means will not give the expected effect:

• the composition of the mask must be chosen taking into account the individual characteristics of the skin;
• before the first use, it is recommended to do an allergy test;
• masks according to folk recipes are prepared immediately before use;
• the skin must be well cleansed before the procedure, it is desirable to do an exfoliation;
• masks are applied in layers, evenly smeared with a brush along the massage lines;
• then you must lie still with your eyes closed and not talk;
• the film mask is removed in one motion in the direction from the chin upwards;
• You must first soak the hardened masks by covering your face with a damp cloth for 3-5 minutes.

After the product is thoroughly washed, a light moisturizer or gel should be applied to the skin. The frequency of application of lifting masks is not more than 2 times a week. Once again, you can use multivitamins or nutrients. On other days, the skin needs to rest - it is also not worth overloading it.

After a course of rejuvenation of 10-15 procedures, it is necessary to take a break of at least a month and a half, and then it can be repeated.

The best masks

A good face lifting mask must contain moisturizing and nourishing ingredients to continue nourishing the skin. But that is not enough to tighten it.

Manufacturers today add biologically active high-tech components to the masks they buy: liquid collagen, elastin, placenta extract, stem cells, nanosilver and so on. Of course, their price is high, but the results after application are simply fantastic.

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

Professionally

You can buy a good professional lifting mask today online or in specialized stores. Its main advantage is high efficiency - after only a few applications, clear changes for the better are visible on the face.

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

Another significant problem is that such intense masks are not suitable for everyone - they often have allergic reactions. Therefore, it is a good idea to buy and use a probe first.

Naturally

In ordinary cosmetic shops, you can buy masks with a lifting effect, which are based on natural ingredients: plant extracts, essential oils, algae. They are allowed to use it more often - with an intensive course, even every other day.

Folk

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

Here are the three most popular, simple and most effective recipes for homemade face masks:

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

There are many other useful recipes that you can find or compose. The main thing to remember is that you should not jump from one tool to another. To achieve a good result, you must use one mask for at least a month. Then you can take a break and try something new.

Contraindications

It may sound strange, but there are contraindications to using lifting masks. There are few of them, and they are mostly related to the peculiarities of the composition of these cosmetics. You cannot use them:

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

It is strictly forbidden to use professional products and masks with aloe for people with cancer - they can worsen their course and accelerate tumor growth.

Correcting results

In order to enhance the effect of lifting face masks, it is necessary to reconsider the diet and change your lifestyle at least a little. Experts advise you to adhere to the following recommendations:

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

It is very useful to massage your face regularly and, if possible, do a course of hardware cosmetic procedures at home or in a salon every six months.

Compression

According to most women, it is impossible to do a quality facelift at home, especially after the age of 35, only with the use of masks. However, they are of great help in the fight to preserve beauty and youth. Combined with other anti-aging treatments, and in between, they give outstanding results.

Of course, high-quality professional products, when properly selected and applied, work better than masks solely on a natural basis. This is not surprising - formulas for leading manufacturers are developed by top experts in modern scientific laboratories. Therefore, if there is an opportunity to buy such masks at least once a year, it is worth doing.

But home remedies should not be neglected either. The skin will respond to any vitamin and mineral diet by improving the complexion, increasing turgor and reducing the number of wrinkles. The main thing is regular care and quality cleaning. Therefore, when using masks, peeling should be done at least once a week. It helps to unclog pores and remove the top layer of dead skin cells. This means that the skin will be able to breathe, and the nutritional components from the lifting masks will penetrate deeper.
