Closer to 35, 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 your usual care with anti-aging products. And homemade masks can help with that.
Face masks 30+
After 30 years, even oily skin needs periodic hydration, but it is too early to forget the matting compounds. But for owners of a "dry" face, it's time to wake up - moisturizing masks should be alternated with those that aim 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 must be adapted to the needs of the skin, so feel free to experiment by 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 - flaccidity of the face under the influence of gravity;
- pronounced nasolabial folds;
- "Bulldog cheeks";
- double chin;
- opacity, dehydration, flaking and dry skin.
Rules of application and frequency of use of masks
Homemade products are applied only to previously prepared skins.Before the main procedure, you must remove your makeup and clean your face.Using an exfoliation or exfoliation 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 need to apply the product immediately after preparation - remember that natural ingredients deteriorate quickly.
The ideal exposure time for any mask is 10 to 30 minutes. Keeping it on your face for less or longer is useless - the active ingredients just don't have time to be absorbed or to act. But the frequency of use depends only on the condition of the skin: 1 to 3 times a week.
The mask may remain on the face until completely absorbed, but drying is usually undesirable - periodically spray water on the applied mixture.
