For some reason, with the rapid development of injectable and hardware cosmetology, beauty professionals are looking at those who are still ready to maintain their skin condition at home.
It is believed that the use of anti-wrinkle face masks is ineffective, but in vain. An expert phytotherapist confidently states that you just do not know how to prepare them properly.
Rules for using anti-wrinkle masks
In order for a facial mask used at home to prove its effectiveness, several prerequisites must be met.
- Facial skin preparation.How many times has it been said that cleansing is the key to healthy skin. However, for some reason, many women either miss this stage or are not careful enough about it. And yet, cleansed skin "works" 30% more effectively after using masks. Remember, before applying the composition on the face, you must first cleanse the skin with a lotion or tonic. On oily skin, dirt and make-up residues are washed off with foam or exfoliating scrub, and on dry skin - with plain water.
- Prepare the composition of the mask.45% of allergic reactions in women occur due to the fact that they do not check the validity of the components of the anti-wrinkle mask. And it has to be done. And it is advisable to use only natural ingredients. It is best to check in advance if there is an allergy to a small mask on the elbow joint. If after 15 minutes there is no allergic reaction, you can safely use it.
- Product use.The mask should be applied gently on the face with clean hands. The mechanics are as follows: The composition is applied from the bottom along the massage lines (from the neck to the hairline). Then move from the nasolabial folds to the ears and from the chin to the base of the ear. The next layer should be applied around the lips and eyes. If the mask contains active ingredients, do not apply them on the lips and eye area. Inhale and exhale several times after full use of the product. You can lie down and close your eyes. Keep in mind that certain types of masks, especially those made with berries and fruits, leak, so try to protect your clothes in advance. It is advisable to put the hair in the shower cap and cover the shoulders and chest with a towel.
- The "life expectancy" of the mask.Mask protection from wrinkles takes an average of about half an hour, during which time it is enough for the active ingredients to begin to affect the upper layers of the epidermis. If you feel a burning sensation, itching or see redness, urticaria, rinse the mask with water. Take a mild antiallergic medicine just in case and see your doctor if possible.
- Mask removal.The ideal option is to first gently remove the mask with a wet towel or sponge, this is e. g. წ. Gentle cleansing. And only then wash with cold or warm running water, without the use of soap. If you have dry skin, the anti-wrinkle mask is washed off with warm water, but with a greasy product it washes off cold. After removing the mask residue, moisturizer should be applied on the facial skin.
What kind of cream to choose for the face?
- For dry skin you should choose a cream with a dense texture that intensively nourishes it.
