Closer to 35, the skin begins to lose its youth and potential. Moisture is not retained so actively, the face gradually "settles", 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 that.
Face masks 30+
After 30 years, even oily skin needs periodic moisturizing, but it's too early to forget about mattifying compounds. But for owners of "dry" face it's time to wake up - moisturizing masks should alternate with those aimed at restoring and renewing the epidermis.Although the transition from young to mature skin should not be accompanied by extremes.Too nourishing products will only make wrinkles more visible, and the passion for "heavy artillery" can cause laxity. Care should be tailored 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 facial wrinkles;
- pigmentation;
- gravitational ptosis - sagging of the face under the influence of gravity;
- pronounced nasolabial folds;
- "Bulldog's cheeks";
- double chin;
- dullness, dehydration, flaking and dry skin.
Rules for application and frequency of use of masks
Home products are applied only on pre-prepared skin.Before the main procedure you need to remove makeup and clean your face. Using a scrub or exfoliation will increase efficiency. Steam baths also increase the efficiency of care. But be careful, they are contraindicated in cardiovascular disease, thin skin, rosacea and rosacea.
Fresh food and non-metallic utensils are used to mix the masks. You should apply the product immediately after cooking - remember that natural ingredients deteriorate quickly.
The optimal exposure time for each mask is 10-30 minutes. Keeping the face more or less pointless is pointless - the active ingredients simply do not have time to be absorbed or 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 drying it is usually undesirable - periodically spray the applied mixture with water.
