Closer to 35, the skin begins to lose its youth and potential. Moisture is not so actively retained, 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. Homemade masks can help.
Face masks 30+
After 30 years, even oily skin needs to be moisturized periodically, but it is too early to forget about matte compounds. However, it is time for owners of "dry" faces to wake up - moisturizing masks should be alternated with those aimed at restoring and rejuvenating the epidermis.Although the transition from young to mature skin should not be associated with extremes.Excessively nourishing products will only further highlight wrinkles, and a passion for "heavy artillery" can cause itching. Care should be tailored to the needs of the skin, so feel free to experiment with a combination of masks with different effects.
Indications for use
Moisturizing and rejuvenating masks marked "30+" are used to solve several problems:
- the first age-related changes;
- wrinkles, including facial expressions;
- pigmentation;
- gravitational ptosis - sagging of the face under the action of gravity;
- bright nasolabial wrinkles;
- "Bulldog's cheeks";
- double chin;
- boredom, dehydration, scaly and dry skin.
Rules for use of masks and frequency of use
Homemade products are applied only on previously prepared skin.You need to remove makeup and clean your face before the main procedure.Effectiveness will be increased by scrubbing or scrubbing. Steam baths also increase maintenance efficiency. However, be careful not to use them for cardiovascular disease, thin skin, pink and rosacea.
Fresh food and non-metallic utensils are used to mix the masks. The product should be applied immediately after preparation - remember that natural ingredients deteriorate quickly.
The optimal exposure time for any mask is 10-30 minutes. Keeping it on your face for more or less is pointless - the active substances 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 may remain on the face until it is completely absorbed, but drying it is usually undesirable - periodically spray the applied mixture with water.
