Best face masks for aging skin

Over the years, the skin of the face, neck and décolleté loses elasticity, becomes covered with wrinkles, pigment spots and vascular network. This can not but grieve. However, there are means that successfully combat the signs of aging of this kind. This article is devoted to masks that can restore youth and beauty to fading skin.

Yeast Mask

Brewer's yeast has long been used in cosmetology to maintain the natural pH of the skin balance. Included in the composition of cosmetic masks yeast well cleanse the skin and give a feeling of freshness and tightness. The yeast mask for the fading skin of the face is made on the basis of unrefined olive oil of the first cold pressing. This oil easily penetrates into the epithelial cells, transporting the nutrients contained in other components. That's why it often comes in a variety of facials for the fading skin.

The yeast mask of the following composition has proved to be well: brewer's yeast, olive oil, natural honey and sweet almond oil. For one mask, one tablespoon of this mixture is sufficient. Do not use the compound for future use, as yeast does not last long in a humid environment. Each ingredient should be taken for 10-15 grams. They should be combined in a bowl, stirred and put in a warm place for half an hour. During this time the yeast is activated - the face is covered with a thick layer of mask and is left for 18-20 minutes. Then it is washed off with warm water.

Thanks to the oils it contains, it does not cause a feeling of tightness and dryness. Yeast facial masks for fading skin are contraindicated to those with skin tend to reddening.

Protein mask

Egg white very tightens the skin, reducing the deep and smoothing of fine wrinkles. Even after the mask is washed away, the skin will remain smooth. The composition of the protein mask for the face for the fading skin includes lemon juice, whitening pigment spots, and oat flakes. For greater efficiency, flakes must be ground into powder and poured with boiling water. Half a tablespoon of flakes - 1 tablespoon of water. Give 15 minutes to stand and swell. Egg white is difficult to apply to the skin, so it must be beaten to foam. Protein foam is combined with ground flakes, add freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 coffee spoon) and apply this composition to the face. After a quarter of an hour, when the feeling of tightness begins to appear, the mask can be washed off, and the face wiped with a toner and lubricated with a moisturizing or nutritious cream.

The yellow mask

Egg yolk contains lecithin, necessary for the skin to preserve youth and eliminate various signs of aging. For the yolk lecithin to penetrate the skin cells, it is mixed with the transport oil. Most often, the most effective mask for aging face skin contains expensive natural oils of sweet almonds, saffron, avocado, shea and others. A few drops of one of these oils, mixed with yolk, will rejuvenate the skin for a couple of tens of minutes. Their action will persist for several days. Such masks are recommended to be done with a break in two or three days. Ideally, if the oils alternate, and take the eggs from the farmers.

Before the first application of the lecithin mask, the face skin should be cleaned with a mild exfoliation. This will increase blood circulation and improve the penetrating ability of epithelial cells.

Mask made of clay

Masks made of clay for the fading skin of the face have a wide range of action, since in the cosmetic clay, depending on its color, various micronutrients useful for the skin prevail.

White is rich in zinc and magnesium. It has a toning and regenerating effect.

Blue contains a lot of iron and helps with swelling.

Yellow contains a lot of potassium and is used to remove toxins.

Red clay is well reflected in the color of the face, since it contains molecules of copper and iron oxide.

Pink clay removes toxins and removes irritations. It contains many trace elements, including silicon, magnesium, iron and others.

Very much appreciated by cosmetologists green clay. It contains silver ions, which stop all pathogenic processes and thereby returns the youthfulness and attractive appearance to the skin.

Masks for the face for the fading skin, which have clay in its composition, it is recommended to do every seven to ten days and alternate with oily or oatmeal.

For a mask, cosmetic clay can simply be diluted with water and in this form applied to the face, and after a quarter of an hour, rinse with water and fix the result with a nutritious cream.

In case of problematic skin prone to wilting, it is best to dilute clay (1 table spoon) with aloe juice (1 tea spoon) and liquid natural honey (1 teaspoonful), add a few drops of vitamins A and E in the oil.

Mask from avocado

The flesh of ripe avocado has a delicate oily structure, contains many useful elements for epithelium and is perfectly combined with various oils and other traditional components of masks.

The mask we offer for the fading skin of the face and neck is made of avocado, olive oil and egg yolk. It is well absorbed. After it, the skin retains its freshness and beautiful smooth color for a long time. The mask should be applied to the cleansed moist skin, covered with a warm wet towel and hold for about a quarter of an hour. Rinse with warm water, and then wipe with a piece of ice. Such a contrast will cause the pores to quickly narrow. Nutrients mask, hitting the open pores, will remain in the skin for a long time and will heal it from the inside.

Gelatine mask

Gelatin is collagen, in which the fading skin needs especially strongly. The preparation and application of the gelatin mask takes a long time - about an hour and a half, so it is recommended to do it on a day off. Waiting time, when the mask can be removed, is not less than half an hour. The fact is that this mask is not washed off with water, but is removed in the form of a film.

For it, gelatin should be diluted with hot water, as written on the package, and left for swelling. After the due time, without adding any more liquid, put in a water bath. When all the gelatin is dissolved, it must be cooled to body temperature and only then applied to the face, chin and neck, without affecting the areas around the eyes.

The gel mask should be applied in several layers, using a wide brush. When the mask is applied in a thick layer, you need to lie down, relax, and in this state expect it to completely solidify. At this time you can not talk. The frozen mask is removed very easily, it is only necessary to pull at its edge. This procedure should be done once a month. The skin after it is younger for several years - its structure is leveled, blood circulation improves and the vascular network disappears. Despite the laborious implementation, the gelatin mask is considered one of the best for the skin, which has lost its elasticity and is covered with numerous wrinkles.

Mask of celandine

Aging of the facial skin is manifested not only in the formation of wrinkles, but also in the appearance of pigment spots. Grass celandine - a popular herbal remedy against papillomas, eliminates not only these neoplasms, but also bleaches lentigo and chloasma - foci of melanin accumulation, which with age greatly spoil the appearance. To distinguish the celandine from other plants is not difficult - when tearing off a leaf or stem, a juice of bright orange color is visible at the place of rupture.

The mask recipe for the fading skin of the face contains the crushed fresh green mass of celandine and fresh cucumber juice. This cocktail is applied to the skin and covered with a wet terry cloth. The duration of the mask is from a quarter to 20 minutes. If the spots are not lost from the first time, the procedure should be repeated until the unwanted rashes disappear completely. It is not recommended to do a mask more often than once in 7-8 days. Every time, use only freshly cut grass.

Oil mask

Dry, flabby skin will quickly restore tone if for several days in a row make oil masks with essential oils of rose, dog rose, incense, sage and patchouli mixed with olive oil base oil. We recommend to make immediately a whole bottle of these oils, so that for a long time you can have an opportunity to make restoring masks for dry, fading skin of the face every evening.

To prepare the mask, take 100 ml of unpaste olive oil of the first cold pressed and add to it 5 drops of the above essential oils. Before the procedure, the face skin should be cleaned, steam, and, while it is wet and the pores are not closed, immediately apply an oil mask. Hold it on the face and neck for about a quarter of an hour. Residue soak with a soft cloth. Properly prepared skin absorbs oil well. It lingers in the upper layer of the epidermis and accumulates moisture in its deeper layers. As a result of several procedures for one week, even very dry and flabby skin will get a healthy and blooming look.

Chocolate mask

Natural bitter chocolate is a powerful antioxidant. It contains flavonoids, which contribute to the production of skin cells by collagen. Chocolate improves the texture of the skin, making it supple and smooth, and in combination with cream, shea butter and aloe vera juice successfully neutralizes all signs of aging.

Chocolate mask for the fading skin of the face at home is done as follows. On a water bath, 50 grams of natural chocolate is melted, 1 teaspoon of fatty cream, as much natural aloe vera juice and 1 coffee spoon of shea butter are added to it. Everything is stirred to a homogeneous state and in a warm form is applied to clean, steamed skin of the face, then to the neck and décolleté. After 20 minutes, the "chocolate cocktail" should be washed off with a large amount of heated water. This mask is enough to do once in three or four days.

Potato mask

Potato mask is considered one of the best remedies against swelling in the eye area. In addition, it eliminates dark circles underneath the lower eyelids. For the mask you need fresh peeled potatoes, rubbed on the smallest grater. This gruel is superimposed around the orbital bone and left for a couple of dozen minutes. Wash it off with warm water, trying to act as delicately as possible, so as not to injure the thin skin near the eyes. This mask can be used as often as you want. Adding some new ingredients, it's easy to increase the functionality of the procedure.

One of the most famous potato masks, used in beauty salons, contains also aloe vera juice, water infusion of arnica and fennel oil. Aloe vera stimulates the production of elastin and collagen, which is especially important for aging skin. Regular use of this mask not only effectively fights with swelling, but also smoothes fine wrinkles around the eyes. Arnica intensifies the anti-edema action of potatoes, and the fennel tones the thin skin of the eyelids. Potato mask can be recommended to any woman. It does not cause irritation and allergic reactions.
