Botox at home. Alternative to Botox at home

Modern clinics of plastic surgery actively promote injections of Botox to fight wrinkles. It's no secret that these procedures are really effective. But at what price do women return their youth?

Possible complications after a traditional injection

Do not forget about the very nature of botox. After all, it is a derivative of bacteria that cause botulism and can lead to food poisoning. After the injection of the injection, the muscles in part lose their mobility, so that the skin visually looks more elastic and smooth.

But even if you omit the high cost of such procedures, trying to regain freshness and beauty can have many unpleasant consequences. Among the main side effects of Botox injections, it should be separately noted:

• Edema around the eyes (due to the fact that the muscles are less contracted, stagnation of fluid occurs);
• Omission of the eyelid (occurs if the patient during the first hours after the procedure took a horizontal position, and the drug penetrated into the adjacent muscle responsible for lifting the eyelids);
• Asymmetry of the face.

It is believed that such consequences of "beauty injections" are temporary and take place for 1-2 months. But there is another, equally weighty argument in favor of Botox opponents - as a result of frequent use of the drug the person loses most of the facial properties, becomes "lifeless" and looks more like a wax mask.

How to preserve youth without harming your health?

But not everything is lost! If you dream of keeping your skin fresh, healthy and beautiful, you can do it by simulating botox at home. And, instead of a chemical toxin, in its essence - a poison, in this case only those ingredients are used that are given to us by Mother Nature, which are 100% safe for humans.

Amazing properties of a mask from starch

First, let's talk about the masks. The most popular alternative to Botox at home is the starch mask.

To prepare it, you will need:

• Starch (1 tablespoon);
• Freshly squeezed carrot juice (5 tablespoons);
• Bitter liquid sour cream (1 tablespoon);
• Starch solution (5 tablespoons);
• Warm boiled water (1 glass).

Preparing this miracle-tool is also very simple. Starch is dissolved in half a glass of heated water and placed on a steam or water bath. It is advisable to use glassware. After a while, you need to pour the remaining water into the solution and, constantly stirring, keep the mixture on fire for 10-15 minutes. By this time you should get such a jelly. Now it remains to wait until it cools down, and then mix 5 tablespoons of the solution with the same amount of carrot juice and a spoonful of sour cream.

Do not forget to mix the ingredients until smooth!

Ready mask-Botox at home is applied to the face in several layers. It is most convenient to do this with a brush. Layers are applied alternately, as the previous one dries. Keep the mask on your face for 15-20 minutes. After this, it is necessary to wash with plenty of warm water and apply a nourishing cream or almond oil on the skin. If you chose oil, then after about 20 minutes it will be necessary to remove its excess with a napkin.

Depending on how pronounced mimic wrinkles are, use this "Botox" at home need from 5 to 10 times, the course every other day. A ready-made mask can be stored for 3 days.

Did you know about the rejuvenating properties of ... tea?

This is another good alternative to Botox at home. This time we need green tea. You can grind dry castings in a coffee grinder or immediately buy a product, ground to a powder.

We begin to prepare a mask. A tablespoon of green tea should be mixed with a teaspoon of cocoa powder, and pour a little boiling water into the resulting mass. Instructions about the exact amount of water there, but in the end you should get a thick enough gruel (but not too steep!).

When the mass is slightly cooled, a small amount of natural liquid honey should be added to it and mixed thoroughly. Strengthen the effect of Botox at home will help the oil solution of vitamin E or lemon juice (just a few drops).

Homogeneous mass is applied to the skin of the face, after which it is left for 20 minutes. At the end of the procedure, you need to wash yourself with cool water and apply a moisturizing cream.

This procedure is recommended 2-3 times a week for 2 months.

Remember the miraculous power of aloe!

In many apartments, aloe is present as a houseplant. Do you also have this thorny "healer"? Excellent! After all, it is aloe that will help you make botox face at home, spending a minimum of money and not harming your body.

First, cut several leaves from the plant, rinse them with water, chop and squeeze the juice. Expect so that in the end you get 2 tablespoons of juice. To it it is necessary to add a warm (40 ° С) liquid honey. Overheat honey, by the way, it is impossible - from this, it loses all its useful qualities.

The resulting mass must be applied to the face and neck, and leave it for 15 minutes. After this, wash with water at room temperature.

In principle, you can not bother yourself with the preparation of a mask - fine prophylaxis against wrinkles will be simple rubbing of the skin with cotton wool moistened with aloe juice.

Do you want a really powerful effect?

Of course, replacing botox at home is not always easy. And the result will not be felt as quickly as one would like. In this case, there is another recipe - not quite natural, but still safer than the notorious "beauty injections." And the cost of such a procedure will be much lower.

So, first of all you need to buy at the pharmacy two drugs - "Dimexide" and gel "Solcoseryl". They can be found almost everywhere. And both of them are very Inexpensive - within 150 rubles. Their main purpose is to restore skin and treat burns, but "folk craftsmen" have adapted to use them as botox at home.

It is best to perform the procedure immediately after a bath or sauna, when the pores are well open. If this is not possible, before cleaning the face, it is important to thoroughly clean the face and rinse it with water.

"Dimexid" is brewed with boiled water in a proportion of 1:10 and, dipping a cotton swab into the solution, wiping the face and neck. Top with a thick layer of "Solkoseril" and leave for 1 hour.

From time to time, so that the gel does not dry out, you need to soak your face with a cotton swab dipped in boiled water.

At the end of the procedure, the gel is removed from the skin with the same tampon, and the face is abundantly rinsed with warm water.

On dry skin you need to apply a light, low-fat hypoallergenic cream. It is best to perform the procedure in the evening, before going to sleep - then the next morning you will wake up literally "another person"!
