Moisturizing face masks at home

Skin, like the rest of the human body, is aging, and fast enough, because It has an extensive surface contacting with an almost always malo-fragile environment.

The aging of the skin is divided into several stages, among which is the age after 25 years, when wilting is only beginning due to a change in the lipid barrier, a decrease in the amount of collagen, elastin, and the appearance of an increased amount of free radicals. After 35 years, hormonal changes begin that worsen the skin condition. For example, in hyaluronic acid, which is part of the tissues, changes begin, and the skin actively rubs moisture. And at 45-50 the functions of the sebaceous glands decrease, elastin fibers almost completely disappear.

And, of course, at any age the skin is exposed to temperature changes, ultraviolet irradiation. Its parameters also deteriorate due to poor nutrition, some diets, alcohol and tobacco abuse. Life-giving moisture leaves the tissues, and make up for its lack of moisturizing facial masks.

At once we will stipulate that any masks, including those with moisturizing components, can not be done before going out onto the street, where low temperatures are observed. It is better to do it somewhere in an hour and be sure to apply a protective, sufficiently greasy cream after the procedures. Otherwise, all moisturizing facial masks will lose their effectiveness. But unprotected skin, on the contrary, will quickly give up moisture.

Masks for the face, moisturizing and nourishing the skin, are available in a variety of options, for all ages, as well as for different parts of the face. Especially in this regard, the series are highlighted, designed to maintain the ideal condition of the skin around the eyes, which is particularly sensitive. The composition of moisturizing "contours" includes hyaluronic acid, glycerin, sodium salts, and to prevent edema, caffeine and special mineral components are sometimes included in the formulation.

Another common option is moisturizing facial masks with a lifting effect. To this end, strong extracts of plants (gamma-mamelis, oats, calendula, begonias, mint, aloe, etc.), vitamin complexes (A, E, C) and additional complex chemical formulas that restore the water balance for a short time to the cosmetic preparations And tighten the contours of the face. Also there are light gel compositions with a pleasant scent, which is not only useful but also very pleasant to use in cosmetic procedures.

For those who do not have the financial means to buy an expensive tube or the product has suddenly ended, you can easily make moisturizing face masks at home. They can be made, for example, from ordinary honey, which is rubbed up with white, applied for 20 minutes, and then washed off with warm, and then with cold water. Or it is mixed with water (50 ml of water + 2 tablespoons of honey) and applied for 10 minutes, followed by rinsing with cool water. These procedures are not suitable for those women who have vascular networks on their face.

For many types of skin, moisturizing face masks based on aloe are suitable. Among them, the simplest is made from the juice of aloe and any vegetable oil. For her, the cut leaves are washed and placed for two weeks in the freezer to maximize the biologically active substances. After that, the juice is squeezed out, two of its tablespoons are mixed with one tablespoon of oil (preferably pumpkin, olive, sesame or peach) and applied to the face and neck for 25-30 minutes. Next, the mask is washed off with lukewarm water.

Masks with aloe juice have a pronounced moisturizing, toning and rejuvenating effect, which allows for periodic application to achieve a flowering appearance and deserved compliments.
