Unfortunately, over the years our body ages, and for nowhave not come up with a magic pill that can return us to our former youth and beauty. And sooner or later, looking at ourselves in the mirror, we discover the first external signs of aging on our face. If we hide most of our body under clothes, then it is impossible to completely protect our face, hands and neck from the effects of negative factors. Sun, wind, frost - all this does not have the best effect on the condition of the skin. Improper nutrition, constant stress, bad habits also leave premature marks on the face. In addition, the skin on the face is noticeably thinner, more delicate, and therefore more vulnerable than the rest of the skin. The first signs of aging on the face are wrinkles, crow's feet near the eyes, dry skin, nasolabial folds - and all these "decorations" on the face do not please us at all. Of course, any woman will not wait for the weather by the sea and will stock up on various anti-aging products. Moreover, today we have rich opportunities to maintain youth and beauty: laser lifting, Botox, plastic surgery, all kinds of cosmetic procedures. No one argues about the effectiveness of these procedures, but not everyone can afford to pay a lot of money and trust cosmetology clinics. While affordable and safe face lifting at home is not inferior in quality to procedures in expensive salons. And first of all, it is worth resorting to home masks. Home lifting masks are known as one of the most effective and productive ways to combat sagging skin. They can smooth out the first wrinkles, tighten the skin and improve its elasticity. At the same time, lifting masks activate the production of collagen, which is necessary for strengthening tissues. Of course, a couple of home procedures will give you only a short-term effect, but with regular long-term use of lifting masks, you can achieve a good effect at home.
Preparatory stage
At home, just like in a salon, it is necessary to carry out preliminary preparation of the facial skin for the procedure.
- It is advisable to carry out a deep cleansing with a steam bath. As an additive, you can use any suitable herbs for you, grown in environmentally friendly conditions.
- On the steamed skin, apply a scrub and massage in a circular motion, then rinse with warm water. Everything, you are ready for further action.
- Important moment when applying lifting masksis what to apply and maintain them preferably lying down. When you lie on your back, the skin on your face is smoothed over the natural cosmetic lines and, accordingly, the mask will lie down, pulling the muscle fibers properly.
- Women with dry skin before applying a lifting mask are recommended to lubricate their face with a usual moisturizing cream.
- When choosing lifting masks, be guided by yourcondition of the skin. With minor signs of aging, it will be logical to use simple masks with a slight pull-up effect. But for mature skin with deep wrinkles it is more useful to combine home masks and facial massage.
