Alas, but over the years our body grows old, and untilinvented a magic pill that can restore us to our 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 most of our body is hidden under clothing, then the face, arms and neck can not be completely protected from the effects of negative factors. The sun, wind, frost - all this is not the best way to affect the condition of the skin. Incorrect nutrition, persistent stress, bad habits also leave premature traces on the face. In addition, the structure of the skin on the face is noticeably thinner, more tender, 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 at the sea and will be stocked with various rejuvenating agents. Moreover, today we have rich opportunities for maintaining youth and beauty: laser lifting, botox, plastic surgery, various cosmetic procedures. Nobody argues about the effectiveness of these procedures, but not everyone can afford to pay a lot of money and rely on cosmetology clinics. While an affordable and safe facelift at home is not inferior to its quality procedures in expensive salons. And first of all it is necessary to resort to house masks. Home tightening masks are known as one of the most effective and productive ways to combat sagging skin. They are able to smooth the first wrinkles, tighten the skin and improve its elasticity. In this case, lifting masks activate the production of collagen, which is necessary for tissue strengthening. Of course, a couple of home procedures will give you only a short-term effect, but with regular prolonged use of pull-up masks, you can achieve a good effect in the home. 
Preparatory stage
At home, as well as in the salon, it is necessary to pre-prepare 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.
