Finished cosmetic products are amazing today with their huge variety, but despite this, it is quite difficult to find really effective means, while they are not cheap. That's why many women are increasingly beginning to use folk cosmetic recipes - and the result is really impressive. We have prepared for you some of the most effective pull-up masks from conventional products that you can easily replicate at home. 
Masks tightening: according to folk recipes
There are two factors to reduce the elasticity of the skin: slowing down in the cells of metabolic processes as a result of blood circulation disorders or due to natural aging, lack of moisture and nutrition. All these problems can be solved not only in the office of a cosmetologist, but also at home. To stimulate circulation, contrast facial and facial massage should be done, and nutritious masks with lifting effect should be used to nourish, moisten and slow down the aging process.

Before use, allow it to cool slightly - put in the refrigerator for thickening to a gel-like consistency. To apply a mask, you need 3 stripes of a wide bandage: the first is superimposed on the chin, the ends are directed towards the temples, the second is on the forehead, and the third is in the middle, from one ear to the other.
