Closer to age 35, the skin begins to lose youth and potential. Moisture does not stay so active, the face gradually "calms down", and the first wrinkles appear around the lips and eyes. It is important not to miss this moment by diluting the usual care with anti-aging products. And homemade masks can help you with that.
Face masks 30+
After 30 years, even oily skin type should be moisturized occasionally, but it is too early to forget about mattifying mixtures. But for owners of "dry" face it's time to wake up - moisturizing masks should be alternated with those aimed at restoring and restoring the epidermis.Although the transition from young to mature skin should not be accompanied by extremes.Excessively nutritious products will only make wrinkles more visible, and a passion for "heavy artillery" can cause lethargy. Care should be tailored to the needs of the skin, so feel free to experiment by combining masks with different effects.
Indications for use
Moisturizing and rejuvenating masks marked "30+" are used to solve several problems:
- first age-related changes;
- wrinkles, including imitation;
- pigmentation;
- gravitational ptosis - relaxation of the face under the influence of gravity;
- pronounced nasolabial folds;
- "Bulldog Cheeks";
- double chin;
- dullness, dehydration, dandruff and dry skin.
Rules of application and frequency of use of masks
Homemade products are applied only to previously prepared skin.Before the main procedure, you need to remove makeup and clean your face.Using an exfoliator or scrub will increase efficiency. Steam baths also increase the efficiency of care. But be careful, they are contraindicated in cardiovascular diseases, thin skin, rosacea and rosacea.
Fresh food and non-metallic utensils are used to mix the masks. You must apply the product immediately after preparation - keep in mind that natural ingredients spoil quickly.
The optimal exposure time to any mask is 10-30 minutes. Keeping it on your face more or less is pointless - the active ingredients just don’t have time to absorb or stop working. But the frequency of use depends solely on the condition of the skin: 1 to 3 times a week.
The mask can remain on the face until it is completely absorbed, but its drying is usually undesirable - occasionally spray the applied mixture with water.
