Closer to 35, the skin begins to lose its youth and potential. The moisture is not so actively retained, the face "settles" gradually, and the first wrinkles form 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 with this.
Face masks 30+
After 30 years, even an oily skin type needs periodic moisture, but it is too early to forget matte compounds. But for the owners of a "dry" face, it's time to wake up - moisturizing masks should be replaced with those intended to restore and renew the epidermis.Although the transition from young to mature skin should not be accompanied by extremes.Excessively nourishing products will only make wrinkles more visible, and the passion for "heavy artillery" can cause slackness. Care must be tailored to the needs of the skin, then you are welcome 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 - sagging of the face under the influence of gravity;
- pronounced nasolabial folds
- "Bulldog children";
- double garden;
- lethargy, dehydration, peeling and dry skin.
Rules of use and frequency of use of masks
Homemade products are applied only on previously prepared skin.Before the main procedure, remove makeup and cleanse your face.Using a scrub or exfoliation increases efficiency. Steam baths also increase the effectiveness of care. But beware, they are contraindicated in cardiovascular disease, thin skin, rosacea and rosacea.
Fresh food and non-metallic utensils are used to mix the masks. You must use the product immediately after cooking - remember that natural ingredients deteriorate quickly.
The optimal exposure time for any mask is 10-30 minutes. Holding it in your face for less or longer is pointless - the active ingredients simply do not have time to be absorbed or stop working. But the frequency of use depends solely on the condition of the skin: from 1 to 3 times a week.
The mask may remain on the face until it is completely absorbed, but drying is usually undesirable - spray the applied mixture periodically with water.
