Salon beauty treatments are very effective, but they are quite expensive and not always available to everyone. And only they are still not enough to always stay young and beautiful. In any case, the skin needs constant and high quality care at home. And lifting a mask should be an important part for women after 30 years.
Causes of skin aging
With age, irreversible changes begin to take place in the human body. And because the skin is the largest organ, they appear on it first. It becomes drier, loses its firmness and elasticity, becomes covered with wrinkles and sags with ugly folds.
The main reasons for such a transformation are:
- changes in hormone levels;
- reduction in collagen and elastin production;
- decreased skin moisture;
- negative environmental impacts;
- bad habits;
- lack of sleep and stress;
- various chronic diseases.
It is still impossible to completely stop the aging process even with professional high -tech methods.
However, with the use of home lifting masks on a regular and proper basis for facial rejuvenation, you can keep your skin in good condition for a long time, even without resorting to radical measures.
Who needs a mask
Cosmeticians recommend doing a moisturizing and nourishing face mask at least once a week after 25 years. Due to constant stress and unfavorable ecology, already at this age, the skin begins to suffer and needs support.
But you do not have to rush by lifting the mask. Additional stimulation is allowed only after 30-35, when the rate of natural cell regrowth decreases and early signs of aging appear:
- lack of natural radiance of the skin;
- yellowish or gray skin;
- deepening of mimic wrinkles;
- flabby and lifeless skin;
- drooping corners of lips and eyes;
- the appearance of a horizontal ring on the neck;
- pronounced double chin;
- skin hyperpigmentation;
- dryness and flaking;
- swelling of the face;
- bulldog cheeks that appear.
Moreover, it is highly advised not to wait until all these negative signs show themselves fully. The sooner you start using effective masks, the better the results from them.
Rules of application
The result depends on the proper use of a lifting mask. Ignorance of the basic principles of its use can nullify all efforts, and even the most expensive means will not give the expected effect:
- the composition of the mask must be chosen taking into account the individual characteristics of the skin;
- before using it for the first time, it is advisable to do an allergy test;
- masks according to folk recipes are prepared immediately before use;
- the skin must be thoroughly cleansed before the procedure, it is also advisable to do exfoliation;
- the mask is applied in layers, flatten with a brush along the massage line;
- then you have to lie down quietly with your eyes closed and not talk;
- the film mask is removed with one movement in a direction from the chin upwards;
- the hardened mask must first be soaked by covering your face with a damp cloth for 3-5 minutes.
After the product is washed off thoroughly, a mild moisturizer or gel should be applied to the skin. The frequency of wearing a lifting mask is no more than 2 times a week. Again can make a multivitamin or nutritious. On other days, the skin should rest - it’s also not worth it to burden it.
After a rejuvenation course of 10-15 procedures, it is necessary to rest for at least a month and a half, and then it can be repeated.
The best mask
A good lifting face mask must contain moisturizing and nourishing ingredients to continue to care for your skin. But this is not enough to tighten him.
Manufacturers add biologically active high -tech components to masks purchased today: liquid collagen, elastin, extracts from the placenta, stem cells, nanosilvers and so on. Naturally, the price for them is high, but the results after application are just great.
But natural remedies also work well. It just takes longer to achieve the same effect. And it is very important to choose the right composition that will be suitable for the skin. Therefore, it is better to consult a beautician and listen to his advice.
Professional
You can buy a good professional lifting mask today over the Internet or in specialty stores. Its main advantage is its high efficiency - after just a few applications, the obvious changes become better visible on the face.
The main disadvantage is the relatively high price, which is due to the presence of high -tech biologically active components.
The second important problem is that such intensive masks are not suitable for everyone - they often experience allergic reactions. Therefore, it is a good idea to purchase and use a probe first.
Natural
In regular cosmetics stores you can buy masks with a lifting effect, which are based on natural ingredients: plant extracts, essential oils, seaweed. They are allowed to be used more frequently - with intensive courses, even on a daily basis.
The people
If you are not lazy, then a good anti-aging mask can be prepared at home according to folk recipes. There are many of them, but most of them are based on the same components: cosmetic clay, yeast, natural oils and essences, honey, decoctions or tinctures of medicinal herbs.
Here are the three most popular, simple and effective homemade face mask recipes:
- clay. On two tablespoons of cosmetic clay (preferably white or green), pour one tablespoon of fresh grape juice and add one teaspoon of peach, olive or wheat germ oil. Mix everything well, apply on face and leave until completely dry. Don't move or talk! The mask gives an excellent rejuvenating effect, cleanses and tightens the pores perfectly, improves the skin.
- With retinol. Such masks are suitable for those who have problems with the increase of oily skin - they control the activity of sebaceous glands and strengthen the capillaries perfectly, allowing you to get rid of vascular tissue. In a tablespoon of homemade cream or sour cream, add two ampoules of retinol (or 10 drops) and aloe pulp pounded into a porridge. Keep for at least half an hour.
- halia. Perfectly improves blood circulation, speeds up metabolic processes, tightens and rejuvenates the skin. Add one teaspoon of honey, the same amount of freshly squeezed ginger juice, half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to one tablespoon of linseed oil. If the mask is too liquid, you can thicken it with nuts or rice flour. Apply in layers along the massage line and leave on for 15-20 minutes. In case of severe burns, wash early. Not recommended for very thin and sensitive skin.
There are many more useful recipes you can find or compose. The main thing to keep in mind is that you cannot jump from one gadget to another. To get good results, you need to use one mask for at least a month. Then you can relax and try something new.
Contraindications
It may sound strange, but there are contraindications to using a lifting mask. There are few of them, and they are mainly associated with the peculiarity of this cosmetic composition. You cannot use it:

To increase the lifting effect of the face mask, it is necessary to reconsider the diet and at least slightly change the lifestyle. Experts advise to adhere to the following recommendations:
- leaving bad habits - nicotine and alcohol dry out the skin and accelerate its aging;
- add fresh fruits and vegetables, fatty fish, seeds and nuts, whole grain breads and cereals to the menu;
- drink at least 1. 5 liters of clean non-carbonated water daily;
- limit coffee consumption to 1-2 cups a day;
- refuse to visit the solarium, do not sunbathe;
- before going out into the sun, cover your face with a cream with a UV filter.
It is very useful to massage your face regularly and, if possible, take a course of hardware cosmetic procedures at home or in a salon every six months.
Adding up
According to the majority of women, it is impossible to do a high -quality facelift at home, especially after the age of 35, using only a mask. However, they are very helpful in the struggle to maintain beauty and youthfulness. Combined with other anti-aging treatments, and among them, they give remarkable results.
Naturally, high -quality professional products, when selected and used properly, work better than masks exclusively naturally. This is not surprising - formulas for leading manufacturers are developed by upper -class specialists in modern scientific laboratories. Therefore, if there is an opportunity to buy such a mask at least once a year, it is worth doing.
But home remedies also cannot be ignored. The skin will respond to any nutrition of vitamins and minerals by improving the skin, increasing turgor and reducing the number of wrinkles. The main thing is regular care and high -quality cleaning. Therefore, when using a mask, exfoliation should be done at least once a week. It helps open clogged pores and remove the top layer of dead skin cells. This means the skin will be able to breathe, and the nutritional component of the lifting mask will penetrate deeper.
