For some reason, since the rapid development of injectable cosmetology and hardware, experts in the field of beauty to some extent pay attention to those who are still willing to take care of the skin condition at home.
It is believed that the use of anti-wrinkle face masks is ineffective, but useless. The phytotherapist confidently states that you don’t know how to cook it properly.
Rules for the use of anti-wrinkle masks
In order for a face mask used at home to prove its effectiveness, several prerequisites must be met.
- Preparation of facial skin.How many times have they said that cleansing is the key to healthy skin. However, for some reason, many women skip this stage or do not treat it carefully enough. However, cleansed skin "works" after applying the mask by 30% more effectively. Remember, before applying the composition to your face, you must first cleanse your skin with a lotion or toner. With oily skin, dirt and makeup residue is washed off with foam or exfoliating scrub, and with dry skin - with plain water.
- Preparation of mask composition. 45% of allergic reactions in women occur due to the fact that they do not check the expiration date of the components of anti-wrinkle masks. And this must be done. And it is recommended to use only natural ingredients. It is better to test for allergies first by applying a little mask on the elbow joint. If after 15 minutes there is no allergic reaction, you can use it safely.
- Product application.The mask should be applied to the face gently with clean hands. The mechanics are as follows: the composition is applied from the bottom up along the massage line (from the neck to the hairline). Then move from the nasolabial fold to the ear and from the chin to the earlobe. The next layer should be applied on the area around the lips and eyes. If the mask contains active ingredients, do not apply to the lips and eyes. After using the product completely, inhale and exhale several times. You can lie down and close your eyes. Be aware that certain face masks, especially those made with berries and fruit, leak, so try to protect your clothes first. It is recommended to insert the hair into a shower cap and cover the shoulders and chest with a towel.
- "Life expectancy" mask.On average, it takes about half an hour to prevent the mask from wrinkles, this time is enough for the active ingredient to begin to affect the upper layer of the epidermis. But, if you feel a burning sensation, itching, or notice redness, itching, rinse the mask immediately with water. If this happens, take mild anti-allergy medication, and if possible, see a doctor.
- Remove the mask.The ideal option is to first remove the mask gently with a wet towel or sponge, this is what is called gentle cleansing. And then wash with cold or warm water without using soap. If you are the owner of dry skin, then the anti-wrinkle mask is washed off with warm water, but with oily products it is washed off cold. After removing the remnants of the mask, moisturizer should be applied to the skin of the face.
What cream to choose for the face?
- For dry skin, you should choose a cream with a dense texture that nourishes it intensively.
- For oily skin, a zinc -based cream with a lightening effect is ideal.
- But hypoallergenic products have proven to be excellent in the care of sensitive skin.
