Wrinkle masks are not only a prophylactic when the first age-related changes of the skin cover appear, but also an invaluable help in combating the existing grooves.
As practice shows, masks, made independently at home, have the greatest effect on efficiency and have significant advantages in comparison with factory “brothers”.
What should be in the composition of masks from wrinkles
To be sure that the mask will have the necessary effect, you need to know what should be included in its composition. The skin during the formation of wrinkles becomes less elastic, so the main component is moisturizing and nourishing ingredients, such as:
- fruit or berry puree;
- egg yolk;
- vegetable or cosmetic oil.
Naturally, the epidermis needs to be tightened, so there is no way to do without natural sources of collagen, which include:
- honey;
- gelatin;
- clay
We apply the prepared mask correctly
There are certain rules for the preparation of home anti-wrinkle masks, which should be followed:
- Mix as many ingredients as you need to make a mask at one time. The activity of the constituent components of such a cosmetic is short-lived, so it’s definitely not worth doing with the stock;
- Clean the skin before applying the mask with a cleansing gel. So nutrients easier to penetrate deep into the skin;
- Keep a wrinkle mask longer than a normal cosmetic. Note the time interval. It must be at least half an hour;
- Rinse off with plain cool tap water;
- Put on the mask in the evening, before bedtime, then the nutrients will have enough time to soak into the skin;
- Do not use cooked anti-wrinkle products too often. It will be enough twice a week. A greater amount is fraught with a slowdown of the metabolic processes in the skin;
- Change masks at least once every ten or twelve days. The constant use of the same will eventually cease to produce results.
