What is a lifting face mask?
Human skin has one unpleasant feature. With age, it loses elasticity and attractiveness, sags and becomes wrinkled.
It is impossible to eliminate such problems forever, but it is possible to slow down the aging process. Lifting face masks, which you can buy or prepare at home from safe ingredients, will help with this.
Lifting – manipulations to tighten the skin. The main goals are rejuvenation and the fight against signs of aging.
Plastic surgery, of course, is more effective, and the results last longer, but not everyone is ready to entrust their own appearance to a scalpel.
Face masks with a lifting effect allow you to achieve a guaranteed, fairly lasting result with regular use:
- in the epidermis, the production of elastin and collagen, which are necessary for density and youth, is activated;
- the skin acquires elasticity and a toned appearance;
- the oval of the face gains expressiveness and clarity of contours;
- double chin is eliminated;
- Shallow folds and wrinkles disappear.
The effectiveness of lifting masks can be compared to salon procedures aimed at face lifting.
Homemade formulations do not lead to negative consequences and complications.
Products made from natural ingredients will be a worthy replacement for professional cosmetic procedures. The end result will be no worse, but more economical.
Anti-aging face masks after 30
There are many recipes for masks that have a rejuvenating effect. Their regular implementation keeps the skin young and fresh for a long time, and also slows down the process of age-related changes in it.
- To prepare such a mask, you need to take any natural fermented milk product - yogurt, sour cream or whey. Separately, mash a ripe banana with a fork and mix these ingredients in an enamel or glass bowl. When the mixture becomes homogeneous, add olive or sesame oil for the face and a little royal jelly. The composition is applied to previously cleansed skin for half an hour, and then washed off with water at room temperature.
- A mask containing honey and components that have regenerating and restorative properties allows you to prolong the youth of your skin for a long time and remove the first wrinkles. A mask made from the following components helps perfectly - honey, aloe juice and sea buckthorn oil, taken in proportions 1: 1: 2. Geranium essential oil added to the mixture in small doses will enhance the effect.
- If a woman naturally has dry, sensitive skin, a mask made from wheat germ oil and high-fat sour cream will help prolong youth. The vitamins contained in the oils promote cell regeneration processes, resulting in the skin acquiring a healthy color and youthfulness. This mask is recommended to be applied not only to the face, but also to the neck and décolleté. For oily skin, it is recommended to add a little starch to the mask.
- An excellent result can be achieved by performing a cucumber mask twice a week, which, in addition to rejuvenating and nourishing, has a whitening effect. To prepare it, you should take a fresh cucumber and prepare a paste from it. Separately, you need to prepare red currant puree. You need to add a little sour cream or high-fat cream to the cucumber-currant mixture.
- A simple mask of egg yolk beaten with full-fat milk or cream with the addition of oatmeal helps to prolong the youth of the skin and slow down its aging. This composition effectively smoothes out the first wrinkles, making the skin elastic and firm.

Never touch the skin around your eyes, as it is very thin.
- After the tightening masks have done their job and tidied up the oval of the face, apply a moisturizer. This will allow you to consolidate the result.

Paraffin | It turns out that paraffin paraffin, sold in pharmacies and cosmetic departments, has long been used as a natural facelift. This mask will perfectly correct the oval, but it has one drawback. You cannot apply it yourself at home. Prepare the mixture by melting the paraffin (this can be done in a water bath) and adding a teaspoon of honey. This is how the first layer of the mask turns out. Afterwards, you need to melt more paraffin. Then the first layer is evenly applied, gauze cloth is placed on top, and four more layers.

It's all about the numerous mineral components contained in clay. They help restore natural processes in the epithelium and remove wrinkles. Any type of clay will work for this recipe. We take two spoons of it and dilute it with warm water. The result should be a paste with a consistency similar to sour cream.

Question answer
If masks are powerless, then you should go to a cosmetologist. Today, injection procedures are considered popular: biorevitalization, mesotherapy. They have a positive effect on the condition of the skin and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Also pay attention to hardware manipulations. Laser and ultrasound are used for tightening. But the procedure of introducing threads is especially popular for face lifting. This method really helps tighten the skin without plastic surgery.
If home and cosmetic methods are powerless, there is severe sagging, then only plastic surgery will help.
Indeed, such means exist. They are designed for express transformation. After application, a kind of film is formed that tightens the skin. But the effect of such masks does not last long. It disappears after removing makeup.
Reviews
LYUDMILA, 36 YEARS OLD:
“I’ve been using lifting face masks for a couple of months now, and recently I tried Grandma Agafya’s Recipes.”
I chose it because of the large number of reviews on the Internet, and the price was also good. The product is very easy to use, smells nice, and is easy to remove. The skin looks healthier and tighter after it, I recommend it.”
SOFIA, 41 YEARS OLD:
“I don’t really trust store-bought cosmetics with a tightening effect; after all, natural ingredients seem less aggressive.
Yes, you will have to wait longer for the results, but it will be worth it. My favorite mask is made from flaxseeds. The main thing is to wait for the mucus to appear, otherwise there will be no effect. A course of 15 days significantly rejuvenates, makes the skin dense and smooth.”

Lifting masks used for the face at home have tightening, smoothing, and rejuvenating properties, which makes them suitable for complete care of aging skin. But you need to understand that with their help you will not be able to achieve the same effect as after cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery.
Aisha Baron

I advise all women over 35 years old to use lifting masks.
They should be part of your skin care routine. But, unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. If you have obvious tissue ptosis, deep wrinkles, then do not expect an amazing transformation from masks, which is so often talked about in advertising of this or that product. In reality, this method will be powerless. Of course, masks have a positive effect on the skin, but they will not be able to tighten sagging tissue. In this case, you should pay attention to professional cosmetology or plastic surgery. All skin needs care. When the first signs of aging begin to appear, it is recommended to add a lifting maxi for the face.
To do this, you can use ready-made products or try to prepare the product yourself. In any case, such masks will have a positive effect on the beauty of your skin.
