Yeast mask

Brewer's yeast is known for maintaining the natural pH balance of the skin. Yeast masks do an excellent job of cleansing the epidermis. After them, the skin surface becomes fresher and tighter.

A yeast balm for aging facial skin is being prepared based on olive oil. It must be first cold pressed and unrefined. This oily solution easily enters tissue cells, delivering beneficial substances from other components of olive oil.

The recipe contains a yeast mask, which includes 10-15 g of:

• brewer's yeast;
• olive oil;
• natural honey;
• sweet almond oil.

The ingredients are mixed and the bowl with them is placed in a warm place for 30 minutes. This time is enough to activate the yeast. The procedure is performed with the mixture in a volume of 1 tbsp. l. The face is smeared with a thick layer of the mixture, left for 18-20 minutes, and washed off with lukewarm water.

There is no need to prepare the composition in reserve - it should always be fresh.

The beneficial effect of the mask is explained by the oils it contains, so the epidermis will not be tight and dry. But masks with yeast for aging dermis are not recommended for those with a skin predisposition to the appearance of redness.

What happens to our skin after 45 years

With age, the dermis begins to produce less elastin and collagen. This leads to the appearance of wrinkles, because collagen occupies up to 30% of the total volume of particles in tissues, and elastin helps maintain skin elasticity. When the percentage of these beneficial particles decreases, the skin stretches and loses elasticity.

After 45 years, tissues lose the ability to adapt to the negative effects of the environment. The following factors can cause tissue aging:

• hormonal changes, causing the face to become duller;
• UV rays, which cause stains;
• lack of hyaluronic acid due to which the face becomes dry and lifeless;
• loss of facial muscle tone, which is responsible for maintaining tissue elasticity;
• smoking and alcohol lead to loss of hyaluronic acid and leaching of microelements from tissues.

Fortunately, there are ways to rejuvenate the face, including cleansing and nourishing products, moisturizing creams, self-massage, taking vitamins, and masks with a lifting effect.

Egg white mask

Egg white tightens the skin, deep wrinkles are reduced, fine wrinkles are smoothed, age spots are whitened.

A protein face mask for aging skin consists of the following components:

• lemon juice - 1 spoon for coffee;
• 1 egg white;
• ground oatmeal - 0.5 tbsp. l.

Chopped oats are poured with 1 tbsp. l. boiling water and infuse for 15 minutes. The egg white is whipped into foam. The ingredients are mixed, applied to the skin of the face, and left for 15 minutes. Afterwards, it is washed off with lukewarm water, the face is wiped with a tonic, and lubricated with a moisturizing or nourishing cream.

How to properly care for yourself and your face after the age of 45

Vegetable-based masks help replenish the deficiency of vitamins and minerals in the skin. Vegetables have the following beneficial properties for facial skin:

Vegetable masks are very easy to prepare. It is necessary to choose high-quality and fresh products. The product must be crushed with a blender or on a grater until pureed. Another option is to simply cut into thin circles. Then it remains to put the finished product on your face.

Alternatively, you can simply lubricate your face with your chosen vegetable juice. It is used both in pure form and mixed with other components. For example, sour cream and egg yolk are suitable.

Avocado mask

The oily pulp of the “alligator pear” is soft, containing many useful elements. Its presence in masks is explained by its compatibility with other oils and ingredients.

This mask recipe is remarkable in that the composition is well absorbed into all layers of the dermis and gives it renewal and even relief.

You will need in equal proportions:

• avocado;
• olive oil;
• egg yolk.

The mixture is applied to clean, damp facial skin and covered with a warm, wet towel. Keep the mask on for about 15 minutes, wash off with lukewarm water, then wipe your face with an ice cube.

The contrast helps to quickly narrow pores. And the nutritional elements of the mask, penetrating into open pores, will rejuvenate the skin for a while.

The effectiveness of using homemade face masks

• Firstly, a single face mask will give virtually no results. Therefore, tune in to a comprehensive program. To do this, you need to choose the recipe that suits your skin best. And repeat the procedures at least 2 times a week, for a month or two.
• Secondly, any home masks after 45 years are made after complete cleansing of the epidermis with oil, milk or foam, washed off with copious amounts of water. This is followed by a steam bath. Now that the pores are open and ready for optimal absorption of nutrients, apply a face mask.
• Thirdly, no matter what face masks you make at home, they are not applied to the eyelids and lips - for these parts of the body there are separate formulations designed specifically for skin after 45 years.
• Fourthly, in order not to stretch the epidermis and not contribute to the appearance of new wrinkles, both salon and home compositions are distributed over the face with a soft brush made of synthetic bristles (natural bristles absorb too much). This, especially after 45 years, needs to be done only from the bottom up.
• Fifthly, not only masks, but also the atmosphere that you create at home have a beneficial effect on facial skin. Spend the session in a relaxing environment, dimming the lights and turning on pleasant music. Be sure to lie down so that the composition does not pull the epidermis down when it hardens. Naturally, you cannot speak, much less laugh, during the procedure.
• Sixthly, you need to take off homemade face masks no less carefully than you apply them.
• Seventh, it would be a good idea to complement cosmetic procedures by avoiding salty, fatty, fried, alcoholic and cigarette foods – at least for the night. After 45 years, such habits lead to very rapid degradation of the deep layers of the dermis and contribute to the loss of natural collagen and elastin.
• Eighth, after you complete your home facial treatments, never rub your skin with a towel. It is best to wait for natural absorption of moisture. But if you are in a hurry, just blot the epidermis with a dry cloth.
• Ninth, believe in success. And more positive emotions - without them, no homemade masks after 45 years will make you younger.

Now that you are ready not only physically, but also mentally, you can begin the procedures.

Gelatin mask

Gelatin is collagen, and this substance is extremely necessary for aging skin. And the gelatin mask will fill the missing substance.

But it is very time-consuming (about 1.5 hours) required to compose and apply the mixed mix. Therefore, it is worth starting home cosmetology on a day off.

Required:

• dilute the gelatin with hot water (as indicated on the package) and let it swell;
• After the time indicated on the package, place the swollen mass in a water bath;
• after dissolution, gelatin must be cooled to 36.6 ° C;
• Apply to the face, chin, neck, avoiding the areas around the eyes.

The gelatin mask must be applied in several layers. This is convenient to do with a thick brush. Stand for 30 minutes. You must be in a supine and relaxed position at all times. The seized mask in the form of a film is not rinsed with water, but is removed by pulling it off by the edge.

This event is held once a month. The epidermis will acquire a fresh and youthful appearance for more than one year. The skin texture will even out, blood flow will increase, and the spider veins will disappear. The complexity of execution does not prevent the gelatin mask from being among the top effective for skin surfaces that have lost elasticity and are covered with multiple wrinkles.

Home Recipes

Masks made at home with your own hands are not much different in action from salon procedures. But they require virtually no costs and can be applied at any convenient time.

The main thing is to correctly determine your skin type and select the main ingredients according to it.

For dry type

Dry facial skin is most prone to moisture loss and wrinkle formation. Mixtures made according to the following recipes will help restore skin turgor:

1. Combine two tablespoons of cottage cheese with a tablespoon of cream and 50 g of honey. After mixing, apply to the face for 20-25 minutes, then wash with a decoction of herbs - string, chamomile, nettle. To prepare a decoction, pour 2 tablespoons of herbs into 300 ml of boiling water, keep in a water bath for 12-15 minutes, filter after cooling.
2. Grind the yolk of one egg until white with a tablespoon of honey and 2 tablespoons of natural oil (olive, flaxseed, peach, apricot). Keep on your face for 20-25 minutes, then remove with a tissue and wash with warm water.
3. Dilute a teaspoon of mustard powder with 2 tablespoons of warm milk. Add 75 ml of flaxseed or corn oil and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply a thin layer, rinse after 7-10 minutes.
4. You can use this nutritional mixture for your eyelids. Mix the yolk of one egg with 50 g of melted butter and the contents of one capsule of the vitamin preparation Aevit.

For oily type

In adulthood, oily facial skin is not very common. Therefore, you need to use only special mixtures that will help cleanse your face of sebaceous gland secretions and remove excess shine .

1. Dilute a tablespoon of white or blue cosmetic clay with kefir to a pasty consistency. Apply to face for half an hour, then rinse with warm water.
2. Beat the whites until foamy, add 2 tablespoons of potato starch and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Stir and apply to face for 20 minutes. Then remove the remaining mixture with a cotton swab soaked in a decoction of herbs and wash with warm water.
3. Pour 50 mg of dry kelp seaweed into 250 ml of boiling water. After 20 minutes, strain and add 1 sachet of instant gelatin to the broth. Leave for half an hour to swell, then apply to the face, avoiding the area around the eyes. Keep the mixture for 20 minutes. This recipe is very good to use to increase the elasticity of facial skin.

The epidermis that is prone to oiliness can be pampered with vegetable or fruit applications by placing thin slices of raw potato, cucumber, tomato, mango, avocado or apple on it.

You need to keep them for at least 15 minutes. It is recommended to do such vitamin applications every other day.

For combined type

Only 20% of people over the age of 45 have a combination type of facial skin: dry areas on the forehead and cheeks and oily areas on the nose and chin. For this epidermal layer, the following masks will be most effective:

1. Mix 30 g of oatmeal with 1 teaspoon of flaxseed flour. Pour in 50 ml of milk and microwave for 3 minutes. Cool the mixture and apply to the face. After 20 minutes, wash with a decoction of herbs.
2. Mix 20 g of fresh yeast with 50 g of liquid honey and 3 tablespoons of cream. Rinse off any remaining composition with water after 15 minutes.
3. Grind the pulp of half a banana with 100 g of low-fat sour cream, add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Wash after 18-20 minutes.

If the skin on different parts of the face is very different in appearance, then in this case you will need to prepare not one, but two mixtures - for dry and oily types - and apply them separately.

For aging skin

Mature facial skin needs increased hydration and nutrition. When taking care of beauty and youth, it is important not to overdo it, so as not to provoke the appearance of redness and swelling .

Compositions that cosmetologists recommend for aging skin, when used regularly, can compete with Botox and other “beauty injections”:

1. "Golden" mask. Grate a small piece of ginger. For the mask you will need a tablespoon of ginger mass and honey, half a teaspoon of turmeric powder. Apply the mask to the facial skin, avoiding the paraorbital area, for no more than 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water and apply nourishing cream to your face.
2. A mask with aloe leaves helps against swelling and fine wrinkles. Keep three large lower leaves from a plant that is at least 3 years old in the refrigerator for a day. Then chop, add a tablespoon of honey and cognac, 1 yolk. Apply the mixture to the face once a week for 25-30 minutes before bedtime after cleansing the face.
3. Mash a teaspoon of red caviar, combine with the yolk of one chicken egg and 50 ml of heavy cream. Keep it for half an hour. This composition intensively tightens the skin and prevents its aging. It is recommended to use every other day for 2 weeks.

It is important to remember that constant stress, nervous disorders and lack of sleep do not have the best effect on the skin and can negate the effect of cosmetic procedures.

Therefore, in order to delay skin aging, you need to maintain peace of mind and always be in a great mood.

Celandine mask

Often the fading dermis is covered with pigmentation. And the herb celandine will help whiten the appearance of lentigo and chloasma - they certainly do not decorate the face of a mature woman. But the mask requires a fresh plant. A distinctive property of celandine is its orange-colored juice, which appears when leaves or stems are broken off.

The balm for the face with aging skin contains finely chopped celandine (it must be freshly picked) and the juice of a recently picked cucumber. The skin is lubricated with a cocktail, the face is covered with a moistened terry cloth. The mask lasts for 15-20 minutes.

The procedure is done once every 7-8 days using only fresh herbs until the age spots disappear.

Features of the epidermis in maturity

In cosmetology terminology, there is the concept of “mature skin”. This means that “mature” refers to the dermis of people who have reached 35-45 years of age.

Its characteristic features are the following:

• The beginning of aging, that is, the appearance of excessive dryness, loss of firmness and elasticity.
• The presence of visually noticeable capillaries, swelling under the eyes (so-called “bags”).

All these phenomena occur because metabolic processes are disrupted and cells lack nutrition and hydration. Their “deformation” occurs, that is, the entire surface seems to float and spread in different directions, forming the ground for wrinkles.

A remarkable fact is that people can suffer from the symptoms described above much earlier; this happens if the care was not correct and the lifestyle was immoral.

If the rules were followed, the diet was correct, and the daily routine corresponded to the recommendations of doctors, then the problem of aging skin may arise much later, not necessarily by the age of 45. But, one way or another, 45 is the point when the surface of the skin needs special care, both in the salon and at home.

The following groups of factors influence aging:

1. Hereditary.
2. Hormonal.
3. Metabolic.
4. Biochemical.

Oil mask

Cocktails containing olive oil and esters will help restore tone to dry, dull skin:

• roses;
• rosehip;
• incense;
• sage;
• patchouli.

A mix is ​​prepared from 100 ml of unrefined, cold-pressed olive oil with the addition of 5 drops of each ester. The preparation is stored in a bottle and used in the evenings in a lukewarm state.

The procedure begins with steaming the clean epidermis, onto which an oil mask is applied immediately after the bath manipulation. It stays on the face and neck for 15 minutes, and the excess is removed with a soft cloth.

The skin will absorb the oily mixture, which will concentrate in the upper layer of the skin. As a result, after 7 days, the overdried dermis will be transformed and become refreshed and rejuvenated.

Chocolate mask

Dark (bitter) chocolate product with a high percentage of cocoa content is recognized as a strong antioxidant. The flavonoids present in it are involved in the production of collagen by skin tissue.

Chocolate improves the structure of the epidermis, making it elastic and aligned. And together with cream, shea butter, aloe vera juice, it safely eliminates the signs of aging.

A chocolate mask for decrepit facial dermis at home is carried out according to the instructions.

• 50 g of dark chocolate dissolves in a water bath.
• 1 tsp is poured into it. high fat cream.
• Add 1 tsp. aloe vera juice.
• Includes 1 coffee scoop of shea butter.

Expert opinion

TRY IT!

The mixed ingredients are warm and applied to the clean, previously softened skin surface of the face, neck and décolleté. Let the “chocolate cocktail” sit for 20 minutes and wash off with a significant volume of heated water. The procedure is carried out once every 3-4 days.

How to rejuvenate your face after 45 years at home

Constant visits to beauty salons and procedures performed by professionals are a very effective way of rejuvenation, but not every woman can afford such luxury.

• Deep cleansing with a water bath will help open pores, remove impurities and prepare the structure of the epidermis for the application of a nourishing product. Boil the leaves of linden, nettle, chamomile, violet and gently steam your face over the container, covering the top with a towel. This steam procedure is very useful.
