For some reason, since the accelerated development of injection and hardware cosmetology, beauty experts are descending a little on those who are still ready to maintain the condition of the skin at home.
The use of anti-wrinkle face masks is considered ineffective, but in vain. A professional phytotherapist confidently states that you simply do not know how to cook them properly.
Rules for using anti-wrinkle masks
In order for a face mask used at home to prove its effectiveness, several prerequisites must be met.
- Facial skin preparation.How many times have they said that cleansing is the key to healthy skin. However, for some reason, many women either skip this phase or do not treat it carefully enough. And, regardless of that, cleansed skin "works" after 30% more efficient use of masks. Remember, before applying the composition on the face, you must first cleanse the skin with a lotion or tonic. For oily skin, the remnants of dirt and makeup are washed off with foam or peeling, and for dry skin with plain water.
- Preparation of the composition of the mask.45% of allergic reactions in women occur due to the fact that they do not check the expiration date of the components of the anti-wrinkle mask. And this must be done. And it is desirable to use only natural ingredients. It is best to test for allergies by applying a small amount of mask on the wrong elbow. If after 15 minutes there is no allergic reaction, you can safely use it.
- Product application.The mask should be gently applied to the face with clean hands. The mechanics are as follows: the composition is applied from the bottom up along the massage lines (from the neck to the hairline). Then move from the nasolabial folds to the ears and from the chin to the earlobes. The next layer should be applied to the area around the lips and eyes. If the mask contains active ingredients, do not apply them on the lips and the area around the eyes. After complete application of the product, inhale and exhale several times. You can lie down and close your eyes. Keep in mind that certain face masks, especially those made from berries and fruits, leak, so try to protect your clothes beforehand. It is advisable to tuck your hair into a shower cap and cover your shoulders and chest with a towel.
- The "lifespan" of the mask.On average, it takes about half an hour for the mask not to wrinkle, this time is enough for the active ingredients to start affecting the upper layers of the epidermis. But if you feel burning, itching or see redness, rash, mask rinse immediately with water. Just in case, take mild anti-allergy medications and if possible visit your doctor.
- Removing the mask.The ideal option is to gently remove the mask first with a wet towel or sponge, this is the so-called gentle cleansing. And only then rinse with cold or warm running water, without the use of soap. If you own dry skin, the anti-wrinkle mask is rinsed off with warm water and the greasy product with cold. After removing the remnants of the mask, a moisturizer should be applied to the skin of the face.
What cream to choose for the face?
- For dry skin, opt for a cream with a thick texture that nourishes it intensively.
- For oily skin, a zinc-based cream with a mattifying effect is suitable.
- But hypoallergenic products have proven to be excellent in the care of sensitive skin.
