Express masks are a lifesaver before an important event or holiday. In one application they restore skin elasticity, water balance, reduce wrinkles and improve complexion. If it is not possible to use a ready-made store-bought mask, preparing it at home is an excellent alternative.

Aloe with glycerin for quick hydration

Whatever they say about glycerin in the sense of a drying effect with prolonged use, but right here and now, that is, immediately before a special event, it will quickly bring the skin to life, make it denser and smooth out wrinkles. If you also mix it with aloe juice, you can also get additional hydration.

So it still makes sense to mix two teaspoons of glycerin with one teaspoon of aloe juice, apply a thick layer for 15 minutes, rinse and see what happens. If, during the process, you also spray your face with water from a spray bottle or sit next to a humidifier, then the result should be just what you need.

Firming face masks: application features

After 35 years, the skin begins to gradually age. It is still too early for hormonal changes during this period, but the first signs of age appear:

metabolism slows down;
swelling occurs;
wrinkles become more pronounced;
skin density and tone decrease.

After 30–40 years, the condition of the skin directly depends on the quality and regularity of skin care

The aging process is partly dependent on the environment, lifestyle and other factors, but is generally natural. Although with proper care they can be delayed, albeit temporarily. This is where homemade masks can help. They act similarly to store-bought products, replenishing the lack of nutrients and moisture. And this, in turn, prevents skin aging. In addition, depending on the set of ingredients, self-prepared masks have different effects:

cleansing - removes impurities and dead particles from the skin, improving blood circulation;
moisturizing - maintain water balance, preventing peeling and sagging;
nutritious - saturate the skin with vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances, slowing down aging;
anti-aging - smooth out wrinkles, correct oval shape and restore tone;
soothing - divided into mattifying compositions for problem skin and relieving irritation;
brightening - whitens and evens out the complexion, removing spots, age-related pigmentation or freckles.

Cleansing and brightening masks tend to dry out the skin, so it is advisable to combine them with moisturizing and nourishing recipes

Rules for using face masks

To ensure that homemade masks only bring benefits, try to follow the recommendations:

Fresh ingredients are used to prepare the products;
do not mix the ingredients in metal containers;
always check unfamiliar recipes for possible allergic reactions;
masks are applied only to clean skin;
if there are no problems with blood pressure and blood vessels, the face is pre-steamed;
When keeping the mixture on the skin, it is advisable to lie down and temporarily minimize facial expressions;
Do not allow the mask to dry out, periodically moisten it with water;
You need to do the procedures regularly, but not often - 2 times a week is enough.

All cosmetics are applied strictly along massage lines

Rapid rejuvenation

To quickly erase a couple of years from your face, you should try such a wonderful thing as peeling, which will remove dead, dry skin from your face, thereby erasing fine wrinkles and giving your skin a youthful glow. Here, according to the advice of the same imported beauty bloggers, of both sexes, you can wipe your face with ripe papaya gruel, leave the gruel on your face until it dries a little, massage again and rinse. The result is again promised to be instant!

If for some reason you don’t have papaya on hand, then mix 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed orange (grapefruit, tangerine) juice with 2 teaspoons of low-fat cottage cheese. Otherwise, everything is exactly the same as in the case of peeling with papaya, only now you can add beautiful words about lactic acid to the beautiful words about enzymes and fruit acids.

After peeling, the skin requires hydration and nutrition, otherwise it may react with dryness, tightness, creases and wrinkles. If you don’t have time, then apply a good moisturizer or gel to your skin. If you still have an extra half hour left, then mix the cucumber pulp with aloe vera juice, slightly thicken with ground oatmeal (wheat flour, almond flakes) and apply to the skin for 15-20 minutes.

The result of using first the peeling and then the mask is promised to be not only immediate, but also downright stunning!
