For some reason, since the rapid development of injection cosmetics and hardware, experts in the field of beauty look a little at those who are still ready to maintain a skin condition at home.
The use of anti-wrinkle face masks is believed to be ineffective, but blunt. An expert phytotherapist confidently confirms that you do not know exactly how to cook them properly.
Rules for the use of anti-wrinkle masks
In order for a face mask used at home to prove its effectiveness, a number of prerequisites must be met.
- Preparation of facial skin.How many times have they said that cleansing is the key to healthy skin. For some reason, however, many women skip this step or do not handle it carefully enough. And yet, "cleansed skin" after using masks works 30% in a more effective way. Remember, before applying the composition on your face, you must first cleanse your skin with a lotion or toner. With oily skin, dirt and makeup residues are washed with foam or exfoliating scrub, and for dry skin - with plain water.
- Prepare the composition of the mask.45% of allergic reactions in women occur because they do not check the expiry date of the components of the anti-wrinkle mask. And this has to be done. And it is recommended to use only natural ingredients. It is best to test for allergies in advance by placing a small amount of the mask on the elbow joint. If there is no allergic reaction after 15 minutes, you can safely use it.
- Product function.The mask should be applied gently on the face with clean hands. The mechanics are as follows: the composition is applied from the bottom up along the massage lines (from neck to hair). 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 to the area of the lips and eyes. After you have fully applied the product, inhale and exhale several times. You may lie down and close your eyes. Be aware that certain face masks leak, especially those made with berries and fruits, so try to protect your clothing in advance. It is advisable to pierce your hair into a shower cap and cover your shoulders and chest with a towel.
- "Lifecycle" of the mask.On average, it takes about half an hour to keep the mask from wrinkles, this time is enough for the active ingredients to begin to affect the upper layers of the epidermis. But if you feel a burning sensation, itching, or if you see redness, itching, immediately rinse the mask with water. Just in case, take mild anti-allergy medications, and if possible, see your doctor.
- Remove the mask.The ideal option is to gently remove the mask with a wet towel or sponge, this is the so-called gentle cleaning. And then only wash with cold or warm water, without using soap. If you own dry skin, then the anti-wrinkle mask is washed with warm water, but with an oily product it is washed with cold. After removing the remnants of the mask, a moisturizer should be applied to the human skin.
What type of cream to choose for the face?
- For dry skin, you should choose a cream with a dense texture that nourishes it intensely.
- For oily skin, a zinc-based cream with a maturation effect is ideal.
- But hypoallergenic products have been proven to be excellent in sensitive skin care.
