mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ has already talked about the simplest rules for maintaining skin elasticity. Although these rules are effective, and can help at any age, it will happen for each of us to a different degree. The higher you climb the pedestal of age, the less the best results await you. The relaxation technique is also useful at any age, and not only for the skin of the face, but also for health in general.

Now let's talk about lifting masks that are possible at home.

Many women find homemade masks to be less effective. And completely in vain. Masks are the most common home skin care procedures.

What can masks do?

If you choose the right ingredients and apply the mask regularly, then there will definitely be a positive effect. Masks activate metabolic processes, soften, tone and nourish the skin.

Masks relieve fatigue and muscle tension. Masks can be done by combining relaxation techniques. And they will return the skin to a healthy color and youth. And yet, it is necessary to take into account that they contain natural and the freshest components, which contain vitamins, microelements, and mineral salts.

How to apply lifting masks?

Masks will give the greatest effect if they are used regularly, that is, in courses - 2-3 masks per week for 15-20 minutes for a month.

Apply masks only to cleansed skin. If the skin is very dry, you can pre-lubricate it with cream. And if oily - wipe with lotion or just wash your face with water. At a more mature age, before applying the mask, you can wipe your face with wine diluted in water.

By the way, good grape wine can also be used in masks. Can be wiped with diluted juice or milk, herbal infusion (mint, linden, parsley, chamomile) or salted water.

All these procedures will prepare the skin for the application of the mask. How to apply the mask, everyone decides for himself - with his own fingers or a special spatula. Apply the mask from the bottom up. If the components make up a liquid mass, then it is better to apply it with a cotton pad.

Can be cut on a thin napkin such as gauze, holes for the eyes, mouth and nose in the nostril area, soak in the solution and apply to the face and neck.

Usually masks are kept for 15 - 20 minutes, some can last for 30 minutes. During the procedure, lie still, relax, do not move your facial muscles (do not talk, do not smile).

You can remove the mask with a cotton pad soaked in water or diluted lemon juice, or you can simply rinse it off with warm water. The mask does not need to be kept for more than the prescribed time, especially if its composition is such that it forms a dry crust on the face. Otherwise, the opposite result may occur, that is, the skin is stretched and a feeling of fatigue arises.

There are masks that represent an exception to this rule, but we will not talk about them today.

After the mask, the face can be wiped with ice cubes made from herbal infusions. A face mask with a lifting effect tightens the skin well, so after applying it, you may feel some dryness. It is easy to get rid of it by applying moisturizers.
