For some reason, since the rapid development of injection make-up and hardware, beauty experts look down on those who are still ready to take care of their skin condition at home.
It is believed that the use of anti wrinkle face masks is ineffective, but in vain. Phytotherapists confidently claim that you 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.
- Preparation of facial skin.How many times have they said that cleansing is the key to skin health. However, for some reason, many women skip this stage or don't treat it with enough care. And, however, cleansed skin "works" after using a mask up to 30% more efficiently. Remember, before applying the composition to your face, you must first clean your skin with lotion or toner. With oily skin, dirt and make-up is removed with a foam or exfoliating scrub, and with dry skin - with plain water.
- Preparation of the mask composition. 45% of allergic reactions in women occur because they do not check the expiration date of the anti-wrinkle mask components. And this must be done. And it is advisable to use only natural ingredients. The best way to test for allergies first is to apply a small amount of mask to the crook of your elbow. If after 15 minutes there is no allergic reaction, you can safely use it.
- Product application.The mask should be applied to the face gently with clean hands. The mechanism is as follows: the composition is applied from the bottom up along the massage line (from the neck to the hairline). Then transfer it from the nasolabial fold to the ear and from the chin to the earlobe. The next layer should be applied to the area around the lips and eyes. If the mask contains active ingredients, do not apply it to the lips and eyes. After fully applying the product, inhale and exhale several times. You can lie down and close your eyes. Be aware that certain face masks, especially those made from berries and berries, leak, so try to protect your clothes beforehand. It is advisable to tuck your hair in a shower cap and cover your shoulders and chest with a towel.
- "Age" mask.On average, it takes about half an hour to keep the mask from wrinkling, this time enough for the active ingredients to start affecting the top layer of the epidermis. But, if you feel a burning sensation, itching, or redness, hives, immediately rinse the mask with water. As a precaution, take a mild anti-allergy medication, and if possible, see your doctor.
- Remove the mask.The ideal option is to first gently remove the mask with a damp towel or sponge, this is what is called gentle cleansing. And only then wash it with cold or warm running water, without using soap. If you have dry skin, then wash the anti wrinkle mask with warm water, but with oily products, wash it off with cold water. After removing the remnants of the mask, a moisturizer should be applied to the facial skin.
What type of cream to choose for the face?
- For dry skin, you should choose a cream with a dense texture that nourishes intensively.
- For oily skin, a zinc-based cream with a mattifying effect is suitable.
- However, hypoallergenic products have proven to be very good in the treatment of sensitive skin.
