Moisturizing facial masks at home

Skin, like other organs of the human body, is aging, and quite fast, because it has an extensive surface contacting with an almost always malo-fragile environment.

The aging of the skin is divided into severalstages, among which we can identify the age after 25 years, when wilting is only beginning due to a change in the lipid barrier, a decrease in the amount of collagen, elastin, the appearance of an increased amount of free radicals. After 35 years, hormonal changes begin that worsen the skin condition. For example, in hyaluronic acid, a part of the tissues, changes begin, and the skin actively rubs moisture. And at 45-50, the functions of the sebaceous glands decrease, elastin fibers almost completely disappear.

And, of course, at any age the skin is exposedtemperature changes, ultraviolet irradiation. Its parameters also deteriorate due to poor nutrition, some diets, alcohol and tobacco abuse. Life-giving moisture leaves the tissues, and make up for its lack of moisturizing facial masks.

At once we will stipulate that any masks, includinghumidifying components, can not be done before going out, where low temperatures are observed. It is better to do it somewhere in an hour and be sure to apply a protective, sufficiently greasy cream after the procedures. Otherwise, all moisturizing facial masks will lose their effectiveness. But unprotected skin, on the contrary, will quickly give up moisture.

Masks for the face, moisturizing and nourishing the skin,are issued in the most various variants, for all ages, and also for different parts of the face. Particularly in this regard, the series are highlighted, designed to maintain the ideal condition of the skin around the eyes, which is particularly sensitive. The composition of moisturizing "contours" includes hyaluronic acid, glycerin, sodium salts, and to prevent edema, caffeine and special mineral components are sometimes included in the formulation.

Another common option ismoisturizing face masks with a lifting effect. To this end, highly effective plant extracts (gammamelis, oats, calendula, begonias, mint, aloe, etc.), vitamin complexes (A, E, C) and additional complex chemical formulas are introduced into cosmetic preparations, which in a short time restore the water balance and tighten the contours of the face. Also there are light gel compositions with a pleasant scent, which is not only useful but also very pleasant to use in cosmetic procedures.

For those who do not have the financial means tobuying an expensive tube or the product has suddenly ended, you can easily make moisturizing facial masks at home. They can be made, for example, from ordinary honey, which is ground white, applied for 20 minutes, and then washed off with warm, and then with cold water. Or mixed with water (50 ml of water + 2 tablespoons of honey) and applied for 10 minutes, followed by rinsing with cool water. These procedures are not suitable for those women who have vascular networks on their face.

For many types of skin, moisturizing masksfor a face based on aloe. Among them, the simplest is made from the juice of aloe and any vegetable oil. For her, the cut leaves are washed and placed for two weeks in the freezer to maximize the biologically active substances. After that the juice is squeezed out, two of its tablespoons are mixed with one tablespoon of oil (preferably pumpkin, olive, sesame or peach) and applied to the face and neck for 25-30 minutes. Then the mask is washed off with lukewarm water.

Masks with aloe juice have a pronounced moisturizing, toning and rejuvenating effect, which allows for periodic application to achieve a flowering appearance and deserved compliments.
