Anti-wrinkle eye masks
As they say, the eyes are a mirror of the soul, which is one of the reasons why women around the world are very careful about this facial area. The skin around them is quite delicate and sensitive, prone to dryness, which leads to the premature formation of wrinkles. In addition, active facial expressions contribute to this, because during squinting or smiling muscles in this area are actively involved. Moreover, many are faced with this problem due to age-related changes, which becomes a catalyst, if not the main cause of wrinkles.
Features
As women age, wrinkles appear around the eyes. It is worth referring to the topic of traditional medicine and see what home remedies for taking care of this area will help to minimize the number of wrinkles, make them invisible, and also prevent the appearance of new ones.
Today, with the development of medicine and cosmetic products, it is still difficult to carefully monitor the skin around the eyes, so popular recipes are still very popular. However, it is impossible to look for a solution to a problem without understanding its causes and specifics.
For the area around the eyes, a significant role is played by the biological change of the body, directly related to aging. Covers become less elastic due to the gradual decrease in the amount of collagen that determines elasticity. To restore it, it is necessary to apply tightening and anti-aging remedies.
A separate item worth mentioning the problems associated with the emergence of the "crow's feet." Mimic wrinkles can appear even at a fairly young age - after 30. Among the reasons for their appearance is called stretching of the skin in appropriate places because of the expressiveness of mimicry, which reflects all emotions on the face, but this is not a reason to stop laughing, smiling and showing other feelings. Through the use of various means to remove facial wrinkles can significantly smooth out the areas around the eyes.
There are various products that help to get rid of deep folds, because they adversely affect the appearance. The absence of problems around the eyes is the main indicator of a woman’s health and beauty. These criteria are reflected directly and around the eye contour.
For eyelid skin, there are a number of drugs and folk recipes that are used to maintain the elastic state of this area and get rid of the bags. These methods are well suited against edema. Such unpleasant symptoms indicate the accumulation of interstitial fluid in this area, which is a consequence of age-related changes, hormonal changes and general body fatigue. It does not look the most aesthetic way, so it is not surprising that women try their best to get rid of them.
Varieties
Some people naively believe that facial skin care begins only with the appearance of the first bells, barely noticeable wrinkles, which occurs already in adulthood. However, this position is fundamentally wrong. Consider the following:
- Girls after 30 years should begin to closely monitor the condition of their skin and make both cosmetic and folk masks for the face. They will slow down the aging process and stimulate the body to make new cells. Properly chosen tool will refresh your eyes. For this purpose, nourishing masks are great, which are also useful in caring for the skin in 35 years.
- After reaching 40 you need to do nutrition and rejuvenation of problem areas of the face., using tightening masks containing collagen, beeswax, hyaluronic acid, various oils, glycerin. They give the skin a healthy and well-groomed appearance.
- After 45 years, wrinkles become deeper and more noticeable, as a result of which they attract more attention to themselves, so the fight against them should move into an active phase. Use creams and products that have a complex effect on this area of the face: reduce swelling, relieve redness and resist the appearance of bags under the eyes. This will help to solve not one side of the problem, but the whole spectrum.
- To these procedures, you must add a lifting mask after 50-55 years, because from this point on, the eye contour should be not only moist, but also taut. In achieving the desired effect, the key role is played by compliance with certain rules for the use of cosmetics and face care, which will be discussed below.
- 60 years is another date when measures to care for your face should be strengthened, because the epidermis has already lost its elasticity, has become more thin and wrinkled. From this time on, the approach becomes inclusive and regular (this is the most important).
Most often, women of different ages turn to cosmetic products, but folk remedies, of which there are a large number, will have an additional effect.
How to make at home?
Among the people, various concoctions, gels and creams have become very popular, and they are quite easy to prepare at home.
Recipes
If you are going to fight the emergence of new wrinkles, you should tighten and smooth the existing ones. First you need to make an infusion of greens, which will include parsley directly. One tablespoon of greens should pour a third or half cup of boiling water.
The next step will be the infusion of the decoction for fifteen minutes (you must first tightly close the container with it with a lid). Scratch potatoes on a fine grater and add one tablespoon of vegetable oil to the mass, two tablespoons of prepared liquid. Next, take the gauze and spread it in a thin even layer on it beforehand stirred mush. Place the cloth over your eyes, holding the mask for up to twenty minutes.
The key point is the fact that the contents cannot be flushed. It is simply removed by a cotton pad, since the useful elements that make up the gel can easily be washed off with water, and then the whole procedure will be meaningless. It is better to make this mask before bedtime, for the night allowing nutrients to be absorbed into the skin.
Anti-aging starch ointment with the effect of Botox can, with regular use, not only tighten the skin, but also significantly reduce the number of wrinkles, smoothing them out. To properly achieve this result, follow the tips below:
- Boil the water. While this process is in progress, take a tablespoon of starch and pour it into 100 ml of cool water. Stir.
- Pour the liquid into 50 ml of boiling water. This mixture should be boiled until it thickens, but do not bring it to a boil. As soon as the texture becomes more dense, set the container aside, allowing the starch to cool. After that add to it one spoon of sour cream of high fat content.
- Prepare carrot juice preferably fresh, because it has a wide range of nutrients.
- Add the juice to the mixture of starch and sour cream, which has already insisted.
- Having mixed the received means, distribute it in an even layer on the skin around the eyes and hold until the mask dries. Now you can apply a second layer, waiting again when it dries.
- Removing the mask half an hour later, spread the face with a nourishing cream.
This recipe is applied every day (for two weeks), after which the skin area should “rest” for a week.
One of the most remarkable recipes is the use of aloe to moisturize the area around the eyes. It is known for its effective nutrition of the skin, which helps to eliminate dryness in this area.
To achieve this result, regularly apply aloe juice on problem areas before going to bed. From a fresh leaf of a plant, it is necessary to squeeze out a certain amount of drops, which will subsequently be applied around the eyes.
If you can not find a real plant, then there is a way out too. You only need to buy in the pharmacy the juice of this plant or ointment (can be sold as a gel), which contains up to 98% of aloe oil. It should be used in the same way as in the above described case with the juice from the leaves: lubricate problem areas at bedtime.
The next tool that actively fights wrinkles around the eyes is a mask with honey. This method simply needs to be applied to eliminate dryness, especially since the ingredients for the recipe will be found in the kitchen of absolutely every hostess.
You should take 1 tablespoon of honey, wheat flour, one beaten egg white and mix. If honey is thick, it must be melted in advance. If there is no flour at home, oatmeal will come to replace it. After mixing, apply the resulting texture to the area affected by wrinkles. The time of use of the gel - until it dries, which corresponds to approximately fifteen minutes. Then you need to wash. If oatmeal was used in the composition, then Masochka should last longer - about forty minutes.
Another simple and productive tool is a mask of potatoes, which is rubbed on a fine grater, followed by the addition of milk or cream. The gruel is spread on problem areas and lasts about fifteen minutes.
Cosmetic use can easily be found in fruits by making, for example, mango or banana masks. Making the nutritional mass of the latter, mash the fruit to the pulp, take it in the amount of two tablespoons, add the same amount of pre-melted butter, mix everything. Heat the mixture with fingertips and apply under and around the eyes. After half an hour, rinse with warm water.
The same procedure can be done with mango, which will provide deep hydration and intensively nourish the skin with beneficial components.
Oriental beauties at one time unexpectedly discovered the benefits of using spices against the appearance of “crow's feet”. The first place in terms of effectiveness is occupied by turmeric, which contains elements that prevent the occurrence of redness and irritation. It promotes rapid cell regeneration. Here is the prescription:
- Take two teaspoons of turmeric and three tablespoons of pineapple juice.
- Stirring ingredients to a dense consistency, let it brew the mixture, in the meantime cleanse your skin.
- Apply mask on problem areas and leave it for 30 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
The procedure is done within a week, three or four times, at your personal discretion. With proper use of this spice in combination with other elements (for example, with olive oil), effects in the form of a reconstructed area of the skin will be noticeable.
The same effect can be achieved by using a gelatin remedy, but this recipe has its own specificity, without understanding which, irreversible harm can be done to the skin by stretching it. To avoid this, carefully read the instructions and carefully follow them:
- To begin with, scrape a face. This will visibly cleanse the pores, remove excess skin particles by peeling them off. You can use a ready scrub, and you can make it at home (using oatmeal).
- Take a handful of ground or whole oatmeal, dilute with warm water, mix thoroughly in thick mush. Gradually take soft flakes and gently massage their face with them.After only a couple of seconds, the flakes will become soapy and begin to cleanse the skin.
- Next, proceed to the preparation of the mask. Pour one tablespoonful of gelatin into a bowl. Add warmed fat milk to it and remove the container for a while, due to which the gelatin will swell.
- Waiting for this put in a mixture of vitamins A and E, mix everything thoroughly.
- Apply the finished mask to the area around the eye contour with a thick layer, you can even. Cover also the upper and lower eyelids, it will have a rejuvenating effect and relieve swelling.
- When the ointment hardens, you will need to remove it, but you can not do this, tightening the film from the face, otherwise it will lead to stretching of the dermis, which directly contradicts the objectives of the procedure. Instead, you need to resort to using cotton pads soaked in milk. Putting these discs on your eyes and waiting for the mixture to soften, you need to gently wash it off with milk and remove the remnants of the mass.
- After that, use eye cream.
This method should not get carried away, because it is very active in the skin. A similar effect has a “crow's feet” and a means of glycerin, which is a safe and affordable product to combat imperfections. Its most important advantage is the absence of contraindications and harmful effects. It is suitable for almost all skin types, which under the action of glycerin becomes softer and more elastic. Consider how to make a mask:
- To start you need not shake the bottle very strongly to prepare it for subsequent actions.
- As additional components, use vitamins A or E., which can be squeezed out directly into the bottle with the drug, but still it is better to mix it in a ceramic dish, thus avoiding undesirable reactions of the ingredients. This is especially true for those who will add other elements to the composition - they can oxidize if used improperly, so the best option would be to refuse to mix the substances in a metal dish.
- Let's make a reservation right away that it is preferable to dilute glycerin with actions of folk remedies: herbs, oils, even decoction. This will reduce the intensity of the substance, the emphasis is on this, because the liquid has a powerful biological effect. Moreover, experts advise against applying it to your face with your fingertips due to the active reaction of the substance.
- If you are going to apply glycerol products to extremely sensitive areas around the eyes, It is necessary to test the composition in other areas.
Tip: you do not need to heat the mask with your fingers, but it is necessary to apply it with a thin (almost weightless) layer, without driving the agent into the epidermis. It is only necessary to smear the problem place - and remove it in fifteen minutes.
- As in the case of gelatin, you can not tear off the film coating. You need to take a wet napkin and use it to wipe the healing mass from the face. After such a cosmetic session, in no case should you immediately wash with special gels and lubricate your face with creams, as this only contributes to irritation of the dermis and the appearance of redness on it.
- This method can be used only a couple of times a week for a month, the rest of the time you need to give the skin a “breather”. With a thorough adherence to the recommendations and the rational use of the product, the skin loses its predisposition to wrinkles and premature aging.
