Every woman wants to be young and beautiful - this is already an axiom. Attractive young ladies know that the result in this difficult job mainly depends on the amount of effort invested, not on what external data was originally presented. This means that a beautiful woman is, above all, an intelligent woman who knows the secrets of effective self-care. Anti-aging face masks are a good help in this - specially developed mixtures that inhibit the aging process of the skin.
Professional anti-aging masks
Currently, all well-known cosmetic brands produce anti-aging masks. This product is intended for mature skin that begins to lose elasticity due to age. Professionals call this category of cosmetic products revitalizing masks. As a rule, such mixtures have a complex action - intensively nourishes and moisturizes the skin, activates microcirculation and smoothes wrinkles. Therefore, the use of masks can be compared to "first aid" for aging skin. Thanks to the substances it contains, such a substance affects the upper layers of the epidermis quickly enough, allowing you to refresh the skin in minutes. The most effective anti-aging masks today, according to cosmetologists, are biomatrix masks.
Biomatrix is a strip of tissue impregnated with a special compound, which is applied to the desired area of the face or neck. Previously, such a mask is moistened with water, which activates its components. This type of care product contains plant collagen, fruit extracts, hyaluronic acid and other elements that stimulate the regeneration processes in the skin. Often biomatrices are based on algae. When wet, these masks turn into a gel substance, which is simply washed off with water after use.

For all the effectiveness of professional medicines, they are more likely to be an emergency than a type of daily care. And no matter how much we talk about innovations in the field of cosmetology, no one has come up with anything more effective than natural methods to combat skin aging. All the recognized beauties of the world still produce anti-aging masks at home and use only natural ingredients. As a rule, the compositions of such masks are simple and uncomplicated, but this does not prevent them from effectively fighting wrinkles. An additional plus is the fact that the products from which the nourishing mask is made are available in the refrigerator at almost every housewife.
The most popular recipes for homemade anti-aging formulations today are the following:

It is necessary to obtain a mixture of the consistency of sour cream, after which one tablespoon (teaspoon) of olive oil is added to it. The resulting substance is applied to the prepared skin of the face and neck.

The substance is mixed, gradually added 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 10 drops of vitamin A (solution), and one drop of lemon juice and camphor alcohol.
Masks according to skin type
It is also important to choose the components of anti-aging products according to your skin type. Cosmetologists say that the best anti-aging face masks for dry skin are mustard-based blends. One teaspoon of dry mustard is diluted with one tablespoon of vegetable oil. With the help of warm water, the mixture becomes elastic (it should become the consistency of sour cream). Hold this mask for five minutes. After rinsing the solution, the face is necessarily lubricated with a nourishing cream.
Oily, aging skin is saved by oatmeal. According to the recipe, three teaspoons of oatmeal are mixed with five drops of lemon juice and the protein of one egg. The mixture is applied to the skin of the face and held for 20 minutes. Normal to combination skin prefers fruit blends. They are prepared as follows: add one teaspoon of freshly squeezed juice to the yolk. This mixture is applied to the surface of the face and neck and left for 20-30 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
And most importantly, everyone who wants to preserve the freshness and youthfulness of the skin, and consequently the beauty for many years, should remember - it should be regular.
Even the most effective mask will not do much good if done occasionally.
Special care - namely, the application of anti-aging masks can be attributed to this type of procedure - is carried out at least once a week. Only in this case, the result will be, as they say, "on the face". It is not in vain that the great Coco Chanel said that there are no ugly women, and she called those who leave such an impression simply lazy. This means that the secret of all famous ladies is simple and accessible to every woman - it is self-confidence plus regular self-care!
