Probably no woman over 35 likes to look "her age, " let alone look older than her age.
There are a lot of anti-aging cosmetics now - that's great, but effective products don't come cheap and going to salons takes time as well as a lot of money.
Of course, beauty is more expensive, but while you can't buy good cosmetics or sign up for a salon, you need to take care of your skin with the help of available means, and you should pay as much attention to your face as possible.
Folk remedies will always be in demand, not just because they're cheap, but because they're made with the most natural ingredients - food.
There are many folk remedies for facial skin rejuvenation, but they must be used continuously.
Scrubs and masks
The most popular are the facial rejuvenation masks, made according to popular recipes. They will be most effective if the skin is prepared first: steamed with decoctions of medicinal herbs - you can make compresses or hold your face over a container of hot steam. And homemade scrubs help remove the top layer of dead cells.
A good scrub can be done quickly, using wild berry puree and sugar, for example. Brown sugar is mixed with blackcurrant porridge, strawberry, etc. , rubbed and applied to a steamed face for 5-7 minutes, then gently massage the skin along the massage lines and rinse with warm water. The skin is hydrated and softer - you can apply a mask. These scrubs cannot be used more than once a week, and for very dry skin - twice a month.
It is convenient to make masks with vegetable oils at home - they are always in the kitchen. Flaxseed oil has pronounced anti-aging properties. Can be used alone or mixed with other ingredients. This mask is very nourishing: flaxseed oil and honey (1 teaspoon each) are mixed with raw yolk, soak in warm water for several minutes, apply the heated mixture to face for 15 minutes, rinse with warm water.
Likewise, the mask is made with olive oil, rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants. For the 1st. me. butter, add egg yolk, a little honey and lemon juice, mix until smooth and apply to face, neck and décolleté for 20 minutes.
A well-known folk remedy for rejuvenation is common lard: it makes the skin soft and supple and removes wrinkles. A piece of fresh unsalted lard is spread all over the face and, after 15 minutes, they are washed with warm water and then cold.
Many homes have an aloe plant: bio-stimulated aloe masks work wonders - some of the plant's lower leaves should be kept on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for 10-14 days before use. For the mask: 1 tbsp. me. aloe vera porridge and powdered milk, 1 tsp. honey and raw yolk. Mix until smooth and apply to face for 10-12 minutes.
Herbal infusions, lotions, creams
Homemade lotions and herbal infusions perfectly rejuvenate the skin, eliminating fine wrinkles, age spots and other imperfections.

A tonic infusion of evening primrose, comfrey, parsley and dill is prepared in the same way - it refreshes the skin and removes pigmentation. The herbs are mixed and fermented, as in the previous recipe, but insisted for 3 hours, filtered and dried on the face daily.

A mixture of herbs is poured into ½ liter of boiling water, insisted for a day and twice a day, they wipe the face. This infusion is especially good for oily skin.
And for dry skin, the following is suitable: fresh rose petals (wild rose), dried chamomile, mint, sage and dill herb, chop, pour 1/2 liter of cold water, bring to a boil and keep on low heat for 5 minutes.

From the available and inexpensive ingredients, you can create a homemade cream: vegetable juice, yolk and butter.

A light massage with ice cubes helps to delay aging and preserve the skin's youth. It is necessary to massage the skin with ice in the morning after washing: this improves blood circulation and nutrition, and the cells receive more oxygen.
When removing makeup, it's better to use cosmetic oils - almond, grape seed and so on - rather than commercial products. This cleansing contains no "chemicals" and at the same time saturates the skin with useful substances. It is best to wash your face not with tap water, but with mineral water, structured water from the refrigerator, or at least boiled.
Rejuvenating tea and balm
In addition to external agents that rejuvenate the skin, there are also agents that act from the inside: teas, herbal decoctions, infusions, all kinds of tinctures and balms.
Garlic balm helps to rejuvenate the skin. The peeled head of the garlic is drizzled with white wine (200 ml), boiled for half an hour over low heat, cooled and placed in a jar with the garlic. You need to drink it for several months in a row: 1 tsp. 3 times a day before meals for 3 days, then take a break for 7 days and drink again for 3 days.
Another balm is made with dry red wine - it fights well against sagging skin. A liter of wine is poured into a mixture of lavender herbs and sage, and left for 2 weeks in the dark, in a cool, sometimes shivering place. The infusion is filtered and drunk every morning, half an hour before meals.
For a woman's skin to remain young for longer, it is necessary to maintain the synthesis of female sex hormones in the body - estrogens: they are responsible for retaining water in the skin and stimulating collagen production. Tea made from raspberry, strawberry and wild rose fruit and leaves is rich in phytoestrogens - it is prepared and drunk just like any tea. If there are no berries, you can use only leaves - for example, rosehip leaves contain a lot of vitamin C, flavonoids, catechins and other bioactive substances.
There are many folk remedies for facial rejuvenation, but they should be used systematically. Only then can you expect that the time spent on self-care will pay off well. Don't forget about lifestyle, nutrition and water: you should eat natural and fresh products, drink only clean water, walk outdoors at any time of year and not let stress destroy what is most valuable: health and the beauty of the woman.
