Masks for aging skin

Sooner or later, female beauty begins to fade gradually. This is an inevitable process that begins in connection with aging and weakening of the whole body, and first of all it affects our skin. Almost every woman at least once thought about whether it is possible to maintain a young and beautiful appearance of the face for many years.

The main enemy of female beauty is always time. Old age comes sooner or later to any woman, which is primarily reflected in her appearance. Speaking in drier terms, our body initially contains information about which cells and at what period of life begin to break down.

Most of all, those women who are naturally too dry skin are at risk of early formation of wrinkles. She suffers more from a lack of nutrients, so the first unpleasant folds can appear even in adolescence. Such girls should learn to take care of their face from an early age in order to avoid premature fading.

Mostly such processes occur due to the fact that in old age our body no longer receives enough nutrients. The dermis becomes thinner, the processes of destruction in it prevail over the processes of regeneration. In addition, there is a serious deficiency of substances such as collagen and elastin, which give it elasticity.

Of course, old age is only the main problem, while many other factors can also cause skin aging too early. The most insidious of them is ultraviolet. For a long time, experts have proven the fact that the sun's rays and solariums have not only positive effects on the dermis.

Ultraviolet causes a lot of irreversible reactions. Including destroys elastin fibers and inhibits the formation of collagen, which as a result leads to the "drying" of tissues.

It is also worth noting other factors that may turn out to be your worst enemies in the struggle for beauty:

• Too fast weight loss. Rigid diets and excessive exercise primarily lead to water loss.The skin becomes thinner and may sag as a result of too rapid loss of weight, fluid, fatty tissue;
• Bad habits, especially smoking, lead to disruption of the normal structure of the dermis. It loses its natural color, and the regeneration processes in it slow down;
• Improper nutrition and beriberi;
• Many chronic diseases including endocrine organs;
• Poor eyesight and refusal to wear glasses. This leads to constant squinting, which causes the skin to quickly lose its elasticity.

There is no big secret why mature skin is prone to wrinkles and aging. The thing is that at a certain period of life, our body begins to less intensively produce most of the necessary elements on its own.

An active loss of fluid, fat reserves of fiber also begins. Ultimately, the skin becomes noticeably thinner, sags, wrinkles and deep wrinkles begin to appear. In addition, most of the biological processes are disrupted, which is why there are also tendencies to develop inflammation, and excess pigmentation is formed.

Masks with the so-called "anti-aging" effect are not able to instantly rejuvenate the skin of the face. Unfortunately, today there is no cosmetics that can so radically solve this problem. However, regular masks, which, by the way, you can prepare yourself at home, are indicated for aging skin.

Due to this, the withering processes are noticeably slowed down, and with regular long-term use of such products, a striking effect can be observed: the skin regains its natural healthy color, wrinkles are smoothed out, inflammation and excess pigmentation go away.

In order for this to be possible, it is necessary to use a good mask that has most of the following properties:

• The high content of a complex of vitamins and minerals has a strong nutritional effect. This contributes to the normalization of the natural processes of regeneration and restoration of dermal tissues;
• In the preparation of masks, vegetables and fruits are often used, which contain a lot of moisture, therefore, they moisturize the skin well and normalize its turgor;
• Natural masks also contain special substances - antioxidants.. Their main advantage is the ability to remove various toxins from the deep layers of the skin. Such cleansing contributes to the preservation of health and beautiful appearance;
• Increases skin oxygenation. Promotes its smoothing;
• Many masks made from natural ingredients at home can have a “lifting” effect. The face does not just look toned, but acquires healthy elasticity and freshness;
• Normalization of the Ph level on the surface of the skin;
• Stimulation of the natural production of collagen and elastin;
• Promotes improvement of capillary blood circulation in areas of the skin. It not only restores the natural healthy tone of the face, but also promotes normal nutrition;
• Normalizes the work of the sebaceous glands, which is especially true for women with oily skin type;
• It has an antiseptic effect. This effect is not necessary for rejuvenation, but it is good for preventing inflammation.

There are quite a few recipes for their preparation, as well as recommendations for use. For women who are just going to try their own anti-aging masks, we can recommend the following:

• As a rule, it is necessary to apply a mask not only on the face, but also on the neck and décolleté area;
