Then the broth can be poured into a convenient bottle or jar through gauze (it is advisable to sift the liquid from the blades of grass several times). The tonic is stored in the refrigerator and you can use it 2-3 times a day.
All these folk remedies for home rejuvenation will show results in two months, if you perform them regularly and in combination.
The pharmacy helps in the fight for youth
It is not necessary to prepare means to preserve and restore the youthfulness of the skin of the face, you can buy pharmacy ointments or creams:
- retinoic ointment;
- solcoseryl ointment;
- anti-aging face cream (various brands).
Retinoic ointment is an excellent antibacterial agent for various skin defects: acne, rashes, redness, which appear stronger on the skin with age and take longer. All means against defects should be applied to them on time, this ointment is no exception. Clean and healthy skin looks much younger and more beautiful, so you need to eliminate unpleasant manifestations.
Solcoseryl ointment - a drug to improve the penetration of oxygen into tissues. With age, the pores of the skin pass this gas into the epithelium, which gradually affects its condition: it becomes dry, flaky, the tissues lose their tone, look sluggish. Solcoseryl is applied all over the face with a thin layer, gently rubbing it into the face. Also, for people with sensitive skin, it is allowed to "dilute" the ointment with a nourishing or moisturizing cream.
Anti-aging cream is an equally popular and widely advertised remedy, which is credited with truly unimaginable effects: smoothing deep wrinkles, tightening the skin, etc. Almost all cosmetic companies produce a series of creams for aging skin, promising a rejuvenating effect. But you have to understand that this is only part of the truth. Age-related facial cosmetics can really smooth out small wrinkles or smooth out nasty blemishes, but no product can nourish the skin with collagen and deal with deep skin folds.
Such creams nourish, replenish the supply of vitamins and minerals, but they do not create any "magic". They can be used in combination with other procedures, and when choosing you should focus on the specified age.
General recommendations
It is not enough to spread something on the skin and hope for a miracle! You need to change your lifestyle:
- review the menu
- set a sleep schedule
- coaching;
- finding optimal cosmetic therapies (massages, masks, peelings);
- reduce stress.
The menu of people who wish to recharge their batteries must contain natural products: vegetables (greens and legumes), fruits (citrus fruits), nuts and dried fruits, dairy products (excluding butter), oils of vegetable origin. The first and fourth groups contain proteins and B vitamins necessary for the body, the second - antioxidant vitamin C, the third and last contain a lot of E, which is called the "vitamin of youth". You can also buy a vitamin-mineral complex for a certain age.
It is necessary to sleep at least 8 hours, because all the defects of lack of sleep are visible on tired skin, and bags under the eyes in adult women disappear much longer than in young women.
Sports loads make the skin breathe, enrich it with oxygen, which makes the face fresher, smoothes mimic wrinkles and removes excess subcutaneous deposits.
It is also necessary to contact a beautician, since it is quite difficult to do a professional massage or therapy yourself.
Skin rejuvenation at home is possible, but for this you need to make an effort and all procedures should be regular. You can not do without the implementation of the recommendations, only then the skin will again breathe youth and beauty.
