The tonic is stored in the refrigerator and you can use it 2-3 times a day.
All of these folk remedies for rejuvenation at home will yield results in two months if you perform them regularly and in combination.
Pharmacy help in the fight for the youth
It is not necessary to prepare means for preserving and restoring the youthfulness of the facial skin; you can buy some 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, rash, redness, which appear stronger on the skin with age and take longer. Any remedy against defects must be applied point by point to them, this ointment is no exception. Clean and healthy skin looks much younger and more beautiful, so you need to remove 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 worse, which gradually affects its condition: it becomes dry, scaly, tissue loses its tone, looks sluggish. Solcoseryl is applied to the entire face with a thin layer, rubbing it gently 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 incredible effects: smoothing out deep wrinkles, tightening the skin and so on. Almost all cosmetic companies produce a range of creams for aging skin that promise a rejuvenating effect. But it must be understood that this is only part of the truth. Age-related facial cosmetics can really smooth out small wrinkles or smooth out unpleasant blemishes, but no product can nourish the skin with collagen and clear deep skin folds.
Such creams nourish, rebuild 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, focus on the specified age.
General recommendations
It is not enough just to smear something on the skin and hope for a miracle! You need to change your lifestyle:
- revise the menu
- make a sleep plan
- work out;
- find optimal cosmetic therapies (massage, masks, peels);
- reduce stress.
The menu for people who want to rejuvenate should include natural products: vegetables (vegetables and legumes), fruits (citrus fruits), nuts and dried fruits, dairy products (except butter), oils of vegetable origin. The first and fourth group contain the protein and B vitamins needed by the body, the second - the antioxidant vitamin C, the third and last contain a mass of E, which is called "youth vitamin". You can also buy a vitamin and mineral complex for a certain age.
You should sleep for at least 8 hours, as all 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 strains cause the skin to breathe, enrich it with oxygen, make the face fresher, smooth out mimicked wrinkles and remove excess subcutaneous deposits.
It is also necessary to contact a beautician because it is quite difficult to do a professional massage or therapy for yourself.
Skin rejuvenation at home is possible, but for this you need to make an effort and all procedures must be regular. You can not do without the implementation of the recommendations, only then will the skin again breathe youth and beauty.
