The tonic is stored in the refrigerator, and you can use it 2-3 times a day.
All these folk remedies for rejuvenation at home will give results in two months, if you perform them regularly and in combination.
Pharmacy help in the fight for youth
It is not necessary to prepare means for preserving and restoring youthfulness of the skin of the face; you can purchase 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, rashes, redness, which appear stronger on the skin with age and take longer. Any means against defects should be applied pointwise on them, 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 worse, which gradually affects its condition: it becomes dry, flaky, tissues lose their tone, look sluggish. Solcoseryl is applied to the entire 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, skin tightening, and so on. Almost all cosmetic companies produce a series of creams for aging skin, promising a rejuvenation effect. But it should be understood that this is only part of the truth. Age-related facial cosmetics can really smooth out small wrinkles or smooth out unpleasant defects, but no product can nourish the skin with collagen and cope 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 need to 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 schedule
- workout;
- find optimal cosmetic therapies (massages, masks, peelings);
- reduce stress.
The menu of people who want to rejuvenate should contain natural products: vegetables (green and legumes), fruits (citrus fruits), nuts and dried fruits, dairy products (except butter), oils of vegetable origin. The first and fourth groups contain the protein and vitamins B necessary for the body, the second - the antioxidant vitamin C, the third and last contain a lot of E, which is called the "vitamin of youth". You can also purchase a vitamin and mineral complex for a certain age.
You need to sleep at least 8 hours, since 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, because it is quite difficult to make 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 the skin will again breathe youth and beauty.
