Over time, obvious signs of aging appear on every person's face. One of these signs is wrinkles, which become more and more noticeable after the age of forty. Wrinkles form due to loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin.
The aging process is inevitable, but proper skin care can slow it down. Thus, an anti-wrinkle mask after 40 years will not only help prevent the appearance of new wrinkles, but will also help smooth out existing wrinkles.
Efficiency
Of course, when using homemade masks, you shouldn’t hope for a miracle. The procedures are not able to eliminate deep folds formed in the lower layers of the dermis. To correct them, it is necessary to use “heavy artillery” in the form of salon procedures. But with superficial wrinkles formed in the upper layers of the skin can be treated well with home care.
If a woman has taken proper care of her skin from a young age, it is unlikely that she will have developed deep wrinkles by the age of 40. Most of our contemporaries look great at this age. But even if a woman has not systematically cared for her face before, home procedures will help significantly improve skin condition.
With regular use of masks, you can get the following results:
- metabolic processes will flow faster in the cells, due to which the cells will renew themselves more actively, and the skin will look fresh and young;
- blood circulation is activated, due to which oxygen and other necessary substances are supplied to the tissues;
- improve significantly complexion, he will become smooth and healthy;
- small superficial wrinkles will disappear completely, and deep folds will become less noticeable. This happens due to the active components of the masks, which enhance the synthesis of substances and are “responsible” for the elasticity of the skin.

Precautionary measures

The test is very simple: a drop of the prepared composition is applied to the skin (in the area of the inner bend of the elbow) and the area is sealed with a plaster. After an hour, remove the patch and wash off the composition. If there is no redness or other negative reactions, then the composition can be used.
When choosing a recipe, pay attention to your skin type. If it is prone to dryness and flaking, you should choose options made with oils. If, on the contrary, your skin is prone to oiliness, you should choose lighter formulations based on yogurt, kefir, etc.
Important! If there are signs of rosacea on the face, excessive hair growth is noted, or neoplasms have appeared, making homemade masks is not recommended.
