Food masks include those that are prepared from ordinary food products that are sold in the store.

Lemon mask consists of olive oil, sour cream and lemon juice; keep for half an hour.

Lemon mask also prepared from a whole lemon: massage a slice into your mouth for 10 minutes until a tingling sensation begins. Afterwards, lubricate with balm.

Ice pepper: the aqueous solution of ground pepper is frozen; Use small ice cubes to wipe the skin.

Pepper with Vaseline: This mask can cause burns, so you can keep it on for no more than 30 seconds. The pepper pod is crushed, mixed with Vaseline and applied with a cotton pad. Wash off immediately!

Folk remedies will help visually enlarge your lips without injections and with minimal harm to health.

Cosmetics that enhance lips

Cosmetic companies have long been producing a wide variety of products, thanks to which you can visually emphasize your lips and improve their shape.

It is important to know: even if cosmetics allow you to enlarge your lips without injections, they are not entirely harmless to health. Many creams and balms injure the skin to one degree or another, causing irritation and swelling.

Patches

Lip patches are used not only to enlarge them, but also to moisturize them and improve their condition - that’s why they occupy an honorable place in the cosmetic range.

Associated effects are:

1. recovery;
2. nutrition;
3. improved regeneration;
4. eliminating dryness;
5. improves microcirculation, causing the skin to swell.

Apply the patch to dry lips and leave on for 20 minutes. Use approximately once a week for a month.

Patches usually include:

1. plant extract (blueberry, strawberry, rose hip);
2. collagen;
3. hyaluronic acid;
4. minerals;
5. oils (linseed, grape);
6. peptides.

Gloss and lipstick

For visual enlargement, plumpers are also used - this is a balm or gloss that stimulates blood circulation and collagen synthesis due to its composition. Often this is menthol (Sally Hansen balm), red chili pepper, peptides (CREATIVE NATUR COSMETIC). Blood rushes to the lips, causing them to swell, but at the same time retain their natural shade.

Important: dark matte or bright red lipstick will be your salvation, adding a voluminous effect. It is enough to simply outline the contour with a pencil above and below the lip line, respectively, and then paint over it. Dark color - the whole thing, a brighter color is applied to the center, and a transparent glitter on top. This creates a volume effect. To enhance it, add a few strokes around the lips with a light pencil.

Gels are also capable of enlarging lips: you can purchase these at a pharmacy or cosmetic store.

Among the most famous are:

1. LIP FILL: hydration and increase;
2. Lip Booster: increase (composition: pepper and hyaluronic acid);
3. Perfect Pout: dilation of capillaries (ingredients: cinnamon and amino acids).

Creams

Cosmetics that enlarge lips also include numerous creams, which, when used regularly, turn out to be very effective.

The composition includes already known peptides, silicone, ginger and mint extracts, vitamins, and oils. When applied, they improve blood circulation, moisturize and provide collagen synthesis. Apply with light massage movements twice a day – and the result will pleasantly surprise you within two weeks. In addition to enlargement, the skin will become smoother. The cream can become the basis for applying lipstick.

Rating of the best professional products for increasing lip volume

The latest way to achieve the desired results is through injections. There is a rating of lip augmentation products using so-called fillers. Fillers are substances that fill voids in the epidermis, causing the skin to tighten and smooth out.

Important: fillers are divided according to their composition into artificial (botuloxin, polyacrylamide gel) and natural (collagen, hyaluronic acid) - the latter are more in demand, since artificial ones can cause rejection by the body and severe allergic reactions. But at the same time, the effect of artificial means lasts 3 years, while the effect of natural ones lasts 1 year.

Rating of the best funds:

1. Princess Filler: based on hyaluronic acid;
2. Juvederm (Yuvederm): contains lidocaine, may cause allergies;
3. Luminera Crystals: analogue of Juvederm, softer;
4. Princess Volume: based on hyaluronic acid;
5. Surg >It’s better for you to choose the right product together with a cosmetologist. Professionals usually know from experience who is best suited for one or another drug.

But is it true that calendula tincture helps get rid of acne, and glycerin and Vaseline will turn tired feet into perfectly smooth ones? Let's find out from a professional! We talked about options for budget-friendly and effective self-care with cosmetologist Natalya Gapeeva.

Pharmacy products - a replacement for everything?

Pharmacy products cannot replace complete skin care for the face and body, since products from the pharmacy are aimed only at eliminating skin problems such as dryness and allergic reactions. Various thoughtless experiments with them can lead to undesirable consequences: irritation, burns, clogged pores, and as a result - pustular rashes. Of course, there are age restrictions when using any drug, which is important to consider when selecting funds.

Products that are used daily in facial skin care at a certain age and do not cause unpleasant sensations - dryness, tightness, irritation - can be used regularly. Only depending on age you need to add separate eyelid skin care and lifting procedures. In any case, you should consult a specialist.

Ichthyol ointment and calendula for acne

Ichthyol ointment and calendula can be used, but very carefully, as they can leave burns on the inflamed area, which will lead to pigmentation. Ichthyol ointment is applied to the problem area for 3-5 minutes. You can repeat the procedure several times during the day. Calendula tincture is also used locally. And calendula ointment can be left on for a long time.

Glycerin and Vaseline for soft feet

Can be used without restrictions. Indeed, the skin of the feet will become soft and tender. After all, these ingredients are contained in foot skin care creams. Also, if there are cracks, you can use calendula ointment, panthenol, bepanthen, solcoseryl ointment, Reparef-1, Reparef-2 ointment, rub in AEvit oil. And don’t forget about the foot scrub before the procedure, as it helps remove dead skin particles, and the effect of the treatments will be greater.

AEvit for face and hair

AEvit can be used externally for dry skin, but you should not overuse it. It is better to take the drug in a course: one month every six months. Your skin will thank you!

As for the hair ends, AEvit is an oil-based vitamin that can be added to a hair mask and left for 15-20 minutes. Apply 5 cm from the roots, then rinse with plenty of water. After this procedure, your hair will look well-groomed, just like after going to the salon.

You need to use it once a week for dry and brittle hair, once a month for normal hair. If you want to pamper your curls with vitamins that do not require rinsing, then it is better to use B vitamins (ampoules). And you should always remember that thoughtless use of products leads to hair loss and fragility.

For dry lips - Vaseline with sugar and salt

For dry lips, you can use cosmetic Vaseline with mink oil, but as for sugar and salt - under no circumstances! This will lead to injury to the delicate skin of the lips, cracks, dryness, and peeling will appear. The skin of the lips really loves products based on hyaluronic acid - serums, masks and creams. Lips will look well-groomed and voluminous, as “hyaluronic acid” attracts water.

Nicotinic acid for hair growth

Nicotinic acid can be used for rubbing into the scalp, because it is vitamin B3, PP, nicotinamide, niacinamide. It is necessary to use “nicotine” only for clean and washed hair. Open the ampoule, pour the contents into a container using a syringe, and rub the acid into the scalp.

Full ampoules cannot be stored when opened, because the components of the “nicotine” are quickly destroyed in air. Contraindications to this drug: individual intolerance. Before using it, you need to do a test: rub it into the temporal area and wait 10-15 minutes. If there is no burning or redness, then nicotine can be used. Vitamin biotin also has a good effect on hair and skin.

Sea salt and water for scalp

Salt can cause irritation and stinging. Therefore, you should not use it, as it will lead to dryness not only of your hair, but also of your scalp. There are special scrubs that exfoliate dead skin particles, increase microcirculation, which helps improve blood supply to the hair follicles. After this procedure, hair products will provide more benefits than usual. Scrubbing can be done 1-2 times a month.

Chamomile tincture ice for face

Of course, ice is good for the skin. It improves the elasticity and tone of blood vessels (prevention of rosacea, erythrosis), blood microcirculation. Decoctions of chamomile, calendula, cornflower, blackcurrant leaves, peppermint, echinacea are used for problematic, oily and normal skin. Aloe juice and arnica decoction will help get rid of dark circles, bruises, and bags under the eyes. Cucumber juice has a beneficial effect on skin with pigmentation.

Procedures with wiping the face with ice are especially good if done in the morning. Your face will look fresh and rested!

For irritation after shaving: 2 dissolved aspirin tablets and 1 spoon of glycerin

Under no circumstances should you use this “life hack”! Aspirin is an acid that will lead to irritation, redness, and ultimately flaking and dryness. Glycerin may moisturize, but will not relieve sensitivity or soothe the skin. After all, during shaving, the skin gets injured. Therefore, you need to use products that soothe and relieve irritation. Panthenol 3%, face and body milk, and gel-based products containing green tea are suitable. The lighter the product (i.e. not oil-based), the softer the skin will be.

Fish oil for vitaminizing facial skin

Fish oil is a storehouse of beneficial properties and vitamins. Can be used for both face and body. For the face, we apply fish oil as a mask for 15-20 minutes, rinse with warm, then cold water. Be careful with the skin around your eyes! Here fish oil should be applied only in a thin layer, otherwise swelling may occur.

It is better to do this procedure in the evening 2 hours before bedtime, because fish oil has an unpleasant odor - and going to work after such a mask will not be very pleasant. At the end of the procedure, you should not apply cream, as it will weigh down the skin. We use a fish oil mask once a week.

Chlorhexidine for disinfection and dullness of facial skin

Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic and is not suitable for frequent use on sensitive skin. It is good to use if you have oily skin, complicated acne or oily seborrhea. During the rash, wipe the skin of the face in the morning and evening. However, it is worth remembering the possible intolerance to chlorhexidine.

Mouthwash for removing bruises

This is a new product for me, I can’t say that it will help with hematomas. The best remedy is troxevasin, heparin, arnica ointment, and bodyaga. These drugs improve microcirculation, so the hematoma goes away faster.

Advice from a cosmetologist:

All girls know: proper daily care will give noticeable results.

Every day your skin needs:

1. Cleansing (gel, foam, cream mousse),

2. Toning (lotion, tonic),

3. Intensive care (use of serums),

4. Protection (cream according to skin type, and in summer we use SPF),

5. Using a facial scrub (1-2 times a week).

6. Masks according to skin type (2 times a week for dry skin, 1 time a week for oily skin, for problem and combination skin - 1-2 times a week). published econet.ru
