Home remedies are a worthy alternative to expensive store-bought cosmetics.In terms of cost, effectiveness, usefulness, quality and accessibility, facial skin rejuvenation at home with homemade products is many times superior to purchased innovative creams and serums.
Basics for making homemade cosmetics
It's easy to make a homemade anti-wrinkle eye cream, scrub or mask.The preparation process is of great importance:
- You cannot use a kitchen mixer, blender or other metal utensils.This is explained by the property of iron to oxidize, which is why it is a home remedy for wrinkles.Wooden spatulas, spoons, heat-resistant glass and enamel dishes are what you need.
- Prepared cosmetic preparations should only be stored in tightly closed (screw) glass containers.
- To accurately determine the required amount of ingredients, you will definitely need a measuring spoon, a syringe, a pipette and an electronic scale.
- Containers for the prepared anti-wrinkle product in the mouth and eye area must be sterile.
- Long-term storage of such cosmetics, maximum 14 days, is not permitted.Therefore, it is not advisable to prepare a large amount of cream;15-20 ml of the product is enough.
- Expired or questionable ingredients must not be used.This is not harmful to your health!
How to use your own creams
Facial rejuvenation at home is a whole “science”, so take it seriously.
Homemade cosmetics differ from purchased cosmetics in that they have a higher fat content and a higher nutritional content, which is why a single portion should be reduced accordingly.Also, reduce application to 2 times every 7 days.
For oily skin, it is better to make gel-based products.They are not so greasy, but require more careful selection of a high-quality gelling agent.Do not apply homemade cosmetics immediately before going out into the fresh air.It is recommended to do this early in the morning, evening or before bedtime (2 hours before bedtime).
Express cream recipes

A little about youthful eyelid skin
Facial rejuvenation at home consists of a number of procedures: washing, peeling, therapeutic masks with creams, gymnastics or massage.
One should not ignore the importance of compresses (lotions) and ice based on decoctions of medicinal herbs, extracts of vegetables and fruits, as well as essential oils, which can protect the skin of the eyelids from aging.
For example, ice made from a decoction of linden blossoms and mint soothes and moisturizes the sensitive skin of the eyelids.To do this, brew about 1 tablespoon of the herbal mixture in 250 ml of water, let it steep and strain thoroughly.Pour this broth into molds and put it in the freezer.Then you can wipe your face and eyelids with such ice cubes 2-3 times a day.It's absolutely harmless.

Peppermint lotion is an excellent product for wiping sensitive skin areas.It is prepared from finely chopped fresh mint leaves (3-4 tbsp) boiled in 500 ml of water for about 10 minutes.Add boric alcohol (4 tsp), 2 tbsp marigold flower extract and 1 tsp 9% vinegar with lemon extract to the decoction.Shake the entire mixture and wipe off the skin.
