Masks for the skin around the eyes against wrinkles and bags under the eyes
Since ancient times, women have known that potato starch is very good at reducing swelling and helping to fight wrinkles. In addition, the substances contained in this vegetable lighten the tissue slightly, so it is also an excellent tool in the fight against age spots. To do this, the vegetables are grated on a fine grater, and then a fat component is added in a 1 to 1 ratio - natural vegetable oils, such as almond or pumpkin, as well as fat sour cream or soft butter are suitable for this purpose. Such a composition is applied to the face in a fairly thick layer and kept for about 20 minutes, after which it is washed off with warm water.
If the skin is not too dry, you can do fruit masks. For example, apricot and its fruit acids are excellent for fighting wrinkles. For application, the pulp of a ripe fruit is taken (once it is enough to take half of the medium-sized fruit) and mashed with a blender. Then in the resulting slurry you can add any fermented milk product - fermented baked milk, kefir, sour cream, yogurt or acidophilus in the amount of one tablespoon. The ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the composition is applied to the eye area for an average of 15–25 minutes, after which it is thoroughly washed off with warm water.
Gelatin mask is considered another effective fight against wrinkles. The fact is that gelatin contains a large amount of animal protein, and therefore natural collagen, which is responsible for skin tightening. How to make it at home:
- Take a teaspoon of gelatin powder and pour 6 tablespoons of good mineral water. Let the mixture swell for a quarter of an hour and put it in the fridge.
- Then heat it in a water bath or in the microwave until the mixture is completely dissolved.
- When the mixture has cooled slightly, add 2-3 teaspoons of whole milk and half a teaspoon of sea buckthorn oil.
- Apply the product in a thin layer around the eyes, preferably with a cosmetic brush.
- Leave the ingredients on the skin for 10-20 minutes, but as soon as the firming effect is felt too much, rinse off with water.
- If the gelatin cannot be washed off immediately, in no case do not tear it off, just put a towel soaked in warm water on this area. After a few minutes, the substance becomes liquid again and succumbs to washing.
Another mask for wrinkles around the eyes at home is to use oatmeal. Among other things, it has strengthening properties and can not only smooth out wrinkles, but also refresh the appearance. To do this, take a tablespoon of oatmeal and grind it in a coffee grinder finely, but not to the point of flour. After that, top up the ingredient with warm water or milk to make a slurry but not too runny, and for a greater effect you can also use a few drops of natural oil. Apply the resulting composition to the area around the eyes for 10-20 minutes and rinse thoroughly with water, avoiding contact with mucous membranes.
How to use masks correctly
Before using new ingredients, the fabric should be checked for possible allergic reactions by applying a small amount of the prepared mixture to the crook of the arm and holding it in this area for at least 10-15 minutes. If there is no redness or itching, the product can be applied to the face.
When choosing a recipe, it is advisable to determine the skin type: if the skin is too oily, it is better to avoid masks with too much natural oils, if it is dry, it is better to avoid using ingredients that are too drying and firming, such as gelatin.
Before applying the product on your face, you should clean your face from makeup and impurities. A product that you always use is suitable here: a cleansing lotion or serum, milk, liquid soap, tar soap and other products.
Most masks have a cumulative effect, which means they should be used regularly. Be sure to do the procedure at least a few times a week, sometimes you can do it more often.
Of course, when using such home remedies around the eyes, it is unacceptable that the products get on the mucous membrane of the eye itself, so do not apply too close to the organs of vision.
Do not perform the procedure right before bedtime and immediately after waking up. It is best to wait at least an hour before/after.
After the required exposure time has elapsed, it should be washed off very carefully and without stretching the delicate skin, otherwise there will definitely be no effect.
After removing it, use your favorite skin care product: a moisturizer or serum, or just wipe your face with cucumber pulp or an ice cube with chamomile or green tea - this tool will help to close and narrow pores.
