Face masks for wrinkles - do it at home


Cosmetic masks are necessary for quality skin care, as well as daily creams and products for cleansing the skin and removing makeup. However, many people neglect masks, not realizing how effective and useful they are. And up to the age of 25, such neglect is quite forgivable. But older girls need to remember that inadequate care will manifest itself in early facial wrinkles and deterioration of skin condition.

The cosmetics industry offers a huge selection of masks designed both for use in professional salons and for use at home. However, face masks at home continue to enjoy stable popularity. The reason for such a love for folk recipes is that a mask prepared with your own hands from high-quality ingredients is obviously more natural and natural than a creamy mass bought at a pharmacy or store, stuffed with preservatives. In addition, not everyone can afford professional care in salons.

What types of face masks are there?

Most often, face masks at home are classified according to the effect they provide.


The following types of masks are distinguished:

  • intended for constant care and maintenance of the skin in ideal condition - nourishing, moisturizing, toning and cleansing;
  • combating obvious skin imperfections - anti-inflammatory, whitening, anti-rosacea;
  • anti-aging – rejuvenating, lifting masks.

What are the types of scars?

To understand which method is right for you, we recommend this brief information. The types of scars will help you become a little closer to understanding the processes that occur in your body.

  • Atrophic scar. The skin of such a scar seems to sags or collapses, that is, it is located below the level of healthy skin.

Color: pale white to dark pink

Feels like a dent or groove

A home removal method can help correct small atrophic scars that remain after chickenpox, acne or pimples.

  • Normotrophic scar. If you close your eyes and run your finger over it, it will be impossible to distinguish healthy skin from a scar. This is a normotrophic scar - located at the same level with the skin.

Color: light beige to pink

Feelings: usually do not cause discomfort

Home removal method: suitable. The smaller and fresher the normotrophic scar, the better it can be corrected at home.

  • Hypertrophic scar. The most prominent scars literally protrude above the skin

Color: from pink to dark red and even almost blue

Sensations: may cause itching, tingling, sometimes bleeding

Home removal method : partially corrects and makes the hypertrophic scar less noticeable. The fresher the scar, the faster it will become less noticeable at home.

  • Keloid or keloid scar. We DO NOT recommend and urge you NOT to even try to remove it yourself. The most difficult scar to remove. In specialized clinics, large keloid scars are removed with liquid nitrogen. This type of removal is called cryodestruction or cryodestruction. After cryodestruction, scars still remain, but smaller ones, which are then polished with a laser. Sometimes surgical excision is performed to remove it, and then laser resurfacing of the scar left after the excision. There is also the old Soviet method of Buki therapy, in which the scar is intensively irradiated with X-rays. Nowadays, beech therapy is practically not used, since it is a dangerous and risky method with oncological consequences.

IMPORTANT! Removing a keloid scar using home methods is impossible and dangerous , as it can begin to unpredictably increase in size and grow. All offers from online stores about selling “miracle creams and gels” for removing keloid scars are a complete scam and deception. Be carefull! Self-medication can lead to uncontrolled growth.

Methods for removing scars and scars directly depend on their structure and appearance. If some scars can be corrected at home, then keloid scars - NEVER!

How to remove a keloid scar? The only way is to consult a medical professional to determine the best treatment plan. Dermatologists and surgeons have the right to remove keloid scars.

If there is a chance to remove such a scar, then only with the help of doctors who will determine the method of removing keloid scars in a specialized medical clinic.

Skin type: how to determine

It must be remembered that the needs of different skin types are different, therefore a face mask at home should be selected depending on what type of skin you have. In classical cosmetology, it is customary to distinguish between normal, dry, oily and combination skin.

Typically, girls who are attentive to their appearance are well aware of their own skin type. However, it would be useful to remind you how to accurately and easily determine it at home. Wash your face using regular soap and do not apply cream. After about an hour and a half, apply a large, well-absorbing paper napkin tightly to your face. Now you need to carefully examine the napkin, and at the same time evaluate the degree of skin tightness. If there is a trace of sebum on the entire surface of the napkin, the skin is not tight at all, then you have oily skin. If there are no marks left on the napkin and the skin is not tight or flaky, then your skin type is normal. If there are no traces of secretions from the sebaceous glands on the napkin and there is a clear feeling of tightness, then your skin is considered dry. If your forehead, nose and chin have left a greasy mark in the center of the napkin, and the skin on your cheeks and temples is normal or dry, then such an uneven distribution of fat content indicates a combination, or mixed, skin type.

How to properly apply a face mask at home?

There are general rules for using homemade cosmetic masks:

  • Applying a mask is not a procedure that can be done on the run. Put aside household chores and active communication with loved ones, and spend half an hour just for yourself.
  • Homemade face masks must be prepared immediately before use. Homemade masks do not contain preservatives and therefore cannot be stored. All components must be of high quality, and ingredients such as fruits, sour cream, kefir, etc. must be fresh.
  • Before applying the mask, your face must be cleansed as usual. Those with oily and combination skin will most likely also need peeling. After cleansing the skin, you need to open the pores as much as possible using a warm, damp compress or steam bath.
  • To prevent your hair from interfering with applying the mask, gather it in a bun and secure it with a headband or bandage.
  • Depending on the consistency of the mask, apply it with clean hands, a gauze pad, a brush or a cotton pad.
  • Most masks should be applied to the face, as well as the neck and décolleté. Perhaps this does not apply to drying masks for oily skin, because the skin in delicate areas is much drier than the skin on the face.
  • Apply the homemade mask along the massage lines, moving from the middle of the face to the temples. The exception is the skin around the eyes - the mask is not applied to it.
  • Rinse off the mask with clean water. If you doubt the quality of your tap water, prepare a jug of boiled water in advance.
  • After washing off the mask, do not wipe your face, but just gently blot off excess water with a clean towel. Apply a cream appropriate to your skin type to a damp face.
  • You should not expect a stunning effect from a single procedure. Face masks at home must be repeated 1-3 times a week and for a course duration of at least three weeks.

How to carry out the procedure correctly

Before applying the composition, the skin must be cleansed with tonic, lotion, milk or scrub. If your skin is dry, you can wash your face with water alone; if your skin is oily, you can wash it with foam. Then prepare the composition from fresh ingredients and immediately apply to the face, including the forehead. You need to move from the chin to the ears, from the corners of the lips to the ears. The following movements go from the center of the forehead to the temples, to the hair. The mask is removed with plain water, without soap; for dry skin types, the water should be warm, and for oily skin types, cold. After removing the composition, a nourishing cream is applied.

Nourishing face masks at home

Nutritional masks are designed to compensate for the lack of nutrients, vitamins and microelements.

For oily skin, we can recommend a mask made from two teaspoons of honey, 20 drops of lemon juice and a tablespoon of low-fat sour cream. Stir until the mixture is smooth and apply to your face. Keep for 20 minutes to half an hour. The mask will add an even color and healthy glow to your skin.

Dry skin will be nourished by a homemade face mask consisting of an egg yolk, two teaspoons of milk and less than a tablespoon of small oatmeal. Pour very warm milk over the oatmeal and let it soak a little. Beat the egg yolk with a fork and stir into the cereal. Leave the mask on your face for 20 minutes. This mixture will give dry skin softness and velvety, eliminating flaking and a feeling of tightness.

Normal facial skin also needs nutrition and saturation with vitamins. A grape mask is suitable for these purposes. Crush 6-7 white grapes, and then, after removing the skins and seeds, combine with a tablespoon of sour cream. The mask applied to the face must be kept for 20-30 minutes.

Moisturizing masks at home

Moisturizing face masks at home help maintain the skin's moisture balance. Most often, moisturizing is required in spring and summer, when some of the moisture from the surface layers of the skin is lost under the influence of ambient temperature and ultraviolet radiation. This can lead to sagging and decreased skin elasticity.

General recommendations and rules before/after the procedure

To ensure that peeling goes without consequences, pay close attention to the following tips and recommendations.

  • Always perform a session on clean skin, free from daytime dirt and makeup residues, otherwise they can penetrate deep into the pores and lead to unwanted inflammatory reactions.
  • Prepare the peeling mass in small quantities, preferably for one use, since such natural compositions have a short shelf life.
  • Do not peel if your skin has wounds, cuts, herpes, fungal infections or other dermatological problems that require treatment under the supervision of a specialist.
  • Before applying any new composition to your face, be sure to test for an allergic reaction to avoid complications such as swelling, redness of the skin, peeling and itching.
  • Always avoid the eye and lip areas when applying such products.
  • If a rejection reaction to the peeling composition occurs, immediately take any antihistamine (anti-allergic) and visit a doctor.
  • This procedure is best done in the evening so that the skin recovers overnight and is not sensitive to any weather conditions.
  • Keep the peeling compositions on the skin for 5 to 15 minutes, after which they are thoroughly and carefully washed off first with warm and then cool water (boiled or filtered).
  • Finally, a light moisturizing gel or cream is applied to the skin according to your skin type, which contains anti-inflammatory and nutrients.

To obtain a visible effect, the selected recipe is used in courses - 2 times a week for 1-2 months.

Toning and cleansing face masks at home

Toning and cleansing masks have a general strengthening effect on the skin, solving two problems: they improve subcutaneous blood circulation and cleanse the pores of sebaceous secretions.

A mask made of kaolin (or white clay) will help oily skin. To prepare a clay mask, mix two tablespoons of white clay with cold boiled water, add egg white, 5 ml of honey and 3-4 drops of lemon juice. The resulting mass should be homogeneous and have a consistency similar to sour cream. Apply the mask to the skin and wait until it dries completely. Wash off the clay mask as soon as it completely dries.

The condition of dry skin also improves noticeably under the influence of white clay. To prepare the mask, take a tablespoon of white clay, twice as much milk and 5 ml of honey. Mix until smooth and apply to skin. After 10-15 minutes, rinse off the mask and do not forget to use a moisturizer.

What are the benefits of rice flour?

  1. Potassium and ceramidia in the composition stimulate collagen production and accelerate cell regeneration.
  2. Amino acids, vitamins and minerals nourish the skin, satisfying its needs, and promote moisture retention.
  3. It has absorbent properties, and therefore easily removes oily shine and cleanses the skin of sebum, drawing out fat from the sebaceous glands.
  4. Folic acid and choline relieve inflammation and redness.
  5. Nicotinic acid and starch whiten the skin and remove dark spots.
  6. The delicate texture easily scrubs the skin and exfoliates the keratinized top layer.
  7. Absolutely hypoallergenic.

Anti-inflammatory masks at home

Anti-inflammatory masks work well against unpleasant rashes and redness on the skin.

A mask made from brewer's yeast can solve the problems of inflamed skin. Add 10-12 drops of lemon juice to a tablespoon of dry brewer's yeast purchased at the pharmacy and bring the mixture to a thick, mushy consistency with warm water. Apply to the affected areas of the skin and wait until it dries completely. Rinse off the yeast with slightly cool water and use a special cream for problem skin.

A honey-herbal mask will help dry problem skin. The honey taken to prepare this mask should be liquid, and the herbs should be fresh and ground into a paste. Mix equal parts of honey and dandelion leaf pulp (or mint, sage, chamomile) and apply to face for 10-15 minutes.

Causes of acne on the face


Acne is one of the most common skin diseases today.
This disease manifests itself as a result of chronic inflammation of the sebaceous glands, which occurs as a result of their blockage and increased production of sebum. Often, the release of sebaceous secretions can be caused by an increase in androgens (male sex hormones) in the human body. An increase in estrogen often has the opposite effect - a decrease in sebaceous secretion. According to statistics, acne (pimples) occurs in 60–80% of boys and girls in the age range from 12 to 24 years. After 24 years, the appearance of acne can be caused by metabolic disorders.

There are several types of acne based on their occurrence. To simplify the classification, all acne can be divided into those arising from internal and external causes.

Internal reasons

Internal causes include primarily hormonal changes, including natural processes in teenage bodies. Hereditary reactions of the sebaceous glands to the increasing level of male sex hormones in the blood can also play a role (occurs in both boys and girls).

In adulthood, infections and chronic diseases often play the role of “irritant”. In this case, acne is a kind of “litmus test”; a certain location of acne, their accumulation in different parts of the face, signals to medical specialists about the presence of a certain disease.

In some cases, facial acne can be caused by a person's allergic reaction to certain types of food.

External reasons

External causes include exposure to the environment or substances applied to the skin. Various types of oils, lubricants, and preparations containing tar can cause blockage of the sebaceous glands and roughening of the skin. Excessive consumption of cosmetics containing fats can cause acne. Prolonged pressure and friction from clothing or any other fabric can cause mechanical blockage. An example is the pressure of a sports helmet or other headgear. We must not forget about the influence of unfavorable urban ecology, as a result of which the skin of the face thickens and the functioning of the sebaceous glands is disrupted. Thickening of the skin can also occur due to age-related reasons.

Anti-rosacea masks

Cuperosis is a vascular manifestation on the skin. Particularly unpleasant are rosacea stars and redness on the face. Home treatment for rosacea consists of a light, non-traumatic facial massage, inclusion in the diet of foods rich in vitamins C, P and K, and, of course, natural face masks at home.

A fairly simple mask will help relieve redness and strengthen the walls of the capillaries. Take a tablespoon of crushed dry chamomile and small oatmeal. Add any quality vegetable oil to obtain a creamy consistency. Keep the resulting mass on the skin for 15 minutes. If there are obvious signs of rosacea, this mask can be used daily.

The potato mask also reduces visible spider veins. Take two medium raw potatoes and finely grate them. Use oatmeal to thicken the mixture. Leave the applied mask on for 10-15 minutes. It is recommended to wash off this mask with water with the addition of chamomile or calendula infusions.

Masks for inflamed and problematic skin

Crush a few wild strawberries or strawberries well in a container and mix with a tablespoon of cottage cheese. After applying to your face, leave the mask on for 10 minutes.

Thoroughly grind a tablespoon of low-fat cottage cheese with 2-3 tbsp. spoons of yogurt (can be replaced with kefir). Leave the mask on your face for 15-20 minutes, remove with cool water.

Moisturizing masks

Tightening masks

Mix a tablespoon of baker's yeast with 3 tablespoons of sour milk (replace with other dairy products if desired) and a teaspoon of lemon juice, along with 5 drops of a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Leave the mask on for 10-12 minutes after applying it, remove with a cotton swab dipped in cool water.

Beat the egg white until foamy, add 2 tablespoons of chopped sorrel leaves. Leave the mask on your face for 15 minutes, remove with cool water.

Whitening masks

Mix a teaspoon of oatmeal with 2 tablespoons of kefir. Leave the mask on your face for 15 minutes and remove it with warm water. Using a mask, unwanted shine is eliminated from the skin of the face.

Mix a tablespoon of finely chopped parsley with a teaspoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of kefir. If desired, add a teaspoon of starch or wheat flour. The mask is applied for 15 minutes.
