Probably not a single woman after 35 years old likes to look "her age", and even more so to seem older than her years.

Folk remedies will always be in demand, and not only because they are inexpensive, but because they are prepared from the most natural ingredients - food.
There are a lot of folk remedies for facial skin rejuvenation, but they must be used on an ongoing basis.
Scrubs and masks
The most popular are masks for face rejuvenation prepared according to folk recipes. They will be more effective if the skin is first prepared: steamed with decoctions of medicinal herbs - you can make compresses or hold your face over a container with hot steam. And homemade scrubs will help remove the top layer of dead cells.
A good exfoliating scrub can be made quickly, using mashed berries and sugar, for example. Brown sugar is mixed with gruel from currants, strawberries, etc. , rubbed and applied to a steamed face for 5-7 minutes, then gently massage the skin along the massage lines and rinse with warm water. The skin is moisturized and softer - you can apply a mask. Such scrubs can be used no more than once a week, and for very dry skin - twice a month.
It is convenient to make masks with vegetable oils at home - they are always in the kitchen. Linseed oil has pronounced anti-aging properties. It can be used alone or mixed with other ingredients. Such a mask is very nutritious: linseed oil and honey (1 tsp each) are mixed with raw yolk, put in warm water for several minutes, apply the heated mixture on the face for 15 minutes, rinse with warm water.
In a similar way, a mask is made with olive oil rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants. To 1 st. l. butter, add the yolk, a little honey and lemon juice, mix until smooth and apply on the face, neck and décolleté for 20 minutes.
A well-known folk remedy for rejuvenation is ordinary lard: it makes the skin soft and elastic, and removes wrinkles. A piece of fresh, unsalted lard is smeared all over the face, and after 15 minutes they are washed with warm and then cool water.
Many homes have an aloe plant: masks with biostimulated aloe work wonders - a few lower leaves of the plant must be kept on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for 10-14 days before use. For the mask: 1 tbsp. l. aloe gruel and milk powder, 1 tsp. honey and raw yolk. Mix until smooth and apply on face for 10-12 minutes.
Herbal infusions, lotions, cream

A light massage with ice cubes helps to slow down aging and maintain youthfulness of the skin. It is necessary to massage the skin with ice in the morning, after washing: this improves blood circulation and nutrition, and the cells begin to receive more oxygen.
When removing makeup, it is better to use cosmetic oils - almond, grape seed, and so on - rather than commercial products. Such cleaning does not contain any "chemistry", and at the same time saturates the skin with useful substances. It is better to wash your face not with tap water, but with mineral water, structured water from the refrigerator, or at least boiled.
Rejuvenating tea and balm
In addition to external agents that rejuvenate the skin, there are also agents that act from the inside: teas, herbal decoctions, infusions, all kinds of tinctures and balms.
Garlic balm will help rejuvenate the skin. The peeled head of garlic is poured with white wine (200 ml), boiled for half an hour over low heat, cooled and poured into a jar along with garlic. You need to drink for several months in a row: 1 tsp. 3 times a day before meals for 3 days, then a break for 7 days, and drink again for 3 days.
Another balm is prepared with dry red wine - it fights well against sagging skin. A liter of wine is poured into a mixture of lavender and sage herbs, and insisted for 2 weeks in the dark, in a cool place, sometimes shaking. The infusion is filtered and drunk every morning half an hour before meals.
In order for a woman's skin to remain young longer, it is necessary to maintain the synthesis of female sex hormones in the body - estrogens: they are responsible for retaining water in the skin and stimulating the production of collagen. Phytoestrogens are rich in tea made from berries and leaves of raspberries, strawberries and rose hips - it is brewed and drunk like any tea. If there are no berries, you can use only leaves - for example, young rosehip leaves contain a lot of vitamin C, flavonoids, catechins and other bioactive substances.
There are a lot of folk remedies for face rejuvenation, but they must be used systematically. Only in this case can you expect that the time spent on self-care will pay off handsomely. Do not forget about lifestyle, nutrition and water: you should eat natural and fresh products, drink only clean water, walk in the fresh air at any time of the year and not let stress destroy the most valuable thing: women's health and beauty.
