I myself have wrinkles on my face and I also bought all kinds of products and creams, as soon as you use them, your face looks smooth, even, simply beautiful. Wrinkles seem to fade. But I stopped using all the commercial anti-wrinkle products and I already notice that my face is not so smooth and I notice wrinkles. In general, as long as you use anti-wrinkle products, everything is fine, as soon as you stop, everything comes back.

You do not always have enough money and time for expensive creams and beauty salons, but you still want to look beautiful. So I'm already trying folk masks and sharing mask recipes on the blog. I mean our skin "loves" when we take care of it, even the feeling in the soul is different, I recommend trying face masks.
The most common means in the fight against wrinkles are massages, facial rubbing, compresses, homemade masks based on natural products, lotions, herbal decoctions and ice cubes. The benefits of ice for the face and how to prepare it at home can be discovered in the blog article "Cosmetic ice for the face".
The effect of masks against wrinkles
Anti-wrinkle masks help smooth small facial wrinkles and make them less visible. In addition, with the constant use of natural masks, deeper wrinkles become less visible.
The facial skin becomes firmer and more elastic, the skin becomes softer and smoother. Additionally, by using masks you can reduce bags and swelling under the eyes.
Also, you should not experiment with different masks every day: choose a mask that suits you and do it several times a week, at least 2-3 weeks, to see the result, then you can try a different recipe.
Anti-wrinkle mask at home. Terms of use
Any anti-wrinkle face mask has a different component composition. It is very important before using a face mask to check if you are allergic to the components of the mask. Apply a small part of the mask to your wrist, wait 20 minutes, if there is no redness or irritation on the skin, you can use this face mask.
It happens that a person is allergic to honey, sour cream, eggs and other components of the mask, then a mask containing these components should be thrown away.
- If the mask contains vegetable oils, then it is better to take olive, almond, avocado oil. . .
- if the mask contains sour cream, milk or eggs, it is better to purchase homemade products from friends or people whose products you trust
- As a general rule, an anti-wrinkle mask on the face should not be left on for more than 20 minutes.
- Also, if after applying the mask you notice that your face is burning, the mask should be washed off immediately, which means it is not suitable for you.

The following anti-wrinkle masks have proven themselves. What my friend shared with me and I share with you mask recipes.
Banana anti-wrinkle mask
I love banana masks, I make them periodically for my face. You will also learn how banana is good for your facial skin.
Banana nourishes and moisturizes the skin well, and vitamins C and E contained in banana help smooth wrinkles and also slow down the aging process of skin cells, as they are natural antioxidants.
Banana masks are useful for aging skin, the natural complex of vitamins and microelements contained in bananas has a positive effect on the processes taking place in skin cells.
Banana masks can be used for any skin type. It all depends on the composition of the mask components.

Egg masks are also used for wrinkles. It is better to take homemade eggs for the mask rather than store-bought ones. In egg masks, egg white and yolk are used, mixing them with various mask components.
Egg white tightens the pores, dries the skin, one might say, even tightens it a little, making it more elastic. White is best for oily skin and yellow for dry skin.
Among egg masks, I really like the mask made from yolk, olive oil and lemon juice.

Mix the chopped parsley with the yolk and olive oil. A teaspoon of olive oil, a tablespoon of parsley and a yolk, mix everything. The mask is applied to the face.

I love honey masks, my face looks beautiful after them. It is better to use natural honey for the mask, which you trust. And of course, honey masks are suitable for you, if you are not allergic to honey; if you are allergic, then, alas, you cannot use honey masks.
Honey is the most useful and natural medicine that helps us fight many ailments. But honey is also good for the face, it helps retain moisture in skin cells, firms the skin of the face, making it more elastic.

Boil the potatoes and mash them into puree. When the potatoes have cooled but are still warm, add olive oil and apply a mask to the face. For 1 tablespoon of puree, a teaspoon of olive oil. You can add homemade sour cream or milk instead of butter.

As I promised, a facial aerobics video clip. All this together, as we know, helps very well. So try it, I think you will succeed.
Many women face the problem of dry facial skin, which is usually accompanied by tightness, irritation and flaking. Wrinkles appear more often on such a face, since the skin is more sensitive to loss of elasticity. What can you do to give your skin the hydration it needs and eliminate unwanted signs of dryness?
There are many cosmetic products and treatments for this skin type, some even use hemorrhoid cream for this, but it is always possible to make anti-wrinkle masks for faces with dry skin at home from natural products.
Causes of drought
What causes fluid loss? The skin is made up of several layers:
- dermis
- epidermis
- outer stratum corneum
The epidermis and the cells of the stratum corneum protect the dermis from environmental influences. Namely, the dermis contains 80% liquid, which ensures elasticity. If the protective layer is thin, it is difficult for it to retain fluids in the dermis. Without this necessary help, the skin quickly loses moisture. And this happens even more intensively under the influence of irritating external factors: heat, frost, wind.
It is important to know that there are two types of dry skin:
- This type is given to man by nature. The skin is delicate, does not cause problems at a young age, without oily shine and acne, but over time it is susceptible to the early appearance of wrinkles and peeling.
- The skin becomes this way because of dehydration. This can happen to any skin type due to insufficient hydration or overdrying with special products.
If you have doubts about determining your skin type, you can perform a simple test:
- Wash carefully
- Wipe your face
- Do not apply any cream or cosmetic product to your face
- After a few hours, apply a paper towel to your face.
If no wet marks appear on the towel, it means that the skin is dry. When spots appear on the nose, forehead and chin, we can say with certainty that the skin is oily.
The main reasons why the skin becomes dry:
- Disruption of the functioning of the sebaceous glands
- Dry air
- Frequent exposure to sun and frost
- Extended stay in the water
- Wash in hot water
- Poor quality cosmetics, excessive use of cosmetic products
- Use soap
- Frequent peeling
- Not enough vitamins
- Various skin diseases
- Diseases of the stomach and intestines, thyroid gland, nervous system
- Side effects of certain medications
- Poor diet, diets
- Smoking
- Lack of proper facial care
- Hormonal changes/pregnancy, menopause, hormone therapy
- Age-related changes
Dry air, especially during the cold season, is one of the most common causes of skin dehydration; it makes the skin dull and lifeless. Frost, strong wind, high temperatures, low humidity are dangerous for all skin types, especially if it is naturally dry and thin. A similar effect occurs during frequent visits to the solarium.
The same negative effect is produced by hot water and even by the use of soap. In this case, the natural fat layer is removed, while the skin dries out and becomes firmer.
But the body must receive a sufficient amount of fluid. Violation of water balance, resulting from improper organization of nutrition or certain diets, will be reflected first of all on the face.
Diseases such as diabetes, dysbacteriosis, eczema also affect dry skin. A dysfunctional thyroid gland reduces fat production, causing the skin to lose its elasticity and dry out. A number of medications (antibiotics, diuretics) can have a side effect that deprives the skin of sufficient hydration.
Dry skin is the most sensitive to hormonal changes. The main factor influencing the formation of dry dermis is dysfunction of the sebaceous glands. But this can be influenced by weather conditions and incorrectly selected cosmetic products, as well as poor ecology, bad habits and even active facial expressions and time spent in front of a computer screen.
How to use anti-wrinkle masks on dry skin
Before starting health procedures, you need to find out the cause of dry skin and eliminate the root causes. Otherwise, no product applied to the surface will solve the problem.
There are myths about proper care for this skin type:
- We sometimes hear the misconception that dry skin care is practically useless. This decision is made among the young representatives of the beautiful half. But after crossing the threshold of thirty years, the natural aging process begins in the body. And it is dry skin that suffers the most from the lack of mandatory care. We therefore note the early appearance of facial wrinkles.
- Someone claims that after 30 years, no matter what you do, wrinkles will still appear on dry skin. The body actually ages, and this cannot be avoided, but it is always possible to slow down this process. Well-groomed skin ages more slowly and is certainly more beautiful. Correct actions allow you to keep your skin young, and even at a more mature age, wrinkles will be practically invisible.
You can achieve the best positive results, both for the prevention and for the elimination of facial wrinkles with dry skin, using homemade cosmetic masks. After all, they are full of beneficial natural ingredients. When you prepare it yourself, there is no need to doubt whether chemical ingredients have been added to the composition.
When choosing mask recipes, it is better to focus on options that produce a nourishing and moisturizing effect.
These masks aim to achieve the following effects:
- Restore fluid balance
- Rejuvenation
- Smooth wrinkles
- Maximum moisture retention
Many people note that after regular use of homemade masks, the skin appears smooth, healthy and matte.
You should use homemade care products 2-3 times a week before going to bed for 15-20 minutes. After rinsing, apply a proven moisturizing night cream. It is better to alternate masks.

Contraindications, side effects
Masks prepared at home from natural ingredients have practically no contraindications. Apart from individual intolerance to a product or allergy to a component of the mask, they cannot cause any harm. But there are many options for masks, so you can easily replace one recipe with another, where all the ingredients are suitable for a specific person.
Sometimes you can find recipes in which lemon juice is included in the mask. This product should be used with caution if you have dry skin, as the thin epidermis is particularly sensitive to irritation. The acid threatens to cause severe burns and redness.
If a hair mesh appears on the skin of the face, then you should avoid including honey in masks, as it has a vasodilator effect.
Those with dry skin and early wrinkles shouldn't despair.
Using simple recipes for masks prepared at home, you will soon be happy to look in the mirror. It's great to feel beautiful and healthy.
