Closer to 35, the skin begins to lose its youth and potential. Moisture is not kept as active, the face gradually "settles" and the first wrinkles form around the lips and eyes. It is important not to miss this moment by diluting your usual care with anti-aging products. And homemade masks can help with that.
Face masks 30+
After 30 years, even oily skin types need regular hydration, but it’s too early to forget about mattifying compounds. But it’s time for owners of a "dry" face to wake up - moisturizing masks should be used interchangeably with masks to restore and renew the epidermis.Although the transition between young and mature skin should not go to extremes.Over-nourishing products only make wrinkles more visible, and a passion for "heavy artillery" can cause flabby. The care should be tailored to the needs of your skin, so feel free to experiment with a combination of masks with different effects.

Steam baths also increase the efficiency of supply. But be careful, contraindicated in cardiovascular disease, thin skin, rosacea and rosacea.
Fresh foods and non-metallic utensils are used to mix the masks. You should apply the product immediately after preparation - keep in mind that the natural ingredients spoil quickly.
