As he approaches the age of 35, the skin begins to lose its youth and potential. Moisture is not kept so actively, the face gradually "settles" and the first wrinkles form around the lips and eyes. It is important not to miss this moment by diluting the usual care with anti-aging products. And homemade masks can help with this.
Face masks 30+
After 30 years, even oily skin type needs periodic moisturizing, but it's too early to forget about mattifying compounds. But it's time to wake up for owners of a "dry" face - moisturizing masks should be replaced with those aimed at restoring and regenerating the epidermis.Although there is a transition from young to mature skin, it should not be accompanied by excesses.Over-nourishing products will only make wrinkles more visible, and the passion for "heavy guns" can cause sagging. The care should be tailored to the needs of the skin, so feel free to experiment by combining masks with different effects.

Steam baths also increase the effectiveness of the care. But be careful, they are contraindicated in cardiovascular diseases, thin skin, rosacea and rosacea.
Fresh food and non-metal containers are used for mixing masks. You should apply the product immediately after preparation - remember that natural ingredients deteriorate quickly.
