Young looking skin is what we always desire. Wrinkles, crow’s feet, fine lines, laugh lines and dark spots are any woman’s biggest nightmares. We cannot run away from aging, but we can delay it with lifting and rejuvenating face masks.
There are several home remedies that can help you fight aging without having to smear chemicals on your skin. Read on.
The effect of tightening face masks
Our skin has a natural protective oil barrier that creates a nice smooth waterproof layer to trap moisture and foreign matter. The skin’s ability to stay hydrated is an important factor in its ability to maintain softness and elasticity.
Unfortunately, exposure to cold weather or air conditioning, the damaging effects of a harsh sun, and environmental pollution can make our skin look tired, dull, and blotchy. Lack of sleep and our hectic, stressful lifestyle and our skin can become wrinkled, flaky and look older than it should be. In addition, the use of makeup on our face can also clog the pores of the skin, preventing carbon dioxide from escaping inside our body and fresh oxygen from entering the skin. This causes the skin to lose its luster and attractiveness.
Face masks are the ultimate nutrient delivery system in anti-aging skincare. They are much thicker than a moisturizer or topical treatment, and due to its long application time and internal heat, the pores open easily and the penetration of nutrients into the skin is more efficient.
Basically all face masks have some kind of cleansing function. They remove excess oil, pollution and pollutants much more gently than astringents, toners or scrubs. Face masks use a variety of anti-aging skin care ingredients, depending on skin type and to some extent the availability of materials. Clays form an important ingredient in many face masks as they are excellent absorbent agents.
Some face masks are also designed to exfoliate, clarify, and unclog pores. Regular exfoliation can reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and improve the clarity, tone, and radiance of the complexion. Some face masks contain antioxidants to protect against free radicals. Face masks for dry skin retain water in the skin, making it softer and more supple. Face masks for oily skin often contain natural fruit extracts and moisturizing marine extracts. These oil-free face masks remove dead surface skin cells and unclog pores.
Applying a face mask once a week helps to revitalize the skin and keep it smooth and youthful. Typically, a face mask is applied to cleansed skin for about ten to twenty minutes, after which the face is washed with warm water and then a thin layer of moisturizer is applied.
Benefits of lifting face masks
The main benefits of a rejuvenating mask:
HYDRATION
Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and honey provide intense hydration by attracting moisture from the environment and locking it into the skin. This smoothes both fine lines and wrinkles and hence they are less noticeable.
SKIN TIGHTENING
Ensuring firmness is a key benefit of a rejuvenating face mask. Ingredients such as retinol and clays absorb excess oils, remove dead skin cells and tighten pores. Which makes it softer, smoother, brighter and younger.
CLEAR FACE
Weather antioxidants, clays or retinol all help in correcting the skin tone and as a result, the skin looks younger, brighter and fresher.
EXFOLIATION
When dead skin cells are removed from the surface of the skin, it will end up looking younger as fine lines, dark spots and pigmentation are all lightened with the removal of top skin cells. Retinols and clays are both effective in this regard. Moisturizing, exfoliating, firming and correcting skin tone all contribute to smooth, youthful looking skin.

How to use face masks
Many beauty masks have instructions for use, but it’s important to note that not all of them will be the same. Be sure to refer to the packaging that came with your mask for specific instructions.
To apply the mask, simply use your clean fingers or a fan brush to apply an even layer of the mask all over your face.
After applying the mask, let it stay on your face for about 15 minutes or so. Then dampen a clean cloth with warm water and use it to gently wipe the mask off your face. Make sure you don’t pull your skin too hard when you wash off the mask! Then cleanse your skin as usual.
Rinse off the mask with warm water and, if necessary, use a washcloth to completely remove it. Splash cold water on your face to close your pores.
After you’re done, apply your toner, serum and oil.
