The use of face masks against wrinkles is considered ineffective, but in vain. A medical expert declares with confidence that you simply do not know how to cook them properly.
Rules for using wrinkle joints
In order for face masks used at home to prove its effectiveness, several criteria must be met.

And yet, cleansed skin "works" after using masks about 30% more effectively. Remember that before applying the composition to the face, you must first cleanse the skin with lotion or toner. With oily skin wash off dirt and makeup residue with foam or scrub and with dry skin - with plain water.
- Preparation of the assembly of the mask.45% of women's allergic reactions occur because they do not check the expiration date of the anti-wrinkle mask component. And this must be done. And it is advisable to use only natural ingredients. It is best to test for allergies beforehand by applying a small amount of the mask to the hook of the elbow. If no allergic reaction occurs after 15 minutes, you can use it safely.
- Use of the product.The mask should be gently applied to the face with clean hands. The mechanics are as follows: the composition is applied from the bottom up along the massage lines (from neck to hairline). Then move from the fractures of the nose and nostrils to the ears and from the chin to the earlobe. The next layer should be applied to the area around the lips and eyes. If the mask contains active ingredients, do not apply them to the lips and eye area. After full application, inhale and exhale several times. You can lie down and close your eyes. Be aware that certain face masks, especially those made with berries and fruits, will leak, so try to protect your clothes first. It is advisable to stick your hair in the shower cap and cover your shoulders and chest with a towel.
- "Lifespan" of the mask.On average, it takes about half an hour to keep the mask from wrinkles, this time is enough for the active ingredients to start affecting the upper layers of the epidermis. However, if you experience a burning sensation, itching or redness, hives, rinse the mask immediately with water. Just to take, take allergy medication, and if possible, see your doctor.
- Remove the mask.An ideal option is to gently remove the mask first with a wet towel or sponge, this is a so-called mild cleansing. And only then rinse with cold or warm running water, without using soap. If you have dry skin, the anti-wrinkle mask is washed off with warm water, but with oily products it is washed off with cold. After removing the remnants of the mask, apply moisturizer to the facial skin.

- For dry skin, you should choose a cream with a dense texture that nourishes it extremely.
