Mature Skin Care
March 10, 2010
Mature skin is visibly dry, lose and lack of glow. With age, the ability of the skin to produce collagen decreases. Also, the skin is unable to absorb nutrients from the blood adequately.Hence, the skin becomes deprived of most of the vitamins and minerals. It thus becomes extremely important that nutrition is supplied through the surface.
Topical absorption by the skin will help in getting results faster than making change in the diet.
Apart from the regular cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine following are things one needs to do.
Face Packs
The mature skin requires more hydration hence the packs must include those combination which provide long-term moisturizing benefits. Papaya, bananas, water melon, aloe vera and potatoes are top ingredients.
Apply the mashed paste on the face and neck and keep for 3 minutes. Wash with lukewarm water. Similarly, bananas can be used.
Soak 6 tbsp of urd dal overnight. Make a smooth paste in the grinder. Add 1 tbsp of milk cream and 1 tbsp of cream. Apply on the face and neck region. Allow it to dry then wash off with warm water. This pack will increase elasticity of the skin.
Eggs whites are extremely good to increase firmness of the skin. Beat 2 egg whites and apply directly to the skin. Apply these before taking bath as the eggs leave a pungent odor even after washing.
Soak red rose petals for 2 days. Stain through a cloth to obtain a pinkish red solution. Store it in refrigerator. Use this water to wash your face. The solution acts both as a cleanser and a toner.
Just Before Sleeping
Make a paste of pure sandalwood powder with concentrated rose solution. Add 2 drops of sweet almonds oil. Apply it and let it dry. Sleep while keeping it on the face overnight. Wash with tap water in the morning. Do this remedy continuously for 7 days and see results.
Alternatively, one can use pure coconut oil. Clean the skin thoroughly. Take 3-4 drops of pure coconut oil on the palm. Rub hands against each other to generate heat. Dab it on the face and keep it overnight.
Use of Make-Up
Use of a wrong foundation will enhance fine lines. Avoid use of heavy make-up. Use only best skin care products.
