Recipe No. 1 for anti-aging cream with iodine
For the cream we need:
1 tbsp. honey, 1 tsp. Vaseline, 1-2 drops of iodine, 1 tbsp. castor oil (buy at the pharmacy), small glass bowl.
Preparing the cream is very simple: First add 1-2 drops of iodine into a bowl - exactly 1-2 drops, no more! Then add honey, Vaseline and castor oil, mix everything well. By the way, you can store this cream anywhere, but no more than 1 month.
The anti-aging cream must be applied to a cleansed face; before application, it must be stirred (you can stir with your fingers if the container in which you store the cream at home allows it). After applying the cream, you need to keep it on your face for 15 minutes to 2 hours - however long you have. This makes the cream similar to face masks - by the way, it is also an excellent cosmetic product that can be easily and quickly prepared at home.
This rejuvenating cream softens the skin, makes it elastic, removes tightness and flaking. Separately, we can emphasize such properties of the cream as skin whitening: freckles and birthmarks become lighter and less noticeable.
Recipe No. 2 for anti-aging cream with cognac
Everyone who has tried it speaks extremely positively about this recipe: they talk about the amazing rejuvenating effect and how soft and velvety the skin becomes.

The recipe is simple: all the components are mixed, and then the cream is applied to a cleansed face with a cotton swab. After an hour, wash off with warm water.
Creams prepared at home perfectly smooth out wrinkles, moisturize and nourish the skin. You just need to prepare such creams and use them regularly - that’s the whole point: if you carry out cosmetic procedures “from time to time,” there will be little benefit.
And finally, a few tips: Be sure to attach a label to the jar of cream, which should indicate the date of manufacture and the version of the recipe that was used.
All homemade cosmetics should be kept tightly sealed. A piece of foil or oiled paper placed on the neck of a capped jar creates a fairly tight package.
First you need to make just a little bit of the cream, try to see if it suits you and if there is any irritation, and only then prepare a larger portion.
Most creams can be applied at night without rinsing off; others need to be removed with a damp cloth, especially when not all of the cream is absorbed.

What are the benefits of Vaseline and how does it work?
Vaseline base is actively used in the cosmetology industry, added to cream formulations, it serves as the basis for the creation of almost all emollients, including those with therapeutic effects.
Without this product, peeling, laser resurfacing and other effective rejuvenation methods cannot be performed. It not only has a softening effect, but serves as protection against infectious irritants. And its moisture-retaining ability is due to a dense layer that is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the skin.
In winter, it serves as an excellent remedy against dry skin caused by wind and frost. In former times, this was how babies’ cheeks were saved to prevent frostbite. Today, few people use this method, preferring modern creams.
Cosmetologists are entirely on the side of Vaseline; its uniqueness and usefulness does not need proof. And in the fight against the first signs of wrinkles on the face, it is simply irreplaceable.

Types of iodine for inclusion in masks
Cosmetologists usually add to masks not iodine solution in alcohol, sold in pharmacies, but products in which its content is as high as possible. These include all types of algae and sea salt.
A solution of iodine with alcohol, which everyone has at home, can also be used to add no more than 2 drops to the mask formulation, since this product is concentrated and contains alcohol, which can cause dryness of the epidermis and burns.
