Rejuvenating gelatin mask instead of professional cream
This natural product, which is used to prepare jellied desserts, contains a rejuvenating component – collagen of animal origin. This component is responsible for the elasticity of the skin and acts as a “building material”. The lack of this component leads to sagging of the epidermis, sagging, loss of elasticity, and the appearance of wrinkles.
The gelatin mask has no contraindications and can be used at any age. In addition to the rejuvenating effect, it has another useful property - cleansing. Pulls out impurities from clogged pores, leaving skin clean, smooth and silky.
Gelatin contains a huge amount of nutritional components, vitamins, acids, so a gelatin mask saturates the skin with essential substances and stimulates metabolic processes.
Recipe
The simplest version of a homemade gelatin-based anti-wrinkle mask is to properly dissolve the product. You will need 6 tablespoons of gelatin, 8 tablespoons of liquid. For dry skin it is recommended to use milk, for oily skin - decoctions of medicinal herbs. Cucumber juice is suitable for any type of epidermis. Leave to swell for 30 minutes. After this time, put on a small fire in a water bath, melt until liquid, without bringing to a boil. Cool slightly and apply to previously cleansed skin. Keep the mask until completely hardened.
To remove impurities from the pores, remove the mask in one motion. In other cases, simply wash off with warm water. To enhance the rejuvenating effect, additional components are added to the mask. Add the swollen gelatin during the heating period in a water bath.
Simple recipes
- The pulp of banana, strawberry, melon, apricot, and raspberry is added to the gelatin base. In general, any seasonal fresh berries. The anti-wrinkle mask will also be nourishing.
- Add protein, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of glycerin. The result is a moisturizing preparation with a rejuvenating effect.
- Mix 1 tbsp. a spoonful of gelatin base with a similar amount of kefir and flour.
- For problematic epidermis with obvious signs of aging, it is recommended to make the following cream. Mix 1 teaspoon of gelatin with 110 ml of water, 3 teaspoons of honey, 2 g of salicylic acid, 110 g of glycerin. Bring to a smooth consistency in a water bath. Apply to face daily. Use as a night cream. Unabsorbed residues are washed off after 20 minutes.
Useful properties of components
Depending on the functions that the cream should perform, its composition can be varied. For example, for skin after 45, not only the lifting effect is important, but also hydration. For young epidermis, special importance should be given to protection from aggressive factors and cell nutrition.
Homemade anti-wrinkle cream
What components can be used in creams:
- Base oils
. Produced by squeezing the fruits and seeds of various plants. During the cooking process, they may undergo heat treatment, but this reduces the beneficial properties. Therefore, for home use and the production of cosmetic products, it is better to give preference to cold-pressed products. Light, quickly absorbed substances are suitable for delicate skin and the treatment of wrinkles. Watermelon and grape seed oil, argan, baobab, coconut, hemp, green coffee and others; - Dairy products
. They have a strong tightening effect, lighten the skin, and help reduce wrinkles due to amino acids. Whole milk and kefir are especially popular as cream ingredients. They are completely organic in origin, very rarely cause allergic reactions, do not clog pores (which is important for young skin) and moisturize; - Honey
. Provides deep nutrition to cells, activates the production of elastane and collagen. With regular use, it lightens age spots (age and hormonal), helps get rid of old and facial wrinkles. May cause allergic reactions; - Natural lifting components
. These are chicken egg yolk, gelatin, clay, some pharmaceutical preparations (borax, iodine). They are mandatory components for intensive creams (necessary for a strong tightening effect); - Plant extracts

Homemade skin cream after 40 years
At the age of 25, metabolic processes in the body slow down, which affects the balance of moisture inside the cells. To bring the epidermis back to normal, it is enough to use moisturizers. Thanks to the activation of natural processes, the level of hyaluronic acid increases, wrinkles are smoothed out.
At the age of 30, the elastin level decreases along with hyaluronic acid. The first noticeable wrinkles appear around the eyes, in the bridge of the nose. To make your skin look young again, you have to use nourishing creams with intense hydration.
After 40 years, firmness and elasticity are lost due to a lack of elastin and moisture levels in the cells. But the most dangerous phenomenon is that collagen levels decrease and noticeable wrinkles appear. To remove defects and smooth out wrinkles, you need to force the body to produce collagen, and this is much more difficult than replenishing cells with elastin and hyalunic acid. A homemade cosmetic product has an intense effect, forcing cells to work as at a young age.
