Anti-aging masks 50+ at home
Cosmetology is constantly evolving, new anti-aging products and procedures are appearing. But the advertised methods can be easily replaced with homemade masks. Natural compositions do not penetrate deep into the dermis, but help visually smooth out age-related changes in the skin. In addition, they are a good prevention of the formation of new wrinkles.
It is easier to prevent and delay external signs of facial aging than to wait for an “advanced case”
There are several types of masks that differ in focus:
- whitening agents - fight pigmentation;
- tightening - have a rejuvenating effect, but are more suitable for oily and combination types, because they cleanse and narrow pores;
- moisturizing - maintain hydrolipid balance, which is useful for everyone at any age;
- nutritious - replenish the lack of nutrients, a salvation for dehydrated and sagging skin;
- modeling (lifting) - strengthen turgor, allowing you to slightly correct and tighten the oval of the face;
- toning - give a rested look, refreshing and improving microcirculation.
Massage lines indicate areas and directions of least stretch of the skin
It is important to understand that using masks occasionally will not bring positive results. Depending on the composition of the procedure, do it from 1 to 4 times every 10 days. In this case, you must follow the general recommendations:
- the skin must be cleansed in advance, using a scrub or soft peeling;
- the mixture should consist only of fresh and proven products;
- the metal oxidizes, so the ingredients are mixed in glass, ceramic or wooden containers;
- natural masks have no expiration date - they are used immediately after preparation, and the remains are thrown away;
- the mixtures are distributed over the face from bottom to top, strictly along massage lines;
- after application, it is advisable to minimize the effects of gravity by adopting a horizontal position;
- keeping the mask on the skin for more than half an hour is pointless;
- When removing the mixture from your face, do not use soap or cleansers.
Signs of skin aging
The aging of facial skin depends not only on the years lived, but, to a greater extent, on various toxins that enter the body with water, air and food. Constant nervous tension and depression can speed up the natural aging process. Facial skin aging is characterized by the following signs:
- Decreased skin elasticity. This weakens its tone and causes sagging and deformation of the face shape.
- The appearance of wrinkles. A network of wrinkles appears over the entire surface of the face. Natural expression wrinkles noticeably deepen.
- Swelling of the upper and lower eyelids, bags under the eyes.
- Change in natural complexion and appearance of age spots. The face takes on an earthy or yellowish tint.
Women are very sensitive to their appearance, so they themselves notice the shortcomings that appear.
At an early stage, it is quite difficult to independently detect signs of aging, so starting from the age of 25 you need to regularly visit a cosmetologist and follow his recommendations.
Effective recipes for face masks after 50
The effectiveness of home remedies depends on the individual characteristics of the skin. Finding a suitable recipe can only be done experimentally. In addition, the quality of the products used influences the effectiveness.
Express mask with lifting effect
Fruit acids and starch improve the appearance of the face, visually rejuvenating it. Just 1-3 procedures will allow you to get rid of wrinkles, albeit temporarily. A course of 7-14 masks, done 1-2 times a week, will tighten the skin.

Gelatin mask
After 50 years, it is undesirable to use “pure mixtures”, because they are too rough for mature skin. But still, gelatin consists of animal collagen - one of the substances directly responsible for youth.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. l. gelatin;
- 1 chicken egg;
- 1 tsp. honey;
- 2 tbsp. l. milk;
- 0.5–1 tsp. aloe juice
Preparation:
- Heat the milk by dissolving honey and juice in it. Pour in the gelatin and leave for 15–30 minutes.

- Stir the yolk into the still warm mixture. Gradually add protein.
Do not allow the composition to cool completely, otherwise it will be difficult to apply. The mask is distributed in 2–4 layers (suitable for the décolleté and neck areas), after applying the last one, leave for 15–20 minutes. The course of procedures consists of 10–14 sessions up to 2 times a week. This is enough to restore the oval of the face and remove facial wrinkles.

To maintain a positive result, a curd mask with lemon and honey is done regularly - from 1 to 3 times a week
Cabbage mask
White cabbage is a source of vitamins A, C and K, which help prolong skin youth. About 20-30 masks (2-3 times a week), prepared on the basis of this vegetable, will tighten the oval of the face and smooth out wrinkles.
Ingredients:
- 150–200 g fresh cabbage;
- 1 glass of milk;
- 1 tsp. red clay;

Toning lifting mask
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp. gelatin;
- 1. tsp. chopped plantain;
- 1 tsp. chamomile flowers;
- 1–2 tsp. lemon juice.

- Strain the broth and pour gelatin over it. Leave for 10–20 minutes.
- Add lemon juice and return the mixture to the water bath. Until the gelatin dissolves. Allow to cool to a temperature comfortable for the skin.
The mask is applied in 2-3 layers, avoiding the area around the eyes. It is worth distributing it with a brush and quick movements - as it cools, the gelatinous mass will thicken. Leave for no more than 30 minutes, during which it is recommended to lie down. And after hardening, carefully remove from bottom to top or wash with warm water.
The mask is made once every 10 days. A temporary effect is visible after 1-3 applications, while permanent changes will require 2-3 months.
Lifting gelatin and protein masks involves strong tightening of the skin, which over time leads to a facelift
Eye mask
The recipe allows you to instantly refresh your skin. The mask moisturizes, nourishes and brightens - a course of 15-20 applications in 3-4 days will reduce the severity of “bags” and facial wrinkles.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. l. sour cream;
- 30–40 g boiled potatoes;
- 0.5–1 tsp. olive oils.
Homemade compresses made from grated potatoes, tea or cucumber slices can temporarily refresh the skin around the eyes.
Preparation:
- Boil potatoes without adding salt. Peel and mash into a puree.
- If you are prone to swelling, then instead of fatty sour cream you should take milk or cream. Combine the ingredients and mix well.
The mask is distributed directly onto closed eyelids and the skin around the eyes. For convenience, you can apply the mixture to cotton pads and apply. After 15 minutes, wash your face.

Starch instead of Botox
Homemade cosmetics with starch will help refresh your face as if you had Botox injections.
Why is potato starch so useful?
- It contains B vitamins, which promote cell restoration and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
- Vitamin C – rejuvenates cells, improves complexion.
- Vitamin PP – removes “sleeping” cells from sleep.
- Calcium – sets in motion metabolic processes.
- Iron – enriches the epidermis with oxygen.
- Potassium – moisturizes the deep layers of the epidermis.
Starch compositions are suitable for women with absolutely any skin type, even the most sensitive. For young girls, starch will help remove oily shine and dry out acne, and for women over 50 years old, get rid of wrinkles and saturate the dermis with moisture.
Brewed starch is considered more effective; it nourishes better than dry starch. To prepare recipes for different masks, you should first make the base:
- First of all, take 1 tbsp. spoon of dry starch, pour 100 ml of cold water, green tea, milk or herbal decoction, stir.
- Pour in another 50 ml of hot water, stir quickly until the starch thickens. There is no need to bring to a boil. The base is cooked like regular jelly.
- The starch mass can be stored in the refrigerator for 5-6 days, no more.
- Various components should be added to the cooled mass.
Rules for applying potato masks
- Before applying the product, you need to steam your face, then the vitamins will better penetrate the pores of the epidermis.
- Apply several layers to form a dense film. Let each layer dry, then apply the next one.
- After time, wash with warm water and apply moisturizer.
- The minimum course is 10 sessions, which should be carried out every other day.
Starch masks have a cumulative effect, so the result is not immediately visible. And after 10 sessions you will look not 50 or older, but 5-8 years younger, based on the degree of neglect of the skin.
Contraindications and possible consequences
It is undesirable to use tightening masks in several cases:
- age less than 25 years;
- any damage to the skin - wounds, burns, scratches, etc.;
- allergy (intolerance) to the components used;
- thin, weakened or visible vessels, including rosacea and “stars”;
- any inflammation - acne, comedones, etc.;
- recovery period after injection or surgical rejuvenation.
Negative effects do not occur so often, most of them being an allergic reaction, lack of results or worsening of the facial condition. The reason for this may be either ignoring contraindications or excessive abuse of masks that are not suitable for the skin.
If you are overweight, anti-aging care using homemade masks often turns out to be ineffective or even harmful, making wrinkles only more pronounced.
Skin irritation is not necessarily due to allergies; itching and redness can be caused by the use of spoiled products
Operating principle
Natural components fill the skin with vitamins and microelements, accelerate metabolic processes, improve blood circulation and increase the protective functions of the dermis. When metabolic processes are activated, cell regeneration occurs and the epidermis is renewed, which gives a rejuvenating effect.
Some berries and fruits with a high content of fruit acids have a good lightening effect and allow you to remove age-related pigmentation on the face. Most products allow you to tighten some parts of your face and even out its shape.
Reviews
Like many girls who take care of their faces, I choose not only purchased products, but also homemade masks. If you choose them correctly, they are no less effective. I have combination skin, so I prefer rice mixtures - they help cleanse and tighten pores, as well as give my face the porcelain smoothness of Japanese beauties. By the way, the mask surprised me with its effectiveness; the result is already after 1 use. I prepare it like this:
- I wash about 60 g of rice, add water and leave overnight.
- In the morning, I mash the soaked cereal with a fork or in a mortar. To the point of mush. It is better to drain or drink excess water.
After the rice mask, the skin became more matte
I apply it for 15 minutes. During this time, the mask dries out and begins to tighten the skin, absorbing everything “extra.” I use it 1-2 times a week. The effect was good even without first cleaning the face with a scrub. Although it seemed impossible to achieve it the first time.

I've heard a lot about how tomato masks tighten pores. Although I wasn’t specifically looking for a specific recipe, I remember that you need to cover your face with tomato slices (as they do with cucumbers) or mix tomato pulp with oatmeal.
I decided to try the last method on myself. I prepared and applied the mask, preparing to wait 15 minutes. But after 3, my whole face lit up! It stung unbearably, although my skin is not soft. And she usually withstands different scrubs calmly, because I didn’t expect such an effect at all. I immediately washed off the mixture, but even after washing my face, my face just burned. I smeared it with baby cream and it became a little better. Although the redness subsided only after half an hour... in general, this mask is not for sensitive and irritated skin.

Bananas are one of my favorite fruits. I prepare a variety of cocktails, desserts and pastries... they also help to maintain beauty. From time to time I make a face mask: I grind a banana with honey and apply it for 15–20 minutes. After using it, your skin immediately becomes like a baby’s.

Mixtures prepared from natural products have a superficial effect, so it is useless to rely only on them. Lost years, as they say, cannot be returned. As part of comprehensive care, homemade masks slightly, but still slow down skin aging, improving the appearance of the face.

Mature skin care
The most important component of skin care after 50 is the right approach. Products, procedures and masks must be age appropriate. During such a period, the structure of cells changes dramatically, so you need to approach the problem from other angles than at 20 years old. Only knowing all the nuances can you achieve good results.
At the age of 50+, the skin is extremely sensitive to external influences and is susceptible to allergic reactions, so treatment must be done carefully and carefully.
It is recommended to follow the following tips:
Hydration is the ultimate enemy of aging. It is advisable that natural masks/tonics include vitamins A, B, C, as they saturate the skin with moisture and promote metabolism.
A complex approach . It is best if cosmetic skin care is accompanied by prevention of the body as a whole (proper nutrition, taking vitamins, controlling bad habits, massage will only bring you closer to success)
Regularity. Efforts will not bring any results if they are done “from time to time.” Twenty minutes a day will not affect your daily routine, but your skin will say “thank you.”
Quality ingredients. All products included in homemade masks must be fresh, environmentally friendly, natural and, if possible, homemade (in the case of milk and eggs).
Masks for women over 50 are mostly aimed at rejuvenation and lifting (tightening), so the ideal option would be to alternate moisturizing, tightening and nourishing masks.
How clay helps fight wrinkles
A special rock - natural clay works in two different directions:
- It absorbs sweat and dries out the skin.
- Kaolin, especially blue, removes the layer of dead cells, eliminates spots and peeling of the epidermis, heals wounds, the skin becomes soft, velvety, and beautiful in color.
Interest in clay has grown over recent decades. She gained such popularity for her healing abilities:
- regenerate tissues,
- absorb salts
- absorb toxic substances and odors,
- disinfect the surface,
- advance cell aging,
- nourish with the necessary microelements,
- preservation of the environment for bacteria.
Using this mask twice a month stimulates metabolism, the production of elastin and collagen, the skin becomes elastic, and wrinkles disappear. Decoctions of herbs, dairy products, apple cider vinegar, cognac, glycerin, citrus juice, aromatic oils, honey, and other products can be added to clay-containing anti-wrinkle cocktails.
It is important to remember that to make the first masks, only white clay is used; they are diluted only with water, which will allow you to evaluate the body’s reaction to this product.
Nourishing, moisturizing
After 50, the lipid balance of the dermis is disrupted, causing the skin to become dry and vulnerable. Homemade masks based on oils and creams, which in combination with vitamin supplements will provide the dermis with comprehensive care, will help fill the deficiency of natural fats.
"Indian"
Compound:
- Teaspoon 20% cream
- 5 g turmeric (on the tip of a knife)
- A teaspoon of liquid honey
Combine all components and apply the mask to your face. After 15 min. rinse with warm water. It is important to remember that turmeric is rich in coloring pigments, which can cause your face to appear yellowish. For this reason, you should not make a homemade mask before going outside.
Marine
To prepare it you will need:
- 50 grams of seaweed without additives
- Half a banana
- 3 ml sesame oil
Grind the ingredients with a blender. Spread the resulting paste over your face and leave for 30 minutes. Remove the remaining mixture with a napkin and wash. The mask allows daily use. Suitable for all skin types.
Nutritious

The effectiveness of different types of clay
Each type is useful: the properties of clay depend on the color and composition of minerals. The table shows the effect of using a mask with one or another type of clay:
Properties | Clay | ||||||
white/kaolin | blue/ keel | red/ pottery | yellow | green/illite | gray | pink/ French | |
Smoothing out wrinkles | + | ||||||
Whitening | + | + | |||||

Improved blood circulation | + | ||||||
Acceleration of metabolism | + | ||||||
Detoxification | + | ||||||
Removing greasy shine | + | ||||||
Restoring hydrobalance | + | + | + |
Due to the different composition of substances, masks with different types of clay are not suitable for everyone. This palette will help you choose the appropriate clay color:
fits | |
white | for oily skin with comedones and other skin problems, with hyperpigmentation |
blue | for normal and problem skin, for acne, for lightening freckles and age spots |
yellow | for aging dehydrated skin, with cupidosis |
green | for combination and dry skin, with hormonal imbalance |
red | for sensitive and dry skin, redness, allergies |
gray | for sensitive skin with enlarged pores |
pink | for aging, dry skin |
black | for all types, for aging and dull skin, for acne |
IMPORTANT. Kaolin is suitable for all women, but rare gray clay is only for those with dry skin types.
Additional recommendations
Not only age, but also factors such as sun, stress, excess weight, poor environment and smoking bring their own “fly in the ointment”.
To ensure that the path to the source of youth is not thorny and unsuccessful, in addition to home skin care, try to follow these tips:
- Sunbathe in salons as little as possible. Artificial tanning greatly damages already weak collagen fibers.
- You also need to be careful with a natural tan. Safe time for sun exposure is from 9 to 11 am.
- Eat right and drink more water. Healthy products help the skin recover, water moisturizes the skin from the inside.
- Play sports. Even minimal daily physical activity kickstarts your metabolism.
- Give up destructive habits. Tobacco and alcohol lead to premature aging of the entire body.
To remain beautiful and catch admiring glances, a woman needs to work tirelessly. Even a mature lady, with proper care, can turn age to her advantage and give young beauties a head start.
