Hello, my friends!I don’t want to think about sad, but what to do if the years rush in pursue so swiftly that sometimes they push in the back, forcing us to scandal us faster.And now in the mirror I want to look at myself much less often, and to fall into depressive states more and more often.Sometimes it becomes so sad and insulting that the face is covered with wrinkles much more actively compared to other parts of the body.To accept yourself in a new matured image, it turns out far from everyone and not immediately.
But despondency, this is a path leading to nowhere, which never seduced me, so in “Minutes of weakness” I always try to switch to positive emotions as often as possible - photos of loved ones of loved ones, good old films, beautiful books, poems, music, etc. After the adoption of such “antidepressants”, there is immediately a desire to live, to create and act.
There will be many examples, tips, methods and calls for the use of practical actions, otherwise "the steam locomotive will not move."And it will go, as you already managed to guess, about the skin of the face and simple anti -aging procedures available to absolutely any desire.
Tell me, doesn’t anyone want to know about the most effective, quick and free ways for rejuvenating the face and means against aging skin?Of course, I want, but on this, as a rule, the desire for most people ends.There are many reasons - lack of money, time, effort, stimulus and motivation.But, the root cause based on his sad life experience, lies completely different - everything is in her, mother laziness.
Exposure to water on the skin at various temperatures
As you know, water (liquid) is hot, cold and warm, as well as very cold (ice) or hot (boiling water).At certain temperatures, its effect on the face is manifested in completely different ways, therefore, before use, the degree of heating and cooling should be taken into account depending on the condition of its type of skin.
- From the recommendations of cosmetologists, it follows that with a fat epidermis it is preferable to wash with hot water, since it is degreased, that is, all excess sebum of skin are removed from the surface.But, the frequent use of this procedure has certain side effects: expanding blood vessels, causing redness on the cheeks, relaxation of the muscles of the face, which leads to their premature gust.Therefore, more often one or two times a week to abuse washing is still not worth it.And without fail, after the completion of the procedure, you should rinse your face with warm or slightly cool water.
- It is believed that the cold is tempering.It is so for the skin of the body, but such a wash is not suitable for the face, especially with a dry epidermis, since it begins to dry even more from this, and with oily and normal dermis it is quite acceptable and acceptable, since the procedure is excellently refreshing, invigorating and gives a surge of strength for the coming day.It should also be borne in mind that the cold narrows blood vessels.
- The room temperature of water is a golden mean that is suitable for all types of facial skin.It has a mild effect, avoiding any traumatic manifestations.
- Use to wash the face of ice fluid, the phenomenon is extremely rare.Only with a very fat epidermis, this method can benefit.The pore narrowing occurs, the strengthening of blood vessels and a rush of blood, but, nevertheless, it is still not recommended to use it more than one or two times a week.
- Boiling water during washing, of course, is not used at all.So, we will drink the tea with him and get true pleasure from this.
Contrasting the skin of the face

It was a long time ago, I don’t even remember the exact date, apparently, 8-10 years ago, as I began to wash myself with cold water in the morning.And until recently, everything seemed to be satisfied.But, in connection with the natural age-related changes in the skin of the face, the internal “worm of doubt” made me climb the Internet in search of miraculous means that can somehow slow down these changes.
There had to shove the material quite a lot.What is “beautiful” the Internet that no one is responsible here for the words and consequences of absolutely any recommended tips.
There is only one principle: helped - rejoice, harmed - the fool itself!
Therefore, there was something to laugh at and to deteriorate, but, fortunately, there was also useful information that seriously interested.
“You won’t try - you will not recognize,” says popular wisdom.So, I had to be patient and start testing “in my own skin”, in the literal sense of this phrase, the methods, means and recipes against aging or for rejuvenation of the skin of the face.Here, in meaning, who likes more.
To begin with, instead of the usual washing of my face with cold water, I switched to a contrasting one.The sensations are indescribable!This is quite serious and without any irony.
A contrast shower is a single change of cold and hot water.For the face, as well as for the body, it is very useful, as there is a good training of blood vessels.But, these are far from all the charms that are performed with the skin during the procedure, so it is necessary to tell about them in more detail.
The benefits of contrasting washing
Applying alternating washing is undoubtedly useful to everyone, but for those who have problematic skin, this is simply invaluable good.They are of the following in nature:
- Loss of elasticity and elasticity.
- Gray, unhealthy color and fat folds on the face.
- Double chin.
- Polluted pores with black dots.
- Wrinkles, “goose legs” near the eyes and deeper, caused by premature aging, etc.
So, what benefits are contrasting washing:
- The change of water from cold to hot, contributes to the active process of tonic muscle tissues of the face, since the vessels first quickly expand and immediately instantly decline.It turns out a kind of peculiar gymnastics of blood vessels.
- Subcutaneous blood circulation, due to the temperature difference, is intensified several times as a result of which metabolic processes are stimulated, and as a result, protection against external factors (ultraviolet radiation, the surrounding air temperature) increases.The skin becomes elastic, elastic, the second chin gradually disappears and fatty folds on the face are absorbed.
- Processes occur that have a beneficial effect on the whole organism, such as strengthening immunity, improving the composition of blood, relieving stress, as a result of which, fatigue passes, the mood rises, a surge of energy and vigor is felt.
Rules for contrasting washing
I will say right away, I do not adhere to any rules, but I am guided by my own feelings.But, you should not be equal to me.Firstly, because there is a large “experience” of washing with cold water, and secondly, the skin of the face is not sensitive and, fortunately, has no special problems.In order to avoid various troubles with hypothermia or overheating of the epidermis, it is advisable to study the rules recommended by cosmetologists.And they recommend the following:
- Wash in the morning.To obtain a greater effect, just before the procedure itself, it is desirable, to make a few simple exercises.This will warm the skin and accelerate blood circulation.At night, it is better not to do contrasting washing, since difficulties with falling asleep may arise, due to the oversaturation of the body with energy.
- You need to start rinsing the face with warm water.Rinse a couple of times, switch the crane to the “hot mode” (select the temperature individually, depending on the sensitivity of the skin, but to make it not very hot) and wash yourself for 6-8 seconds, i.e., 1 splashing in 1-1.5 seconds.Then turn on the crane for the "cold mode" and do the same.
- In the future, after getting used to the use of warm water, but proceed immediately to the hot.This is an axiom with contrasting washing - always start with hot dousing, and end with cold, and the first should take more time than the second.The duration of splashing can be increased to 20-30 seconds, and the number of alternate crossings to 3-5 times.There is simply no sense more, since the effect will not be better, but making hypothermia is quite real.If, nevertheless, you managed to hypothermia, that is, the skin was covered with “goosebumps”, then you should stop the procedure, and the next day to choose a water temperature slightly warmer.
- During contrasting washing, it is contraindicated to use any cleansing cosmetics.
- But after, on the contrary, the face for warming must be massaged with a soft towel and applied any softening cream.Going out, preferably, at least an hour after the end of the procedure.
By the way, it is not at all necessary to use the tap.You can just take two small basins, fill one of them with hot, second cold water and apply all the above points in order.For some, it will be much easier and more economical.
These are such unpretentious rules.To what extent you will use them, it directly depends on your desire, capabilities, effort and time.But, no matter how good and beautiful such washing are, not everyone can enjoy them, since there are a number of contraindications.In a large barrel of honey, as usual, a spoon of tar must be present.
Contraindications for contrasting washing
- All kinds of tumors (regardless of origin).
- Any inflammatory phenomena.
- Diabetes and asthma.
- Cardiovascular diseases and diseases of the circulatory system.
- Viral infections and tuberculosis.
- Too thin and sensitive skin.
- Sclerosis and vegetative neurosis.
- Strong rhinitis and diseases of the organs of the reproductive system.
- The manifestation of allergic reactions with prolonged water exposure.
If there are diseases from the list, it is better not to take risks, but consult a doctor.In extreme cases, use the alternative method, especially since there is such.It is called “dry” contrasting washing, since ice cubes are used instead of water.This method also promotes smoothing wrinkles and elasticity of the skin of the face.
Rules for conducting "dry" contrasting washing

- In the procedure instead of water, ice is used, so you will have to cook it in advance.When buying a refrigerator, special plastic molds for freezing are always attached to it: pour liquid into them, put the refrigerator into the freezer and wait until it turns into the ice.To obtain greater benefits, you can pour not water, but a decoction of herbs (chamomile, St. John's wort, sage, rosehip, etc.), or use any natural juices (fruit, vegetable).
- Next, you need to take a small basin filled with hot water, and put it directly in front of you on a chair.The temperature should be as high as possible, but, of course, not leading to a burn of the skin of the hands.
- In the basin we moisten a napkin or a small towel, then, slightly squeezing the excess fluid, apply to the face of the seconds for 30-35.As soon as she begins to cool, you need to plunge it again in hot water.
- While the fabric warms up, we take the obviously prepared ice cube and massage the face along the massage lines.Then again apply a hot napkin.Thus, the alternation of ice with a hot compress must be done three times.At the end of the procedure, gently wipe your face with a dry soft towel.
For those who do not know massage lines or have already managed to slightly reset, I recall their main directions:
- Three lines pass on the forehead - from the nose to the temples, parallel to eyebrows, on both sides to the ear shells.
- On the nose - from the tip of the nose to the middle of the site located between the eyebrows.
- Around the eyes.From above - from the inner corner of the eye to the external, and from below in the opposite direction: from the external to the inner corner.
- On the cheeks of the line pass from the wings of the nose and the corners of the mouth to the auricle.
- On the chin they are located along the contour of the lower jaw, from its middle to the ears (on both sides).
- On the neck - from the subclavian fossa up to the chin region.
Contrasting compresses for the eyes

Since contrasting temperature differences perfectly stimulate blood flow to a definitely selected area, why not apply this procedure to the eye site.Not a single organ during the day is subjected to such a crazy load as our “eyes”, so it is not surprising that many problems arise already at an early age.Baths just help prevent them in the future and improve vision in the present.
The procedure is performed simply:
- Two small basins with very hot and cold water are taken (as far as the hand is able to withstand), and two towels, preferably terry, as they are thicker.
- One towel in hot water is wetted, and the second in the cold.It is tightly attached to the eyes, first hot - for 1.5-2 minutes and afterwards immediately cold - no more than 1 min.This sequence is performed in a circle 4-5 times.
- In this procedure, you can replace cold water with pieces of ice made preferably from decoctions of herbs or juices.
- If there is no time or desire to do the whole procedure entirely, then it is permissible to do with ice cubes.It is enough to cover your eyes, take the ice and drive around until it completely melts.Repeat the cycle three to four times.
Simple
When the woman’s age overcomes a certain line, it is no longer possible to do with the same procedures, even the most remarkable, because comprehensive care is still necessary for the skin.On the Internet there are an incredible number of recipes for creams and masks that offer to rejuvenate at home.You can purchase ready -made, aimed at helping a specific cosmetic problem.
To whom and what is more suitable for himself will solve himself, and I, only, continue to share their simple but effective ways to rejuvenate the face.And I propose to try to make a mask from oatmeal:
- Take half the flakes at once and grind them into flour with a blender.
- We dilute one tablespoon of oatmeal with water to a porridge.It is better to take water not from the tap, but any cleansed.And then already at your discretion.You can just wash yourself with this gruel or make it thoroughly and put it on your face until it dries completely.Another option is possible - in a thick oat mixture, wet the gauze napkins and attach to the face, also until they dry out.
- After completion, it is necessary to wash.
This mask is good in that, firstly, it is suitable for any type of skin and excellently nourishes it, and secondly, it is easy to cook and creates a long pleasant, pleasant effect of soft velvet on his face.
It is good to alternate this mask with washing with milk or cream - with dry skin and kefir - with oily porous.
Facial aging exercises
With age, the facial muscles lose their elasticity, so the contours are lowered, and the skin gradually becomes flabby.It is necessary to perform exercises that include the muscles of the face and improve blood circulation.Therefore, I want to complete the anti -aging comprehensive care as simple, but incredibly effective exercises.Even at a long time I read about them in the magazine, since then I force myself to periodically fulfill them.On the Internet, of course, their various new modernized versions have already appeared, but I am closer to me.So, let's start:
- Get up exactly, legs shoulder-width apart, hands are lowered, stretch out the chin forward and start slowly with force and tension, opening the mouth wide, pronounce three letters “oh-o” lingeringly.They need to say them, in order to obtain an effective and quick result, before the appearance of fatigue and light pain in the muscles of the face and neck.
- The stand is the same, only now we lower the chin down and press it to the chest.By absolutely the same principle, we pronounce the letter “and”.Quantity - to easy pain.
- In conclusion, we make tilts of the head, slowly, to the crunch, stretching the neck muscles as much as possible: forward-back, left-right, 5-8 full cycles.That's all!
Afterword
It seems to be written a lot, at first glance it seems that tips are difficult to fulfill.But if you single out separately practical actions, without additional explanation, we will see, only, short three points:
- In the morning-contrast washing (10-15 minutes for everything).
- During the day-three exercises (10-20 minutes).
- In the evening-a mask or milk-kefir washing (10-20 minutes).You can alternate every other day with contrasting compresses for the eyes.
Over time, when it is already a habit, you completely stop noticing and counting minutes.Everything flows into the usual life rhythm.Therefore, other reasons, except for their own laziness, do not exist in the refusal of the performance of the simplest complex.
P.S.I forgot to mention the fourth - the main point.Every time you look at yourself in the mirror, do not forget to pronounce the words-chamber of the main character of one famous film, regardless of any years and wrinkles:
I am the most charming and attractive ...
And then any rejuvenation processes will occur much faster and more effective.
The described complex for rejuvenation of the skin of the face I use only 2.5 months.Of course, I do not expect any miracle of smoothing wrinkles from it, although they, of course, are available.
- After contrasting washing in the morning, incredible vigor appears, dark circles under the eyes, indeed, go away, pores, acne disappears, pigmented spots brighten.
- After a mask from the oatmeal, a very peculiar and pleasant sensation on the skin is created.
- I am just delighted with exercises.The skin of the face and neck from them is noticeably tightened, becomes elastic, the second chin disappears.To use them for a long time, so I do not know how they influenced me in 2.5 months.I think it's good.
In general, from the use of the complex, the result is wonderful both visual and emotional and psychological.
My friends, according to the laws of the advertising genre, in the final, I must certainly say that all wrinkles were smoothed out of the “application of this complex and I am again 18+”, but in fact it is not so easy to confront age-related changes, although possible.True, it will have to spend much more time and effort on this than 30-40 minutes a day, because the speed of the aging process depends on so many factors-heredity, chronic diseases, lifestyle (mobility, environment, nutrition, etc.).
