Masks for withered skin

Today I offer easy homemade masks for women after 40s. Withered and wrinkly skin can be cared successfully. Generally woman of any age should stay attractive and charming. Well, it’s the lotion for dry withered skin. Take 2 table-spoons of poppy petals and pour it with 200 ml. of boiling water. Keep for some hours and then filter. Ointment with this lotion is very useful for wrinkled skin.

If you have wrinkled skin with dilated pores, you should make the mask from sweet cherries. Knead some cherries to prepare ½ glass of squash and add 1 tea-spoon of honey and 1 tea-spoon of lemon juice.

Good remedy from wrinkles is vegetable marrow and its juice. Take 1 tea-spoon of vegetable marrow juice and add pulverized yolk, mix everything and put on the face for 15 minutes. Take the mask away with the wad wetted in warm water. Then rinse the face with cold water. You can make another mask from vegetable marrow. Put vegetable marrow’s slices on the face and keep for 20 minutes. Then wash the face with milk.

Here is the rejuvenesced mask for withered skin. Mix in equal parts grapes juice and raw milk (approximately in ¼ glass). Wet layer of cotton wool in the mixture and put on the face. Cover the mask with the bath towel. In 15-20 minutes take the mask away and put the age-specific cream.

And finally the vitamin mask. Grate celery root and mix with grated apple. Add some oat flour for thickening/ Put the mask on the face and keep for 15 minutes. Then wash the face with decoction from leaves and root of celery. All components of this miraculous mask moisten and tone up the skin of women at a mature age.

Hello, thank you for compliments to my blog. "Vegetable marrow" (sorry, there was a mistake:-)) is like a squash. As for raspberrie leaves, you can pick them in your own garden:-) If you live in the megapolis maybe you'll address to drugstore. Usually dried healing leaves or any herbs, mentioned in my recipes, can be found there.

thank you for answering my questions. i don't know what the "megapolis" is? where are you located? i am in south florida, usa. i don't know of any place here to buy such items, it's too bad really, i love the idea of natural skin care. you have a wonderful blog, thanks for putting so much into it. any ideas for a gal with a few mouth wrinkles to use that can be found around my neck of the woods so to speak? would st.johnswart be of any help to me for wrinkles? thanks so much again.

I think by megapolis she means a "large city," a location where a herb garden may be quite scarce so a drug store would be your best bet.
