Surely it has happened to you too that you met someone who managed to fool their real age. A pleasant and youthful appearance is also a sign of a sound mind and strong energy. Meeting such a person is very pleasant because they live their life to the fullest even in old age and are content with themselves.
At-home rejuvenation
The description of this perfect yet simple procedure, which we will discuss further now, I received as a bonus during a conversation with a woman who managed to beat age. My mother’s employee Genefa Tadeušna is already 84 years old. But at first glance…
She exudes dignity, she is slim, her gray hair looks like it came from a fashion salon. And the wrinkles — they only ennoble her. Of course she has them, like all grandmothers, but her wrinkles are somehow special, fine and practically invisible. I could describe her appearance for a long time because I truly admire her.
Genefa Tadeušna confided that she started using the facial mask back when she was young, when she was 25. She was already a trained nurse then and one of the doctors advised her to use ginger on her face. Strange? Maybe. Maybe even a little scary, after all ginger is spicy. But the effects!
Golden ginger and turmeric mask
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger root
- 2 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric
Preparation
Mix finely grated fresh ginger root with honey and turmeric. Apply to your face and leave on for 10 minutes. It is possible that the mask will sting a little, that’s okay — it should have a warming effect. It is precisely because of its warming effect that blood circulation improves and wrinkles are smoothed!
Rinse off the golden mask with warm water. If you can, rinse your face after each such mask with pomegranate juice.
Pomegranates contain an incredible amount of antioxidants and fruit acids, so the skin will be wonderfully soft after each such rinse.
This is of course not mandatory; it is more of an additional step that enhances the effect of ginger and turmeric. Always use pomegranate juice fresh — ideally make it yourself from a small amount of pomegranate seeds and consume it immediately.
Rejuvenation at home is possible without complicated cosmetic procedures and overpriced products! Let’s take a closer look at why the individual ingredients of the golden mask are so effective and how they act on the skin.
Turmeric
Turmeric contains ascorbic acid. Due to its effect on the skin, active collagen production occurs. Turmeric also contains niacin, which helps regenerate damaged skin cells.
Turmeric lightens! It’s paradoxical, but a powder of a vivid yellow color can even bleach pigment spots, tightens pores and leaves the skin velvety smooth. If you’re worried that turmeric will leave yellow stains on your face, wipe your face after rinsing the mask with a cotton pad soaked in lemon juice, which will remove any residual yellow tint.
Any yellow discoloration can also be removed with pomegranate juice, which we mentioned above. In addition, it is recommended to do the ginger mask preferably in the evening. In that case, by morning there will absolutely be no traces of turmeric visible on the face.
Ginger
Ginger restores elasticity and tone to the skin. On contact with the skin, ginger seems to awaken it from sleep, as it stimulates blood circulation even in the deepest layers of the skin. Thanks to this, the complexion becomes healthier and brighter, and the skin begins to glow. Sagging disappears, and fine as well as deeper wrinkles are smoothed.
Ginger enriches the skin with important vitamins and improves its defensive abilities. The skin then does not react as sensitively to temperature fluctuations and other external stimuli. With regular application, its barrier function improves.
If you have dry skin, you don’t need to worry that the spicy ginger will dry it out even more. On the contrary, ginger will help hydrate the skin deeply and enrich it with beneficial microelements.
Honey
The honey that is also part of this mask is by no means just for show. It contains polyphenols that slow oxidative processes in cells, stopping aging, and also zinc that slows aging and eliminates any inflammation.
Honey in combination with ginger and turmeric will help not only to lighten but also to rejuvenate the skin, and at the same time remove possible damage. For example, small scars and marks.
At-home facial rejuvenation has a large number of additional benefits! One of them is the thinning of facial hair and the hairs above the upper lip. Ginger really can do that; its burning power destroys hair follicles that are absolutely unnecessary on the face.
How long until the effect is noticeable?
Already after the first application. And I’m not joking! Immediately after washing off the mask, many women notice that their face seems reborn, the skin tighter and more elastic. After the third application, regenerative processes in the deep layers of the skin begin and wrinkles gradually start to disappear.
How often to use the mask?
Three times a week. That is the optimal number of treatments. If you apply the mask exactly three times a week, its effect will be obvious. At the same time, the skin will have time to rest and regenerate because there will be necessary breaks between applications.
In which cases should the mask not be applied?
If you have open wounds on your skin, or the skin is damaged in any way. In that case do not use the mask — the ginger in the mask would burn you badly.
At what age can the golden mask be applied?
The mask is suitable for women of any age — the sooner they start using it, the better. If a more mature woman starts using the homemade mask, she will notice its effect sooner because time has already left its marks on her face. Nevertheless, younger women will also be pleased with the toning, hydrating and lightening effect of the mask.
The mask is ideal for women of any skin type because it has its own healing effect on each skin type.
At what time of day should the mask be applied?
The best time is in the evening. Because of the ginger the skin warms up, so it’s good after applying and rinsing it not to go out, especially in cold seasons. Evening is also ideal because after a course of natural rejuvenation you don’t need to wear makeup anymore.
When should the mask not be used?
If your skin is hypersensitive, you can shorten the mask’s application time, for example to just 5 minutes. The effect will still occur. However, this recommendation applies only if your skin is truly hypersensitive; in other cases shortening the application time does not make sense.
If you suffer from broken capillaries, it is better to shorten the mask’s application time as well. And that is despite the fact that some women point out that with regular application ginger, thanks to its ability to strengthen blood vessels, on the contrary contributes to the disappearance of broken capillaries.
Will the homemade golden mask stain my skin yellow?
No, it won’t stain. The recipe specifies the ideal amount of turmeric, which has a beneficial effect on the skin but does not stain it. If you have very fair skin, you may notice a slight yellow tint after applying the mask, but that will quickly disappear after rinsing. Alternatively, cleansing the skin with a cotton pad soaked in lemon juice or pomegranate juice will also help.
Try this homemade mask even just once and you’ll see that you’ll become a fan of it for many years! I wish you youth in soul and body, and above all good health. Don’t forget to show this article to your friends.
