When choosing anti-aging care, you should consider what characteristics your skin has and what its type is. Some people need anti-aging face masks at home from the age of 25, while others do not have wrinkles even at 30-35 and can do without them for now (30 years we will consider a conditional limit).
This is neither good nor bad, it's how our bodies work and the natural aging processes start differently for every young woman. But as soon as the first small wrinkles start to appear, you need to review your care program.
It should gradually be included in anti-aging products, including homemade masks for skin rejuvenation. They will help you significantly slow down the natural aging process and keep your face fresh and young for a longer time.
The more attentive you are to your skin, the more likely you will not miss the time and in the future you will not have to deal with accumulated and neglected problems.

- Cells begin to experience a lack of oxygen due to impaired blood supply.
- The first, not yet very deep wrinkles appear, which is caused by a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin.
- Due to a slowdown in metabolism, metabolic processes at the level of skin cells are disturbed.
- The skin loses its luster and has a careless appearance, acquires wrinkles, because the protective properties of its lipid layer are impaired.
- Deep nasolabial folds appear on the face and sagging cheeks are expected due to a decrease in the tone of our facial muscles.
