Many cosmetologists advise taking care of the extension of youth from literally 25 years, since during this period the production of your own collagen and elastin is reduced. At first, no changes are noticeable, but by the age of 30, small wrinkles appear and dark shadows under the eyes do not pass even after rest. It turned out that the main thing in this case was not the cost of the cosmetics used, but the correct lifestyle and regular grooming procedures.
Basically, cosmetics in the range from 50 to 500 rubles contain almost the same components, and the price largely depends on the packaging and advertising costs. More effective cosmetics within one and a half thousand rubles are not always available, especially since such products require the use of additional hardware procedures.
Therefore, at home it is recommended to use cosmetic masks based on natural ingredients. The advantages of this method are obvious:
• only healthy and fresh ingredients,
• the opportunity to try different options and choose the most suitable,
• constant use at any convenient time,
• noticeable effect with regular use.
