TOP 5 most effective anti-aging masks
Asian Mask
Given where it comes from, it should come as no surprise that it is its main ingredient. . . rice! Partly because of it, oriental women look so good because rice contains:
- starch to soften the skin;
- choline, which relieves irritation;
- elastic silicon;
- dry potassium;
- vitamins PP and H, which refresh the complexion and promote cell regeneration.
When making this mask, you must follow the recipe exactly - only then will it be effective for rejuvenating the face and making the skin soft and tender.
So, 200 g of rice should be washed well seven times. Then pour it into the pot and pour two glasses of purified water. Cover and let the rice stand for 10 hours. For example, you can soak it in the morning and prepare the mask until the evening.
After this time a film should appear on the surface - no need to be afraid, then everything is correct. Then place the pot on the stove and cook the rice until all the water is gone.
Attention!Do not mix the contents of the container!
For the mask you only need the top layer of rice, it is rich in the largest amount of valuable substances. It must be carefully removed, cooled and mixed with the egg yolk. After five minutes, you can apply an anti-aging mask on your face. Then you need to rest for twenty minutes and rinse with cold water.
This mask is good, above all, for women over 45, whose skin has begun to fade. The remaining rice is quite edible.

Aloe is especially good for dry skin, although it is largely suitable for all types. It evens out the complexion, remarkably refreshes and smoothes fine wrinkles.
To prepare such a mask, you need to cut a few leaves from the plant and leave them in the refrigerator for two weeks.
