I'm proud of my mom. She runs in the morning, douses herself in cold water, rides a bike and does not forget to pamper herself with beauty treatments . No, she does not visit expensive salons and does not buy luxury cosmetics. But every evening she tries to make a mask for hair or for hands, face. And, I confess, at 65 she looks much younger than her friends.
“The habit of taking care of yourself should be in women at the genetic level!” My mother told me since childhood. And rightly so, because a woman should remain beautiful in any situation and at any age.
When my first wrinkles appeared at the age of 30, I was upset - I was not ready to age so early. I even considered the option of botox injections , which were praised by friends. But it turned out that injections are not at all as safe as cosmetologists say. Mom told me what to do, and it really worked!
starch instead of botox
Potato starch is a natural antioxidant rich in anti-aging vitamin C and nicotinic acid. Homemade starch botox is suitable for all skin types, with the exception of skin with an individual reaction to certain components.
Starch helps to get rid of excessive peeling and greasy shine on the skin. After application, the skin becomes silky and soft. In adulthood, using starch masks is a must! Small wrinkles are smoothed out, deep ones become less noticeable, and the skin becomes elastic and simply shines.
There are a lot of recipes for starch-based anti-aging masks, but today I will talk about those that I personally tried and the result of which I liked.
