Homemade eyelid skin masks: effective lifting and more! Effective eye mask recipes at home

01.09.2019

The skin of the eyelids is very thin and sensitive. Therefore, age-related changes appear on it the fastest. To get rid of wrinkles, women resort to a variety of means. Masks are very popular, both purchased and prepared independently according to folk recipes. But in order for them to be useful, you must first familiarize yourself with the rules for their application and possible contraindications.

Features and main problems of the skin of the eyelids

The skin of the eyelids has some features due to which the impact of negative environmental factors affects it the most. In the same area, signs of aging are most clearly manifested. The skin around the eyes is very thin, there is practically no layer of subcutaneous fat under it. Therefore, capillaries often shine through it, creating the effect of blue shadows under the eyes. If this is an individual feature of the body, bruises appear quite early. In adulthood, when the skin turns pale to translucency and even thinner, almost no one is immune from this.

Bruises under the eyes can be just an individual feature, but there are other reasons for their appearance.

As we grow older, after 28–30 years, the production of natural collagen and elastin decreases sharply. Due to the deficiency of these substances responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin, it sags. There are bags under the eyes, folds on the upper eyelid. The content of hyaluronic acid in the middle and deep layers of the dermis also decreases. It "binds" water molecules, nourishing the skin with moisture. With its lack, the skin under the eyes is covered with a network of small wrinkles, “crow's feet” appear in the corners.

The first wrinkles on the eyelids appear when the skin of the face still looks very good.

Exacerbates the situation and improper care. In this case, the rule "the more the better" does not work. If you regularly overload the eyelids with even the highest quality cream, the process of cellular respiration and normal metabolism is disrupted, since the skin's ability to absorb is limited. Blood and lymph stagnates, edema forms. There is irritation, redness, the skin is flaky. "One-time" edema in the morning may well occur when salty and spicy foods, alcohol, and lack of sleep are abused in the evening. If this is a chronic problem, it is recommended to visit a nephrologist, this symptom is typical for many kidney diseases.

If swelling under the eyes has become a chronic problem for no apparent reason, see a doctor

Another prerequisite for the appearance of problems with the skin of the eyelids is active facial expressions. Of course, no one forbids expressing emotions. But constantly squinting with poor eyesight is already strongly discouraged. This provokes the appearance of early wrinkles, especially if the skin is dry. Dry eyelids can also be associated with improper care. Do not wash your face with too hot water, use lotions and make-up removers based on ethyl alcohol.

Instead of constantly squinting, get glasses or contact lenses.

The mechanism of action of masks, skin preparation for the procedure and further care

An eye mask, if chosen correctly, allows you to get rid of many problems. It doesn't matter if it's store bought or homemade. But you can count on a positive result only if certain rules are observed:

The mask is applied only to the area cleared of decorative cosmetics. It is useful to pre-make a steam bath for the face. Be sure to remove your contact lenses. To degrease the eyelids, wipe with lotion. The applied product is lightly driven into the skin with fingertips. Accordingly, the hands must also be clean. You need to move from the outer corner of the eye to the inner. Another option is to apply cotton pads soaked in the composition as lotions on the eyelids. It is best suited for liquid and semi-liquid masks.
A steam bath, if carried out before applying the mask, allows its active ingredients to penetrate into the middle and deep layers of the dermis
Apply the mask gently, in a thin and even layer. The only exception is dark circles on the eyelids. In this case, you can use more funds. If it gets on the eyelashes, mucous membranes and cornea, irritation, profuse lacrimation is possible. On the lower eyelid, you need to retreat about 1 cm from the edge of the eyelashes, on top - leave the moving part clean. It is best to use a small cosmetic brush.
The mask is applied to the eyelids so that the composition does not get into the eyes
When preparing the mask yourself, strictly follow the recipe. Adding ingredients that are not provided for in it can lead to negative consequences. Do not expect that the effect will be faster and more pronounced if you increase the concentration of any components or keep the mask longer than recommended. Usually limited to 20 minutes. Don't wait for it to turn into a crust.
For homemade formulations, use only natural, fresh and high quality products. Otherwise, the benefit can not be expected. It is also forbidden to store the mixture, it must be fresh every time.
When using folk recipes, try to make the composition as homogeneous as possible, without lumps. It is strictly forbidden to have any large solid particles that can scratch thin skin. The components are mixed in glass, ceramic, wooden, enameled dishes. When in contact with metal, many vitamins are destroyed.
Self-made eye masks should not come into contact with metal
After applying the mask, lie down, try to relax and calm down. At the same time, it is not recommended to do housework, sports, even show strong emotions and actively use facial expressions. The optimal time for the procedure is about an hour before bedtime.
The effect of the eye mask will be more pronounced if the facial muscles are relaxed as much as possible in the process.
Constantly look for new effective means. If you use the same mask for a month and a half, the skin gets used to its ingredients, the effect gradually fades away. New formulations allow you to maintain skin tone.
Regularity is very important. It is naive to count on a miracle after one procedure. The mask should be done every 5-7 days, not more often. In case of "oversaturation" of the skin with vitamins, micro- and macroelements, an allergic reaction is possible, even if this product usually does not cause it in you. To obtain a visible effect, you will need at least 10 procedures. With regular application of masks, it gradually accumulates.
The sooner you start targeted eyelid skin care, the longer it will take before the first age-related changes appear. But at the same time, you need to pay attention to what this or that composition is intended for. Young girls are shown moisturizing, nourishing, delicately whitening masks, older ladies - anti-wrinkle and lifting-effect products. If you catch yourself at 40 or even later, the result will be mild or not at all.

What effect can be expected:

return to the skin of the eyelids of tone, firmness and elasticity;
thickening of thinned skin;
reduction of sagging, tightening of the overhanging upper eyelid, general lifting effect;
lightening brown age spots;
smoothing wrinkles - both crow's feet and mesh on the lower eyelids, and deeper ones;
activation of tissue renewal processes at the cellular level;
smoothing out negative changes caused by prolonged exposure to natural or artificial ultraviolet radiation;
restoration of healthy radiance, even skin tone;
softening and restoring the skin (it stops peeling, redness, irritation disappear).

Eye masks, homemade and purchased, give the desired effect only with regular use.

After the specified time, the mask is washed off with plain warm water. It is desirable that it be soft - melted, rain, spring. Even for this, infusions of medicinal herbs, cow's milk diluted in a ratio of 1: 1, are suitable. The fluid must be at body temperature. A good effect in this case is given by chamomile, calendula, cornflower, lime blossom, lemon balm, rose petals.

After washing, apply your usual cream to the skin. Or replace it with any base oils used in cosmetics. The most affordable option is olive oil (cold-pressed Extra Virgin), almond, peach, grape seed, shea, jojoba are also suitable. After ten minutes, remove unabsorbed excess by blotting your eyelids with a paper towel.

After washing off the remnants of the mask, apply your usual eye cream to the skin of the eyelids.

It should be noted that no masks will help if eyelid skin care is not combined with a healthy lifestyle, physical activity and proper nutrition. They are useless if dark circles, bruises, swelling are a symptom of any disease.

Eye masks according to folk recipes

Prevention of wrinkles on the eyelids

It is not yet possible to reverse aging. But it is quite realistic to postpone the moment of manifestation of negative age-related changes. Preventing eyelid skin problems is much easier than dealing with them later.

Effective preventive measures:

Try to control your emotions as much as possible. The circumocular muscles are involved in almost all of their manifestations. Of course, you do not need to turn your face into a stone mask. But try not to frown or raise your eyebrows often, not to smile unnaturally wide, not to wrinkle your nose and forehead.
Never rub your eyes with your fists, as small children often do. By pressing on the skin of the eyelids, you stretch it, you can even damage the capillaries. Another very bad habit is propping your chin up with your fists.
Try to minimize stress. If the specifics of the work do not allow this, regularly devote time to relaxation and facial massage, use special anti-stress cosmetics.
Give up bad habits. Cigarettes and alcohol have never painted anyone. It is very important and proper nutrition, compliance with the drinking regimen. Carrots, red fruits and vegetables, spinach, broccoli activate the production of natural collagen.
Use cosmetics suitable for skin type and age, changing it at least once every six months. Pay attention to the composition. Ideally, there should be no preservatives or artificial flavors at all. The reason to refuse the purchase is the presence of silicones. These tools only mask the shortcomings, and do not fight the problem itself.
Never use soap to remove makeup. It is advisable to wash your face with soft water not from the tap.
Regularly do special exercises, paying attention not only to the muscles of the eyelids, but also to the forehead area. It is the muscles on the forehead that help keep the eyes “open”. The massage is also very helpful. There are many techniques. A good option, for example, Japanese Asahi massage. With deep wrinkles, your own efforts, most likely, will not be enough, contact a beautician.
Do not neglect sunglasses when going out in the summer. This accessory must be of high quality. In cosmetics, the presence of an SPF factor (20 and above) is desirable. Sunscreen for the body for the eyelids is absolutely not suitable.
Never go to bed without removing your makeup. Remove all sources of electromagnetic radiation from the bedroom, provide access to fresh air.
Try to sleep on a pillow that is not too high. If the head is strongly raised, the normal flow of blood and lymph is disturbed, edema appears. It is also not recommended to sleep with your face buried in a pillow. Very much affects the condition of the skin of the eyelids and chronic lack of sleep.
At least once a day, wipe your eyelids with cosmetic ice, wrapping the cube in a linen napkin. You can freeze both ordinary and mineral water, as well as fruit juices, infusions of medicinal herbs.

Contraindications, possible negative consequences, precautions

Despite all the possible benefits, in certain cases, eyelid masks are contraindicated:

tendency to profuse lacrimation;
chronic eye diseases, especially in the acute stage, accompanied by inflammation;
multiple vascular "asterisks" on the eyelids or near the mask application area;
any dermatological diseases that appear on the face;
facial neuralgia;
purulent inflammation, unhealed mechanical damage to the skin (burns, scratches, abrasions, microcracks), manifestations of allergic reactions;
skin hypersensitivity;
identified intolerance to any ingredient of the mask;
a period of rehabilitation that has not yet ended after any cosmetic salon procedure;
recently undergone plastic surgery, after which the stitches on the face have not yet been removed.

Any masks for dermatological diseases can further worsen the condition of the skin.

Before applying the mask for the first time, be sure to test for allergies. Apply a small amount of the composition to the inside of the elbow or wrist, the skin behind the ear or on the temple. If after 25–30 minutes a negative reaction (itching, burning, rash, redness, swelling) does not appear and there is no deterioration in well-being, the composition is suitable for you.

If during the allergy test the skin condition worsened even a little, discard this mask.

It is worth focusing on the technique of applying the mask. You can not do it with sharp rough movements, press hard. The skin of the eyelids is easily stretched, you can get the opposite effect.

At any stage of pregnancy and during the entire period of breastfeeding, it is advisable to choose a mask together with a beautician. He will be able to give advice on the mechanism of its action, which are part of the active ingredients. The reaction of an organism undergoing hormonal changes to some of them can be unpredictable.

Sadly, sooner or later every woman, looking in the mirror, notices that the skin around the eyes no longer looks as fresh and attractive as in her youth. Colors have faded, elasticity has disappeared, thin, yet barely noticeable networks of wrinkles have begun to appear ... If you leave what is happening without attention, every day the sad changes will become more noticeable. But the modern woman has a lot of means to slow down the passage of time. One of these remedies is a tightening mask for wrinkles around the eyes and eyelids at home.

Causes of sagging skin

Who is to blame for the fact that the eyelids have lost their tone and treacherously crawled down, succumbing to gravity? First of all - lived years. They are:

"steal" collagen and elastin from the skin, which a mature body can no longer produce in the right quantities;
deprive the epidermis of hyaluronic acid, and with it the feeling of pleasant “fullness” and elasticity;
accelerate the accumulation of free radicals that damage healthy cells.

With age, the skin loses its ability to produce the substances necessary for elasticity.

However, there is nothing to blame for ruthless time if you yourself actively help him paint his face with:

strict diets and a diet that is poor in vitamins and useful minerals;
non-compliance with sleep and rest;
bad habits;
inability to relax in order to withstand stress;
love for tanning - both natural and obtained under the ultraviolet lamps of the solarium;
too generous use of decorative cosmetics.

The lifting procedure is designed to restore a fresh look to the face, tighten limp eyelids and smooth out wrinkles. In difficult cases, it is performed by a surgical or hardware method, in the lungs - using masks with a specially selected composition.

The role of cosmetic masks in eyelid care

Cosmetic masks have a long list of useful properties. Depending on the composition, they are:

cleanse,
moisturize,
feed,
smooth,
get rid of edema,
improve the color
relieve irritation,
pull up.

However, there are also some downsides.

Table: pros and cons of masks for the skin around the eyes

Advantages	Flaws
With regular use, they have a pronounced effect.	They act superficially, without penetrating into the deep layers of the epidermis, and therefore are powerless in solving serious skin problems and pronounced sagging of the eyelids. Starting from a certain age (40, 45, 50 years - depending on the characteristics of the body), masks can only serve as aids in facial care.
Do not require significant financial investments. Even pharmacy masks sold at a fairly impressive price will cost less than salon procedures.
Easy to use.
There are different types depending on the needs of the skin.

How to choose the right mask for wrinkles around the eyes

A cosmetic mask should be appropriate for the type of skin, age and problem to be solved. Mask selection rules:

Do not use in the care of the eyelids a product that is not intended for them. No matter how expensive and effective your face lifting cream is, it should not be applied to the skin around the eyes. Here it is too thin and delicate, so instead of a lift, you are more likely to get swelling.
Choose masks for your age category. A remedy intended for young skin will not have an effect on mature skin, while the eyelids of a young lady can give an unpredictable reaction to an anti-age mask with its active ingredients.
Although the skin of the eyelids, by definition, should be dry (there are actually no sebaceous glands), in rare cases - due to hormonal failure or excessive activity of the sebaceous ducts located on the forehead - it begins to appear oily and sticky. For women who are faced with such a problem, it makes sense to abandon dense creamy products and try light gel masks for the eyelids.

If a woman has any skin diseases, as well as problems associated with eyelashes and eyebrows, you can choose a mask only after consulting a doctor.

Lifting masks at home for the eyelids and the area around the eyes

No matter how many showcases of pharmacies and cosmetic stores are full of ready-made cosmetic masks for any occasion, reasonable beauties never refuse the gifts of nature that protect the skin from premature aging.

vitamin ice

Calling ice wiping a real mask can only be a stretch. Although, on the other hand, the moisture left on the eyelids will be absorbed for some time, supplying the skin with healing substances, and the effect of low temperatures will work like a mini-cryosauna, enhancing the tightening effect. So do not neglect this simple remedy.

You will need:

still mineral water;
milk, juice of vegetables and fruits, strong brewed green tea.

Cooking:

Combine water with your chosen liquid - milk, juice or tea - in a ratio of 2:1.
Pour into molds and freeze.
Every morning, lightly, without pressure, wipe the eyelids and skin around the eyes with an ice cube. If milk is involved in the recipe, after a while you need to wash with plain water, if juice or tea, leave them to dry on the skin.

Ice invigorates in the morning, tones the skin, prevents sagging of the eyelids.

The power of herbs

Parsley is considered one of the most beneficial herbs for eyelids. It moisturizes young skin, refreshes mature skin, relieves age spots and darkening.

You will need:

several sprigs of parsley;
1 tsp fat sour cream;
1 capsule Aevita.

Cooking:

Finely chop the parsley with a knife or scroll through it in a blender. You can additionally wash the chopped grass with a knife handle so that the juice stands out.
Mix the mass with sour cream.
Cut the Aevita capsule with nail scissors and add its contents to the mixture.
Put sour cream with parsley and butter on cotton pads, cover your eyes with them and lie down for 20 minutes.
Wash off with warm water.

Instead of Aevit, you can take a drop or two of any cosmetic oil: peach, jojoba, wheat germ.

ripe banana

Banana pulp has a good effect on the skin of the eyelids at any age, but this fruit is especially recommended for women after 40 years of age, as an effective means of strengthening and providing vitamins.

You will need:

¼ ripe banana;
0.5 tsp fatty cosmetic oil (avocado, grape seed, sea buckthorn).

Two hypostases of potatoes

An unpresentable, but healthy vegetable shares the first place with parsley in a series of natural remedies for strengthening the skin of the eyelids. And all thanks to starch, which in its pure form can dry out the eyelids, but when it gets on the skin as part of mashed potatoes, it has an extremely beneficial effect on it.

You will need:

1/2 small potato;
1/2 tsp sour cream;
1/2 tsp fatty oil of your choice.

Cooking:

Wash the potatoes and, without removing the peel, boil.
Pound it into a puree, adding sour cream and butter.

women who have recently undergone plastic surgery - such an intervention requires any effect on the skin to be coordinated with a specialist;
anyone who has wounds, scratches or irritation in the eyelids.

Before applying any mask, you should cleanse your face. It is enough to wipe the area around the eyes with a tonic or wash your face with warm water.
Make sure the components are fresh. If you use food as mask ingredients, then check their expiration date. And a mask prepared at home is better to use immediately, rather than store it for a long time.

healthy sleep. A person who observes the daily routine will be healthy both externally and internally.
the right pillow. A pillow for sleeping should be medium in size, thin enough and comfortable for you. Avoid a position in which the head is too high up, as the blood in this case may not circulate properly, which leads to puffiness and bags under the eyes.

The aging process is the natural order of things. It is impossible to avoid it, but it is quite possible to minimize age-related changes. To do this, it is enough just to take care of yourself. Wanting to preserve your beauty, pay special attention to the skin of the face and the area around the eyes, because if our eyes are fresh and rested, this is already half the success.

The skin of the eyelids is extremely delicate, thin and rather sensitive, as it is practically devoid of a protective lipid layer and collagen fibers, and at the same time it is subjected to enormous loads and negative external factors every day.

That is why it is in the eye area that you can see the first mimic and age wrinkles, and over the years there is a drooping (ptosis) of the upper and lower eyelids, which is often accompanied by swelling.

In addition to special cosmetic products, simple lifting eye masks, which are prepared at home, have an undeniable effect.

Combinations of natural ingredients allow you to enhance the effect of each other and thereby achieve the desired result, so regular procedures help reduce the signs of skin aging in this area of the eyes and increase its elasticity.

Rules for the use of masks

Masks are applied over closed eyes. To remove puffiness, the mixture is pre-cooled in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or cold components are taken immediately. Liquid mixtures are impregnated with gauze and applied as a compress.

After any mask in the morning, we use a moisturizer, and if the procedure was carried out in the evening, then a nourishing one. Since the skin around the eyes is very sensitive and many are prone to irritation and redness, it is advisable to test any composition on a small area of \u200b\u200bthe skin.

Lifting eye masks are washed off with cool water or with cotton pads soaked in mineral water, hydrolat or milk. Regularity of procedures 1-2 times a week.

Moisturizing eye mask

To prepare the mixture, mix 1 tsp. thick Greek yogurt, 1 tsp. aloe vera gel, 0.5 tsp ground oatmeal and 0.5 tsp. cucumber puree. Leave on for 15 minutes and rinse with cool water. This composition deeply moisturizes, tones and tightens the skin.

Eye mask after 40 years

The composition nourishes the skin, slows down aging and has a pronounced lifting effect. You will need 1 tsp. sour cream and an aevit capsule. Vitamins A and E stimulate cell renewal and regeneration, moisturize, enhance the protective functions of the epidermis, promote oxygenation and collagen production. Apply the resulting mixture on the eyelids and leave for 20 minutes.

cucumber

Cucumber perfectly removes puffiness, tones and moisturizes the epidermis, and starch tightens. To 1 tbsp. l. cucumber puree, add a pinch of starch, mix the ingredients well and apply on the eye area. Cover with gauze or discs on top. Wash off after 20 minutes.

From algae

The recipe uses spirulina powder. The polyphenols and amino acids it contains are powerful antioxidants that moisturize and prevent premature aging. Active biocomponents and omega fatty acids in base oils deeply nourish, strengthen, moisturize and rejuvenate the skin.

Mix the powder with mineral water, and preferably pink, in a ratio of 1: 2 (1 tsp of powder and 2 tablespoons of water) to obtain a homogeneous paste, add 0.5 tsp. prickly pear, raspberry or jojoba oil and mix again. Apply on the eyelids with a layer of 2 mm. Wash off after 15-20 minutes.

Potato mask

Finely grate 1 tbsp. l. raw potatoes, mix it with rice flour to make a thick mass. Put on eyelids and leave for 15 minutes. The composition well removes puffiness and tones.

Protein

Anti-wrinkle eye mask

Mix 1 tbsp. l. banana puree with 0.5 tsp. avocado oils. Apply for 20 minutes and wash off. Avocado oil has anti-aging properties, and banana nourishes, moisturizes and promotes the elasticity of the epidermis.

In addition to masks, it is useful to carry out oil and ice massage of the eyelids. In the first case, shea butter or coconut oil melted in a steam bath is used. Massage is carried out with fingertips, gently massaging the eye area for several seconds. Blot the rest of the oil with a napkin.

For ice massage, frozen decoctions of herbs are used. The procedure is carried out in the morning, and its duration is about 10 seconds, until the skin turns pink. Then immediately apply a moisturizer or base oil.

Both procedures strengthen the skin, restore its elasticity, improve nutrition and blood circulation.
