Facial Rejuvenation With Natural Means

Next, in this article, we list 9 great tips on how to manage to rejuvenate your face with natural home treatments and achieve younger, firmer and more glowing skin. 

Facial rejuvenation by natural means

1. Enjoy antioxidants

If we want to rejuvenate both our facial skin and our body at the same time with natural means, we need to start with a healthy and balanced diet.

A good diet should not only be balanced and healthy, but should also include a lot of foods that have antioxidant properties.

There are a wide variety of nutrients that can help protect our bodies from oxidation by free radicals:

• Vitamin C: For example, green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, asparagus, broccoli, avocado, fresh mustard, beets, cabbage and blackcurrant.
• Vitamin E: For example, nuts, spinach, avocado, whole grains, beeswax, parsley and cold-pressed vegetable oils.
• Beta-carotenes: For example, cod liver oil, alfalfa, asparagus, apricot, beetroot, carrot and garlic.
• Lycopenes: For example, tomato, watermelon and guava.
• Flavonoids : For example, alfalfa sprouts, spinach, lemon, onion, blackberry, black pepper, green tea, wine and beer.
• Vitamin B6: For example, meat, fish, milk, egg, whole grains, potato, spinach, wheat germ, avocado, nuts, seeds and brewer’s yeast.
• Oleic acid: For example, olive oil.

Omega-3 fatty acids are also recommended, as is a high intake of salmon, as scientific studies have also shown the effectiveness of the antioxidant effects of salmon on skin rejuvenation.

2. Don’t stay in the sun too much

Exposure to the sun helps us get a beautiful tan and provides plenty of vitamin D, which is an essential food supplement for the body.

However, excessive exposure to the sun can cause premature skin aging and other negative consequences for both the skin and the body as a whole.

We can expose ourselves to sunlight for 10-15 minutes a day. This allows us to enjoy the health benefits of the sun for the skin and body without damaging the skin.

If you need to spend more time in the sun, whether for work or leisure, always use a sunscreen that is right for your skin.

3. Perform a facial massage

Self-massage of the face is not only pleasant and relaxing, but it also helps to rejuvenate the face gradually with natural and gentle techniques.

For example, you can do a facial massage in the morning immediately after waking up, in the evening just before going to bed, or at any time of the day whenever you only have a few extra minutes.

It is recommended to use gentle vegetable oils or natural creams for the facial massage.

The most important thing in a facial massage is to activate the blood circulation in the face and thereby give the skin natural elasticity.

You can try different massage techniques on your forehead, cheeks, nose, chin and very gently performed around your eyes as well.

For a facial massage, use only the middle finger and an anonymous finger. The movements around the eyes should be soft, with the cheeks and chin rising again and always away from the center in the forehead area.

4. Brush your facial skin

For facial massage, there are brushes that can be used to gently massage the facial skin. In that case, you just have to make sure that these brushes are really soft.

Gentle brushing of the face helps to activate the blood circulation in the area and exfoliates the dead cells of the skin, giving the skin a gray and flat appearance.

The brush massage should be as gentle as possible, especially on the most sensitive areas of the face, such as the skin around the eyes. You can do a facial brush massage 1-2 times a week.

5. Prevent premature wrinkles

The tension experienced during the day is also reflected in the skin of our faces, as well as the grimaces and grins made quite unnoticed.

In order to keep your skin youthful and prevent premature wrinkles, you need to avoid all of these bad habits mentioned above, as they make blood flow to your face harder and make your skin look older.

Facial massage in this case helps to restore blood circulation and prevent premature wrinkles, but at the same time we should also be more aware of our facial movements and unnecessary grimaces.

6. Escape to nature

Whenever you can, try to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind you for a moment and escape to nature or the clean surroundings of the mountains.

Fresh air and a relaxed nature life help both to nourish the skin and to find a balance with ourselves, which in turn has a positive effect on the skin of our face.

7. Prefer vegetable oils and essential oils

We can help nourish the skin daily with various vegetable oils and essential oils, as their natural ingredients and high antioxidant content are a great fit into natural cosmetics.

Excellent vegetable oils suitable for face rejuvenation include:

• Coconut
• Almond
• Jojoba
• Rosehip (rosa mosqueta)

Excellent essential oils suitable for face rejuvenation include:

• Lavender
• Rosemary
• Rose
• Jasmine
• Geranium

8. Enjoy plenty of water

Don’t forget to drink plenty of water as it helps keep your body hydrated and prevents contaminants from accumulating on the surface of the skin.

Drinking water on an empty stomach is a widely recommended method and therefore in order to achieve the best possible effect, the intake of fluids should be scheduled between meals and fasting.

One and a half liters of water a day combined with a healthy lifestyle is enough to maintain the youthfulness of the face in a natural but effective way.

9. Take care of your mental well-being

Our faces can be seen as a reflection of our innermost being. If your goal is to rejuvenate your face in natural ways, in addition to your healthy lifestyle, you also need to pay attention to your mental well-being.

You will discover how regular beauty routines, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and living in harmony with both ourselves and others around us can have surprisingly strong effects on the youth of our facial skin as well!
