With age, the skin on the face changes, loses its elasticity, evenness and other properties that make us young and attractive. But scientists have figured out how to deal with such injustice and come up with a special pull-up mask-bandage for the face. He writes about it lifehacker.
What is a mask - bandage and why it is used
A mask - bandage is a special fabric mask that, like an elastic bandage, affects certain areas of the face and neck. Due to the regular use of such a mask, you can tighten the skin of the face, eliminate the sagging and deformation of the muscle frame.
The bandage creates compression, which stimulates the destruction of fat cells and improves blood circulation.
If you try to work the face muscles while using the mask, you can feel that the bandage has the effect of a simulator. In order to move the muscles need to make an effort.
It is easy to use a bandage - you can walk around the house in such a mask and even sleep. The muscles in your face and neck will train all the time. And it is useful for any age.
If you have ever used compression underwear, then the specifics of the fabric mask-bandage work will be nothing new.
Previously, compression underwear was used during the recovery period after surgery and childbirth, and now cosmetologists and plastic surgeons recommend wearing such underwear regularly. In addition, the combination with cosmetics and massage increases the effect several times.
Tissue bandage for the face is able to eliminate the age-related deformation of the face, improve muscle tone, reduce fat deposits, increase skin turgor, especially in the cheeks, chin and neck, and save you from shallow wrinkles.
Pros, cons and contraindications
But there is a mask - the bandage has its drawbacks and contraindications. In the bandage is not very comfortable to sleep. Although the effect of regular use of the mask is so noticeable that it is worth suffering some inconveniences.
If you rely only on the properties of the mask, then you may be disappointed. Without the use of pull-up cosmetics, the effect is less noticeable.
And finally, a purely psychological point of inconvenience - your second half. You should prepare a loved one for the fact that a man in a mask will sleep next to him, and this is not the most attractive one.
But the contraindications of the mask-bandage are quite serious:
- Pregnancy and lactation period
- Disorders in the cardiovascular system and hypertension
- Skin lesions or open wounds in the places to which the bandage is attached
Types of masks and their features
Masks differ in types and features. There is an elastic mask in the form of a bandage to strengthen the muscles of the neck and face, facial bandage and a face belt from a double chin.
In addition, there are variations of masks with a lifting effect and other additions. So, it is possible to choose to eliminate which problems you need a mask. If fine wrinkles bother you, then it is better to use a facial bandage, and in order to bring beauty to the chin, take the belt from the double chin.
Now on sale there were sets of different masks. The kit includes 5-7 pieces. Such a set will serve you for a long time, as with the constant use of cosmetics the service life of the mask is reduced, and if they are changed regularly, they will last longer.
It is better to purchase sets that include not only elastic masks themselves, but also replaceable fabric masks soaked in a special compound. The principle of action is as follows: you first need to wear a replaceable mask, and from above fix the elastic one. Such lifting complexes do not require additional cosmetics and are considered more hygienic.
It is easy to care for bandages. It is enough to rinse them under warm water and wash with ordinary soap as necessary. It is not recommended to dry on the battery or on the sun, as the elastic components deteriorate from such drying quickly enough.
