Professional anti-aging masks
Currently, all well-known cosmetic brands produce anti-aging masks. This product is intended for mature skin that, with age, begins to lose its elasticity. Professionals call this category of cosmetic products revitalizing masks. As a rule, such mixtures have a complex effect: they intensely nourish and hydrate the skin, activate microcirculation, smooth wrinkles. Thus, the use of masks can be compared to "first aid" for aging skin.

The most effective anti-aging masks today, in the opinion of cosmetologists, are biomatrix masks.
Biomatrix is a strip of tissue impregnated with a special compound, which is applied to the desired area of the face or neck. Previously, such a mask is moistened with water, due to which its components are activated. This type of care contains plant collagen, fruit extracts, hyaluronic acid and other elements that stimulate the skin's regeneration processes. Biomatrices are often based on algae. When wet, this type of mask turns into a gel substance, which after use is simply washed off with water.
