Elina Bystritskaya is one of the most beautiful actresses in Soviet cinema. Unusual beauty secrets helped to remain the irresistible star of the painting “Quiet Don”. 

For example, she always kept matches and an elastic bandage in the house. Why? It’s just that with them she was not afraid of either excess weight or wrinkles. Take note of these ways to keep the film star youthful.

Now the stars have a whole army of specialists who help them stay beautiful. Professional fitness gurus and nutritionists do not let them get better, and cosmetologists and plastic surgeons give eternal youth. 

Soviet film stars did not have such opportunities, and therefore they were as sophisticated as they could in order to be irresistible for as long as possible. For example, Elina Bystritskaya denied any sport, but all her life she did an unusual exercise using … matches.

The actress simply scattered a whole box on the floor and bent down to pick up one of them. Such unusual gymnastics, according to Elina, contributed to a rush of blood to the head and improved the complexion, and also worked out every joint. Bystritskaya devoted as many as two hours to such training and tried to do them regularly.

Elina Bystritskaya had another unusual beauty trick. With him, her skin remained smooth and elastic, and the oval of her face was clear and toned. What is the secret? From the age of 29, the actress began to wrap her face at night with an elastic bandage. The star of the Soviet cinema used a special technique: one bandage was fixed across the forehead, the other was wrapped from the chin to the top of the head, and she always wore a dark bandage over her eyes. 

Bystritskaya had no doubt that wrapping with tight bandages does its job, and sometimes even shared this beauty secret with others. Once, during a trip to Germany, the actress could not resist and turned to the wife of one of the consuls herself. 

“I really want you to keep your appearance, ” Bystritskaya said to the diplomat’s wife.

After that, the star of “The Quiet Don” told the woman about her tricky way of bandaging her face at night (imagine how surprised she was!) And assured her that it was this technique that allowed her to maintain a taut face oval and fight wrinkles. If you were in the place of the consul’s wife, did you listen to Bystritskaya’s beauty advice?
