The benefits of natural cosmetics to improve the condition of the skin and preserve its youth are undeniable. The undisputed leader among home remedies is sour cream. It suits the face skin unconditionally. The acids contained in this product have disinfecting and whitening properties. This is true for any skin.
Sour cream - a recognized leader among the products used for skin care
For which age group is a face cream mask best suited for? Reviews of women who have been using it since girls say that it is good for young people with skin prone to inflammation, and for ladies of mature age. Such masks have been made for many generations of women. Not only our mothers and grandmothers knew about the benefits of sour cream for facial beauty, but also their ancestors.
Which is better - home or bought in a store?
Everyone knows that sour cream is different. Store and market are very different. Which one to choose - a store, with a pleasant sourness, or a sweet market sour cream, in which the sourdough has not yet been put? In this case, you should focus on the presence or absence of preservatives, as well as on the type of skin. Sour cream for the face, bought on the market, is characterized by high fat content. This property is good to use in winter, when the skin is dry and weathered. Soft and very liquid sour cream without sourdough will moisturize and soften such skin well. However, homemade face cream with skin prone to sweating and rash of acne will only be harmful. In such a situation, the store product with the lowest fat content should be used.
General recommendations for all ages and skin types
Sour cream mask should not be kept on the face for more than 20 minutes. Drying it is also unacceptable. This happens when the sour cream layer is very thin and the air in the room is excessively dry. In this case, it is recommended to add new layers of the mask, without waiting for drying, to spray the face with water from the sprayer or cover it with a damp towel. The mask can be applied only to a well-cleaned face, and after rinsing it should be wiped with a tonic and the effect achieved should be fixed to the appropriate season and skin type with cream.
Honey mask
Egg yolk, sour cream and facial honey are the best food. The triple effect of this mask deserves to replenish the piggy bank of beauty recipes for every woman watching herself. The lecithin contained in the yolk, penetrating deep into the epidermis, rejuvenates skin cells, nourishes honey, and moisturizes sour cream. This is a unique tool for aging skin. This mask is made of sour cream for the face (reviews about it can be heard from both our mothers and grandmothers) is applied to the skin with a rather thick layer. As it dries, it should be renewed by applying a fresh layer.
You can do this mask once a week - it all depends on the condition of the skin. Beauticians believe that a honey-yolk mask of sour cream for the face from wrinkles formed in the corners of the eyes, the so-called crow's feet, is the best tool.
For problem skin with acne
Problems of young skin, up to 25 years old, often come down to the fight against rashes and the effects of acne. Sour cream with face salt with such defects is a real find. Salt is an excellent disinfectant, but it can dry the skin so much that it threatens premature wrinkles. In this situation, low-fat sour cream will come to the rescue. For the face (reviews confirm this), this mask fits amazingly.
Fine pink or black Himalayan salt with lemon will improve skin color, as citric acid has a whitening effect. Keep the mask on your face should not be long. Ten minutes is enough. After washing off the skin should be wiped with tonic or pink water.
Chia Seeds for Anti Aging
Who at least once tried a mask with chia seeds, he could not help but become a fan of it. Chia and sour cream for the face (reviews of everyone who made this cocktail agree) are suitable for all skin types. Soaked seeds dry quickly or slip off. Sour cream is an excellent base and a connecting element. Thick chia mucus draws toxins from the epidermis. This is true for both young and aging skin. A face mask made from homemade sour cream and chia seeds is suitable for those over 40, and for younger women you can recommend a 15% sour cream from the store.
The mask is done like this. One teaspoon of seeds is mixed with a tablespoon of sour cream and left for 10-15 minutes at room temperature. This time is enough for the necessary fermentation to take place.
How much does it cost to keep on your face a mask that includes chia and sour cream? 20 minutes are enough for dry skin. All this time it is advisable to lie or sit in a relaxed state, putting a damp cloth on your face. With relaxed muscles, the process of absorption of toxins occurs especially intensively. After washing off, the skin should be wiped with a tonic and apply a cream with hyaluronic acid. Freed from toxins, it will be renewed and noticeably younger.
A mask containing chia and sour cream for a face with oily teenage skin will be useful if it is also kept for 20 minutes, but after rinsing, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and then rose water or any suitable soothing tonic.
Smoothing mask
Mimic wrinkles are not always a sign of age. They appear even in fairly young women, if their skin is thin and dry. The first wrinkles, until they have turned into deep folds, should be immediately eliminated. At a young age, this succeeds easily. Homemade fat sour cream comes to the rescue. For a face from wrinkles, finding a more effective remedy is quite difficult.
The protein mask, which is most often recommended for tightening flabby skin, is not suitable for a young woman. Her skin needs to be leveled inside. Sour cream penetrates the inner layer of the epidermis and restores the lipid balance of cells. As a result, the skin becomes denser and more elastic.
For dry and sensitive skin
Freshly squeezed aloe juice and sour cream for the face with thin sensitive skin will be good nutrition and hydration. One meaty and juicy leaf of aloe must be cut lengthwise and the pulp scrubbed. Mix it with one tablespoon of sour cream and apply on face for 15-20 minutes. After the specified time, the mask should be washed off with water or a special milk for sensitive skin and apply a moisturizer.
Oatmeal Cleansing Mask
The mask that cleanses all skin types is oatmeal and sour cream. For a person with especially sensitive skin, aloe juice or the flesh of fresh cucumber can be added to it. If you make this mask every day for one to two weeks, then by the end of this period the skin will look incredibly fresh and young. Oatmeal should be chopped in a blender. For one mask, you need half a tablespoon of cereal and sour cream. For a person (reviews of those who used this scrub confirm this) there is no better remedy. Oatmeal with sour cream cleanses, nourishes and moisturizes the skin at the same time. In this case, the epidermis does not dry out.
Flax and sour cream for beauty and elasticity of the skin
Flax seeds, ground in a blender, should be mixed with sour cream to make a homogeneous slurry, and left for about fifteen minutes so that the flax is fermented. This mask cleanses the skin well, drawing out toxins, small solid fractions of flax exfoliate dead skin particles from the surface of the skin, and sour cream whitens it. Flax, like chia, due to the mucous consistency, very well moisturizes the skin at the cellular level.
Pumpkin flour for the destruction of the facial tick
Demodecosis is a serious disease, the treatment of which should be entrusted to a professional dermatologist. However, in pools, beauty salons, public transport, etc., we constantly encounter parasites invisible to the naked eye. Infection with them, especially in the hot summer time, is gaining alarming proportions.
There is a wonderful remedy for most parasites - this is pumpkin seeds. They should be cleaned and ground in a mill. One mask requires half a tablespoon of
pumpkin flour and one tablespoon of sour cream. In order to guarantee a clean and healthy facial skin from microscopic parasites, a course of 7-10 procedures should be taken. The mask should be kept on the face for about 20 minutes, avoiding drying out. After the specified time, it can be washed off. The pillowcase and all bed linen need to be changed - they may contain a source of reinfestation.
Flour from grape and apricot kernel also acts well against various parasitic and fungal skin lesions.
Lifting whitening effect
This mask can be recommended to owners of sluggish skin with unsatisfactory color. The mask contains sour cream, egg white and lemon juice. The protein must be whipped with lemon juice using a mixer. Separate one or two tablespoons of strong foam from this mass, combine with one tablespoon of sour cream and immediately apply to the face, neck and décolleté. The exposure time of the mask is 20 minutes. All this time it is desirable to be at rest - protein tightens the skin, reducing its area. By relaxing the muscles of the face and neck, you will contribute to a more even lifting. Lemon whitens the skin, and sour cream nourishes and adds elasticity.
Black dot scrub
In particular, a scrub made from ground dried coffee and sour cream, which is often used as an exfoliating agent, is significantly inferior to a homemade scrub mask made from sour cream and raw eggshells with lemon juice. For her, you should take a raw egg and wash it with soap. Only a shell is needed for the mask, so the protein and yolk are removed.
The shell is cleaned of the inner film, dried and ground in a mortar with a porcelain pestle to a powder state. This powder in combination with sour cream polishes the skin very well. For each application, it is better to make a new composition - take a pinch of powder and a teaspoon of fresh sour cream. This scrub mask can be filled each time with another new component, for example, a few drops of natural unrefined oil, whole grain flour, seeds or nuts, freshly squeezed juice. Cleansing is performed with light circular movements along the massage lines.
Microflora Yeast
Sour cream mask with brewer's yeast is done before use and depends on the activity of the yeast. For the same reason, it is not procured for the future. A bag of dry yeast should be combined with sour cream and a teaspoon of honey and put in a warm place to activate yeast mushrooms. When the process begins to enter into full force, the mask should be applied to the face and left for 15-20, constantly moisturizing with warm water using a spray. After the specified time, wash off the mask, and wipe the face with tonic and apply cream.
Tramp for smoothing the skin
A mask of oily homemade sour cream with freshwater sponge powder for several procedures significantly improves the color and quality of the skin. However, this procedure should be approached with caution.
Firstly, it can in no case be applied to the area around the eyes, in addition, an initial tolerance test is necessary. The budyagi causes a burning or tingling sensation that does not go away after rinsing and continues to be felt for several hours after removing the mask.
Secondly, it can not be used during the active sun, and after application it is necessary to apply sunscreen to the skin for several days before going outside. Otherwise, there is a risk of new age spots. After washing off the mask, you should leave your face clean, that is, you do not need to apply any creams or tonics. It is most advisable to carry out this procedure in the evening, 4-5 hours before bedtime.
Thirdly, do not make a mask with a badagi more often than once a month.
Badyagi powder should be mixed with sour cream and applied to the face. After 20 minutes rinse with clean water. Tingling is a natural skin reaction. This should not be an obstacle to the procedure. The result is the disappearance of bruises, vascular network, smoothing skin tone, increasing its tone, tightening, and therefore, reducing wrinkles.
This mask is suitable for both young and mature skin. It enhances blood circulation and activates skin regeneration. As a result, such serious problems as flabbiness, unwanted pigmentation, acne scars, etc. are eliminated.
Clay with sour cream
Cosmetic clay has the ability to rejuvenate the skin and improve its structure. Using sour cream as the main ingredient for the mask, add clay suitable for your type once in one to two weeks. The skin will respond by improving tone and the appearance of a natural blush. With the regular use of sour cream masks with clay, there is no need for foundation or other masking agents.
Sour cream - the basis for masks for various purposes
Each woman, considering her reflection in the mirror, must learn to critically evaluate her appearance, noting in time what needs improvement. Sour cream is a very good basis for many masks. It not only acts as a transporter of beneficial substances to the inner layers of the epidermis, but also in itself is a very effective moisturizer and skin whitener.
In combination with ground nuts, such as pine nuts, it delivers valuable vitamins and oils contained in nuts to skin cells. Applying a mask along massage lines, rubbing it with light circular movements and driving in with fingertips is similar to expensive procedures that are done in prestigious beauty salons.
