We present to your attention cleansing face masks that allow you to maintain your skin in a healthy and radiant state.
When is face cleansing necessary?
The modern rhythm of life, alas, is extremely detrimental to the condition of the skin. Constant stress, fast food, a huge amount of caffeine, and sometimes even nicotine contribute to poor health. This can not but affect the face, the pores of which immediately become more visible, fat and dirt accumulate in them, and the complexion acquires a grayish tint. The environment is no less detrimental to the skin. The smoke of factories, the dust of roads, the exhaust gases of cars and places with a large crowd of people only add tar to this boiler. Correct the situation will allow the regular use of facial cleansing masks. Some of them are sold in salons and shops, and there are some that can be prepared at home. Are homemade recipes effective? Most of them have homeopathic properties. This means that masks that cleanse the skin of the face must be done regularly, adhering to a certain course. It is also necessary to combine a similar procedure with other methods of cleansing pores and try to adhere to the regime of the day and nutrition.
What are the masks?
Each person is incredibly individual. Unique is its dermis, which needs proper and appropriate care. Homemade facial masks that cleanse the pores must be selected based on the type and structure of the skin, and carefully monitor how the body responds to the external use of a product. For example, dry skin is cleaned only with oils that soften and nourish vitamins at the same time. For a combined dermis, two recipes are selected at the same time, which are superimposed zonally. Oily skin is not recommended to be cleaned with alcohol, but oil in this case should be excluded. In a word, it is worth considering many nuances before choosing the right face cleansing mask that will meet your expectations.
Application Secrets
Preparing a facial cleansing mask at home is simple, but to achieve the maximum effect, you will need to carry out the so-called preparation for the process and correctly complete it.
- Before applying the mask, it is recommended to cleanse the skin in a different way. To do this, you need to prepare a decoction of chamomile and linden flowers (you can take any pharmacy collection) and, while it's hot, sit over it, covered with a towel. Black spots can be removed from the opened pores using a special tool to remove blackheads. After this, you can begin to apply the composition.
- Immediately after the procedure, the skin must be moisturized. To do this, you can use either oil (olive, peach, macadamia, coconut or another), or a cream suitable for your skin type.
- Facial cleansing masks are made 1-2 times a week for two months. After this, a break follows - a month, and the course is repeated again.
Now it's time to study in detail the recipes of face masks that cleanse the pores, which are prepared on the basis of a wide variety of products. Their belonging to one or another type of skin depends on this.
Mask for dry skin
Contaminated pores on the skin, which is incredibly thin and constantly peeling, is a real disaster. To clean it means to dry it out even more and subject it to more peeling and itching. How to be? It's great that now everyone can afford to buy almond oil in a pharmacy and nuts of that same almond in a supermarket. It is these two products that underpin the cleansing of dry and thin skin. This facial cleansing mask from black dots and other minor irregularities is prepared as follows. A handful of nuts are ground in a coffee grinder to a state of soft flour. A tablespoon of almond oil is added to them, the mixture is thoroughly mixed and applied to the face with massage movements. You should not just keep the mask - you need to constantly massage it, rub it into the skin. Massage can last from 10 to 20 minutes, after which the mixture is washed off with slightly warm water.
Mask for oily skin
This recipe is best used after you have thoroughly cleansed your entire face. You steamed the skin, squeezed out all the blackheads and black dots, made a light scrub and then degreased it with lotion or a light alcohol infusion. Now apply a mask to the face. It will take half the raw potatoes to grate, so that it turns into slurry. Then mix it with the juice of half a lemon and apply it in layers on the face. In order for the mask not to "slip", you can fix it with gauze or bandages from above. Remove this gruel after 15 minutes and wash with warm water. After such a mask, you need to apply a light, moisturizing cream to the skin.
Based on flour ...
This product, as it turned out, is incredibly versatile not only in cooking. It serves as the basis for the preparation of numerous face cleansing masks at home, it is important only to choose the auxiliary components correctly. So, if the skin is normal, and you just need to clean it for prevention, then we mix the flour and mineral water in equal proportions and rub it into the face with massaging movements. Massaging for several minutes, leave the mask for 15-20 minutes and rinse with warm water. When the skin is oily or combination, it is recommended to replace wheat flour with rice flour (it can be made at home with the help of rice grits and coffee grinders). Instead of water, lemon juice or cucumber is used. It will also be great if you add egg white to the mixture. When the skin is dry, oatmeal is taken as the basis. It is mixed in equal amounts with butter or milk and one egg yolk is added to this pulp.
Vitamin mask
To cleanse the skin and at the same time nourish it with a huge amount of vitamins? It is quite real. Moreover, the recipe is suitable for almost all types of skin (except dry). If you are looking for a non-standard and very effective mask that cleanses the pores of the face at home, then you have found it. You will need to peel one orange, grate its peel on a fine grater, add two tablespoons of semolina and a little water to it to form a thick slurry. It should be infused for about 15 minutes, after which it should be mixed and slightly warmed up in the microwave. On pre-cleaned skin, apply this mixture for 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water. The mask not only perfectly cleanses the face and removes grease and dirt from the pores. She literally “lays” vitamins and minerals in them. Therefore, this recipe is recommended to be used once a week, and you will never have to worry about the condition of the skin again.
Clay Gifts
Natural clay is the oldest and most effective recipe in the fight against skin problems and even its aging. The most interesting thing is that such a deeply cleansing face mask is worth a penny and is prepared in the blink of an eye. One teaspoon of the powder should be poured with water so that a thick slurry is obtained. We apply this gruel on the face and leave until completely dry. However, it is important to remember that each type of skin has its own clay. If the dermis is prone to acne, blackheads and other imperfections, it is recommended to use white or black clay. With oily skin, which does not have pronounced shortcomings, it is recommended to use green clay. It normalizes the sebaceous glands and reduces the degree of oily sheen. Dry skin needs additional nourishment, and red and pink clay compounds can provide it. And if you want to clean slightly aged or withered skin, then either yellow or blue clay is used.
Film masks
Such funds are considered very effective in combating a rash on the face, and in case the skin has become dull and sluggish. There are many recipes for making film masks, and almost all of them are effective. But we will consider the two most effective ones that have established themselves both among young people and among older women.
- The first mask is universal, suitable for all skin types and produces a general effect. To prepare it, take a tablespoon of gelatin and dissolve it in half a glass of water. We put this mixture in a water bath until the powder is completely dissolved, and when it becomes homogeneous, remove and cool. Apply the mask to the face with a brush or spatula. After it dries, we pull it layer by layer.
- There is also a home analogue of the famous black face cleansing mask, which is no less effective. You will need to grind two tablets of activated carbon into powder, add two teaspoons of gelatin, pour the mixture with half a glass of milk and send to a water bath. After this, the mask cools and is applied to the face with a brush. It is also necessary to remove it after complete drying, tearing the film from the skin.
Oatmeal Cleansing
Oatmeal is not just a great breakfast cereal. On its basis, the most effective products are prepared that cleanse the face and make it not only fresh, but also velvety. There is an incredibly simple recipe for making a mask, which can also be used as a scrub. To do this, grind a handful of oatmeal in a coffee grinder, fill it with water so that a thick slurry is obtained, and apply on the face for 20 minutes. Oatmeal will perfectly narrow the pores, give the skin a matte shine and eliminate redness. Also, this mask can be adapted to dry or oily skin. In the first case, add the egg yolk and one teaspoon of oil to the gruel. When the skin is oily, it is necessary to mix oatmeal with protein and with lemon juice. Another option is to use milk instead of water. It simultaneously nourishes the skin and cleanses it more deeply.
Herbal recipes
Facial masks, cleansing pores, prepared on the basis of herbs, have been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years. You just need to remember which herbs are right for your skin type in order to prepare the most effective composition. For dry dermis, linden flowers, chamomile, rose petals, rose hips or mint are most often taken. For oily skin, coltsfoot, horsetail, sage, millennia or St. John's wort are suitable. To make a mask, you need a small amount of one herb or collection to boil in half a glass of water. Then we take the herbs, wrap them in gauze and squeeze the liquid out of them. Put the prepared gruel on the face and hold for about 20 minutes. After this time, remove the herbs from the face and wash with cool water.
