Smooth, wrinkle-free skin is the dream of many women. Unfortunately, aesthetic medicine can be expensive, so we often look for home solutions that will improve the condition of the skin. A certain simple mask can be extremely useful.
Well-groomed skin must be well cleansed, so before applying an anti-wrinkle mask, exfoliate at home. Freshly ground coffee beans are best for this purpose. Rinse your face with lukewarm water, put ground coffee on your hand and use circular movements to exfoliate and wash your face. Only then apply the mask.
Anti-wrinkle mask. Use gelatin
Gelatin is mainly associated with desserts, but its use can extend beyond the kitchen. An example is a homemade mask, but it is worth noting that this type of product is not recommended for vegetarians and vegans who avoid ingredients of animal origin.
Gelatin is nothing else than a naturally obtained protein obtained from partial hydrolysis of collagen. It is obtained from bones, tendons and animal skins. Gelatin can be used in cosmetics as a natural support in the fight against wrinkles. The peptides it contains also support the fight against acne.
The gelatin mask cleanses pores, strengthens blood vessels and lightens discolorations. It is worth noting that gelatin also contains biotin, which is extremely valuable in the fight against the aging process. Combine gelatin with milk and you will provide the skin with nucleic acids, mineral salts and vitamin K.
Remember, however, that if you have not used gelatin before, it is worth doing an allergy test first to avoid an unpleasant surprise. To do this, apply some mask on the skin of your hands, wait 15 minutes, wash it off and check if your skin is not giving you a signal that something is wrong. If a rash, redness or itching occurs, do not apply the mask to your face.
Gelatin mask. Recipe to get rid of wrinkles
Preparing a homemade rejuvenating mask is extremely simple. Just pour hot milk over gelatin and mix until a uniform consistency is achieved. It is very important to choose gelatin without any artificial additives because we put it on our face.
Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons of gelatin,
- 2 tablespoons of hot milk.
Check whether the gelatin you buy does not require cooking. The best solution is to use a product that simply pour boiling water (water, milk or other decoction) and mix thoroughly until it dissolves completely. Apply the gelatin mixed with milk to your face and leave for about 25 minutes. After this time, wash the mask thoroughly with warm water and apply a delicate moisturizing cream to enhance the effect.
Gelatin is also helpful in the fight against blackheads. To do this, simply combine gelatin with water, apply it all to your face, creating a thin layer on the skin. Wait until it dries completely and then gently remove the mask with your hands. It will peel like a second skin. This way you will cleanse your skin of excess sebum and get rid of unsightly blackheads.
