Homemade face masks - 4 best recipes

Everyone wants to be beautiful. Someone fanatically serves this idea and uses all kinds of cosmetics, spending huge sums on them. And someone washed up in the morning with some water - and went to conquer the world. These are two extremes, between which you need to try to find a middle ground.

Be sure to take care of your face, neck and hands. And this can be done in a completely budgetary way at home. In this article, I'll write the best face mask recipes that really work.

Many girls know and want to do such procedures at home, but often they do not have enough time or are simply lazy. Therefore, I urge you not to be lazy, but to spend half an hour on yourself, which will then result in hours of pleasure with your face. This is especially true for those who are over 25 years old. It is from this age that you need to start making face masks in order to maintain your youth as long as possible.

Teenagers do not need to do all of these treatments, unless it is about an acne mask that really helps fight them. The recipe for such a mixture is below.

A huge plus of home care is its naturalness. The mask is made fresh every time from natural products. No scary chemistry. And the cost is significantly lower than purchased funds, not to mention salon procedures.

Rules for applying face masks at home.
Before using any homemade mask, you need to cleanse the skin with your cleanser so that the clean pores can absorb all the nutrients. It will also not be superfluous to cleanse with tonic or micellar water.
The masks are applied along the massage lines.
See a visual diagram of how to properly apply something on your face. Most mixtures are not applied to the eye area. To do this, use special tools for this area. This article has the recipes you need.

Cleansing peeling and acne masks
I have a recipe on my website for a charcoal mask for blackheads that is very effective. Therefore, I will not write about it here.

One of the most effective homemade masks that can deeply cleanse the skin, polish it, make it smoother and remove dead cells is aspirin peeling. For cooking, you need only 3 ingredients:

Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) - 1 Tablet
warm water - 0.5 tsp.
honey - 1 tsp (less)
1. Put an aspirin tablet in a small container (it polishes and evens skin tone well). Pour some warm water on top of it, the tablet will begin to dissolve. Stir and add honey. Honey is a good moisturizer + it's a natural antibiotic that kills some bacteria.
2. Stir everything to a mushy consistency and the mask is ready. Fast and easy!
3. Remove all hair from your face. Since this peel is with honey, the hair will become sticky if it gets dirty.
4. This scrub is applied to a wet face, cannot be applied to the area around the eyes. Use your hands to massage the skin a little, exfoliating and removing dead skin cells (you do not need to massage if you are afraid of damage and sprains). Leave the scrub for 10 minutes to work.
5. Thoroughly rinse the mask with warm water, pat your face with a towel. Lubricate your skin with moisturizer and enjoy deep cleansing and smoothness. This procedure can be performed 1-2 times a week. It all depends on your skin condition and age.
6. If there are pimples on your face, then you do not need to massage, just apply the mask and wait for the allotted time. If the skin is damaged, scaly, a slight burning sensation may be felt. This mixture dries out acne well, and they go away faster. Therefore, you can do it for adolescents who have this problem (just do not rub).

Oatmeal & Soda Purifying Mask 
This is just a miracle mask, the effect of which is visible after the first use. Firstly, the pores narrow, acne dries up, after several sessions go away, blackheads are also removed, redness and inflammation go away.

Ingredients:

oatmeal - 1 tbsp.
baking soda - 1 tsp
lemon juice - 1 tsp (replace with kefir for dry and sensitive skin)
1. Oatmeal is not used raw, but steamed. To do this, fill them with a small amount of boiling water for 10-15 minutes. The flakes will swell and absorb water.
2. Add baking soda and lemon juice to the flakes and mix immediately into a smooth paste. Soda and lemon will react, and will begin to sizzle and bubble.
3. Apply the mass onto your face with your hands and hold for 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and brush with moisturizer.

If there are a lot of pimples on your face, apply this mask 2 times a week and your skin will noticeably improve. Very good for teenagers. The face is transformed, the color becomes even.

Sophia Loren's youth mask
Sophia Loren is a famous diva who manages to look great at 80 years old. She shares her secrets in her books. This includes proper nutrition, sports exercises, and cosmetic care. The recipe for one of the masks that can rejuvenate your face is in front of you.

Ingredients:

gelatin - 3 tsp
milk - 50 gr.
honey - 3 tsp
glycerin - 3 tsp
1. Gelatin is a natural collagen. Unfortunately, it cannot cause the skin to produce its own collagen, but it can fill in wrinkles, making the skin smoother. It has some lifting and brightening effect. Pour cold milk over gelatin and leave for at least 1 hour. If you want, you can pour in in the evening, refrigerate (don't forget to cover with a lid), and make a mask in the morning.
2. When the gelatin swells well, there will be a thick mass. Melt it in a water bath for about a minute. The main thing is to stir constantly, not letting the milk boil. If the mixture boils, the gelatin will lose its "magic" properties. For melting, you can use the microwave. Just heat for 10 seconds first and see if the gelatin dissolves. Stir if necessary and heat some more.
3. Put honey and glycerin into the cooled gelatinous mass.
4. Stir everything until smooth. This mixture is applied to a clean face with a brush in three layers. Apply the first coat first, wait for it to dry. Then the second and third layers are applied in the same way. By the way, you can apply it not only to the face, but to the arms, neck, décolleté.
5. The mask should be held for 10 minutes, then soaked in warm water, because the gelatin will dry out and form a film. Wash your face and apply your day cream.

Yeast firming mask

Ingredients:

fresh yeast - 2 tsp with a slide (remove toxins, contain useful amino acids)
warm milk - 6 tsp
honey - 1 tsp (can be replaced with natural yogurt with a pinch of oat bran)
potato starch - 2 tsp with a slide
oil vitamin A - 8 drops
oil vitamin E - 4 drops
Bubble vitamins are available at the pharmacy.

1. Chop the yeast and cover it with warm milk. Let sit for 20 minutes (start is similar to making dough). Milk should be warm, about 35 degrees, not hot.

2. After 20 minutes, the yeast will completely dissolve, the mixture will be quite liquid. Add honey to it and stir thoroughly. Honey cleanses the skin well and tightens it.

3. It remains to bring the mask to the desired consistency. The last to be added is starch, which is just wonderful for tightening the skin. The finished mixture should be easily applied with a brush to the skin. If it comes out very runny, add a little starch.
4. Pipette vitamins A and E into the mask. Vitamin E evens out the skin, vitamin A enhances the formation of its own collagen, prevents the skin from thinning.

5. Apply the mixture with a brush on the face, neck, décolleté, hands. In general, for all problem areas that you want to rejuvenate. The mask is applied in layers. First one layer, let it dry a little (up to 1 minute), then the second layer. And so on up to 5 layers. Keep it on for 15-20 minutes. Do not apply to the area around the eyes and lips!

Do this mask for 10-14 days in a row, and then once a week will be enough. If necessary, the course can be repeated after 6 months.
