Cheap and cool: 3 homemade face masks

Despite the huge selection of ready-made face masks in stores, many still prefer home-tested products over the years. Why? Firstly, hand-made masks are sometimes much more effective than purchased ones. And secondly, you know exactly what you apply to the face, because you selected and mixed all the ingredients yourself.

Soda mask
Mom told me about this mask. Even during her youth, she struggled with skin imperfections using the unique cleansing and scrubbing properties of soda. The course of application of such a mask is from one to three months.

Recipe: 1 teaspoon of soda and warm honey must be mixed to make a plastic mass. Hold on face for 20 minutes, then rinse with water. If you want to add the effect of lightening the skin, you can add one or two drops of lemon juice. Please note that this mask is not suitable for those who are allergic to honey. And with caution, it should be used by owners of thin, dry and sensitive skin.

Effect: the mask cleanses well, removes excess fat, relieves inflammation, relieves acne and acne, tightens pores, improves complexion, promotes cell regeneration and rejuvenation.

Important! Honey must be just warm! When heated above 45 ° C, it loses all its useful properties, moreover, it becomes carcinogenic.

Egg mask

Another recipe from my Siberian past. Such a mask perfectly replaces modern film masks, and the effect of it is noticeable after the first application.

Recipe: you need to break the egg, separate the protein from the yolk and apply the protein to the entire face (avoiding the eye area with the most delicate skin). Keep 15-20 minutes, then rinse with cool water. Since protein has constricting properties, this remedy is not suitable for women who have dry or irritated skin.

Effect: the mask removes oily sheen, narrows the enlarged pores, helps get rid of comedones, makes the skin supple, toned and velvety, dries up inflammation.

Toothpaste mask
At home, you can make masks for all skin types and get rid of many problems. An excellent remedy for acne is a mask of toothpaste.

Recipe: any toothpaste should be applied evenly on the face with a thick layer, and it does not matter on wet or dry (avoid the area around the eyes!), Leave for 3 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. The mask is not suitable for sensitive skin and in case of allergic reactions to the components of the toothpaste.

Effect: the mask heals, cleanses and restores the skin, effectively fights acne, removes black spots, makes the face young and toned.

Important! Use this mask can be no more than 1 time per week. You can enhance the cleansing effect if you carefully massage your face with a soft brush after applying the paste.
