Gelatin face mask for skin firmness
Gelatin is known in cosmetology for its property of toning and tightening the skin. It also contains protein, which evens out the complexion and heals inflammation. Gelatin has a particularly good effect on aging skin, helping such skin maintain tone and minimize wrinkles.
Gelatin is a wonderful alternative to expensive creams and cleansing products. Fans of healthy organic cosmetics successfully replace store-bought tightening face masks with homemade ones, introducing gelatin into them as a mandatory component.
Homemade face masks do not require large financial and time costs, and in terms of effectiveness they are not inferior to professional products. Not only masks are prepared using gelatin, but also peels and scrubs.
Preparing gelatin
Before use for cosmetic purposes, gelatin must be properly prepared. Powder (granules or grains) of food-grade gelatin is poured over with liquid (water, milk, juice) in an amount 5-8 times greater than the amount of gelatin. After the powder absorbs all the water, the dish with gelatin is placed in a water bath until a homogeneous liquid forms. And then the rest of the mask ingredients are added to this liquid.
If gelatin in the form of sheets is used, then 2-3 sheets (this is approximately 1 teaspoon of powder) are soaked in cold water for 10 minutes, after which they are wrung out well and placed over low heat without adding water. The very quickly swollen gelatin sheets turn into a liquid state.
Gelatin face masks
Peel-off mask with wheat germ oil
To prepare this mask you will need gelatin, egg white, starch, and wheat germ oil, which is sold in pharmacies. Mix one egg white with a teaspoon of starch and whisk thoroughly. Separately dissolve two teaspoons of gelatin in hot water. You can heat the water with gelatin in a water bath - this way it will be more reliable and faster. When the gelatin dissolves, leave it to cool a little.
After this, you need to mix the whisked egg white with starch and the dissolved gelatin, adding 15 drops of wheat germ oil. The mask is applied to a clean face and kept until it dries and turns into a film that can be easily removed. Rinse the face with warm water. To get rid of the tightening effect, which can last up to two hours, be sure to apply a moisturizing cream to the face.
This mask is made once a week, and the result of its use will be excellent skin cleansing without mechanical intervention. The egg white draws dirt out of the skin, perfectly narrows the pores, making them invisible; the starch and wheat oil saturate the skin with nutrients and soften the effect of the egg white, while the gelatin evens out the complexion and, by strengthening the epidermis, fights wrinkles.
Mask with salt and soda
In the composition of this mask, gelatin helps perform a tough peel. Sea salt and baking soda are widely used as a tough scrub, and to soften the procedure, soft and nourishing gelatin is added.
A portion of gelatin is dissolved in hot water. Crushed salt is mixed with soda and dissolved gelatin. Due to the strong viscosity of the gelatin, the salt practically does not dissolve; the gelatin merely envelops the salt particles.
The mask is applied to a steamed face and you begin to massage. Special attention should be paid to areas with blackheads or enlarged pores. You need to massage the face for no more than two minutes, then leave the mask on the face for another two minutes. Rinse off with warm water and be sure to apply a nourishing cream to the face.
The procedure is carried out once every two weeks; if the skin is very problematic, you can do this mask once a week. After several such masks, the skin looks much cleaner and healthier, acquiring a beautiful even color.
Oriental face mask
This recipe came to us from the East, where women have long known how to take care of themselves. To prepare the oriental mask, dissolved gelatin is mixed with hot cream, 3 drops of tea tree oil and 1-2 spoons of thoroughly boiled oatmeal flakes are added. The mass is cooled to human body temperature and applied to skin cleansed with a scrub.
This mask can be used twice a week. If the skin is too problematic, it's better to replace the heavy cream with regular milk.
