Natural masks at home: natural masks – home face care and natural hair masks
But all the delights of autumn can be preserved, conserved, both literally and figuratively! And this applies not only to home-made preparations for the winter. The gifts of autumn are perfect for once again taking care of your beauty and preparing cosmetics at home.
Natural face and hair masks
The sun, the sea and a lot of fresh air have a good effect on our well-being, but not in the best way affect the skin and hair. As a result, in the fall, many women look with sadness at brittle and split ends, skin aged from sunburn and rough hands. An additional nuisance is that autumn, with its endless rain and cold, does nothing to improve the appearance.
In any beauty salon, a cosmetologist, of course, will help you choose the necessary funds and carry out all the necessary procedures, but this requires a fair amount of investment and a fairly large amount of time. Therefore, at the same time as consulting a specialist, you can simply look at the market. Everything you need is there, just put your hands on it! Natural masks can be prepared independently. For example, everyone knows that fresh cucumber slices, applied to the eyes for 20 minutes, relieve swelling under the eyes, relieve dark circles and tighten the skin. Rumor attributes this recipe to Cleopatra herself!
But the benefits of cucumber do not end there. Fresh cucumber peel, applied to the skin for 15-20 minutes, helps to get rid of age spots, and a cucumber ground into porridge with a few drops of lemon juice is a good nourishing mask. A mixture of cucumber and cabbage juice, applied to the scalp for half an hour before using shampoo, makes the hairstyle lush and voluminous. And if the hair is too oily, after washing it is enough to rinse it with the pulp of a ripe tomato, and then with cool water.
Natural masks at home
Recipes for natural masks at home for hands and face look so appetizing that they don't want to be applied to the skin, but just eat right away!
Apple and honey face mask
For a moisturizing apple face mask, mix half a finely grated apple, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (preferably olive oil, extra virgin) and 1 egg yolk. Apply to the skin, after 15 minutes, remove with a dry swab and rinse your face with water. An apple and honey face mask will restore freshness and youth to your skin.
Mix the persimmon pulp mashed into gruel in equal amounts with cream and egg yolk (for oily skin with egg white) and apply on the face for 15 minutes. Remove with a cotton swab dipped in warm water, then rinse the skin with cool water. This mask whitens and tones the face. A similar effect has an apple and honey face mask.
Do not apply natural face masks with your hands! For this, there are special wooden spatula-spatulas.
Home Facial
For an anti-aging mask, use the pulp of one sweet pepper mixed with 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of milk and 1 tablespoon of oatmeal. Wash off the mask with warm water 15 minutes after application.
Home facials are very important all year round, so don't forget to stock up on homemade beauty products. To make a supply of vegetable and fruit raw materials for masks for the winter, the necessary fruits must be peeled, chopped, mixed with vegetable oil (1 teaspoon of oil per glass of pulp) and put in plastic bags in the freezer. The resulting ice can be used to wipe the skin in the morning, or after thawing it can be used to create masks.
Hair and hands are the hallmark of any woman
“Hands should look like they want to be kissed!" says folk wisdom. And for this you need to mix equal amounts of olive oil and apple juice every evening. Then apply the resulting composition on your hands and put on cotton gloves for 30-40 minutes. This will relieve the skin of the hands from excessive dryness, make it smooth and elastic.
If you add to this a weekly mask of carrots or raspberries (you can take frozen), then the skin of the hands will simply shine!
To prepare a carrot mask, you need to grind large boiled carrots, mix the resulting mass with 2 teaspoons of cream, apply the mask on your hands and rinse with warm water after 20 minutes.
A raspberry mask is made from a handful of berries mashed with 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of sour cream. It is also applied to the hands and washed off after 20 minutes with warm water.
Natural hair masks
There are a lot of hair masks. For the treatment of brittle hair, it is recommended to mix the pulp of a ripe banana with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, apply all this on the hair and rinse with warm water after half an hour. Repeat the mask every 5 days.
For frequently occurring “mixed” hair (oily at the roots and dry at the tips), a mask of two ripe peaches mashed into a pulp, mixed with 3 tablespoons of milk or kefir, is well suited. After half an hour, this mask can be washed off with warm water and washed with shampoo.
There are also universal natural hair masks suitable for all types of hair. The most famous among them is onion. One egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of honey, juice from 2 medium onions and 1 tablespoon of brandy (1 teaspoon of lemon juice can be used instead) are applied to the hair and washed off with shampoo after half an hour. This mask can be done 1-2 times a week, it strengthens the hair well and gives it shine.
