Home remedies are a worthy alternative to expensive store-bought cosmetics.In terms of price, effectiveness, usefulness, quality and affordability, facial skin rejuvenation at home with home-made products is many times superior to purchased innovative creams and serums.
Basics of making homemade cosmetics
It's easy to create a homemade anti-wrinkle eye cream, scrub or mask.In this case, the preparation process is of great importance:
- You cannot use a kitchen blender, mixer or any metal utensils.This is explained by the property of iron to oxidize, which is why it is a home remedy for wrinkles.Wooden spatulas, spoons, heat-resistant glass, enamelware are what you need.
- Prepared cosmetics must be stored exclusively in glass, tightly closed (screw) containers.
- To accurately determine the required amount of ingredients, you will definitely need a measuring spoon, syringe, pipette and electronic scales.
- Containers for the prepared anti-wrinkle product around the mouth and eyes must be sterile.
- Long-term storage of such cosmetics is not allowed, a maximum of 14 days.Therefore, it is not recommended to prepare a large volume of cream;15-20 ml of the product will be enough.
- Expired or questionable ingredients should not be used.This is not safe for your health!
How to use your own creams
Facial rejuvenation at home is a whole "science", so take it seriously.
Homemade cosmetics differ from those in the store with increased fat content and richness of nutrients, so a portion should be reduced accordingly.Also, reduce their use to 2 times every 7 days.
For oily skin, it is better to prepare gel-based products.They are not so greasy, but require a more careful selection of a high-quality gelling agent.Do not apply homemade cosmetics immediately before going out into the fresh air.It is recommended to do this early in the morning, in the evening or before going to bed (2 hours before).
