Gelatin face mask recipes at home

In the women's beauty forums, the literally incredible effect of a gelatinous face mask is often discussed today. Judging by the reviews, the product gives a lasting effect, visually tightens the face, eliminates grooves, acne and black blotches. Moreover, the girls got used to using the product for hair beauty, weight loss and even prepare face creams with gelatin from wrinkles.

Adhesive texture: gelatin “pulls” dirt from the pores

Why is this substance so popular in home cosmetology? It is important to understand the "etymology" of the product. Bags with the words "Gelatin" are in almost every home. Women use it in cooking: for preparing jellied dishes, jelly. The product is most often sold in powder form, which is then diluted with water. In finished form, it acquires a thick, sticky consistency.

Now imagine that such a “jelly” freezes not on a plate, but on the skin of your face. A strong mask-film is formed, the active ingredients of which will come into deep contact with the dermis. That is why a face mask with gelatin, milk and activated carbon is considered one of the most effective means against blackheads in the “T” zone. When removed, it literally “pulls” all the dirt from the pores.

Powder collagen

This is with regard to the unusual texture of the substance. Now about the "content". Gelatin has a solid “portfolio” of useful components. Here and calcium with phosphorus, and iron with sodium, and potassium with magnesium.

By making a gelatin mask, you are essentially applying “new cells”. Gelatin made from the skin and bones of animals and fish is a mixture of protein tissues. Essentially, split collagen. What you need to know about collagen?

According to cosmetologists, who often recommend anti-aging products with collagen to customers, this protein stimulates tissue renewal processes. Over the years, the human body produces less collagen, which leads to skin aging.

When in contact with dermis, gelatin compensates for this deficiency, stimulates cell growth and eliminates deep grooves. Plus, this protein has the amino acids hydroxyproline and proline necessary for tissue elasticity.

Experienced tips: how to use and flush

The jelly cleansing mask has long been known to everyone, but not everyone has tried it.I must say that gelatin masks are not the easiest to perform. But lovers of home beauty treatments say the result is worth the effort. The main thing is to “fill your hand” and adhere to the rules for the preparation, application and removal of gelatin mixtures.

1. How to make gelatin. Simply extracting the powder from the sachet and mixing with the rest of the components will not work. Gelatin needs to be "insisted" and "languished" for a couple. So, you should pour the substance into the bowl and fill it with water. You can use milk, juice, water, a decoction of herbs. The main thing is that the amount of liquid is an order of magnitude greater than the amount of powder: somewhere four to seven times. Gelatin must completely absorb the water. It takes about half an hour. Then the swollen gelatin is heated in a water bath until liquid. After the contents of the bowls are cooled to a temperature that will be acceptable for contact with the skin of the face.
2. How to apply a gelatin mask and how long to keep the mask. Before the procedure, you must always hide your hair under a hat or headscarf, as gelatin can literally stick to your hairstyle. Next, the mask is applied using a special cosmetic brush, distributing on problem areas or throughout the face. It is advisable to lie down during the mask, so it is good if you have an assistant. Avoid getting the mixture on the eyebrows and eyelashes, the skin around the eyes.
3. How to wash off a gelatin mask. Only the “Velcro” mask against the black dots needs to be removed in a frozen form, pulling from the chin to the forehead. All other gelatine mixes should literally be “melted”. To do this, you can use heated water, a herbal decoction. You can just wash yourself. Another option is to dip into a basin with warm liquid until the mask melts. Also, the mask will be washed off if you apply a wet, warm towel, and then rub the skin with a soft washcloth.

Anti-wrinkle gelatin cream with starch-free glycerin

Some masks with gelatin are to be stored and the mixture can be prepared more than once. A gelatin cream against wrinkles, created at home, can be used even for a month. To do this, you need to keep it in the refrigerator and slightly “warm up” on the fingertip before applying.

The recipe for such a cream is simple, and the result is usually pleasing. To make a gelatin anti-aging ointment, you need to prepare a container. You can take a glass jar from under baby food with a lid. It must be doused with boiling water.

Next, mix the components in the container:

• a teaspoon of dried gelatin;
• three tablespoons of honey;
• 1/5 teaspoon salicylic acid;
• ½ cup glycerin and purified water.

The mixture of components is kept in a bath, but not boiled. After the ingredients have dissolved, the resulting product is stirred, cooled and sent to thicken in the cold.
Face, neck, décolleté and hands are smeared with cream. After half an hour, it needs to be washed off, since the gelatin base will not allow it to absorb, as the industrial composition would absorb.
