Home remedies are a valuable alternative to expensive store-bought cosmetics.In terms of cost, effectiveness, usefulness, quality and accessibility, facial skin rejuvenation at home with homemade products is many times superior to purchased innovative creams and serums.
Basic concepts of making homemade cosmetics.
It's easy to create a homemade anti-wrinkle eye cream, scrub, or mask.In this matter, the preparation process is of great importance:
- Kitchen mixers, blenders or any metal utensils cannot be used.This is explained by the property of iron to oxidize, making it a home remedy for wrinkles.What you need are wooden spatulas, spoons, heat-resistant glass and enameled dishes.
- Prepared cosmetic products should be stored exclusively in tightly closed (threaded) glass containers.
- To accurately determine the required amount of ingredients, you will definitely need a measuring spoon, a syringe, a pipette and an electronic scale.
- The containers for the anti-wrinkle product prepared around the mouth and eyes must be sterilized.
- Long-term storage of such cosmetics is not allowed, maximum 14 days.Therefore, it is not advisable 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 “science”, so take it seriously.
Homemade cosmetics differ from those purchased in stores by their higher fat content and richness in nutrients, so it is advisable to reduce a serving accordingly.Also, reduce its use to 2 times every 7 days.
For oily skin, it is better to prepare gel-based products.They are not as greasy, but require more careful selection of a high-quality gelling agent.Do not apply homemade cosmetics immediately before going outdoors.It is recommended to do it early in the morning, at night or before going to bed (2 hours before).
