At all times, the woman sought to look stunning. Some representatives of the fair sex are ready to make many sacrifices in order to delay their youth. After all, youth is a subjective category. She is not in the number of years lived. This is the combined sensation of the soul and the actual state of the skin. And, it turns out, there is absolutely no need to pay crazy money in elite specialized salons to raise the tone of your skin. It can be done at home, in a comfortable environment, using old and new grandmother's recipes. One of these can be a mask of starch for the face, which helps to maintain beauty and prolong youth, knowing the fair sex representatives, already for more than one decade.

High nutritional - septic properties of starch have been known for a long time, but only in recent years, facial masks from the starch, due to their quick efficiency and accessibility, become very popular. All new and new representatives of the fair sex discover the most ordinary starch from potatoes. He shows an excellent result in the fight with his losing fresh skin and wrinkles - marks of past years.
Some respondents are ready to agree that the use of a mask from starch for skin is identified with the newfangled by today Botox injections. Such parallels are, of course, an exaggeration, but there is a rational grain in the utterance. Masks and scrubs with the use of starch make the skin more silky and elastic, fine wrinkles are smoothed, making the skin supple and youthful. Many cosmetics of the world's leading brands, sometimes, are not able to boast such a result, which provides an inexpensive food product.
Starch is one of the few home remedies that can be used to improve the resistance of the epidermis to any type of skin. Such efficiency is possible due to the composition. In starch you can find:
- Vitamin C is one of the main components of youthful skin, the strongest antioxidant and immunostimulant.
- Vitamins belonging to group B - a sufficient number of them provokes increased production of elastane, which is involved in the regeneration of young cells of the epithelium.

The advantage of scrubs and masks based on conventional potato starch is that the result of the procedure can be seen after the first use. The skin becomes tender and pleasant when touched. Enough a small course to disappear minor mimic folds, and the shade became smooth and healthy, the pigmented spots left.
