Recipes for masks for combination skin

Before you share with you recipes for masks for combination skin, it is worth recalling that with this type of facial skin, no one has abolished such a common problem as aging and aging of the epidermis. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account factors such as a decrease in turgor, wrinkles and the appearance of age-related pigmentation. So the "field of activity" for the care of mixed skin is very extensive.

Obviously, you remember how any mask (only on a clean face, on massage lines) is applied, how much is maintained (at least a quarter of an hour) and how it is removed (washed off with lukewarm water and then rinsed with cool water).

Masks for combination skin: cleaning

Fat and dry areas of the face can be well cleaned (and at the same time narrowed the enlarged pores) with a mask based on kaolin (cosmetic clay), for which a tablespoon of dry clay is mixed with a small amount of water or a water infusion of chamomile chemistry - to a state of not very thick sour cream. The mixture is divided into two parts (in separate containers) and 10 drops of fresh lemon or grapefruit juice (this is for oily skin) is added to one part, and in the second part - as much olive oil (this is for dry skin). It remains correct to apply the compounds to the skin without mixing the mixture!

Cleans, refreshes and tightens the pores mask based on whipped egg white, which is also divided into two parts and they add the same ingredients as in the first recipe. Protein mask is applied 2-3 times - over the dried out layer, and washed off with cool water.

Cleansing and simultaneously feeding the basal layer of the epidermis, an oat mask for combination skin can be prepared both from ground "Hercules" and from oatmeal (oatmeal). A tablespoon of dry ingredient can be turned into a gruel by adding whey, lean yogurt, sage broth or plain water. And then half a teaspoon of fine salt (extra) and 3-4 drops of bergamot or tea tree oil are added to the mixture for fatty areas, and half of a teaspoon of olive oil and 3-4 drops of rose oil for the U-zone.

Masks for combination skin: moisturizing

The simplest mask for increasing the moisture of the combined skin consists of two parts of natural liquid honey, one part of the aloe juice and a small amount of wheat flour (for density). From all this, you should also get a creamy mixture. Such masks can be applied to the entire face, but not more than twice a week.

Perfectly moisturize the combined skin of the mask from fresh cottage cheese, which should be slightly diluted with milk or cooled green tea, as well as masks from the pulp of fruit: banana, peach or kiwi. In order to enhance the tonic effect for the skin, prone to increased release of fat, it is recommended to add 4-5 drops of essential oil of ylang ylang or lemon balm, and for dry skin - oils of lavender, jasmine or grape seeds.

One can not ignore the triple use of a simple ancient remedy - a mask from fresh cucumber: first, it moisturizes the skin of any type; second, it feeds it with thiamine (vitamin B1) and riboflavin (vitamin B2); third, it helps to make pigmented stains on the face.

Masks for nutrition of combination skin

Masks for skin nutrition should be done to increase its elasticity and smooth wrinkles, so in the recipes of nutritious masks, honey and eggs are often used. For fatty skin areas, a mixture of one whipped whipped protein with a dessert spoon of liquid honey and the same amount of cornmeal or bran is prepared. For zones with dry or normal skin, you need to mix half of the raw yolk, about a teaspoon of honey and the same amount of vegetable oil (preferably olive or corn); To obtain a thicker consistency, wheat flour is also added.

Sour cream (only qualitative) is also suitable for combination skin, but in order not to "wear out" the skin of the T-zone, cosmetologists advise it to add lemon juice or puree from kiwi.

Yeasts have long established themselves as an effective food for any skin type: fatty skin is beneficially affected by a mixture of baker's yeast with ordinary water or grape juice, on dry - with any vegetable oil or fatty cream, and on a normal one - with warm milk. If you want to quickly improve the complexion, then the mask of rose, neroli, mint or verbena (no more than 4-5 drops) should be added to the mask. And additives such as an oil solution of vitamin E, essential oil of geranium or lavender, will enhance the smoothing effect to wrinkles.
