Creams for the face at home: cooking recipes

The cosmetic industry works continuously to make people look younger and more perfect than they really are. This noble goal is devoted to the efforts of scientists, pharmacists, cosmetologists. Every day new, more effective means are created. Nevertheless, some women remain faithful to a long-standing good tradition: to make cosmetics, in particular, home face creams, with their own hands. Is this approach justified?

Indications of the home face creams

• Recipes for face creams at home can use or create any woman. The main thing is to work with quality raw materials, dishes, tools.

For storage, jars of glass or hard plastic are needed, and wooden blades are used for mixing. Why can not metal? The fact that he oxidizes the cream even in the process of preparation, causes a repulsive smell and leads to the loss of useful properties.

In work, medical syringes, pipettes, a measuring spoon will be useful to measure the ingredients in drops or small volumes.

Creative people make adjustments to recipes, because fantasy in any work is not superfluous. But changing the composition can not be unlimited. For example, only the same components (oils, decoctions, vitamins) are subject to replacement, the basis can not be replaced, otherwise the result will be something indigestible and mutually exclusive.

With oily and problematic skin, it is recommended to take as a basis protein, yolk, gelatin, glycerin; when dry and problematic - cream, butter, paraffin, wax.

The home cream is stored for about 2 weeks, then it breaks and spoils. The optimum portion for this period is up to 20 ml.

Use special utensils and quality ingredients for cooking.

Alternate portions of creams with different properties: a week apply moisturizing, the second - lifting, etc.

Home face cream for combination skin

The normal amount of active ingredients in home face creams is up to 7%. With oily skin it is yeast, extracts of ginger, hops; when dry and sensitive - propolis, vitamin E, lime extracts, pumpkin seeds, pion tincture.

The manufacture of a home face cream for combination skin requires compliance with the technology, and the first portion is made minimal enough to suffice only for an allergic test. It is carried out on the wrist or elbow fold, where the skin is thin, sensitive and reacts quickly to irritating components.

Often such recipes use dried chamomile flowers. They make infusion (stuffed with boiling water, the raw materials are kept for 15 minutes in a water bath), which after filtering is mixed with honey and glycerin (for 4 tablespoons of infusion - 1 teaspoon of remaining substances). Adjust to homogeneity.

The second part of the components is also prepared in the bath. Melted in a spoonful of cream and olive oil, add the beaten yolk and a spoonful of camphor oil to the cooled mass. In the end, everything is connected.

Basis for a home face cream

Home-made face creams are prepared from food, pharmacy, aromatic natural ingredients, according to various recipes and methods. They are selected depending on the type and age of the skin, the presence of problems that need to be solved with the help of home cosmetics.

The basis for a home face cream can be oil and water. In particular, they use cosmetic oils, various water, including pink, and decoctions.

Cosmetic oils (grape seed, apricot, almond) are considered to be an easy universal base.

Sea-buckthorn and jojoba oil are classified as special bases; they are distinguished by a characteristic smell and bright color.

As a basis for home face creams are recommended:

• with oily skin - thistle oil, corn, peach, almond, watermelon, hazelnut;
• when dry - olive, shea, apricot, peach, sesame, coconut;
• with sensitive - pink, lemon, pink, burdock, sea buckthorn.

Water, in various forms, occupies 60% of the composition of the cream. It can be distilled, mineral, boiled, floral water, infusions of various herbs. It is important to remember that clean water prolongs the shelf life, and useful decoctions improve the effectiveness of home face creams.

If the basis for taking a mixture of oil and water, then without binding components can not do. They should not be more than 2% in the formula.

Such emankers are emulsifiers, the choice of which depends on the type of skin for which the cream is prepared. Substances are bought in pharmacies or special stores, they are in the form of powder, granules, plates.

Regarding essential oils, there are disagreements. Adherents of fragrant home remedies advocate their use as a basis, opponents warn against possible allergic reactions and other undesirable consequences. If you still use aromatic oils, then not more than 10 drops per 100 g of the finished product. And only at the last stage, when cooling down.

Anti-aging face cream at home

Adherents of natural cosmetics know dozens of ways to put off old age, including with the help of home face creams. And strongly recommend the rest of the female audience to prepare rejuvenating face creams at home.

The advantages of such cosmetics are obvious. It is cheaper than ready-made products from stores, often more efficiently than salon treatments, always fresh and without the extra ingredients added by manufacturers for flavor, preservation, presentation and other commercial properties.

Homemade face cream with vitamins

Vitamins E, A and C are the favorite ingredients of home face creams, and are found in most popular recipes. Why - it's not a secret: these substances have the best effect on the skin. Their shortage is felt by the skin first and reacts by loss of a healthy appearance, dryness, flabbiness, dermatitis and other problems.

There are two ways of replenishing the vitamin reserve: ingestion of vitamin complexes, vegetables-fruits and local nutrition outside. In particular, special home face creams with vitamins.

Vitamin A regulates the secretion of sweat and sebum, accelerates the recovery of cells, prevents wilting. About the lack of substance signal such symptoms:

• dryness;
• subtlety;
• peeling;
• rash.

Vitamin E strengthens the capillaries, supports the muscle fibers, prevents aging, so it enters the formulas of most creams. With dry skin, it regulates the balance of moisture, with oily - it has anti-inflammatory effect, prevents acne.

Vitamin C, that is ascorbic acid, protects and restores the skin of the face. It stimulates the formation of collagen, strengthens blood vessels, accelerates the healing of wounds. Prepared home cream with vitamins should be kept closed in dark containers, as light and air destroy vitamin C.

No less important for health and blooming species are other vitamins: D, K, PP, B group. To saturate the body with these substances, it is necessary to combine a balanced diet, quality cosmetics and a healthy lifestyle.

Home cream after 50

The main task, which is performed by home face creams after 50, is rejuvenation. It is on this result that women of this beautiful age orient themselves, choosing the ingredients for the preparation of a home face cream.

In addition to rejecting hard water and soap, proper nutrition and lifestyle, rejuvenation requires:

• intensive moistening, inside and out;
• soft means for washing;
• saturation with antioxidants;
• protection from ultraviolet radiation.

Among women of mature age, natural face masks are popular. They increase elasticity and elasticity, reduce the number and depth of wrinkles - provided the procedures are regular.

Usually, home-made recipes use available products and preparations: vegetables, fruits, dairy products, oils, medicinal plants. Simple home face masks:

• potato

Boiled in a uniform bulb kneaded with milk, the yolk is added to the cooled mixture. Formed gruel is distributed over the face of the warmed, including in the eye zone. The heat effect will increase if a hot napkin is applied from above.

• Cucumber

Wipe fresh vegetable on grater, wrap in cloth and attach to face.

• oil

Spread a tablespoon of butter with the yolk, add a spoonful of honey and fruit puree (apple, plum).

These masks do not take much time, while they are able to effectively rejuvenate and refresh the skin, increase the self-esteem and mood of a woman.

Home cream with gelatin for face

Gelatin - a natural source of collagen; depends on it elasticity, elasticity, and ultimately - youthful skin. At its or his shortage the skin loses elasticity and withers. Lovers of home face creams gladly use this substance in their recipes, since it is believed that gelatin is able to even even deep wrinkles.

For this purpose, it is easiest to use gelatin masks, when a gel-like mass is applied to the face for half an hour, allowing it to be absorbed into the skin. The residues are removed with cotton wool and washed off with water.

Home cream with gelatin for the face acts somewhat differently, since it has a prolonging anti-aging effect. In addition to gelatin, the recipe includes honey, glycerin, salicylic acid.

Sequencing:

• 1 tbsp. L. Gelatin fill for swelling a glass of mineral water.
• Do not stop stirring, dissolve on fire.
• After cooling to +25 add 4 tablespoons of liquid honey.

The recipe is considered basic and can be improved depending on the skin type or individual needs. Apply the cream at bedtime for 20 minutes, the remnants are removed with a napkin.

Home face lifting cream

Lifting creams are designed to slow the process of withering the skin. They start to be used after about 35 years, when wrinkles appear, sagging and a second chin are formed, as the skin by this time loses the ability to produce collagen in sufficient quantities. Lifting cosmetics is diverse and often quite expensive.

• Home cream-lifting for the face can be not so productive, as expensive industrial. The advantage of home cosmetics in the other - environmental friendliness, naturalness, safety; it does not cause allergies and side effects. Active ingredients of such creams are berries, oils, bee products, vegetable raw materials.

One of the recipes is based on the fruits of sea-buckthorn. 3 tablespoons of scalded berries beaten blender on a mash, add 1 tsp. Royal jelly and grape seed oil, finally - by ampulla retinol and tocopherol.

A very simple method of lifting is to prepare an iodine mixture. 3 drops of the drug is combined with a mixture of liquid honey, unpeeled olive oil and petrolatum in a ratio of 1: 2: 2.

A more complex cocoa cream is prepared for night use. First, a mashed potato from a lemon zest is poured with a glass of thawed water; After 7 hours to 50 ml of the resulting lemon water add a spoonful of olive oil and a teaspoon - fresh lemon juice. Then mix 2 tbsp. Spoons of cream of high fat content, 10 ml of cologne, 20 g of pink petals. All together they are blown together.

Homemade face cream with glycerin

Glycerin is a chemical alcohol with a sweetish taste and odorless. The predominant majority of hand and face creams contain it in its composition. The main property of cosmetics with glycerin is the ability to moisturize the skin, because it absorbs water.

However, this property is like a double-edged sword: absorbing moisture from the air, glycerin saturates the skin; With a lack of moisture in the environment, on the contrary, it switches to the skin and pulls it out of the deep layers, causing dryness. This feature is important to consider, making a home face cream with glycerin.

In addition to moisturizing, home-based glycerine-based face creams smooth the folds and protect them from dirt, germs and external factors - using a film formed at the application site. They have no contraindications, do not cause reactions, are suitable for all skin types.

The addition of vitamin E enhances the useful qualities of the glycerin preparation, because experts consider it to be a vitamin of youth. With a shortage of indicated components, the skin quickly flabbles, fades and grows old.

• The simplest way to combine glycerol and vitamin E is to mix 10 ampules of vitamin with 25 g of glycerin. The mixture is applied before going to sleep, on a relaxed face, stand for 45 minutes and, without washing, and excess is removed with a napkin. A week course of such procedures can pleasantly surprise a woman with positive changes in her skin.

The only "but": glycerin home creams for the face can not be used in the winter when heaters work and work in the rooms. The same happens in a hot dry climate. In such conditions, cosmetics instead of moisturizing performs the function of drying the dermis.

• for regeneration caused by sunburn;
• as an anti-inflammatory drug;
• for oily skin;
• for moisturizing and matting dry skin;

Given the high cost, in the recipe for conventional industrial products, the substance takes up to 5%, and only in the elite concentration is much higher: 45 - 80%.

Prefabricated concentrate is stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Before use, they are diluted five times with water or mixed with vegetable oils.

Home cream with cocoa butter

Cocoa butter is rich in skin-friendly substances, making it an especially valuable ingredient in home-made face creams. Fatty acids and phytosterols, vitamins K and E stimulate metabolism, protect and repair, rejuvenate and lighten the skin of the face and body.

It is also valuable in terms of value, since the process of obtaining this oil is complex and time-consuming. By the way, the natural consistency of cocoa butter is solid, not liquid.
