Face masks with gelatin: affordable rejuvenation and tightening at home

Properties of a unique product

The main component is protein (about 98% by dry weight). It contains the following amino acids:

• lysine (4%);
• alanine (9%);
• glycine (21%);
• arginine (8%);
• proline (12%);
• hydroxyproline (12%);
• aspartic acid (6%);
• glutamic acid (10%).

Glycine is one of the most valuable amino acids obtained from the gelatinous substance. It is important because it ensures the supply of collagen to tissues. Increases the ability to naturally neutralize the effects of heavy metals or toxic substances that we deal with daily.

Gelatin film masks have an incredible effect, since the substance has many beneficial properties:

• cleanses;
• evens out tone;
• reduces greasiness;
• keeps skin toned;
• softens and slightly brightens;
• promotes moisture retention;
• increases the production of collagen and elastane;
• activates dermal restoration processes;
• reduces wrinkles and fights skin aging;
• has a positive effect on the absorption of additional components of care products.

Not allowed for everyone: avoiding problems

Indications for the use of gelatin for the face:

• the presence of black spots;
• fading, tired skin;
• increased sebum secretion;
• lack of skin elasticity;
• uneven skin pigmentation, freckles.

Unfortunately, regardless of the many advantages, there are also contraindications to the use of such masks:

• rosacea;
• very dry skin;
• tumors of various types;
• dermatitis, as well as allergic rashes;
• skin disorders (presence of wounds, cuts).

It must be taken into account that individual components can lead to allergic rashes. Before use, you must do a sensitivity test: spread a small amount of the prepared composition on your wrist and wait a couple of hours.

With lemon against acne

The lemon mixture will quickly eliminate acne, even out the tone, and relieve inflammation. The only requirement for increased effectiveness is to steam your face first at home. To do this, soak a soft towel in hot water or herbal infusion, place it on the skin, and remove after five minutes.

Step by step recipe:

1. Chop a bunch of parsley into a homogeneous paste.
2. Prepare fresh lemon juice - grind the pulp, squeeze out the liquid through a gauze cloth (you can rub it through a metal mesh).
3. Prepare a gelatin solution based on milk (you will need 40 ml of liquid).
4. Mix all the ingredients, add a powdered activated carbon tablet.

Be sure to start applying the composition from problem areas, and distribute the remainder over other areas of the face. It should be borne in mind that among the components there is an acidic tropical fruit, so it is better not to touch sensitive areas - there is a risk of causing unpleasant discomfort or even irritation. Remove after 10-13 minutes.

To prepare the product at home, pour cool water into gelatin and leave for a third of an hour. Afterwards we heat it up (you can steam it or use a microwave). Next, we act according to the requirements of a specific cooking recipe.

A light, soothing facial massage for 10-15 minutes will have a positive effect on the final effect of the procedure.

The jelly mask is applied to the face, including the neck and décolleté, but avoiding the thin and delicate area around the eyes. For application it is more convenient to use a sponge or brush.

After applying the jelly mask, you need to lie down, be sure to relax your facial muscles, avoiding facial expressions, this will affect the effectiveness of gelatin, which initially tightens and tightens the skin. The mask is applied for about 20-30 minutes until completely dry.
