Rules to Remember When Using Vitamin C Masks
The face can remain beautiful and fresh due to the healing properties of the masks. But you can often hear about the ineffectiveness of their use. It happens, this is for the reason that during their preparation and application the basic rules are not followed, which we will talk about later.
The first rule. To prepare a vitamin facial mask with vitamin C at home, you should use the capsules for injection, which are sold in pharmacies. But you can’t store the opened capsule in the refrigerator, otherwise Vitimin will lose its property. It should be remembered that vitamin C is found in many fruits, berries and citrus fruits. Therefore, it can be obtained from currants, lemon, orange and kiwi. Rosehip is also rich in vitamin C, so it is good to use a decoction of it for masks.
The second rule. When preparing masks using vitamin C, add other vitamins, with the exception of vitamin A and E. This combination helps in the fight against fine wrinkles, and also eliminates acne and acne. If vitamin A (aevit) is added to the night anti-aging night cream, you can get an enhanced effect from this application.
The third rule. Vitamin C goes well with almost all homemade mask formulations. This includes dairy products, as well as eggs, vegetable oils, beekeeping products, mashed potatoes made from fruits and vegetables.
Rule Four Before using masks, it is necessary to check whether an allergic reaction arises as a result of individual intolerance to the substance. We carry out the test as follows: apply a small amount to the skin of the hands and observe the reaction of the body for 10 minutes.
The fifth rule. If you have just started applying a face mask with vitamin C at home, its amount should be minimal. So if we use pills, you can add no more than half, but if the vitamin is in drops, more than 10 drops can not be added.
Rule Six Before applying the mask to the face, it must first be cleaned. This can be done by getting rid of makeup, cleaning with a scrub. It is also recommended to steam the face to improve the action. Then the agent will penetrate deeper into the pores, then the action will be stronger. For this purpose, a hot compress is placed on the skin.
Rule Seven Leave the mask on your face is not worth more than 25 minutes. It all depends on the composition of the mask. Rinse with warm water, then wipe the skin with an ice cube, apply a nourishing cream.
Rule Eight. You can apply such masks up to three times a week. The course is 15 sessions. Also, immediately after the procedure, it is not recommended to go outside, especially in frosty or windy weather.
