Cottage cheese masks for facial skin: moisturizing, whitening, nutrition

Many women strive to use natural products to maintain beautiful and youthful skin. These include cottage cheese masks for facial skin. They are convenient because they are easy to prepare at home. Cottage cheese is a natural fermented milk product that is used in everyday nutrition. This is an excellent source of calcium necessary for the body.

Cottage cheese is widely used in masks for all types of facial skin. They have a number of advantages over store-bought products, since they do not contain harmful additives. Cottage cheese can be used independently in masks. For greater effect, it is combined with other ingredients that enhance its effect on the dermis.

Sagging oval face: reasons

The clarity of facial contours is lost due to various reasons, and after 30 years, several act at once:

  • Age.

As you get older, the skin loses its elasticity, because after 35 years, the production of elastin and collagen, proteins that support the contours of the face, decreases. The most vulnerable places are the neck, where the subcutaneous fatty tissue is not burned out, which predisposes it to dehydration. The absence of an abundant network of small vessels is the cause of atrophy and early ptosis of the skin.

  • Heredity.

Genetics plays an important role in age-related changes and the type of aging. If there were women in the family who aged quickly, then preventive measures should be taken care of in advance.

  • Fluctuations in body weight.

Gaining weight, and after losing weight, does not have the best effect on the contour of the face. This is the main reason for the appearance of jowls and other aesthetic problems. Gaining weight causes the skin to stretch, while losing weight causes it to sag.

  • Posture and bite disorders.

Incorrect posture and bite affect the contours of the face, the position of the lower jaw changes, which predisposes to ptosis.

  • Aggressive effect on the skin.

Ultraviolet radiation, errors in skin care, the use of aggressive cosmetics and lack of nutrition and hydration are the reasons that deplete collagen and elastin reserves.

What are the benefits of curd products?

Cottage cheese is a natural fermented milk product created by coagulating milk with starter cultures or enzymes. It contains the following ingredients:

  • Water.
  • Proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
  • Vitamins (group B, carotene, ascorbic acid, tocopherol).
  • Minerals (calcium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, fluorine, copper).

The skin, like other organs of the human body, needs nutrients, and being constantly exposed to external factors, it requires active care and protection. All this can be achieved with the help of curd products that are suitable for any epithelium.

Cottage cheese helps maintain an optimal acid-base balance on the surface of the skin and restore its water-lipid mantle. It contains substances that stimulate collagen synthesis (ascorbic acid, magnesium) and inhibit the activity of peroxidation (vitamins A, C, E).

After curd masks, small wrinkles on the face are smoothed out, the skin becomes softer and more elastic, and the complexion improves. Some people will like the ability of a fermented milk product to eliminate oily shine, while others will like its moisturizing and nutritional properties. After using cottage cheese, the skin will become smooth and soft.

Cottage cheese can be considered a truly universal ingredient that can improve several parameters at once and is suitable for any skin type.

Rules for using the product

Before considering the options for popular honey-curd masks, you need to dwell on the features of their manufacture and use.

Cosmetic products will be especially useful if you follow important recommendations.

  1. It is better to prepare the curd ingredients for masks yourself or purchase them at the market from familiar sellers. If there are none, you need to pay attention to the shade of the product - fresh cottage cheese is whitish or slightly creamy in color. The smell of a high-quality lactic acid product is slightly sour.
  2. The fat content of the product is also important. If your skin is excessively dry, purchase the highest fat cottage cheese. For skin with excessive functioning of the sebaceous glands, low-fat curd mass is suitable, for combination skin - medium fat content.
  3. A cosmetic product must be as fresh as possible, so you cannot make it “in reserve.”
  4. To enhance the effectiveness of the procedure, you should first remove your makeup and rinse your face.
  5. After applying the mask, you should lie down and rest for 15-20 minutes. To increase blood flow to the head, the pillow is removed, and a bolster is placed under the lower part of the body.
  6. The cosmetic product is removed using warm and cold water (water contrast will improve blood flow in the skin). Once your face is dry, you can lubricate your skin with a suitable cream.

Honey and curd mask is suitable for all skin types. The only limitation is intolerance to any ingredient. That is why the resulting mixture is first applied to the wrist in order to “test” the skin for the presence of hypersensitivity.

Indications for use

A curd face mask is suitable for both young girls and older women who want to prolong their youth and maintain a fresh and blooming appearance for a long time. At a young age, girls often experience pimples and acne caused by hormonal processes occurring in the body. Adult women need skin tightening in problem areas, smoothing out wrinkles and removing age spots. Cottage cheese-based cosmetics will help cope with all these shortcomings. Facial cosmetics based on cottage cheese are convenient because this product is available in several types:

  • low fat – 1.8-2.5%;
  • classic – 5-15%;
  • fat – 20-25%.

The milk fat content is indicated as a percentage. The amount of vitamins and microelements varies little depending on the type of cottage cheese.

Useful properties of the ingredient

The main components of this product are milk protein, milk fats and lactic acid bacteria. These products are easily absorbed by the body and have a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract. The set of amino acids contained in cottage cheese stimulates the regeneration of liver cells. The product is rich in calcium and phosphorus, which help restore bones in case of fractures.

Regular consumption of this dairy product activates the production of testosterone and, as a result, causes muscle growth.

Individual components are a good preventative against atherosclerosis.

For wrinkles

Take a large spoon of cottage cheese, the same amount of high-fat cream, half a dessert spoon of almond butter. If you don’t have almond, replace with olive or any vegetable. Mix everything and spread a thick layer on your eyelids for 20 minutes.

Observe the indicated proportions, choose only fresh products for home treatments, carefully check all compositions first on the elbow.

Which cottage cheese to choose

There is an opinion that it is better to buy a homemade one. Dry skin types require oily skin and vice versa. However, not all so simple.

Fat content does not affect the effect of use and homemade cottage cheese can also be different. If you buy a product from a trusted regular seller, you can be sure of the quality and naturalness. If you buy from the “first grandmother you come across” on the market, you can get a product contaminated with bacteria.

Sellers in the transitions also want to make money and have learned to use chemistry to increase weight, shelf life and taste.

Maybe store-bought cottage cheese is not as tasty, but this is not important for making masks. You can read the composition and expiration date on packages from the store, and, moreover, make claims in case of quality discrepancies. Therefore, the main rules of choice are to carefully study the composition and choose packaging without “E” and similar “harmful things”.

Pay attention to the expiration date, which should not exceed a maximum of 5-7 days. Sealed packaging. This is not to say that paper packaging is of poor quality, but bacteria will definitely not “penetrate” into a sealed container from the counter or during transportation.

To be completely confident in quality, it’s easy to make homemade cottage cheese yourself. To do this, leave the milk at room temperature for a day. Alternatively, add lemon juice or acid to the fresh juice at the tip of a knife.

Next, bring the container with sour milk to a boil. Over low heat, wait until the milk begins to curdle. Drain through a sieve. As a result, the whey will drain, and the curd will remain in the sieve. To prepare masks, wet cottage cheese can not be squeezed out, but can be used with the remaining whey.

Whey contains all the beneficial components of cottage cheese and has the same qualities. It can be used as a cleanser or as a peeling by adding coffee, cinnamon, or oatmeal.

Now you can enrich the curd mass with additional ingredients for the desired result and begin application.
