Skin care products - facial maskFacial mask (face# Pack, or simply Pack) is used for beauty and skin care. The mask can be applied on the face before washing the face (especially before going to bed at night), let it dry naturally for 10 to 20 minutes, and then wash it off with warm water (some masks are also peeled off after drying). Using a facial mask will leave your skin feeling smooth and stretched. Facial masks are easy to prepare, and some recipes can be made at home. Facial masks usually use high-quality clay (kaolin or white clay), wheat flour, starch and other powder materials that have a film-forming effect on the skin surface, and then add an appropriate amount of water and other nutrients, and the curative substances are mixed into a thick paste.Long-term use of facial mask can play the following roles:1. Promote blood circulation and absorption function of the skinFacial masks cover the skin surface to prevent water evaporation, swell the stratum corneum of the skin, expand pores and sweat lines, increase the temperature of the skin surface, and promote blood circulation. At the same time, it is conducive to the skin's absorption of nutrients and therapeutic ingredients added in the mask.2. Create tension to stretch the skinThe shrinkage of the mask when it dries can create tension in the skin, thereby tightening and stretching the skin and making some fine wrinkles disappear.3. Cleansing effectAs the skin function is activated, the secretion and excretion functions of the skin are enhanced. When washing, take advantage of the mask's adsorption effect on secretions and dirt and remove it together with the mask, making the skin feel refreshed and clean.Here are some ways to prepare and use homemade facial masks commonly used in Japanese households:1. Egg white mask (nutritional mask)Take wheat flour or kaolin (it can also be a mixture of the two), add an appropriate amount of egg white and water, stir and mix until it becomes a thicker paste. Take a certain amount and apply it on your face, let it dry (about 10 to 20 minutes) and then wash it off with water. Depending on the situation, a portion of skimmed milk powder can be mixed in when preparing the facial mask, and egg yolk can also be added.2. Facial mask with bleaching effectAdd an appropriate amount of commercially available hydrogen peroxide diluted with water to wheat flour or kaolin clay (add 3 to 4 times the amount of clean cold water to commercially available hydrogen peroxide) to prepare a relatively thick paste. When using it, you can apply it focused on the areas with dark spots and pigmentation on your face; you can also apply it all over your face. But in the latter case, be sure to apply some oil on the edges of your eyebrows and hair so that the mask does not adhere to these places. Let dry and then wash off.3. Juice maskCut tomatoes, cucumbers, lemons and other fruits into thin slices, place them on the skin surface, and cover them with gauze soaked in these juices. After a certain period of time, the effects of the juices can be exerted.4. Oily facial maskSoak gauze or absorbent cotton with warm olive oil, apply it on the surface of the face, and then cover it with a hot and humid towel. After 10 to 20 minutes, massage gently with your hands, then wipe off and wash.5. Peel-off (PeeLOff) type maskAdd a small amount of moisturizing and softening agents such as glycerin to mucus with film-forming properties such as polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose, and polyvinylpyrrolidone.
