The best masks summer: nutrition and care

As is known, Cosmetic masks - is a kind of "heavy artillery", beating right on target. The main thing - to pinpoint the underlying problem of the skin or hair, and deal with it purposefully, wisely choosing the ingredients for a mask.

Hair masks . As you know, the main problem of the hair in summer - burning and over-drying, especially if they often find themselves in the sea water. In order to somehow protect the hair on their own, can be completed ready uncomplicated homemade cosmetics formulations -   homemade hair masks .

So, in the summer of hair in need of protection - for the use of oil-based and food - for this use revitalizing products. And the best "transport" to carry all this stuff - ethyl alcohol, to put it simply - alcohol. As a basis for mudpack   taking olive oil (can be flavored - by the way, if to said personal problems have increased hair loss, use oil infused with chili), complement his choice - milled pulp tomatoes (only remove the seeds, and the torment of wash) milled in a blender with parsley (especially good for blondes), or minced leaves of aloe. And added to get a lot of little spirits - brandy, whiskey, vodka, tequila, gin - in general, something savory.

Proportions hair mask are as follows: 1 part oil accounts for 1 part alcohol and 3 parts of "power." Apply to clean, dry hair, wrap tightly with cling film, then - with a thick towel and leave all the construction for 30-40 minutes. Then wash your hair with a mild shampoo.

Body Mask . The body in the summer to see. Back, stomach and chest, silently hiding under sweaters and jackets most of the year, finally "went for a walk", which means that they have to look perfect. To do this, the skin must first be thoroughly cleaned, and then how to nourish and moisturize.

Cleaning can be body mask   salt (effectively, but not suitable for owners of dry skin), or by some plants. For example, dry seaweed (kelp), which should be wrapped in a cloth, boiled water and brew this steamed sponge treat the whole body. Or flax seed, a handful of which is also brewed in a rag and used in the same way.

And then begin to nourish and moisturize, and at the same time, body mask . To do this, we take a very heavy cream (third cup), very fat cottage cheese (one-third cup) and fresh fruit of your choice - strawberries, cherries, gooseberries, red (not black!) Currants - glass. All this yummy whisk in a blender, and fighting the urge to eat immediately, put on the trunk, upper arms (to the elbows) and the upper part of the legs (to the knees). All this was done a better standing in the bathtub. Smeared, stand 15 minutes, then wash off thoroughly cool shower without soap. We saw the result?

Masks for hands . Because the hands are growing out of the body, and the approach to caring for them will be the same, but a little more "aggressive".

For deep cleansing use masks for hands of unrefined olive oil or goose fat present (if any), half a cup of fine sea salt, juice of one lemon and a big bunch of parsley. First grease the hands of oil or fat - rub the hands so that the oil is warmed up strongly. Salt and then scraped gently massaging the whole hands and each finger individually salt. Once the salt zaschiplet, take parsley and rub it in your hands, it is allocated to the juice. Rubbed his hands parsley, lubricate them with lemon juice, massaging another 20 seconds and then wash off with cool water without soap. Because of lemon and parsley your skin look younger by ten years ...

Now make nutritious masks for hands . Had prepared two plastic bags and mittens (not gloves). Slice butter rub a few drops of balsamic vinegar and a spoon of cucumber or cabbage pickle, and this cream thickly applied to the hands. We put on the hand bags (perhaps this will require outside help), top - mittens, and so we sit for about 15 minutes then remove and, without washing cosmetic mask , We put on top of the usual hand cream.

Masks for feet . Feet in the summer - is another story. Sandals and Sandals is a treacherous world calloused heels, chapped fingers and uneven nails. The most offensive is that lead is a foot in the relative order as a couple of days walking the dusty streets, they become even worse than they were, and corn on the delicate skin formed faster.

To some "harden" the skin of feet in the summer, it will be tan. Literally. We will do homemade mask for legs of concentrated decoction of oak bark, pharmacy alcohol solution hlorfillipta and mink oil or petroleum jelly. First, strong brew oak bark: a glass of bark brew two cups of boiling water, warm water bath for 20 minutes, then we filter in a low bowl and put it back washed with pumice foot - so that the water level was not higher than 2 cm, and did not cover the top of the foot . After about 15 minutes take out the legs, but does not wipe out - let them dry. Then use a cotton disk wipe solution hlorfillipta feet thick and lubricates mink oil or petroleum jelly. We put on cotton socks and as such spend the night. The next morning we get smooth, but not very sensitive feet.

Face masks . That face, of course, the most difficult. All of the following does not apply to owners of super-sensitive and problematic skin: care of such persons should be handled by experts. Those who have normal skin, dry, oily or combination summer the most important thing - to avoid photodamage.

Of course, for this we need to use every day cream with sun protection factor, however, raise the level of "solar immunity" of the skin, and can be at home. To do this homemade mask for face of peaches or apricots. One peach or apricot 2 peel and seed, mash with a fork and mix with a couple of drops of the pharmacy solution of retinol acetate (in other words - vitamin A). Add a little bit normal day cream, stir and apply to cleansed face tonic. Leave on for 10 minutes, rinse with a means to make-up remover. This homemade mask   you can do once a week, it is better just to sleep.
