The Good, The Bad and the Ugly Regarding Handmade CosmeticsObviously it's a good thing if the handmade cosmetics can really help with the care of our body and skin. However, what if everything happens on the contrary? Therefore, we'll make a rundown of the popular myths regarding handmade cosmetics.
The lemon juice is one of the magnificent ingredients for cosmetics with a bleaching effect. To some extent, it is truth indeed and mainly because citric juice contains vitamin C, possessing clarifying action. Our mothers and grandmothers got rid of sunspots and freckles by means of citric juice because of absence of effective cosmetic bleaching means. However, handmade cosmetics with lemon juice make it because of peeling dead cells. It leveled and clarified the skin and nothing more. The sunspots stained a little and freckles slightly grew white, but did not disappear.
But if you think that the handmade cosmetics with citric juice can erase from your face those hated freckles or sunspot stains as eraser, then do not use it too much. The active application of a lemon can lead to a boomerang effect and allergic reaction.
Vaseline and castor oil strengthens the eyelashes and promotes their growth. Everything that you can achieve is to make them brilliant and soft with the help of Vaseline, castor oils and other oils (vegetative, olive and so on).
Ice influences a skin solitarily. But alas, it is also not absolutely true. The only thing that you can get frequently is the expansion of vessels and dehydration of skin. All others, sharp temperature, drops can provoke the occurrence of fine red specks. Gentle and such vulnerable skin of the woman prefers heat and caress!
The regular application of vinegar solution adds hair shine and silkiness. It is possible that there is something valid in this. However, is there a necessity today to use vinegar-based handmade cosmetics, which injures the hair? Our grandmothers had to wash their hair with soap (and vinegar neutralized its harmful influence). However, we use modern hi-tech shampoos, balms and conditioners in which structure neutral means are already included. No, even if you have a desire to rinse your hair in vinegar. However, try to do these procedures not so frequently.
Separate cleaning of the face is extremely undesirable. It is truth, but only in the event that early on you do not wash up the hands, do not clear the skin, do not steam it out, and after "cleaning" you do not disinfect and do not dry your skin. If all hygienic requirements are observed, you can easily process problem sites of the skin with your own hands. The homemade cosmetics equipment let us do that easily.
However, we can give one more bit of advice - try to delete independently only black points (with the red and inflamed sites it is better to consult the expert), and try to not touch your face during the daytime. In addition, attend a good cosmetician from time to time.
Render a protective or nutritious cream before going out. Remove the surpluses of means with a napkin. Once a week, find a day for yourself. Make a complex of procedures to take care for your skin, nails and hair. The result will be a positive one and you won't wait until you can do it again.
