Most often, my mother offered to smear something smelly, soil or (the worst) to "leave everything as it is." Not to say that as an adult, I began to refer to wiping stub cucumber more sympathetic, but I definitely should not have neglected castor oil for the care of eyelashes.

How to apply

Recipes masks with blue clay literally hundreds, in it you can add olive oil to moisturize the skin, and juice lemon whitening freckle, but as a person with allergies, I would recommend starting with the classic monokomponentny masks.

Pre-need to wash with warm water, very well be used to mask scrub. Dissolve 3 tablespoons of powdered clay in warm water to a non-metallic dish consistency of sour cream. Apply on wet face by massaging gently, avoiding the eye area. Try to relax the facial muscles and suppress laughter at the sight of herself in the mirror:

clay pretty quickly solidifies, and the slightest muscle tension will cause cracking of the mask and the skin tension.

When the mask dries lighter, gets a nice blue color, and it is perfectly visible point spots of fat, out-of-this attempted since. After 10-15 minutes, wash off the mask with warm water, rinse with cool clean face. Do mask can be 2-3 times a week.

2. Bast of luffa

Luffa - herbaceous vine of the family Cucurbitaceae. Sponges made from its ripe fruit with a fibrous, rigid structure.

How it works

Exfoliation and light skin massage. Eliminates the ingrown hair.

How to apply

The stores sell lyuffovye sponges of different shapes and degrees of hardness: mittens, long washcloths with two loops with foam inside, there is even little pieces of luffa, alloyed into wedges soap. In my opinion, mittens peeling is most convenient, besides they are generally milder, because further processed to impart a desired shape. With foam rubber sponges are needed if you want to use when peeling soap, but, in my opinion, it's too much: clean luffa much better exfoliate dead skin cells.

Before applying the wet mitten warm water - can be rubbed. Just do not overdo it! Even without much pressure, after two or three movements of friction skin reddens.

important terms

Therefore, to prevent bacteria to multiply in the wool, rinse it well with hot water after each use and dry immediately in the expanded form (it is better to hang it outside the bathroom).

3. Castor oil

Vegetable oilDerived from castor bean.

How it works

It strengthens the lashes and stimulates their growth. It can be used for the eyebrows and the hair. The bonus can smooth out fine wrinkles around the eyes.

How to apply

In addition to castor oil, we need a brush for its application. You can clean up the old brush from the carcass or use cotton swabs. Oil is applied to clean lashes in the evening or during the day if you do not use cosmetics for the eyes. Do not overdo it with the amount of oil: it must moisturize lashes, but do not assemble them drops. Otherwise, blot the lashes with a napkin.

Whether you can smear eyelashes at night, we will have to find out by experience: someone has oil in sleep causes swelling eyelids, someone - no. But in any case, the earlier before bedtime means you will inflict, the better.

important terms

Watch out for shelf life and storage conditions. Castor oil is kept hermetically packaged in a dark container at a temperature not higher than 18 degrees for two years.

It is necessary for the purification of very polluted areas of the body, removing the residues of deodorant, hygiene sex organs and the treatment of hands after you prepare something from raw meat or eggs, came from the streets or visit restroom. And I certainly do not appeal to reduce the amount of water treatments.

---

If you are used to cosmetic products prepared on the basis of these resources (eg, steamed mask with blue clay and zinc - quite a common combination of acne), the wah effect will not. In essence, it is the same active substance, but it is more concentrated, and for less money. Also, I do not advise to rely on instant effect: if you do not consider use of luffa peeling all others require you to manipulate regular use, especially castor oil. In general, the listed funds proven themselves and are not addictive.
