With the word “gelatin”, many people associate with fruit jelly, delicious jellied or grandma’s jelly , but it is used not only in cooking. Gelatin is a real treasure in skin and hair care.
Gelatin is widely used in
face masks. The mask from black dots with gelatin is one of the finds for owners of problem skin. It gently and quickly removes acne and is an excellent analogue (and most importantly, cheaper and more natural) of cleaning strips, which are abundantly presented in cosmetics stores. To prepare this mask, you will need a teaspoon of dried gelatin (based on the nose and chin area, as needed, the amount of gelatin can be increased according to the proportions), a tablet of activated carbon and a spoonful of milk. Pour the gelatin with milk and let it swell. Add the crushed tablet of activated carbon, mix and put in a water bath. Stirring the mixture, heat it, but do not bring to a boil, because when boiling, gelatin loses its beneficial properties. With a stiff brush (for example, for makeup) we drive the mixture into problem areas and again apply a thin layer of gelatinous mass on top. It should be noted that the mask from black dots with gelatin works best on steamed skin, so it should be applied after taking a bath. After the gelatin on the skin is completely dry, gently pry the edge and remove the gelatin strip. A mask from black dots with gelatin with regular use will help you to forget forever
what acne and problem skin are.
In addition, due to the presence of collagen in the gelatin (a substance responsible for maintaining youthfulness and elasticity of the skin), masks with gelatin are useful for dry,
fading skin. After several applications, the skin is smoothed, it becomes more toned, small wrinkles disappear. To prepare such a mask, pour 2 tbsp. tablespoons of cold water, pour 1 teaspoon of gelatin, leave it to swell and then add a couple of teaspoons of mashed banana, after which apply the whole mass to the skin for about half an hour, then rinse.
Gelatin also favorably affects the condition of the hair. Hair mask (gelatin + egg) improves their growth, restores dry and damaged hair. The amount of gelatin must be calculated based on the length of the hair. For short hair, one tablespoon of gelatin will be enough, which is poured with 3 tablespoons of non-hot water. We leave the mass to swell, then heat it in a water bath, add the yolk and a few spoons of the conditioner or hair mask. The mass is still warm, apply to washed, slightly damp hair. Leave for an hour, on top of the hair you need to cover with polyethylene and insulate with a towel. Rinse with warm water without shampoo.
