This is a must have beauty tip that you should think about. Use it often to keep your skin looking great! Daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance have to be part of antiaging skin care. That's basic skin care!
It definitely takes a little work to have great skin but it can also be fun too! One anti aging skin care treatment you can do is to give yourself a firming facial mask. You can buy some great products that last a long time or use what you already have at home.
Used regularly, facial masks can really make a difference. Don't overuse them though. They might make you break out temporarily as they draw bacteria and dirt to the surface of your skin. For that reason, only use them a few times a month.
Used on a regular basis, a clay mask can really help decrease fine lines and wrinkles and help firm puffy eyes or sagging skin. You can buy a large tub or tube of most clay masks from most any store. Each tub/tube will last you a long time, so cost per application is dirt cheap. Personally I use Queen Helene products but you can buy most any brand. Use firming facial masks around twice a month for best results.
Beauty Tip - How to Use Clay Masks
Wash and pat dry your face. Don't overdry. You want your skin to be moist, yet not wet. Spread the mask evenly on your face and neck and allow it to dry, which in most cases will be 15-20 minutes. You can apply a thin layer or a thick layer. The thinner the layer, the faster it will dry.
While it's drying, your face will feel sucked in and completely frozen. Do not laugh or attempt to eat anything while its drying. If you get thirsty, use a straw with liquids. You don't want to crack your skin!
Gently remove the clay with warm water and a soft washcloth or get in the shower. Allow the water to moisten the hard mask, then gently rub it off with your washcloth or your hands. Women have been using clay to tighten skin for centuries.
Even Cleopatra used them and we all know she was known for her beautiful skin! There must be something to them!
Clay mask applications help tighten and deep clean pores, tighten loose sagging skin on your face and neck, improve circulation to the skin, relax tired facial muscles and soften fine lines and wrinkles. Queene Helene Mud Pack is one brand that is an old standard, works well, and is cheap to buy. If you like organic products, go for products like Kiss My Face Organics Pore Shrink Mask, Jason Organics Red Clay Mask, or other brand organic facial masks. Always be sure to clean your face thoroughly after using masks though. Follow up with a good toner like Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner and you're set!
If you don't have a clay mask at home, you can always use things you already have. Egg whites can do the trick! This is way easy to do.
Beauty Tip Using Egg Whites
Crack open an egg over a bowl. Separate the white from the yolk. Discard the yolk or cook it and add it for your salad later:o)
Using your blender, on high speed whip the egg white until its stiff. This could potentially get messy, so its best to be in the bathroom when you apply it. Apply the stiff egg white directly onto a clean, dry face. Allow it to dry and then use warm water and a washcloth to remove it or get in the shower.
Egg whites will help tighten your pores, tighten loose sagging skin on your face and neck, improve circulation to the skin, relax tired facial muscles and soften fine lines and wrinkles.
Another home product to use is just plain white milk. Find out how to use it here.
You can also use oatmeal and honey! Mix plain oatmeal and honey together into a paste and apply it to your face. Follow the same directions to remove it as stated above. Your skin will be so refreshed and tight! It will be smooth, clean, and soft and you will have a healthier, more youthful complexion. If you want your skin to look great, this is one beauty tip must have you don't have to live without!
