Today I'm reacting to recipes for you.
You sent this over to me.
This is a D I Y recipe.
First time I'm gonna see it.
Let's have a little look at this recipe I'll take you through.
Tell you what I think.
I love face massage.
Now, here we do it.
I talk massage with studies and through placebo controlled trials.
Massage is amazing.
Increases blood blow, helps with lymphatics.
Now why are they massaging the face first?
Before applying the mask, you want to increase blood flow.
Massaging one of the main mechanisms is thought to be increasing blood flow
to the surface in this case is going to help because you want absorption
of products into the deeper layers.
Increasing blood flow increases vascular.
Will increase the effectiveness.
So here's what they're using.
Eggs and Vaseline will make you look like you're in your twenties.
So you wanna mix the eggs with the Vaseline to get glowing, youthful skin.
The first thing we're gonna do is use the Vaseline.
She's going to put the Vaseline in a bowl.
The Vaseline, of course, is a protectant.
It's thick and many of you use it for.
Not a lot might absorb if you have Vaseline on straight
and then do this recipe.
So let's have a little look.
Okay.
We're mixing things, adding two tablespoons of milk.
I love it.
What's milk cab?
It has, of course lactic acid, which is alpha hydrox acid.
You know, I love that double boiling or double heating mechanism.
It's absolutely key so you don't ruin the structure.
Of the product.
So you don't want to dage your proteins and you don't want to use
microwave heat or direct heat, and that's why it is an extra step to do.
And, and it will make a big difference in the effectiveness of any product
that you're heating, be it antioxidants.
In this case we're using Vaseline and heating that so that it isn't clumping
it, its uniform throughout this mask.
Now we're adding honey.
She's going to add the honey.
Now that's an anti-inflammatory, an antibacterial, of course.
Uh, and a humectant like hyaluronic acid.
So I love those ingredients so far.
Now we have an.
Fats, it actually helps decrease inflammation.
She's getting rid of the white and we're using egg yolk.
Love that.
So why is she getting rid of the egg white and keeping the egg yolk?
Well, the egg white is rich in protein, but the egg yolk has
fats, minerals, and vitamins.
It's much more nourishing.
The egg white can change the consistency and it makes it very hard to apply a.
But primarily the egg yolk is what you want and the fats for that
odor barrier of skin, but also help restore some fats for the face.
Okay, so the egg yolk is gonna go in, let's see, add the eggs to the fixture
and then likely we're gonna stir that.
But eggs ha are high fat.
They help your, uh, barrier, your skin barrier.
And I love fats in general on the skin.
Here's, she's mixing the egg.
With our milk, and you could use cream as well in the Vaseline and the honey.
So mix those ingredients well, that looks, uh, maybe a little tasty.
I mean, you could cook that, but it's gonna be way better in your face.
Now here she's got a brush and she's, she's applying that Now.
What, how would you clean that brush after?
You guys are gonna have to tell me the comments.
I have no idea.
But apply it around your eyes for the wrinkles Love.
It looks like it goes on easy, so she's got a lot of fats.
And leave it on for 20 minutes.
Great.
A lot of fats help the skin barrier antimicrobial, so antibacterials,
anti-inflammatories, and then wash your skin after the 20 minutes.
Love.
I actually really like this recipe.
Here's one thing you might consider.
You could use the Vaseline after.
I know many of you love slugging.
You could put this on without the Vaseline.
take it off in 20 minutes and then you could slug for the
evening and for the night.
I know many of you're doing that.
I do like it in the recipe she's talking about, but that it does
create a bit of a barrier for the absorption of everything else.
So that might be one thought.
Uh, I'd love to hear what you think.
I know you guys like your DIY masks.
Of course, I like the, the Korean beauty sheet masks as well.
These can all be used together for different ones during the
week, but I want to hear a few.
Let me know.
I put a complete playlist up here on mistakes people make
on facial sheet mask use.
Stay tuned here.
Keep your skin and body beautiful and healthy.
