The recipe for this wonderful coffee mask was shared with me by a friend who has been collecting all kinds of beauty recipes for almost her entire life.
This one was written down in her useful piggy bank notebook, which she kept from school, was repeatedly tested by her whole family, girlfriends, and colleagues.
And, finally, he came to me, to the pages of this blog, and now he will come to you
And it's not just a coffee face mask.
This is a whole anti-aging procedure with an amazing effect.
Every woman who cares about herself and her appearance should try it.
Personally, this recipe struck me with its name "Coffee Silk".
As well as its composition, which includes such interesting ingredients as ground coffee, cocoa, cinnamon, quail eggs and honey.
As a result, your skin will look like you just got back from vacation.
It will acquire a healthy color (if it is dark, then a tan shade is possible), swelling will go away, wrinkles will smooth out, skin turgor (its elasticity) will increase, skin roughness, post-acne, spots, etc. will become less noticeable.
So, the mask comes out:
1. Ground coffee
I have never used it as part of masks, before I only made scrubs with coffee grounds. But it turns out that coffee is part of more beauty treatments.
Due to the presence of caffeine, coffee is able to increase blood circulation even in the deep layers of the skin, tone it, remove toxins from it, as well as restore its lipid metabolism and regenerate the skin, activating metabolism at the cellular level.
Coffee contains polyphenols, which have a positive effect on fibroblasts. They synthesize collagen and elastin, therefore coffee has a lifting and rejuvenating effect.
2. Cocoa
Due to its chemical composition, cocoa can be an extremely useful ingredient in cosmetic face masks.
It contains a number of vitamins and minerals, antioxidants that help improve complexion, narrow skin pores and restore a healthy, natural tone to it.
3. Cinnamon
It is a powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient. If you have problematic skin, be sure to add a small amount of cinnamon to your face masks.
4. Quail eggs
Quail egg masks are the beauty secret of Japanese geishas. The composition of these eggs includes the amino acid tyrosine, which allows you to maintain a healthy complexion.
Melatonin promotes cell rejuvenation, lecithin is able to relieve puffiness, penetrate deep into the layers of the skin and smooth wrinkles, tone the skin.
Quail eggs also contain vitamin A, B vitamins, trace elements, fatty acids, which are responsible for the youth and good condition of our skin and hair.
5. Honey
Honey for the skin is a very effective moisturizer.
It retains moisture for a long time, making our skin radiant, soft and supple.
This allows the skin to breathe. Honey is also an excellent antiseptic and antioxidant.
By combining all these components together, we multiply their action and get an excellent result.
