Greetings, my readers! A yeast face mask has saved me this time of year for many years. From what? From the holidays, of course! Before we had time to take a break from being alone, the second wave is already on the way - first we will congratulate the men, and then they will congratulate us.

What about Olivet Week? This is a new blow to the health and condition of the skin, including. Here some kind of swelling appears, and wrinkles, and after all the olives, it’s not surprising if a pimple pops up somewhere. What should you do with it, with your skin, after all the holiday excesses? Moisturize, nourish, tighten, dry - she can do it all.

Ladies, just don’t roll your eyes, saying, what haven’t we seen in this yeast? For yourself, your beloved wants something more elegant and airy... some kind of raspberry parfait, avocado mousse, or something like... extreme case honey-cinnamon mask, and here I am with my yeast. Don’t make hasty conclusions, let’s try to figure out what this product can give to our skin and how a mask based on it will be useful.

So what is yeast? Single-celled fungi - we know this from school. Some types of them are widely used in cooking, winemaking, brewing and medicine (production of dietary supplements). Their composition varies depending on the type and method of preparation. But no matter what the manufacturers do with chemicals, our usual baker’s yeast always contains:

• A complete set of B vitamins:
• Vitamin B1 accelerates cellular metabolism, toning the epidermis;
• B2 promotes regeneration, prolonging youth for aging skin;
• B3 restores complexion, helps fight age spots and post-acne;
• B5 performs a protective function, suppressing the influence of environment, and low-quality cosmetics;
• B7 saturates with moisture, reduces flaking;
• B9 dries and disinfects, which will come in handy for oily skin.
• Vitamin E helps restore tone, smooth out shallow wrinkles, and tightens aging skin;
• Microelements and amino acids (more than 10% of the quality composition), which are delivered to the deepest layers of the skin, thanks to the properties of yeast. Among them are calcium, iodine, phosphorus, magnesium and other important components involved in metabolic processes.

Interesting! Thanks to its rich composition, yeast is a natural catalyst for metabolism, nourishes the skin, restores elasticity and a healthy tone, and helps solve the problem of acne.

These microorganisms are universal in the task assigned to them and therefore products based on them can be used at home for all skin types. Masks with our today's hero are also very popular for hair, but today we will not talk about them.

The target audience

In principle, everyone can use yeast masks. These mushrooms will find something to do on both dehydrated and problematic epidermis, but the most pronounced effect will be after their use on oily skin.

Small mushrooms can also find work on aging skin. Therefore, for women after 40 years of age, intensive care with the help of such products will be a godsend.

Rules for use at home

For all its efficiency and versatility, yeast is still finicky. If you prepare the mask incorrectly, you will not see any effect. Therefore, if you want to achieve a brilliant result, follow these rules:

1. Choose only baker's yeast for making masks. These are the ones sold in briquettes.
2. Do not pour boiling water over the yeast mixture. The described microorganisms die at 60 ºС and there will be no benefit from such a mask.
3. Use only clean water. Filtered or bottled (but without gas).
4. Do not prepare the product for future use. This seems obvious and applies to most masks, but it’s better to repeat it.
5. Steam the skin a little before applying the nourishing mass. You can do this over a chamomile decoction (if the skin is not problematic) or over a decoction of herbs with antiseptic properties (oak, yarrow, calendula, sage, St. John's wort).
6. Apply products, avoiding delicate areas: eyelids, skin under the eyes, lips. If you feel itching or burning when using the product, do not wait the allotted time, but immediately wash off the yeast mass from your face.
7. If the mask turns out to be too liquid, then make a fabric base, blot it in the resulting composition and only then apply it to your face.
8. How long to keep it on to avoid unpleasant consequences? The duration of exposure to yeast-based masks should not exceed a third of an hour. Less is better, especially if you are performing this procedure for the first time. Rinse off the used mass with warm water.
9. How often can you do this? cosmetic procedures- the question is controversial. It is permissible to apply yeast products to oily and aging skin up to twice a week. In other cases, it is better to use such mixtures no more than once in the same period of time.

Basic mask

Let's start getting acquainted with yeast masks with the simplest one. It consists of only two components: our today's hero and liquid.

• Cut approximately 30 grams from the yeast briquette.
• We dilute the resulting amount of fungi with warm liquid.
• Leave the mass in a warm place for 15-20 minutes, let it stand, and the fungi will begin the fermentation process.
• As soon as we notice that “the process has begun,” we can apply the product.

Now I have to clarify about the liquid. Most often this is an ordinary pure water or milk, but there may be other options. Choose water when you need to dry out oily skin or pimples; milk is preferable for dry and aging skin. Moreover, the fatter it is, the better the effect will be.

Choose the consistency of the mask depending on how you plan to use it. If the mass looks like thick sour cream, the mask can be applied in the usual way. The liquid will have to be applied in several layers or a napkin should be moistened in it. Watch a video version of a basic yeast mask:

1. Prepare the starter using kefir, taking the components in equal proportions. Such a composition will already do its noble job, but it can be strengthened. The following are suitable for this: disinfecting essential oils (tea tree, rosemary, etc.) or fruit and berry juices.
2. Grind the same amount of yeast and sugar in a spoon of heated milk. It turns out to be a kind of nourishing scrub. Apply with massaging movements, as when scrubbing.

Interesting! Some dermatologists recommend drinking brewer's yeast before meals to get rid of acne. They say that complex therapy (masks + oral administration) gives a stunning effect.

Moisturizing and nourishing for dry skin

Dry epidermis suffers more than other types in winter. Wind and cold dry out, irritate, and lead to peeling. Give dry skin a healthy look with this nourishing mask:

1. Knead a spoonful of cottage cheese so that there are no lumps and mix with the same amount of honey. Add the base composition with milk or even cream (for me, the fattier the better). An additional effect from using such a product is whitening of inflamed areas.
2. Now, again to the basic (this is a universal!) composition, add one yolk, a couple of spoons olive oil and a spoonful of honey. Before application, it is advisable to treat the skin with olive oil using a cotton pad.
3. We will dilute the yeast in fruit pulp. I leave it up to your discretion what kind of fruit it will be, but if you take an apple, you can’t just chop it up - do it in a blender or on a fine grater. Mix the resulting slurry with egg yolk and add yeast.

For chic skin aged 40+

For you, dear ladies, I especially found very good video on this topic. I highly recommend watching it, and you will hear an authoritative opinion and write down more than one recipe in your notebook.

And I also offer my own anti-aging options.

Those who have not been bothered by the problem of acne for a long time will like the mixture with carrots to eliminate wrinkles. Carrots will be equally useful both raw and boiled, but for myself I usually take boiled ones. So:

1. Vegetable puree with vitamins. First you need to puree the carrots. It doesn’t matter how you do it, with a grater or a blender, the result is important. Mix two tablespoons of carrot pulp with a spoonful of yeast diluted in milk. Add a spoonful of honey and yolk.
2. A tightening mask for aging skin. We dilute 30g of yeast in warm milk. Add 2 large spoons of rye or oatmeal and a small spoon of olive oil. And let the super product rise just like regular pie dough. Is it okay? Feel free to apply it to any part of the body, it definitely won’t hurt!
3. We dilute the yeast according to the basic recipe and let it ferment. At this time, prepare a thick starch paste. I wrote in detail how to do this in the article. Combine the base and paste, add a small spoon castor oil and a couple of drops of oily vitamins A and E.

Cleansing mature skin

With age, aggressive manipulation of the skin becomes less and less attractive. In order not to injure tired skin, but at the same time deeply cleanse it, you can apply the following mask with oatmeal:

• Grind two tablespoons of micro-mushrooms in milk (low-fat sour cream is acceptable).
• Add a little oatmeal. Adjust the consistency by adding milk.
• Leave the mixture for a while, let the oatmeal soften a little.
• Massage the finished mixture into the skin and then leave for 10 minutes. Rinse off.

Comprehensive care for normal skin

Cleansing

This mask can be used as a good peeling. Use it carefully, it is quite aggressive.

• Mix 2 teaspoons of the main component with hydrogen peroxide to the consistency of a thick paste.
• Apply the prepared mixture onto your face with massage movements. You can rub the product a little more intensely on problem areas.

Periodic use of this product will help get rid of blackheads, deeply cleanse pores, and remove toxins. But, as always, I advise you to listen to the voice of reason.

Nutritious

If your skin does not need correction, then its condition still needs to be maintained with nutritional cocktails. Using yeast, prepare this:

• As usual, dilute a tablespoon of yeast in the same amount of slightly warmed milk.
• Combine a tablespoon of flaxseed oil with honey and lemon zest.
• We collect all the ingredients together and leave in a warm place for a quarter of an hour.

Advice: Liquid mask It is much more convenient to apply it on a napkin, or even completely wet it in the mixture. And apply the already soaked cloth to your face. If the composition is not enough for this, increase the ingredients in proportion to the recipe.

Whitening

Well, in conclusion, I’ll give you a recipe for such a light spring mask that solves the problem age spots and traces of acne. Try it, it will suit almost everyone:

• Dilute a teaspoon of micro-mushrooms in a couple of teaspoons of freshly squeezed juice of any citrus (lemon, lime, orange, kiwi will also do).
• Place the starter in a bowl of warm water for 20 minutes. Afterwards, apply in the usual way.

Vitamin C is known to brighten the skin, so it is great for dark spots. Yeast enhances the desired effect and speed of action.

Well, my imagination has dried up for today. Do you have your own recipes for yeast face masks? Send me your options, I will be glad. And now I’ll cool your ardor a little.

Contraindications and precautions

You can, of course, praise for a long time the properties of the described product and the stunning effect after its use. But I prefer to be objective and immediately warn that not everything is calm in the Danish kingdom.

1. It is a mistake to think that everything natural is completely safe. Be that as it may, yeast is very active and may be too aggressive for sensitive skin.
2. In addition, the possibility of allergies cannot be ruled out, so if you don’t want your face to turn red or break out in a rash after all the manipulations, do an allergy test first. To do this, dilute a little product in water and apply to your wrist. If, after half an hour, no problems have arisen discomfort, then you can apply this cosmetic mask on the face.
3. Most natural mixtures cannot be applied to the skin if it has damage, “living” wounds. Yeast is no exception. Although for acne and dermatitis, these little helpers have a beneficial effect. Use the product carefully on spider veins. Do not use at all if there are traces of fungal or infectious diseases on the skin.
4. Select mask components carefully. Remember that the described microorganisms are catalysts of cellular metabolism and therefore will deliver all the components of the composition deep into the layers of the epidermis, much faster than other means familiar to us. Therefore, even if you have already used some component more than once ( essential oil, berry pulp, etc.) in other masks and you know how it works, in combination with yeast, reduce the time of first use.

And one moment. I am not a scientist and it is difficult for me to judge how objective the negative reviews of specialists about modern yeast are, but it would be dishonest to ignore them.

I look forward to your opinion on the topic raised, be sure to share it in the comments! Well, tell us about the results when you try something I suggested. I hope my work will be useful to you. Later I promise to talk about yeast masks for hair, but for now I say goodbye to you! See you again!
