Reviews of skin care masks
I have been fighting enlarged pores for many years now. I tried a huge number of products. And now I have found the ideal mask for cleansing and tightening pores. Gelatin with milk just perfectly copes with these problems in two ways. After the mask, the face becomes clean and fresh. Be sure to apply your regular moisturizer.

I really like the effect of egg white on the skin. I just use it without lemon. And if there is no time to fully make a mask, then I use the remains of the protein on the shell during the cooking process. It seems to me that the protein works 100%.
Olga
I love making masks with clay. I use everything: white, blue, pink, green. It perfectly cleanses the skin and tightens pores, and white even helps remove blackheads. The only thing I don’t use is black clay, because, on the contrary, pimples appear on it.

How to check the freshness of an egg
To prepare a mask based on chicken protein, it is recommended to choose fresh eggs. How to check the suitability of eggs? There are two ways:
Method No. 1
- Pour running cold water into a glass container (a little less than half a glass).
- Place the egg in the container.
- Rate the result:
The egg is fresh if it has sunk to the bottom of the container (up to three days). The egg has taken a vertical position - it was laid by a chicken no more than seven days ago. If the egg floats up, one side appears - the egg is not fresh, it was laid more than 21 days ago.
After the chicken lays an egg, air accumulates in the cavity between the white and the shell. The longer the egg lies, the more air there is in the cavity sac - the egg floats above the surface of the water.
Method No. 2
After the egg has been laid, the liquid from the white-yolk mass evaporates daily. To visually check an egg for freshness, you need to break the shell and pour the contents of the egg onto a flat surface. Rate the result:
- Round yolk in the shape of a ball; the white is elastic, jelly-like - the egg is fresh (no more than three days).
- The bulge is clearly visible in the yolk; the white spreads - the egg was laid by the chicken within seven days.
- Flat surface of the yolk, watery white of a cloudy color - the egg is not fresh (more than 21 days).
Rules and features of using egg masks
When applying a mask to the face, we want the skin to absorb the maximum of beneficial substances and microelements, hoping to get the desired result in the shortest possible time. However, in the pursuit of beauty, we lose sight of the rules that should be remembered when applying masks to the face.
Rule one: stay the course. Applying a mask to the face requires a mandatory course. You can achieve results with one procedure, but it will be short and almost unnoticeable. The average course of egg masks is 4-8 times a month.
Rule two: cleanse the skin. Before carrying out such a procedure, it is necessary not only to wash your face, but also to remove all kinds of contaminants from the pores. The following methods are suitable for cleansing the skin:
- Steam bath;
- Peeling;
- Hot compress.
If you choose the peeling method, it must be done an hour before applying the egg mask. Other methods can be used shortly before the start of the procedure.
Rule three: restricted areas. This rule is the most important. It concerns bypassing restricted areas. It must be remembered that you should not injure the particularly delicate and most sensitive areas of the skin of the face. These include the skin around the eyes and around the lips. Failure to comply with this rule can lead to unpredictable consequences, such as burning, dry skin, and allergic reactions.
Rule four: sterility. Decide in advance what tool you will use to apply the mask to your face and take care of its cleanliness. If it's a brush, clean it thoroughly after each use. Wash your hands well if you are going to apply the egg mask with your hands. Otherwise, your efforts may be in vain.
Rule five: accuracy. Try to apply the mask carefully and evenly on your face. Avoid restricted areas of the face so as not to provoke negative reactions of the epidermis. When removing the mask from your face, do it with smooth movements without stretching the skin.
After removing the egg mask, wipe your face with various decoctions, tonics, and medicinal herbs. This procedure must be carried out with cotton pads or gauze wipes to avoid contact of polluting particles with the skin.
Rule six: relax. Relax to improve the effect of the mask. Avoid excessive activity. The ideal outcome would be to take a bath after applying the mask. Read, relax on the couch, or just lie in silence.
It is important to remember that when trying a new mask, you must know how to make it, its specific composition and application methods. This knowledge will make home procedures enjoyable and productive.

What clay will help?
Cosmetic clay is a unique substance that has a huge number of beneficial properties. Depending on the color, the powder helps to cope with various problems.
For enlarged pores, white, blue and green clays are especially popular:
- Dilute the white cosmetic powder with water, mix until it forms a paste. Add a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Distribute over skin.
- Combine green clay powder with water, add a few drops of olive oil, liquid honey and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly and apply to the dermis.
- Dilute blue clay powder with pre-infused and cooled green tea (can be replaced with infusion of chamomile, calendula, lemon balm, mint). Mix the mixture and spread it over your face.
When using clay-based masks, it is important not to allow the mass to dry out on your face. As soon as the mixture begins to dry out, it is recommended to wash it off.
Do homemade masks help tighten pores?
Sebaceous glands are located on almost the entire surface of the dermis. They are most concentrated in the forehead, nose, cheeks, chest and upper back.
The sebaceous glands produce sebum (sebum), which regulates the pH of the dermis and protects against pathogens. When the functions of the glands are disrupted, sebum production increases; the substance clogs the excretory ducts, which leads to their expansion.
Improper care of the facial skin and incorrectly selected cosmetics contribute to contamination and expansion of the mouth. When squeezing out pimples, deformation occurs, which also contributes to the expansion of the mouths of the sebaceous (holocrine) glands.
To narrow the excretory ducts, it is necessary to cleanse the face and make pigment-constricting masks. Homemade products based on natural ingredients can effectively cope with this task.
Ingredients that narrow the excretory ducts:
- Eggs . As we age, the production of elastin and collagen in the body decreases. Loss of elasticity leads to an increase in pore width. Egg white is similar in structure to collagen; its use restores the tone of the dermis.
- Citrus fruits . Lemons help cleanse the epidermis of dirt. The acid they contain destroys pathogenic flora and relieves inflammation.
- Aloe has bactericidal properties, normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands, and maintains the normal pH of the epidermis.
- Honey contains a large amount of nutrients necessary to maintain the beauty and health of the dermis. Thanks to its bactericidal properties, honey kills pathogens that multiply in the mouths of the sebaceous glands. Antioxidants included in the product slow down the aging process.
- Clay cleanses the excretory ducts and reduces the amount of sebum on the skin.
