subject: A Recipe For At Home Facial Masks For Blackheads [print this page] A lot of people have the problem of blackheads, especially teenagers. Blackheads look like little bumps on a person's skin. The color of them are going to vary anywhere from yellow up to black. There are people who are buy products on the market for blackheads but there are also at home facial masks for blackheads that can be made from products in the home. These facial masks are left on a person's face for a certain length of time and removed to give the person results. Here are the steps for making some facial masks for blackheads.
Separate two eggs
The first step in making these at home masks is to prepare the eggs. Break open your eggs and then separate them, just keeping the egg whites. Use a whisk to beat your whites for a couple of seconds so that consistency is ensured. They are going to make a wonderful mask because they tend to harden quickly.
Add some lemon juice.
The next step for these at home facial masks is to add your lemon juice. Whisk your whites while you add in a teaspoon of some lemon juice. Mix these together until they're blended well. The juice contains the acid, which is very well known for blackheads. The juice will also penetrate your pores, and get rid of the dead skin cells, oils, and other impurities that are going to cause blackheads. The juice will also tighten your pores, which is another advantage of these home facial masks.
Wash your face
Clean your face thoroughly using a cleanser that is mild. This is going to get rid of any dirt or oil that's going to prevent the facial masks from adhering to your skin.
Put the mask on
Spread your mixture onto your face, making sure that all of your skin is completely covered. This is not going to be a thick mixture, so ensure that your skin's covered.
Allow it to dry
Allow the mask to stay on your face for 15-20 minutes or til the mask is completely dry and stiff. It's going to be hard when you touch it and you won't be able to move your face. Your egg whites are going to stiffen in this time period and provide the mask's stiffness.
Peel the mask off
Gently pull these facial masks off of your face. The blackheads should be coming with it when it comes off. It won't do any good to use water to rinse your mask off, because it won't take the blackheads off. Removing the mask in pieces is going to give you the best results.
Finish
Once your mask is completely off, rinse your face using lukewarm water. Once you pat your face dry, put a lotion on your face to moisturize it. This is going to reduce the irritation as well as close and tighten your pores.
These facial masks are great for removing your blackheads and making your skin look and feel a lot better.
