Homemade products with corn that nourish, clean and soften the skin
The good appearance of the skin is determined by many factors (stress, exposure to external influences, negative effects of free radicals, dust, wind, cold, etc.). Corn flour is therefore a versatile food. Masks (and other home-made cosmetic products) for the face are the shortest way to restore freshness, shine and radiance to the skin. Corn (that is, corn flour) is an excellent natural remedy that nourishes tired skin and removes signs of fatigue. Corn also softens and cleans the skin. The skin is smooth after using any home remedy. Cornmeal goes well with milk and rose (and rose petal) based products.
- Milk for cleansing the face – mix 4 tablespoons of corn flour in 3 dcl of milk. Heat gently for about half an hour over hot steam. The milk must not boil. Leave the milk for several hours at room temperature. Then strain the milk. Add 1 tablespoon of corn oil and 3 to 4 drops of rose essential oil. Keep the milk in the fridge. Use for up to 7 days.
- Face mask – mix 2 spoons of corn flour, one spoon of honey, 2 to 3 spoons of warm milk. Mix until the mixture is creamy and free of flour lumps. Apply the mask on a damp face with gentle movements. Cover your face with a damp towel. Rinse with warm water after 15 minutes.
