DIY cooking rules
It is easy to make a wrinkle cream by yourself. To achieve an effective consistency of the product, you need to know about some of the nuances of its preparation and use:
- when heating and stirring, you should not use metal objects (spoons, chopsticks), because they will provoke oxidative reactions and a decrease in the therapeutic effect;
- the finished product should be stored in a refrigerator in a container with a tight-fitting lid;
- The maximum storage period for a household item is one month, so it is recommended that the label be put on the finished container with the production date for convenience;
- Before applying the cream, it is important to thoroughly cleanse the skin of the face (this is necessary for the complete work of the components of the product, as well as not to provoke inflammation and the appearance of acne).
Evaluate the compatibility of the cream and your skin type, as well as its effectiveness without side effects in the form of rashes, itching, redness, will allow the implementation of simple recommendations:
- Before applying the cream you need to evaluate the reaction in a small area of skin. If you experience discomfort, tightness, redness, the use of the composition will have to be abandoned.
- It is worth using only high-quality essential oils. Synthetic counterparts will not benefit. They can not be heated, so they are added to the composition at the final stage.
- The vessel for the finished cream and mixing ingredients must be made of glass, porcelain or ceramics.
- Do not harvest large stocks of homemade creams and masks, because natural formulations do not contain preservatives, quickly deteriorate and lose their healing properties.
- Self-made tools are usually quite fatty. Therefore, it is recommended to remove them 15 minutes after application.
- You should choose hygienic jars under cream with dispenser. This eliminates the contact of the composition with the fingers, which may result in damage to the cream or the ingress of bacteria into it.
Wrinkles can be either among owners of dry skin, or in women with oily and combination skin. In the first case, it is recommended to remove the home cream or mask with cool water. Combined skin should be rinsed with warm water. Never use soap.
Compliance with these simple guidelines and rules will increase the effectiveness of home cosmetics.

Reviews
Creams and masks of own production - a way to keep the skin in tone, without loading it with heavy chemicals. There is not a single woman who has never used the "grandmothers" or, conversely, new-fangled recipes and tricks.
The girls try to prepare creams, masks and serums for beautiful skin at home and willingly share their observations on the forums. Recipes are created independently, borrowed and modified, experiments with ingredients are carried out. The advantages of successful experiments women and girls include increasing skin turgor, its elasticity, smoothness and velvety.
But opinions about the cost of time diverge. Someone admires beauty recipes that take a maximum of ten minutes. Someone reports that from the first time the product of the desired consistency and efficiency will not work and will have to work hard.
Another nuance noted in the reviews of young ladies is the costlyness of home cosmetology. Since the ingredients of the cream are completely natural, they are not cheap. Some girls still recommend initially to consult with a beautician, before embarking on the use of cosmetics of its own production. The specialist will help determine the type of skin and identify the ingredients that will benefit, not harm.
With a successful selection of ingredients, you can get the effect, many times superior to the most expensive and famous creams. Girls recommend purchasing components for them not in pharmacies, but in organic cosmetics stores. But remember that all the same specialist consultation is necessary. Work on yourself and your beauty every day and your skin will definitely thank you for its freshness and smoothness.
