Mask hides capricious

I do not know what is happening now but the arrival of autumn my skin a monster caprice. A true diva this skin !! Normally it's all mixed fatty, prone to blackheads and all that follows. I did so for masks, imitation of a popular product on the U.S. “Silver powder”. A product of M * B * rio descu. But I find it quite expensive and yet the ingredients seem pretty simple.

This mask is composed of ; Calcium Carbonate, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide. So more specifically calcium carbonate, Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. All of easy to find materials in our suppliers favorite.

But what are the benefits of these raw materials ?

Carbonate of calcium : Mild abrasive, gives texture to cosmetic.
Titanium dioxide : White for cosmetics, UV light, anti microbien.
The zinc oxide : antibacterial, antifungal, soothes irritation.

So you can easily reproduce this yourself powder. Knowing that the dosage varies depending on the order of ingredient, the first is still higher amount than the last. Apparently this mask is somewhat difficult to remove when applied to the entire face. It is not a miracle mask but it gives quite a boost !

I am inspired by this recipe to make my own mask…

Ingredients :
1 cc white clay (Purifying)
1 cc scale powder (healing)
1/2 cc of calcium carbonate (mild abrasive)
1/2 cc of the zinc oxide (anti-microbial and soothing)

Adding a mask applied to a button that area or black dots:
1/4 cc baking soda (drying)


Difficulty : star greystar3 greystar3 greystar3 ––Conservation : 5 month (in its powder)

Method :
That simply mix all the ingredients together and pour into a sterile container.
Keep your pot away from moisture ! When you want to use you just have to remove a small amount and add water until a smooth paste consistency but. Remember when you add an aqueous phase (water, gel, etc.) you can not keep this mask, so use it right away.

Why not replace the water with something else :

Gel d'Aloes : Lifting effect tightens pores so.
Hydrosol of lavender or tea tree : Purifying and treating acne.
Honey : Healing, soothes irritation and protects the skin hydration.
Lemon juice : Purifying and gives a glow to the skin.
Apple juice + cider vinegar : Brightness and light fruit acids.

The why of how

How to form comedones (blackheads) ?
An accumulation of sebum that forms in a channel and exposed to air it oxidizes the.

How to prevent those below ?
As always a healthy diet, Physical Activity (and yes it makes you sweat and eliminate toxins).

Other factors…
The stress, hormones are, the pollution, touching the face, comedogenic products and not well suited… in short everything is what.

How to fix it ?
Healthy lifestyle, exfoliate the skin gently and make steam baths on our face !

We can remove them ?
I think it is better to see a beautician for this stuff… any time if you do it anyway make sure to disinfect and apply an anti microbial because you might get stuck with an ugly scar and a button… which tends to be much more painful and seeing !

For a vial of 125 ml.
Mélanger le tout dans un joli flacon et régalez vous au moment de la douche ! Ce gel douche aide aux peaux à problèmes. L’huile essentielle de citron est un excellent antisceptique et l’huile essentielle de palmarosa un bon antibactérien. De plus ça sent bon ! On peut aussi remplacer he de citron par he de lavande qui elle n’est pas photosensibilisante.

Note the essential oils are not recommended for pregnant women.
Some of these essential oils are photosensitizing.
