At the word "gelatin" many associate with fruit jelly, tasty jellied or grandmother's chill, but it is used not only in cooking. Gelatin - a real treasure in the care of skin and hair.
Gelatin is widely used in face masks. A mask from black dots with gelatin is one of the finds for owners of problem skin. It gently and quickly removes acne and is an excellent analogue (and most importantly, cheaper and natural) of cleansing strips, which are abundantly presented in shops with cosmetics. To prepare this mask, you need a teaspoon of dry gelatin (based on the area of the nose and chin, as needed, the amount of gelatin can be increased according to proportions), an activated charcoal tablet and a spoonful of milk. Fill the gelatin with milk and let it swell. We add a crushed tablet of activated carbon, mix it and put it on a water bath. Stirring the mixture, we heat it, but do not bring it to a boil. When boiling, gelatin loses its useful properties. With a hard brush (for example, for make-up), drive the mixture into problem areas and apply a thin layer of gelatin mass on top again. It should be noted that the mask from black dots with gelatin works best on steamed skin, so it should be applied after taking a bath. After the gelatin on the skin is completely dry, gently pull the edge and remove the gelatinous strip. A mask from black dots with gelatin with regular application will help you forever forget what acne and problem skin are.
In addition, thanks to the presence in the gelatin of collagen (a substance responsible for the preservation of youth and skin elasticity), masks with gelatin are useful for dry, Withering skin. After a few applications, the skin is smoothed out, becomes tighter, fine wrinkles disappear. To prepare this mask, you need to pour 2 tbsp. Spoons of cold water, pour 1 teaspoon of gelatin, leave it to swell and after adding a couple of teaspoons of a mashed banana, after which the entire mass is applied to the skin for about half an hour, then washed off.
Gelatin also favorably affects the condition of the hair. Mask for hair (gelatin + egg) improves their growth, restores dry and damaged hair. The amount of gelatin should be calculated based on the length of the hair. For short hair, there will be enough one tablespoon of gelatin, which is filled with 3 tablespoons of non-corrosive water. We leave the mass for swelling, then heat it in a water bath, add the yolk and a few spoons of conditioner or mask for hair. While still mass warm, we put on washed, slightly damp hair. Leave for an hour, on top of the hair must be covered with polyethylene and warmed with a towel. Wash off with warm water without shampoo.
