What Are the Benefits of Using a Mask Made from Notoginseng, Pearl Powder, and Honey?
Every woman applies a face mask, choosing the one that suits her skin condition. However, some commercially available masks may contain chemical ingredients, and long-term use may cause harm to the skin. Therefore, more and more people choose to make masks at home. Sanqi pearl powder and honey are the most commonly used ingredients, which have the effects of whitening, moisturizing, and anti-aging, without worrying about side effects. Below, I will introduce the preparation methods and precautions.
The role of Sanqi pearl powder and honey mask: Pearl powder, whether taken internally or externally, has excellent whitening and nursing effects. The collagen fibers and amino acids contained in pearl powder can not only provide lasting moisturization to the skin but also increase skin gloss and elasticity. In addition, the alkaline phosphates in it can enhance the vitality of human epidermal cells and delay aging. The monosaccharides, vitamins, amino acids, and other natural nutrients contained in honey can directly act on the skin, providing nutrients for cells. At the same time, the acidic substances in honey have a strong antibacterial effect, which can cleanse the skin, improve dull complexion, and enhance the skin's metabolism.
Methods for making Sanqi pearl powder and honey mask: Method 1: Materials needed: Pearl powder, milk powder, honey. Preparation method: Take an appropriate amount of pearl powder and mix it with half of the milk powder. Then add a small amount of honey to mix it well. Apply the mixture evenly on the face and rinse it off with water after 15 minutes. This mask has the effects of whitening, moisturizing, and nourishing the skin. Method 2: Extract tomato juice using a juicer and mix it with pearl powder and honey to form a paste. After deeply cleansing the skin, apply the mixture evenly on the face and leave it for about 15 minutes before rinsing it off. This mask can whiten and brighten the skin, giving your complexion a radiant look.
Precautions for homemade masks: 1. Selection of mask materials. The choice of materials determines the effects of the mask. Remember not to use spoiled or allergenic materials, as it may cause more harm than good. 2. Timing of mask application. Excessive absorption of nutrients can overload the skin, causing a burden. Therefore, it is best to apply the mask for about 15 minutes. Additionally, applying a mask in the morning can enhance the effects. 3. Quality of preparation. It is essential to maintain cleanliness during the preparation process. Wash your hands thoroughly before making the mask and ensure that the materials and tools are clean to prevent bacteria or pesticide residues from being introduced into the mask, which may cause skin inflammation or infection.
Habits for applying masks: 1. Using essence to assist mask absorption. Applying a layer of essence with the same effects as the mask before application can help the essence in the mask penetrate deeper into the skin, enabling the skin to fully absorb the nutrients. If you forget to apply the essence before applying the mask, it is still effective to apply it while the skin is still hydrated after removing the mask. 2. Using heat to enhance mask effectiveness. If possible, you can apply the mask while taking a bath or shower. The steam from the shower helps to open the pores, facilitating the absorption of the essence in the mask. If you don't have time for a shower, you can achieve similar results by applying a warm towel to your face for 3-5 minutes.
