As we age, wrinkles on our face unfortunately become inevitable and the face tends not to be as relaxed and bright as when we were young.
For this reason, appearing with rejuvenated skin or trying to hide more pronounced expression lines is a very common desire!
The good news we want to give you today is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a smooth face.
We would like to offer you 4 DIY masks made from corn starch for a natural botox effect!
Let’s see what they are and how to prepare them!
This mask uses only corn starch as an ingredient. Because of this, it’s really easy to make.
To prepare this mask, you will only need half a cup of cornstarch and enough water to obtain the consistency of a cream.
Then add the water little by little into the cup of starch and mix the ingredients until you get a paste.
Then wash your face with warm water to open your pores and apply the mask in circular motions. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and rinse your face with cold water.
Your skin will immediately feel more relaxed AND smooth
With egg and honey:
The cornstarch mask can also be made with other ingredients for a more effective effect.
In this case, we will combine starch with egg and honey, in order to make this anti-wrinkle cream also effective in purifying the face and making it brighter.
So take:
2 teaspoons of honey,
two egg whites,
three tablespoons of cornstarch,
20 drops of almond oil.
Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them until well blended. Wash your face with warm water and then apply the mask.
Leave on for about 20 minutes, then rinse. Apply this mask twice a week.
Your skin will be smooth and free of impurities!
With lemon:
This recipe is very useful for those who, in addition to wanting a botox effect, also want a mask that can reduce acne and scars.
For this mask, you need:
The juice of one lemon,
two teaspoons of cornstarch.
Then mix the ingredients until you get a creamy consistency. Before applying the cream, cleanse your face with warm water to help open your pores.
At this point, apply the mask and leave it on for about 10 minutes. Then rinse your face with cold water and voila: your skin will immediately feel fresher and plumper!
NB We advise you not to exceed 10 minutes as the lemon could start to cause burning and irritation.
In case of burn, rinse immediately
Carrot Juice:
This corn starch and carrot juice mask has botox powers, as it will give you a perfectly plumped, luminous and rejuvenated face.
To make this recipe, you will need:
1 teaspoon of cornstarch
4 tablespoons of carrot juice
1 tablespoon of natural yogurt
150 ml of water
First, mix the cornstarch with 50 ml of water until smooth. Then, pour the 100 ml into a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
Once it’s boiling, add the starch and water mixture and pour it into the saucepan. Then, mix everything together.
Once the solution has cooled, add the natural yogurt and carrot juice.
Then cleanse your face with lukewarm water and apply the mask for about 30 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
We recommend using the mask once a day for at least one month!
Why do wrinkles form?
Now that we’ve seen how to reduce wrinkles and make our skin look younger and plumper, let’s try to understand why wrinkles form.
The appearance of wrinkles results from various factors, such as sun exposure and poor diet, excessive consumption of cigarettes and alcohol, etc.
What is certain is that over time, the collagen in our skin decreases and this leads to the presence of wrinkles on our face.
Collagen, in fact, is a protein whose role is to support and keep the connective tissues in our body compact. Thanks to this protein, our skin can remain fresh and youthful.
But unfortunately its production decreases with age.
Benefits of Starch:
Corn starch can be really effective in the case of wrinkles because it is a grain that contains fiber, carbohydrates, proteins and minerals.
Asian cultures have used it since ancient times to prepare cosmetic recipes.
Its recognized skin benefits include its ability to soothe irritation caused by bites, regulate excess oil, refresh and exfoliate the skin, and smooth wrinkles.
Contraindications:
We advise you to avoid using the above-mentioned ingredients in case of allergy and hypersensitivity.
