How Does A Gelatin Face Mask Work?
The gelatin face mask is very similar to other peel-off face masks:
it puts certain things into the skin and takes other things out. As
gelatin face mask dries, it infuses your skin with moisture and
nutrients that stimulate and promote collagen growth, heal damaged skin,
improve elasticity, and add volume. While this is going on, the gelatin
is also lightly binding to the dirt, oil, dead cells, and toxins that
are on the surface of your skin. When you peel off the dry mask, the
dirt, oil, dead cells, toxins, and even a small layer of your skin
go with it. This exfoliation reveals the newer, softer skin underneath.
That’s why your skin always feels smoother after you remove a cosmetic
mask.As good as all this sounds, gelatin face masks aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. There are some important things you should know before trying this skin care option.
What You Need To Know Before You Try A Gelatin Face Mask
Peeling off a gelatin face mask can sometimes hurt...a lot. All peel-off masks are different, but if the funny and tragic videos of people struggling to remove these products are any indication of the pain involved, the gelatin face mask might not be your best bet.
And because the gelatin face mask removes skin as it is peeled off, the process can result in red patches. This discoloration is only temporary but we suggest you do your first peel at night before bed. That way, you don’t have to go anywhere and your skin will have time to fully repair itself.
It’s also important that you don’t use flavored or colored gelatin. Those additives can stain your skin which may require several days to completely remove. Stick to the plain old, unflavored, uncolored gelatin and you’ll be fine.
How To Make And Use Your Own Gelatin Face Mask
Here’s what you’ll need to mix your own gelatin face mask:
- 1 package unflavored, uncolored, food-grade gelatin. You should be able to buy this in any grocery store or market.
- Whole or 2% milk. Really any type of milk will work, but the more fat and lactic acid the better. That’s why we suggest whole milk.
- Measuring spoons
- Small microwave-safe bowl or cup
- Honey (optional)
- Old makeup brush (optional)
- Measure 1 tablespoon of gelatin into your microwave-safe bowl or cup.
- Add 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Mix well until the gelatin takes on a thick, goopy, glue-like consistency.
- Microwave the mixture for 15 seconds.
- Remove the bowl or cup from the microwave. Be careful, it may be hot.
- Test the temperature by sticking a finger or two into the gelatin. It should be warm to the touch but shouldn’t be so hot that it burns. At the same time, it shouldn’t be too cool or the gelatin won’t set up right. If the mixture is too hot, let it cool before testing it again. If the mixture is too cool, microwave it in five-second intervals until it’s just right.
- Optional: Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey. Be sure to mix well so the honey is completely dissolved.
Let the mixture dry for fifteen minutes. Once the allotted time has passed, start at the bottom (you jawbones and your chin) and peel the mask upward. When you’re finished, you can rinse off any excess with lukewarm water. It’s recommended to not use any cleanser at this point as it may irritate the tender skin. Finish the process by splashing your face with cool water to close and tighten pores. If you absolutely have to leave the house after peeling off the gelatin face mask, be sure to apply an SPF 30 or 45 sunscreen to protect the newly-exposed skin.
As fun as making your own gelatin face mask can be, sometimes you need a more powerful way to keep your skin smooth, healthy, and wrinkle-free. That takes us into our next section.
The Hydro-Jelly Mask Making Machine
While conventional face masks might start with a synthetic base material that provide minimal benefits to your skin, The natural Jelly face masks start with a nourishing hydrogel base. This hydrogel material is made with plant cellulose - an organic polymer that makes up plant cell walls and keeps our masks pieced together - and soothing aloe juice. You use this natural material because it absorbs the ingredients and lets them slowly penetrate your skin upon application. As you wear these masks, you will notice that the longer you wear them, the material gets thinner because your skin is absorbing the ingredients from the hydrogel. The colors of the masks come from the natural ingredients used. Because they contain no toxic chemicals, synthetic dyes, or harmful ingredients, The jelly natural face masks are beneficial for all skin types. Another huge plus to the material these are made from? Good for the planet - these babies are biodegradable. Yay! Without further ado, we’ll introduce you to the hydrogel jelly Masks DIY machine goodies
