RESEPI FACIAL MASK... BUAT SENDIRI DI RUMAH GUNA BAHAN SEMULAJADI

Facial Mask

Mask muka sangat penting untuk merawat (treat) masalah kulit muka. Ramai orang tidak tahu dan sering mengabaikan pemakaian Facial Mask

Tahu tak kenapa kita pakai mask..??

Kulit muka sentiasa terdedah pada persekitaran setiap hari seperti habuk, pancaran matahari, cuaca panas atau sejuk serta pelbagai lagi yang menjadikan sel-sel kulit rosak. Sel-sel kulit yang rosak boleh meyebabkan radikal bebas mudah terbentuk menjadikan kulit cepat kusam, berkedut, kering serta tidak cantik.

Mask biasanya mengandungi bahan-bahan aktif seperti vitamin dan mineral untuk memberi khasiat kepada kulit yang biasanya tidak terdapat pada produk lain. Lagi pun produk-produk lain banyak yang dicuci yang mana bermaksud bahan-bahan akif ini turut di cuci maka tidak banyak vitamin dan mineral yang di serap kulit.

Selalunya kita sering katakan kita dah jaga muka kita setiap hari, kita pakai pencuci muka, toner dan pelembab. Tapi tahukan anda itu hanya penjagaan harian yang bertindak melindungi kulit secara biasa sahaja... bagaimana dengan sel-sel kulit mati, kaedah ini tidak membuang sel-sel kulit yang dah mati. 

Sel-sel kulit kita adalah hidup secara belahan mitosis iaitu dari satu membelah menjadi dua, dari dua menjadi empat dan seterusnya lapan dan 16.. Bagi kanak-kanak dan remaja pertumbuhan sel-sel sangat aktif dan cepat, tetapi bagi orang dewasa sel-sel sudah semakin perlahan. Ini menyebabkan orang dewasa perlukan vitamin dan mineral tambahan untuk merawat kulit mereka.

Orang dewasa juga banyak terdedah kepada persekitaran yang tidak sihat seperti sinaran Ultra violet, panas terlampau, angin sejuk, habuk dan sebagainya yang mana boleh menyebabkan pembentukan radikal bebas iaitu sel-sel mudah rosak..

Berikut adalah beberapa kesan photodamage  yang boleh menyebabkan masalah penuaan

         i. Age spot
         ii. pembentukan garis-garis halus permulaan kedutan
         iii. kulit kasar
         iv. kurang kekenyalan
          v. Erythema (kulit  kemerahan)
         vi. Kompleksi
         vii. Pigmentasi

Setiap produk rawatan muka tak akan lengkap tanpa mask...

Kenapa ye?

Kerana di dalam mask biasanya terdapat tambahan vitamin dan mineral yang diperlukan oleh kulit.Di dalam produk skincare harian peratus bahan-bahan ini tidak banyak dan biasanya terbuang begitu sahaja atau hanya sebagai pelindung kulit bukannya merawat kulit contohnya pencuci muka 

Facial Mask sebenarnya kita boleh buat sendiri di rumah..

Buat sendiri adalah lebih baik kerana menggunakan bahan-bahan semulajadi yang lebih selamat dan banyak khasiat. KIta boleh pilih sendiri bahan-bahan mengikut jenis kulit kita sendiri.Bahn-bahan boleh di dapati dari sekitar rumah je..

Kebanyakan mask kesukaan ramai orang adalah yang memberikan kesan melembab, menghaluskan serta mencerahkan kulit.

Contohnya : -

madu - melembab
Susu  - menegang
putih telur - menegang 
Lemon - mencerah / pigmentasi
Carrot - melembab + vitamin
Susu kambing - melembab/ vitamin A
Tea tree - jerawat /kulit berminyak
Cengkih - jerawat / kulit berminyak

Anda boleh cuba beberapa mask yang menggunakan bahan-bahan semulajadi di sekeliling kita mengikut jenis kulit.

Selamat Mencuba..
