How to cook?
There are three ways to create such a dairy product. It is worth considering each of them.
- Get fresh kefir. Its packaging can be any: polyethylene, plastic, paper. Place the food in the freezer. It should completely harden. When this happens, let it thaw and strain.
By making whey in this way, you will retain all the beneficial elements in it. It can be applied immediately. It is not necessary to additionally process such a product (for example, using heat).
- Pour fresh milk out of a carton or bag into a container with a lid and leave it warm: it should turn sour. To make this happen faster, you can put rye bread there (a small piece will be enough). After waiting for sourness, put the container with milk on low heat. Curdled milk forms whey and curd. When this happens, remove the container from the stove and wait for it to cool. Then take cheesecloth (you need several layers) and strain the curdled milk through it. The result is a curd mass that can be eaten, as well as the necessary dairy product.
- Pour fresh milk into a container, boil it. Stir constantly and add the lemon juice (½ lemon). Remove the curdled milk from the stove, wait for it to cool and strain the product as described above.
Application methods
Milk serum can be used to wipe the skin, wash your face, make masks, compresses, and peeling products from it. Products with such a component are suitable for different types of skin, but if it is dry, it is better not to use oily additional ingredients. Let's consider the most popular methods of using this component.
Washing
This option is the most straightforward. You can wash your face with milk whey twice a day: after waking up and before going to bed. However, once a day is usually sufficient. In the morning you will need to wash with water. Then remove the liquid from the skin with a towel and apply the serum. Rinse off excess product with water or remove using a tissue. In the evening before using the serum, you will need to cleanse your face more thoroughly, using not only water for this.
Ice
The serum can be exposed to low temperatures and you will end up with ice cubes. Such a remedy is usually used after waking up. It effectively tones the skin, helps to strengthen blood vessels. This product can also be used in the evening: so you can remove signs of fatigue from your face after a hard day at work. It will become more rosy, fresher.
Toner and lotion
With the help of such a dairy product, dead skin particles can be removed. Take cotton wool, dip it in the product, remove the excess and wipe your face (movements should be massage). Attention should also be paid to the neckline and neck. Hold the cotton wool longer on areas where there are defects, such as acne or age spots.
Scrubs
To make a scrub with which you can thoroughly cleanse the skin, you should mix a dairy product with a base. The resulting product will need to be applied to the face and gently rubbed. Places where the skin is sensitive should be avoided. The scrub should work within a few minutes. Then remove it with warm water and moisturize your face with a cream. If your skin is normal or oily, mix the dairy product with coffee grounds (which have already been used) or sea salt. For owners of sensitive or dry skin, rye bread is more suitable, more precisely, its pulp. You can use ground oatmeal instead.
