Curd mask can be used for any type of skin.

There are only two points in using the tool that should be considered:

1. if the skin type is dry, then cottage cheese should be selected high fat;
2. for oily skin, it is recommended to use cottage cheese with low fat content or fat-free.

Do not forget about the quality of all ingredients. It is a mistake to believe that since the product will be used externally, and not for food, its freshness is not mandatory. Only high-quality products should be used for the mask, otherwise there is a high risk of negative skin reactions. Curd is better to use homemade. The fact is that manufacturers of store products do not always guarantee one hundred percent naturalness. Often, preservatives are added to the curd, allowing you to store the product for longer, and this can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the mask.

The entire contents of the container are thoroughly mixed, the resulting mass is applied to the face for about 20 minutes.

A good whitening effect is famous for the mask with the addition of parsley. To prepare the mixture, finely chop a bunch of fresh herbs. If fresh is not available, you can brew dried parsley. To use dried herbs for making a mask, it is necessary to fill it with a small amount of boiling water and let stand 10 minutes.

When parsley is prepared, in a clean bowl, mix it with cottage cheese. No further ingredients can be added. The combination of these products is perfect for getting rid of age spots and whitening the skin. Such a mask should be applied if there is a desire to get rid of freckles.

An excellent whitening effect can be achieved by adding hydrogen peroxide to the curd mask. To prepare this mask, you need to mix one chicken yolk in 45 grams of cottage cheese. Since the yolk is used raw, the quality of this product should be absolute. Then you need to add 3-4 drops of hydrogen peroxide and mix the resulting mixture well. As much as possible this mask can remain on the face for 15 minutes. If the skin is sensitive, you should reduce the time to 7 - 10 minutes.

For normal skin or prone to dryness, a curd mask with the addition of carrot juice will be a good option. The amount of juice needed is small - one spoon, however, it should be freshly squeezed, not a store. In purchased juices very often there are practically no useful substances. In addition to a spoonful of carrot juice, add a spoonful of milk to the mask. Cottage cheese, carrot juice and milk are thoroughly mixed and applied to the face. After 15 minutes, the mask must be thoroughly washed off.

There are certain rules for the use of masks using cottage cheese for the face. The main one is that the mass is applied exclusively to cleansed skin. If even the smallest amount of makeup is present on the face, it must be completely removed. For this, micellar water, cleansing gels or tonics for removing makeup are suitable.

Regularity is very important in this matter. Even the most effective remedy will not work if applied from time to time. The best option is to use a curd mask once or twice a week. In this case, the course should be at least six sessions.

The correctness of the technique of applying the mask itself also matters. It must be applied from the chin to the temples with soft, neat movements. Next, you should move from the forehead to the temples and from the nose to the sides.
