Gelatin mask

 The fact is we all are different. I am meaning us=women. We have different types of skin, different bodies, etc. 

Some of us are luckier. The others are like me. I know I'm not ugly but also I know my + and -. 

Many of my friends in Russia have permanent eyebrows, always nails polished, hair highlighted etc. 

I also wouldn’t mind permanent my eyebrows but my face (us maybe all faces in the world) is asymmetrical. I am afraid to do something really permanent, that I or time cannot change. So I am using a dye (eyelash & eyebrow tint), it’s ok. 

Another my concern is the skin (face skin). My skin is not really bad but bad enough to make me think of it. 

That’s why I became very interested in the book “The age fix” as soon as I saw it. 

The author describes different types of techniques, products, remedies and gadgets to help women look better. 

I am going to write down homemade masks and remedies from the book.

I am planning to post some of them here to memorize and for future use. 

So,

To unclog pores (“The age fix” by Anthony Youn, MD)

Mix 2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin with 2 teaspoons of milk. Warm it in the microwave for 10 sec, allow it to cool just a little bit, then apply it to your nose while still warm and sticky. 

Once it firms up, pull it off, along with blackheads.

Well, I tried it today.

I was afraid to warm the mask for 10 sec, did it for 5 sec. 5 sec is not enough. 

It’s better to apply a thicker layer, easier to pull it off later. 

I don’t know how good blackheads went off, but in general I did like the mask. 

By the end of the week I will try to do it again. 

Do you have a favorite mask/remedy to unclog pores? Please,  let me know (in a comment box).
