Review of the best cosmetic facial milk

How to use facial milk correctly?

Correct use of purchased or self-prepared facial milk is extremely important if you do not want to be disappointed in the product. Many women make a big mistake, regarding it as a panacea. In fact, if you use only this product, you can contaminate your skin and worsen its condition even more.

Basic rules of use:

Not just any milk can remove decorative cosmetics (makeup) from the skin, so in some cases you should first use micellar water;
The cleanser helps expand and open pores, after which it removes deep impurities from them;
Apply the milk to your face using a regular cotton pad. You need to moisten it generously, not sparing the cosmetic product;
Oat milk copes most effectively with the problems of sebaceous secretion, so those with oily facial skin are better off using it;
After using the product, be sure to use a tonic - it will help close the cleansed pores. If you skip this step, the situation with comedones may only get worse. You can also make your own tonic;
Do not neglect the washing procedure, especially if you do not use micellar water;
Milk made by yourself does not last long - only a week. In extreme cases, 10-12 days. Therefore, there is no need to cook it in large portions - you will simply have to dispose of the leftovers after the expiration date;
The shelf life of a regular purchased facial composition should be checked on its label.

These simple rules will help you get the maximum benefit from using the product, and will protect you from common mistakes that are made by thousands of women.

Hydrolate

A natural cosmetic product that has become very trendy in recent years is hydrolate. It is obtained from different parts of the plant (stems, flowers, fruits, leaves, roots), practically “pulling out” all the benefits, precipitating them into distilled water.

It is enough to moisten a cotton pad with this water and enjoy not only the most gentle cleansing of the skin, but also the charming aroma that comes from it. Suitable for everyday use.

Can be used for skin of any type and age;
Do not irritate sensitive skin;
Removes unstable cosmetics;
They fill the skin with the necessary moisture and vitaminize it.

If you choose a product with a certain “bouquet” of plants, you can additionally achieve the effect of rejuvenation, nutrition, and toning.

How to prepare milk correctly?

The easiest way to prepare the product is to “squeeze” it from certain raw materials. You can consider this option using oatmeal as an example.

Please note that you will need the most ordinary Hercules flakes, but in no case instant oatmeal.

Making milk with your own hands is quite simple, but it does not happen quickly:

Pour flakes into a half-liter jar up to half the volume of the container (even less is possible);
Fill to the brim with warm water (but not boiling water, so that the mass does not turn into porridge or paste the next day!);
Mix the resulting mixture with a spoon and place it in a cool, dark place for a day;
After the required period, remove the jar from the storage location;
You will see a white thick liquid on the surface - this is milk;
Strain the mixture, additionally squeezing out the cake (you can use it as a scrub for the face or body);
Place the strained mass back into a clean jar and let it brew for another day;
Now you will see that the liquid has divided into two more phases - one more transparent, the other rich white;
Try to carefully pour the white phase into another container;
Place it in the refrigerator;
Use the resulting liquid within a week (no more).

The advantage of this homemade product is that it can also mattify the skin. Oatmeal product is most suitable for caring for oily or combination skin.

TOLERIANE DERMO—CLEANSER LA ROCHE—POSAY

Many ladies believe that they need to purchase different products to remove eye and face makeup. However, this is not always the case. La Roche-Posay milk is a universal remedy. It is produced on the basis of thermal water. This means that it can be used on sensitive areas of the skin. According to user reviews, the milk cleanses well and does not cause irritation. Even allergy sufferers can use the product, since it contains no fragrances.

The manufacturer produces packages containing 30 ampoules. Each contains 5 ml of milk. This packaging is convenient for travel. The high cost of the product does not make it less popular.

Price - 1110 rub.

Making a coconut remedy

For dry skin, coconut oil is more suitable. But in order for it to be suitable for cleansing and washing, the fatty oil must be extracted from it.

You can do it this way:

Crack the coconut fruit and extract the liquid from it;
Separate the nut pulp from the peel;
Place the pulp and coconut milk in a blender and grind;
Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and add hot water (it should cover two fingers of shavings);
Leave the mixture to cool for a couple of hours;
Move the container to the refrigerator;
In the morning you will see that a dense “film” has formed on the surface of the mass. This is natural coconut oil. There is no need to throw it away - it is much better to use it in hair masks or for sun exposure on the body;
The rest of the liquid is pure coconut milk, which can be safely used for dry and sensitive skin.

It is important to use the product after washing or treating your face with micellar water.

You can also prepare an egg, cognac, herbal or flaxseed facial treatment, depending on the characteristics and needs of the skin.

Fluid

Makeup removers, proudly called “fluid,” can be found in various forms. There are two-phase fluids, which differ from conventional lotions in their lower oil content, as well as cream-like ones. Both are applied to a sponge, then wiped over the face.

Such special lotions solve many skin problems:

remove cosmetics of varying durability (even remove waterproof mascara);
have anti-aging components (collagens, coenzymes);
nourish and moisturize the skin, smooth it out, prevent premature aging;
filter UV rays, eliminating photoaging.

The fluid contains plant extracts, as well as placental formulas, which are ideal for women aged 30+.

Rules for preparing a quality product

To ensure that your facial cosmetic product is of the highest quality and effective, it is enough to follow certain rules during its preparation.

Explore them:

Use only high-quality raw materials - a surrogate will not work, as will products “stuffed” with chemicals. For obvious reasons, making cosmetics from them at home makes no sense;
Follow the given technologies and do not indulge in gags - until you have really interesting knowledge in the field of home cosmetology, it is not advisable to experiment;
Use the resulting product within the specified period (no longer than 10 days), otherwise you will get the opposite effect, which is detrimental to your skin;
Try to be careful and take your time when doing things like this;
Do not keep the compositions in the refrigerator or a dark, cool place during the preparation stage - for example, oat milk can ferment quite quickly if you forget about it, or decide to let it brew for longer than expected. Using such a remedy will be unpleasant and ineffective;
Change the compositions and keep in mind that the skin quickly adapts to the same type of care. Soon she will stop responding to it if you “feed” her only oat, almond or coconut products for months and years.

Do not forget that this remedy is not a panacea at all, but rather an auxiliary product. Therefore, it should not be regarded as multifunctional. Nobody can cancel the need for weekly exfoliation of the skin and daily high-quality skin care, and one milk cannot do all the above actions for you.

Pay special attention to the purchased product if you decide to refrain from preparing it yourself.

Avoid products with a high content of parabens and silicones in their composition, refrain from purchasing “2 in 1” or “3 in 1” products, since their effectiveness is extremely doubtful, do not focus only on price or brand. Be sure to study “live” reviews about cosmetics on the Internet.
