It is practically impossible to overestimate the effect that whey has on the skin of the face: this product contains more than 200 substances: minerals, vitamins of groups E, C, B, A, chemical elements, beneficial bacteria, etc.

The value of whey also lies in the fact that it is suitable for any skin of the face without causing allergic reactions.
In order to preserve vitamins and minerals in the product, which are destroyed by heating, the reverse is prepared in a cold way.
- Kefir in a paper bag must be frozen in the freezer.
- Place the cooled briquette in a colander covered with gauze, place a container under it and defrost it.
- When the product thaws, whey will collect in the container, and cottage cheese will remain in the colander, which can be eaten.
Based on the resulting rich skimmed milk, you can make face care products, not forgetting about the neck and décolleté area.
Milk serum for facial skin care
Using reverse in home recipes for masks and scrubs, after a while, you can achieve pleasant results, however, in order for the effect to be noticeable, you need to be patient. Over time, the effect of the product becomes more pronounced.

Masks
To keep the face young, the following composition is also used:
- 2 tablespoons of fat cottage cheese;
- 2 tablespoons of homemade skim milk;
- 3 drops of olive oil.
The original ingredients are mixed with each other, the mask is applied to the face for 20 minutes, then washed off. The result will be noticeable if the product is applied up to 2 times a week. Care should not be taken more often, otherwise the skin will be oversaturated with substances and will not perceive them properly. After the procedure, it is recommended to apply a cream suitable for the skin containing tocopherol and retinol on the face.
In order to better absorb the beneficial components and open up the pores well, the face must be cleaned of decorative cosmetics, slightly steaming the skin. After completing the preparatory procedures, you can start applying the composition.

After 15 minutes, the product is washed off with cool water. The procedure should be performed 2 times a week, the duration of the course depends on the desired result.
To moisturize and nourish dry skin well, you can prepare a mask with the addition of banana, apricot and strawberries by mixing chopped fruit with milk skim.
The resulting mask is applied to the face and neck for 20 minutes. In winter weather, you can add a few drops of glycerin or vegetable oil to the mixture.
To make the skin velvety, an ether-based mask is used: for this you need to grind 50 grams of dry green peas and, mixing it with 1 tbsp. l. milk skim milk, add 2-3 drops of grapefruit oil. Apply the resulting product to the skin for twenty minutes.
To solve the problem of oily skin, whey will help if you add egg white beaten with a fork and a little potato or corn starch to it.
In addition to narrowing the pores, the mask will relieve oily sheen and tighten the contours of the face. To produce a rejuvenating effect on the dermis and get rid of wrinkles, use a mask with vegetables: for this, take pepper, cucumber or eggplant and grind it in a blender.
The resulting gruel must be added to the milk return and applied to the face for 20 minutes. The fruits must be cleaned of seeds: they contain toxic substances! The effect of this recipe will be noticeable after seven days.
