Chamomile for Facial Skin Care

Chamomile is one of the most popular plants in cosmetology, both at home and industrially. This wonderful remedy has a soothing, disinfecting, and slight whitening effect, making it indispensable for facial skin care.

Chamomile is especially useful for oily skin that is prone to acne and "blackheads."

CHAMOMILE DECOCTION FOR THE FACE

To prepare the decoction, take 1-2 tablespoons of crushed dried or fresh chamomile and pour it with 1 cup of boiling water. Infuse for 20 minutes, then strain. Soak cotton pads in the decoction and wipe your cleansed face 2-3 times a day.

Frozen chamomile decoction will also be an excellent remedy for oily skin. Pour the decoction into ice cube trays, freeze it, and then wipe your cleansed face with an ice cube 1-2 times a day for 5-10 seconds.

FACE MASKS WITH CHAMOMILE

For preparing masks, you can use a strong chamomile decoction: 3 tablespoons of crushed raw material per 0.5 cup of boiling water. Infuse for 20 minutes and strain through cheesecloth.

Protein mask for oily skin

Whip 1 egg white to a stiff foam, add 5 drops of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of chamomile decoction. Mix until smooth.

Apply the mask to the cleansed face for 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water. This mask effectively degreases the skin, cleans pores, and tightens them.

Yolk mask for dry skin

Mix 1 raw chicken yolk with 1 tablespoon of honey, add 1 tablespoon of strong chamomile decoction, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of corn starch. Mix until achieving a uniform consistency.

Apply to the cleansed face for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with cool water and apply a nourishing cream. This mask soothes irritated skin, eliminates flakiness, and smooths fine wrinkles.

Effective disinfecting mask for oily skin

Brew 3 tablespoons of chamomile with a cup of boiling water and infuse until it cools to about +40°C. Then strain through cheesecloth. Use the remaining chamomile mash for the mask: place warm mash on one piece of cheesecloth, cover with a second piece, and apply it to the cleansed face for 20 minutes.

After the procedure, remove the mask and rinse the face with cool water. The disinfecting mask can be done 2-3 times a week until the skin is completely cleared of acne and blackheads.

Chamomile for the eyes

To reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes, you can use a compress with chamomile decoction: soak cotton pads in a weak decoction (1 teaspoon per 1 cup of boiling water).

Important! For this procedure, the infusion should be at room temperature!

Place the soaked cotton pads on closed eyes for 10-15 minutes. Relax and enjoy the treatment. After that, rinse your eyes with cool water.

Cream for dry skin with chamomile

To prepare a nourishing cream for dry skin, use chamomile. You will need 50 g of fresh butter, 2-3 tablespoons of olive or almond oil. Place the oils in a water bath over low heat, stirring constantly, add 2 raw yolks and 2 tablespoons of honey.

When the mixture becomes homogeneous, remove it from the heat and add 1 teaspoon of glycerin, 2 tablespoons of strong chamomile decoction, and 1 bottle (30 ml) of camphor alcohol.

Store this cream in the refrigerator. Shelf life is up to 6 months at a temperature of +3-5°C. The cream nourishes dry skin excellently, making it soft and smooth.
