Lovers of homemade cottage cheese probably have a lot of whey. If the production of fermented dairy products is not your strong point, then today this very modern healthy product can be bought ready-made or even quickly frozen from good kefir. Then set in motion a violent cosmetic fantasy and start rejuvenating, starting with the following recipes.
The serum itself is a real storehouse of cosmetics of all kinds of nutrients that stimulate, nourish and heal all skin types. In addition to lactic acid, there are a number of trace elements, beauty vitamins A and C and the famous group of B vitamins. There is also serum choline which regulates the activity of the sebaceous glands and is responsible for the small and flowering type of niacin.
Most of the time, whey remains after making homemade cottage cheese. If you are not a fan of such complex gastronomic delights, then try to get this miraculous elixir from good fresh kefir. To do this, put a pack of kefir in the freezer, in the quick freezer compartment. Wait until the kefir is completely hard, put it in a colander coated with several layers of gauze and let the whey drain.
Be sure to smell the finished product and try it gently. The serum should be refreshing and pleasantly sour. She should not rot or bite her tongue.
If the serum is successful, then proceed to great cosmetic achievements, armed with imagination and means with UV filters, since no one canceled the protection from the sun, even with acid care.
Serum plus yolk - and wrinkles will definitely be good
- 1 egg yolk (if you do not like the yolk, replace it with alcohol-free aloe vera gel in the composition),
- 2-3 teaspoons of fresh whey
- 1⁄2 teaspoon wild rose oil (natural sunflower oil, soy, evening primrose oil)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon argan oil (or any other oil, including good butter).
Grate the yolk and oils vigorously and mix with a little whey.
Apply on wet skin (face, neck, décolleté, hands . . . ) for 20-30 minutes. Remove the residue with a serum-soaked cotton, wait another 5-10 minutes and rinse with cool water.
Rejuvenation course: after 2-3 days within a month. UV protection is essential.

Dilute the pea flour with whey until it becomes a porridge.
Pea flour can be replaced or mixed with chickpeas and / or oatmeal. If your skin needs more cleansing, add a little rye flour.

Wet the tips of your fingers lightly with the serum and roll the oatmeal along the massage lines.
Do this 1-2 times every 10-14 days, depending on the needs of your skin, and, again, do not forget about UV protection.
Extraordinary rejuvenation for special occasions
Mix a tablespoon of beaten egg white with a teaspoon of whey and thicken the mask into a not too thick porridge with a mixture of wheat flour and oats.
Apply a thin layer on the skin (face, neck, arms, shoulders, décolleté . . . ), let it dry, but do not harden with a crust and rinse with cool water.
Moisturize your skin with a light gel or any other product. Do not use products that are too greasy and heavy, so as not to lose all the firming effect.
