Why Linseed?
Linseed is an excellent source of vitamin E, potassium, magnesium and essential fatty acids. Apart from its internal use, linseed can be used topically as well because it has amazing effects on the skin.
The most important component of linseed is phytoestrogen. This component has the ability to improve complexion and improve the elasticity of the skin, making it look younger, smooth and glowing. They activate the process of regeneration of skin, hair and nails.
Linseed has deep penetrating effects which allow it to enter inside the subcutaneous tissue, helping with wrinkle removal, particularly in the areas which are most prone to wrinkles.
How To Make And Use The Linseed Mask
Buy whole linseed seeds and grind them every 2-3 days in a coffee mill. Keep them in a cool and dark place, tightly closed, for up to year. If you choose ground seeds keep them in the fridge because they can easily get spoiled.
Your mask should be prepared in the morning.
Take a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of linseed and cover with 1/3 cup of boiled water. Shake well the bowl for several minutes and then cover with napkin. Let it stay until the evening.
In the evening strain the mixture. The gelatinous water produced by the linseed is what you need. Apply it on your face and neck with a cotton ball. You don`t have to avoid the eye area because linseed water is completely safe. Just make sure it does not enter your eye.
When the first layer is dried, apply another coating. Repeat 5 times. Try not t smile or talk while the mask is on your face. Finally, wash your face with water which has previously been boiled and then cooled to room temperature. Apply some moisturizer, serum or oil on your face.
