Classic mask
The recipe for this mask is as simple as it is effective: just dissolve about 10-12 grams of brewer’s yeast in half a glass of warm water.
First, add the yeast to the bowl, then gradually add the water, while dissolving the yeast with your fingers. Stop when the mixture reaches a creamy consistency.
Then apply the mixture to your face, avoiding the eye area. Wait for the mask to dry completely (about 15-20 minutes), then rinse with plenty of water and apply a moisturizer.
Mask for oily skin
The purifying properties of brewer’s yeast also make it an excellent ally against excess sebum and, consequently, against acne and enlarged pores.
Dissolve a block of brewer’s yeast in lukewarm water, let it rest for a couple of minutes, then add the juice of half a lemon.
Apply the mask to your face for 15 minutes, then rinse with plenty of water and apply a moisturizer.
This mask should only be applied at night. Lemon is photosensitizing and makes the skin more sensitive to the sun’s rays.
Yeast and yogurt mask
Dissolve 10 grams of brewer’s yeast in a little warm milk, and mix with 50 grams of natural yogurt.
Once you have obtained a smooth mixture, apply it to your face and let it dry for 15 minutes before rinsing.
