Cornmeal contains vitamins B2, B1, E, PP. It is rich in minerals: magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, etc. It also contains beta-carotene (provitamin A), which is rightfully called the “elixir of youth”, which means it must be included in beauty recipes.
You can buy flour and starch at any grocery store. In addition, their price pleases with availability, and a large number of masks can be prepared from one package. But since the shelf life of products is often short, it is better to use them not only for beauty, but also for culinary purposes.
Corn flour in skin care: what to combine with?
In order to prepare a healing composition from flour, it must be diluted with a liquid. Ideally, you should get a mixture that resembles thick sour cream in its consistency. As for the liquid, it is selected taking into account the characteristics of your dermis.
Oily skin, the beauty of which directly depends on the regular use of matting and drying preparations, will respond with “gratitude” to plain water. If desired, you can add lemon juice (freshly squeezed) to it: 5-6 drops per tablespoon. For greater efficiency, yogurt, kefir, whey are used instead of water. Dairy products are ideal for skin that is prone to oily sheen, blackheads and pimples. Natural juices (grapefruit, strawberry, potato, kombucha) cope no worse with all the problems of oily and mixed cover.
If you are the owner of aging skin and try to include nourishing and tightening products in your care as often as possible, then use full-fat milk, cream or sour cream.
These components are also suitable for nourishing and saturating normal and dry skin with useful substances. With overdried skin, prone to peeling, cornmeal is successfully diluted with vegetable and fruit juices: carrot, cabbage, squash, grape, apricot, orange.

Regular implementation of a simple procedure guarantees a lasting result. A mixture of natural ingredients has a degreasing effect, dries and mattifies the skin, and soothes inflammation.
Instead of cornmeal, beauty recipes for oily coverage may include starch. For its cultivation, water, juices or sour-milk products are used. Everything is exactly the same as with flour: the liquid is selected taking into account the condition and type of cover. The starch mixture has a viscous consistency.
To prepare a composition for oily skin, to starch diluted with water (1 tablespoon), add a teaspoon of sour cream (non-greasy), one egg white and 3-5 drops of aloe juice. The mixture is applied to the skin of the face and left for 20-25 minutes. When washing off, use cool water: soap is not required in this case. The mask will make the cover matte and smooth, eliminate shine, reduce inflammation and irritation, provided that you use it regularly in your care.
