Homemade ricotta lovers probably have a lot of whey. If the production of fermented milk products is not your strong point, today this very trendy healthy product can be bought ready-made or even quickly frozen with a good kefir. So set a violent cosmetic fantasy in motion and start rejuvenating, taking the following recipes as a starting point.
The serum itself is a true cosmetic storehouse of all types of nutrients that tone, nourish and heal all skin types. In addition to lactic acid, there is a lot of trace elements, beauty vitamins A and C and the famous group of vitamins B. There is also choline in the serum which regulates the activity of the sebaceous glands and is responsible for our young and flowering type of niacin.
Most often, the whey remains after making homemade cottage cheese. If you are not a fan of such complex culinary delights, try to get this miraculous elixir from a good fresh kefir. To do this, put a package of kefir in the freezer, in the fast freezing section. Wait until the kefir has completely hardened, put it on a sieve lined with several layers of gauze and let the whey drain.
Make sure you smell the finished product and taste it gently. The serum should be refreshing and pleasantly acidic. He shouldn't give away rotten and pinch his tongue.
If the serum is a success, then forward, towards great cosmetic goals, armed with imagination and means with UV filters, as no one has canceled the protection from the sun and even with the acid cure.
