"Author of the article: Veronika Belova": Graduated with honors from the LOKON Academy of Beauty Industry. Mother of a beautiful child. I like to experiment, I constantly try different products, masks (including cooking with my own hands), techniques that can make us beautiful and healthy. I'm in

Greetings.

I will continue my series of “witchy” reviews on all sorts of herbs and natural recipes

And the main character of today's review is parsley. Simple parsley, which is not only the most fortified herb, giving familiar dishes an unusual taste, but is also actively used in cosmetology. Moreover, as I have personally seen, parsley can easily surpass most bleaching agents in its effectiveness.

What does parsley look like?

A nice grass of rich green color with elastic leaves of an unusual shape, and has a characteristic spicy smell. Precisely because appearance, parsley is often used as a garnish for dishes.

In terms of taste, parsley is... uh, unique - spicy, sweetish, but with a bitter aftertaste. I don’t think that it can be eaten just like that, separately from other dishes, but chopped greens can be added to taste anywhere; most of all, I like soups and salads with the addition of this spice.

Properties of parsley:

Parsley contains a lot of useful substances: vitamins A, C, E, K, B vitamins, folic acid, niacin, magnesium, potassium, calcium, sulfur, chlorine, phosphorus, sodium, iron, iodine, manganese, copper, zinc, fluorine . Parsley improves appetite, helps with anemia, anorexia, depression, ulcers and gastritis. Used to whiten teeth and strengthen gums. Normalizes metabolism and the menstrual cycle in women. Used as a breath freshener and helps even out the smell of garlic.

IMPORTANT! Despite the fact that parsley is “natural, not chemical, accessible, simple, fast and effective - take it, use it and get results,” there are a couple of nuances that I want to mention in advance:

1. Before using any natural recipe need to check for allergies on him. Most often, it is enough to apply a little parsley juice (or mask) to the crook of your elbow. If after a couple of hours no unpleasant sensations appear, then you can smear your face. But, again, it is necessary to monitor the reaction during the entire period of use of the product. After all, industrial products check, test, determine the optimal concentration of ingredients and all that, and with natural recipes you experiment yourself.

2. A MUST HAVE to do in spring and summer use sunscreen, if you decide to use the recipes from this review. Do not combine bleaching freckles/pigment spots and tanning. The skin becomes more sensitive to the sun and needs protection.

3. Don't expect results from the first use. No comments here, this is obvious.

Parsley can be used in cosmetology in different ways. Boil a decoction, squeeze the juice, make your own hydrosol, or simply grind the leaves and make masks... the only difference is in the “aggressiveness” of the resulting product. In any case, anyone who wants to whiten something can find a way to use parsley that suits their skin type.

Let's go in order.

For the face, parsley decoction can be used as a tonic, added to masks (made of clay or oatmeal, for example), use diluted for washing, make compresses for the skin around the eyes. The main properties of the decoction are whitening and toning.

You can rinse your hair with the broth after washing to make it shine.

The decoction can also be taken orally, but I am not a doctor and will not recommend doing herbal medicine on your own.

How to prepare a decoction? As easy as pie.

Finely chop the washed parsley and add water.

Bring to a boil over low heat, simmer for another 5 minutes. Then remove from heat, cover with a lid and leave for 20-30 minutes.

Pour the finished broth into a jar and can be used. It tastes and smells exactly like parsley, only less intense, and the color ranges from pale green to yellow. The decoction is stored for a week in the refrigerator.

The remaining parsley can be thrown away... or cool a little and make a compress for the eyes. The skin of the eyelids instantly becomes velvety, and the compress is especially good at helping against eye fatigue

Part of the broth can be frozen and used as ice for washing. I have already written about how to properly wash your face with ice. in other reviews, so I’ll duplicate it in the quote:

Three rules for washing with ice: move the cube only along massage lines, do not put pressure on the skin, do not linger “in one place.”

They quickly stroked the skin, removed the ice, and began massaging the next “line.” If you continuously massage one point, you can chill the nerve.

Pure parsley juice, of course, has the most powerful whitening properties, since it contains the highest concentration of active ingredients.

I extract juice different ways. If there is not much parsley or the juice is needed for one-time use, then I take a garlic press and crush the leaves and stem cut into pieces.

With this method, the juice is squeezed out reluctantly, but to spot-smear a couple of spots, this is enough.

How to use?

Lubricate freckles, age spots, post-acne. After 20-30 minutes you need to wash your face, because the juice may sting the skin slightly and this makes it seem like itching. You can also add it to masks, but remember that the juice is more aggressive than the decoction, that is, you need to take into account the sensitivity of the skin.

When I first decided to use parsley, decoction and juice, I didn’t think it was very effective remedy. After all, even an effective whitening cream is quite difficult to find, and this is just greenery... But, fortunately, I was wrong.

A year ago, I managed to completely remove all the existing freckles and post-acne that I had “accumulated” over the years, thanks to parsley.

All autumn, winter and spring she was a “pale-faced aristocrat”. Of course, in the summer I got freckles again, just a little, I like them... but, if anything happens, then while there is parsley, I am actively stockpiling “brightening juice” for the winter.

To do this, I simply freeze it.

In order not to bother with a garlic press, you can pass the parsley through a meat grinder or chop it in a blender, and then squeeze out the juice through cheesecloth. It turns out a rich green color, with pulp.

All that remains is to pour it into molds and freeze.

To enhance the whitening effect, you can add lemon juice.

This parsley juice ice can be used for facial massage, or defrosted in cubes and added to masks. The main thing is not to leave the juice on the skin for a long time.

Parsley hydrolate.

If parsley decoction and juice are not suitable for your skin, you can try making hydrolate, it is gentler on the skin, but also has whitening properties. I showed how to prepare hydrolate at home using an example. nettle

Whitening mask for face and body.

It's simple and effective mask, which can lighten not only freckles/pigment spots/post-acne, but also whiten “intimate” parts of the body.

For example, skin can darken over time from shaving (armpits), in obese people from constant friction (inner thighs) and even due to hormonal changes (perineum in women after childbirth). And, of course, there are ways to return the skin to its “before” state.

For a whitening mask you need only 3 ingredients: sour cream (can be replaced with kefir), lemon juice, parsley juice. You need to mix the ingredients in equal proportions, for example, a teaspoon.

The mask turns out liquid, you can add starch for thickness or apply a thin layer so that it does not flow.

The mask should be applied to the face for 15-20 minutes, depending on skin type. The mask is very effective. If you do it 3 times a week, the results will not be long in coming.

The use of this mixture for whitening parts of the body is slightly different from face masks.

I bleached the skin that was slightly darkened from shaving my armpits. To do this, the mixture must be applied either to a cotton pad/gauze and compressed for 30-40 minutes on the darkened area, or lubricated on the skin and wrapped under cling film. It may sting, but overall no discomfort. Within a month, my skin became light again, and I switched to sugaring so that it doesn't get dark anymore.

The same manipulations should be carried out if the inner part of the thigh has darkened or... there, sir

But it is necessary to take into account that the skin is sensitive, which means you cannot overexpose the mask with the thoughts “well, in 3 hours everything will definitely turn white,” the result will not be from the first use, but it will be, the main thing is regularity.

Additionally, you can, or rather need to, use scrubs.

Drying parsley.

I haven’t been able to dry the parsley yet, because I buy the greens at the market, and then they put it in water. Parsley that has stood in water simply turns yellow when dried and loses all its properties.

If you decide to prepare parsley for the winter, then you only need to dry freshly picked, washed greens, then even in dried form its properties are preserved and you can either eat it or prepare a decoction or hydrosol.

What else to write..that seems to be all.

I repeat, I myself would never have thought that parsley was so effective in skin whitening if I had not experienced the effect on myself. Many whitening creams, for example, clogged my pores, causing pimples, but there are no such problems with parsley. Personally, my skin does not react well to it, and on my own I can recommend this greenery “for use.”

If you are not ready to experiment with natural recipes, I highly recommend taking a closer look at lactic acid. With the help of lactic acid, you can also successfully whiten the skin, make peeling, pedicure socks, tonic for the face and hair. You can see visual photos of the result in the review.

If you have any questions, ask in the comments.

Thank you for attention!

Various pigment formations - freckles, moles, birthmarks, chloasma - sometimes serve as a real decoration of appearance, but can cause discomfort and medical problems. When bleaching, parsley is one of the simple and affordable options to get rid of growth, which causes unpleasant troubles for its owner.

Red spots on the face do not always seem attractive to their pretty owners. And, despite the fact that red-haired, freckled girls are considered very pretty, many of them devote all their energy to getting rid of their freckles and clearing their faces until they are white. How can this be accomplished? We will tell you about this.

What are freckles?

Freckles are not a defect, they are just a special pigment that we receive from nature as a gift at birth. Theoretically, freckles can appear in people with any hair and skin color, but most often red-haired and fair-haired people become their owners. These “sun spots” usually appear most prominently on the forehead, cheekbones, and nose.

Not so long ago, according to scientists, ultraviolet radiation was considered the main cause of the appearance of freckles, but today there are many more reasons being discovered:
- hereditary tendency;
- sudden changes in hormonal levels;
- stress and nervous disorders;
— diseases of the liver and gastrointestinal tract;
- skin problems;
- B12 deficiency in the body;
- cosmetic procedures;
- use of antibiotics.

Still, the first thing you should do before getting rid of freckles is to visit the appropriate specialists - a dermatologist or cosmetologist. They will help you find out if you have any health problems that caused the appearance of freckles. Indeed, in this case, you will first need to eliminate the lesion, and only then the freckles themselves.

The first step is prevention

To reduce the number of freckles on your face to a minimum, professionals suggest first protecting yourself from “provoking” factors. And the main one is ultraviolet rays. As soon as the warm season arrives, you immediately need to take all the necessary safety measures: use sunscreen and other cosmetics, wear hats, consume large quantities of vitamins A and C.

The second step is getting rid of freckles

Many cosmetics companies now offer you all sorts of ready-made products to get rid of freckles. But all these products can be used for a maximum of a week, since they contain large quantities of potent substances that have a negative effect on the body. However, they do not promise 100% removal of freckles, so you can use such products only at your own peril and risk.

Cosmetic procedures for getting rid of freckles, such as peeling or cryoapplication, should also not be abused, as they can also lead to problems with the skin and the body as a whole.
