What is a DIY Compressed Mask & PINCH ME Group

What's a Pinch Me? I belong to a group that reviews samples of products for free and once you create a profile you can begin to receive notice for products. The products can be of food,beauty,health,or lifestyle related. I'll provide my referral link at the end of the article if you'd like to sign up. Everything is free except your time.
I recently received a DIY Compressed mask from the Pinch Me group, and frankly I wasn't sure what they were. I decided to share this article after doing research since I was also asked by another person if I had heard of them. Simply put a DIY Compressed mask is an individually wrapped cellulose "paper" facial mask. This mask when soaked in your favorite "facial recipe" expands. One will then very slowly peel it apart and apply it to your face for skin treatment. These facial compressed masks can be purchased individually wrapped in bags of 50 or 100 for relatively cheap; I've seen them for $3.00 up to $12.00 or so. Why do people like them so much? People like them because the beauty market is expensive. Masks are very popular and often are not recyclable because of the kinds of products they are made of or what is applied to them. Along with the fact that many people love to use their own DIY skills to create just the right thing that works for their skin minus all the chemicals. To make a DIY mask one can add products like milk, egg, syrups, tea, toners, and floral waters for example. While I have not used these masks personally, I expect that your product must be that of liquid in nature in order to be absorbed into the cellulose. I also will note that you need enough of an amount to "cover" the mask tablet so that it can expand. For my mask today I am using rose water. Rose water is non-irritating, and will help me with redness reduction, and it also contains anti-inflammatory properties. Here are the simple steps for creating your DIY Compressed Mask.
Step 1 Remove the individual wrap. Step 2 Using this Rubbermaid container that I have on hand (it holds approximately 1/2 C of liquid) I insert that open DIY Compressed mask.
Step 3
I put the rose water into the container, ensuring the the liquid is over the top of the mask.Now I wait for the the mask to expand. My wait time was a full 5 minutes.
Step 4 Once you see that it has grown at least twice the size, I would say that this is expanded. Remove from the container and very gently and slowly take it apart. You will see the "face" (i.e. eye holes etc.) Now apply to your face.
Step 5 Leave your DIY Compressed face mask on for about 10-15 minutes. This should have a soothing effect on your face. If your face is overly wet the mask was too wet; this mask should not be dripping all over. Me looking like Halloween character. LOL
**Last Notes** I got this DIY Compressed Mask from @pinchme #pinchme It was complimentary and I'm a #happypincher. I chose to review it, it was not required in this case.However, If you would like to join a fun and free site with gobs of goodies that can come your way for free, often in exchange for a real and true review, by all means use my referral code and sign up, create a profile of things you love, like, can't do without, or would just love to try.

Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

Image
What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical. Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies. Chemistry Photo credit: Pinterest Dimethicone is normally only used topically and found in the cream type form. Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

Deadliest Record-Breaking Cold Weather Is Dangerous

Photo Credit: Medicentres.com Today's post is in response to the dangerous cold and record-breaking weather that is upon approximately 110 million people! I am currently one of those people in the path of this polar vortex weather, and I am not happy. Midwesterners are tough, rugged and live through a lot of weather extremes, however, what is predicted to come for the next two days is just dangerous. A little less than half of the North American continent has an extreme weather forecast right now and in the next week or so. My area tomorrow is predicted to be in the -50 (negative temps) to possible -60's !. The sub-zero temps are here already, but tonight and tomorrow will be excruciating! A meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center is passing along information right now telling the American public the exposed skin in that kind of extreme will take only a matter of seconds to frostbite and cause hypothermia. According to the Mayo Clinic   (see  their defini

Magnolias In My Kitchen Very Simple Flower Centerpiece

Image
It's a very cold January day and not one glimpse of the sun is to be had. The ground is covered in snow and now there's even freezing drizzle/rain to add into making this a long winter's day. There's only one thing you can do is to bring warmth in, by way of flowers. I have these two magnolia stems sitting right near me, One has three blooms on it and one has two. They feel bright and remind me of summer. Those warm days where the car windows are down and the Grateful Dead are playing Sugar Magnolia on the radio. And the only thing you can do is wave your arms out to feel the breeze while you're singing the song! A lovely flower centerpiece will liven, brighten and warm my room. So I gathered a  few things: the two magnolia stems Some dried green moss, that I use often, it truly makes me think of spring and summer with its very vibrant green and even brown sticks!  2 very large bell-shaped dimpled glass containers, graduated in size the large
