Description

 The invention relates to cosmetics and, in particular, to skin care products designed to cleanse, eliminate peeling and rejuvenation, which occurs due to smoothing wrinkles. In cosmetic practice, creams masks are widely used, which, after application, can form a tight-fitting layer on the skin that slightly tightens the skin when it dries.

 The use of face masks is widely known [Brief Encyclopedia of Household, M., "S.E.", 1984, p. 253]. Almost every mask consists of a base and additional nutritional and therapeutic agents. The basis can be yolk, protein, starch - rice or maize, butter, yeast, fats, etc. The use of substances of mineral origin is known as components of masks or bases. Such masks, as a rule, are used to reduce skin greasiness and its cleaning. Such, in particular, is a mask base made from white clay mixed with other powdery substances.

 For some skin types, it is recommended to use the following composition as the basis: 3 parts white clay, 1 part rice or maize starch, 1/2 part zinc oxide, 2 parts magnesia, 2 parts purified talc or tooth powder, 1/5 part alum powder [ S.N. Lensina. Cosmetics, age and season. Tallinn "Valgus", 1986, p. 121].

Known [USSR Author's Certificate N 1608876, cl. A 61 K 7.00, op. 1988] the composition of the mask, which includes the following components, wt.%:
Kaolin - 25
Zinc Oxide - 7.5
Talc - 32.5
Dry Herb Complex - 35
The closest analogue (prototype) of the proposed composition of the mask is a mask for skin care [RF Patent N 2030911, cl. A 61 K 7/48, op. 03/20/1995,], which helps to cleanse the skin, eliminate peeling, surface gums and reduces greasiness. This mask contains kaolin, talc, bentonite clay or tiha-Askane, as well as ground fruit bones or mineral eggshell fortifier, carbamide, lecithin, chamomile oil extract and other components of plant origin.

The kaolin used in this composition described by the formula H ₄ Al ₂ SiO ₉ , or Al ₂ O ₃ 2SiO ₂ 2H ₂ O talc of the formula MgH ₂ Si ₄ O ₁₂ or 3MgO 4SiO ₂ are natural silicates. Kaolin is the basis of ordinary clays [B.V. Nekrasov. Fundamentals of General Chemistry. M., Chemistry, 1967 v. 2 ss. 92, 101].

 The mask is very complex in composition and may be unsuitable for some skin types.

 The challenge facing the authors of the proposed structure was to create a composition with a plasticizing effect and containing natural mineral components, the beneficial effects of which on the human body are well known [Kiryanova VV, Egorova GI, Frolova Z.K., Tubin L A. The use of therapeutic mud of the Sestroretskoye deposit in medical practice. St. Petersburg Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, study guide, St. Petersburg, 1998].

The authors of the present invention created the composition of the mask, the main components of which are gypsum and therapeutic mud (peloid), for example, the Sestroretskoye deposit. Other therapeutic muds, for example, Anapa deposits, can be used as peloids depending on the nature of the skin and the desired effect. In addition to these components, blue clay, bentonite or kaolin (or a mixture in any ratio) is introduced into the composition. Gypsum is a natural mineral consisting of calcium sulfate CaSO ₄ 2H ₂ O. Heating gypsum to 170 ^o C causes the removal of most of its hydrated water [B.V. Nekrasov. Fundamentals of General Chemistry. M., Chemistry, 1967, v. 2, p. 312, 315] Before being introduced into the composition, it is preliminarily subjected to special heat treatment and grinding.

 Curative mud (peloids) - natural formations that have arisen under the influence of complex geological and biological processes. They are composed of mineral, organic and biologically active substances. Therapeutic mud contains insoluble and difficultly soluble mineral substances (sulfates, carbonates and calcium phosphates, magnesium carbonates and sulfates, as well as natural aluminosilicates [Kiryanova VV et al. The use of therapeutic muds of the Sestroretskoye deposit in medical practice. St. Petersburg Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, textbook, St. Petersburg, 1998, S. 2].

 Therapeutic mud is subjected to special treatment and is introduced into the composition in a dry form. Blue clay, bentonite or kaolin (or a mixture of them in any ratio) can also be introduced into the composition. Gypsum and peloid are introduced into the composition, based on dry matter, in any ratio, for example, in a ratio of 1-4: 1 wt.h.

 Depending on the purpose of the mask, an additional component can be introduced - blue clay, bentonite or kaolin. The composition can also be introduced flavorings and other enriching substances approved for use in cosmetology.

 The listed components in dry form in a certain ratio are mixed and subjected to grinding to a fineness of 5-10 microns. The mask is used as follows: immediately before use, the composition is diluted with stirring in water to the density of liquid sour cream with stirring. The treated area of the skin is covered with a gauze cloth. Quickly apply the mask with a spatula or brush with a layer of several millimeters. Cover with an insulating coating. Within a few minutes, the mask hardens, releasing heat and creating a gradually increasing light pressure. The effect of the mask is a gentle facial cleansing, smoothing and regenerating effect. In addition, there is a narrowing of the pores and increased blood circulation. A particularly noticeable effect is observed when combining a mask with facial massage and other cosmetic procedures. By the method described above, the following mask compositions were prepared (mass parts).

 Example 1

 Gypsum - 1 hour

 Healing mud, (peloid) of the Sestroretskoye deposit - 1 hour

 Blue clay, bentonite or kaolin (or a mixture of them in any ratio) is absent.

 The mask has a tightening and regenerating effect, it is recommended for application to oily skin.

 Example 2

 Gypsum - 4 hours

 Healing mud, (peloid) of the Sestroretskoye deposit - 1 hour

 Blue clay - 1 hour

 The mask has a nice blue color.

 It is applied to dry, cleansed skin for 20-25 minutes. It has a cleansing and regenerating effect.

 Example 3

 Gypsum - 3 hours

 Healing mud, (peloid) of the Sestroretskoye deposit - 1 hour

 Flavor (vanillin) - 0.01 hours

 Bentonite - 0.5 hours

The mask has a pleasant color and smell. It is applied depending on the condition of the skin for 20-30 minutes. It has a cleansing, regenerating effect
Example 4

 Gypsum - 3.5 hours

 Healing mud, (peloid) of the Sestroretskoye deposit - 1 hour

 Blue clay, bentonite or kaolin (or a mixture thereof in any ratio) - 0.5 hours

 Flavoring in an effective amount.

 When applied to flaccid skin of the face after 3 sessions, a noticeable smoothing of wrinkles was observed.

 The use of one of the listed compounds depends on the type of skin on which they are applied and depends on the recommendations of a cosmetologist. Compositions prepared in the indicated ratio have plasticizing properties, have a regenerating effect on the skin and contribute to its deep and gentle cleaning. The use of gypsum in combination with a peloid has a synergistic effect, enhancing the effect of each of these components. After a course of procedures using the developed composition, an improvement in the overall skin tone of patients, smoothing of fine wrinkles, and improvement in skin color were noted.
