In cosmetology, they began to use a component such as yeast. This product is great for preparing anti-aging masks, as it contains a large amount of useful vitamins, microelements and enzymes that are so necessary for the aging dermis. Among other things, yeast has anti-inflammatory, soothing and rejuvenating properties. With their help, you can solve several problems at once: smooth out wrinkles, get rid of acne, reduce inflammation and redness.
Yeast does not cause any harm to the epidermis, since it is a product of natural fungal origin, which means that girls with any type of dermis can use yeast-based masks.
Beneficial properties of yeast for the face
The beneficial properties of yeast are due to its rich composition, which has a beneficial effect and effect on the epidermis.
The product contains:
- Folic acid – has anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties.
- Thiamine – promotes accelerated metabolism in cells and tones the epidermis.
- Vitamin B7 is a useful vitamin that has a softening and moisturizing effect.
- Vitamin B5 is a protective factor for the body and skin, blocks the negative effects of the sun, protects the epidermis from harmful factors and radiation.
- Vitamin B2 - it can safely be called the vitamin of youth, because thanks to it, rejuvenating processes are launched in the skin, collagen production is stimulated, subcutaneous tissue is renewed, wrinkles are smoothed out and become less pronounced.
- Amino acids are substances responsible for the elasticity and tone of the epidermis.
- Minerals – help normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands and trigger metabolic processes in the dermis.
All of the listed components, when applied to the skin in the form of a mask, begin to actively act and launch rejuvenation processes.
Mechanism of action
To ensure the required result (get rid of acne, wrinkles, sagging skin), you should take yeast, and at the same time perform care procedures. When administered orally and externally, the following effects are achieved:
Restoration of gastrointestinal functions: motility and the condition of the mucous membranes improve, microflora is normalized. The latter process is considered important for the condition of the skin, since it marks the timely cleansing of the intestines from toxins and harmful microorganisms.
Stabilization of the immune system: this is largely due to the fact that during yeast therapy, metabolism is normalized, as a result of which the body’s natural response is supported in various pathological processes that can affect the condition of the skin.
Restoration of hormonal levels, resulting in a decrease in the intensity of rashes. If you use care products (masks, scrubs) in this case, there will be no result, because acne that has formed as a result of hormonal disorders will not disappear under the influence of external factors, so it is recommended to start with oral agents.
When yeast is used externally, useful substances enter the structure of the epidermis, which contribute to the normalization of metabolic processes at the cellular level; they also have a slight effect on organs and systems, since they are not intensively absorbed. However, when applied externally, there is an improvement in the condition of the skin, which is due to the restoration of the elasticity of cell membranes and the provision of tissue nutrition.
Benefits of yeast
Regular use of yeast masks brings undeniable benefits for the epidermis. Thanks to this product, many problems are solved:
- yeast masks help fight acne, dry out rashes, and also improve the general condition of problematic dermis;
- enlarged pores narrow and become less noticeable;
- the walls of blood vessels are strengthened, microcirculation improves;
- yeast helps stop the process of withering and aging of the dermis that has begun, starting the process of collagen and elastin production;
- The protective functions of the epidermis are activated, tone and elasticity increase.

How to prepare masks correctly
The basic rule of a yeast mask is that the product must ferment, so it must be dissolved in water or milk and left for a while. “Live” yeast, which is sold in briquettes, is best suited, since it contains the most nutrients and vitamins that are necessary for the fading dermis. The yeast should be stirred until completely dissolved so that there are no lumps.
Since the product is “live”, the mask should be prepared immediately before application; you should not prepare the product for future use and leave it for later. It is best to prepare the mixture in a large container, since when the yeast swells, it increases in volume.
Before cooking, you should carefully inspect the briquette; there should be no traces of mold on it, the expiration date should be normal, and the product itself should have the smell of bread.
You should not use a product that has a sour odor; most likely it is spoiled or was stored incorrectly.
General rules and tips for use
When carrying out anti-aging procedures at home, you must follow some rules:
- Yeast masks are applied to the face for no more than 15-25 minutes.
- After the procedure, the dermis must be moisturized with a cosmetic cream.
- The mass is applied only to a well-cleansed or steamed face. This way, beneficial substances can penetrate deeper into the epidermis.
- It is recommended to wash off the composition on your face with herbal decoctions or a contrast shower with alternating temperatures.
- If the care product does not contain aggressive ingredients, then the mass can be applied to the eyelid area.
- The composition is applied in a small layer, including to the décolleté and neck.
- You should make yeast masks no more than 1-2 times a week, in a course of 10-15 procedures.
If discomfort or burning sensation occurs, the composition must be removed immediately.
Side effects
Incorrectly selected components can cause severe redness, swelling or rash. If you feel severe discomfort during the procedure, you should immediately wash off the composition and treat your face with a healing cream. It is best to select a new composition together with a dermatologist.
To minimize the risk of side effects, yeast masks are removed from the face no later than 25–30 minutes after application.
If the mixture remains on the epidermis for a longer time, it will turn into a dense, frozen film. When it is removed, the skin can be injured, which increases the chance of infection and the spread of the inflammatory process.
Contraindications
As such, the product of fungal origin has no contraindications, so it can be used without fear. A negative reaction may occur if you have an individual intolerance to the substance.
It is also not recommended to use yeast masks if:
- there are fungal infections on the epidermis;
- there are open wounds, ulcers or cuts on the skin.
Before using the product, it is better to conduct an allergy test; if there is no reaction, then the composition can be used.
