How to Use a Facial Mask - eHow.com Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home Personal Care & Style Center Grooming How to Use a Facial Mask A good facial mask serves a variety of different functions: mud masks absorb oil, hydrating masks moisturize dry skin and perfecting masks replenish dull skin. Steps: 1. Use your fingers to spread a thin coating of the mask evenly over your skin. Avoid eye area and lips. (Image 1) 2. Leave mask on as long as directed. Try not to laugh or smile while it's drying. 3. Remove a mud mask with a hot, wet washcloth. Pat face dry with a towel. (Image 2) 4. Wipe off a moisturizing or replenishing mask with a tissue. 5. Peel off a gel mask, starting at the forehead and moving down. (Image 3) click photos to enlarge 1. 2. 3. Tips: If you have combination skin, you may want to apply a mud mask only over the T-zone, which is the center of forehead, nose, chin and center of cheeks. If you have sensitive skin, you may wish to test the mask on another skin patch, such as the inside of the elbow. Wait 24 hours to make sure there is no adverse reaction before using the mask on your face. Warnings: Avoid contact with eyes, as many masks contain acne medication or other irritating ingredients. Tips from eHow Users: Cheap and easy by katarina B. Use finely milled oatmeal(health food shop), add water to make smooth paste, rub it on as an exfoliant(bonus - a scrub as well) then leave to dry. Great alternative to mud. Works wonders on oily skin. Rate this tip: E-Z cocoa powder and milk facial mask by AMBER i know that sounds gross, but in a small cup, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa power and then 1 tablespoon of WHOLE MILK, skim or 2% doesn't work because it's too watery. mix together with spoon, after well mixed, evenly coat over your face. wait until it dries, in most cases, it dries within 10 minutes. wash off with a facial towel ( that you wouln't mind staining) COMPLEATLY. for dry skin, you may need to then apply facial lotion. for oily skin, theres no need!! its moist, but not gross! P.s. aviod getting onto clothes!! unless wached out immediatly, this WILL STAIN!! to fight this, wrap a towel around your neck Rate this tip: View 5 More Tip(s) from Users Please Share Your Tips with Us More Resources: Contribute to eHow: Write an eHow Article Suggest a Topic Give Us Feedback on This Article Related eHows: Give Yourself a Facial Remove Makeup Thoroughly Purchase the Right Mud Mask Exfoliate Your Face Make Herbal Skin Cleansing Cream Things You'll Need: washcloths facial mud mask clay-based face masks moisturizing facial masks Project Details: Skill Advisory: Moderately Easy New! -- Related eHows: Give Yourself a Facial Remove Makeup Thoroughly Purchase the Right Mud Mask Exfoliate Your Face Make Herbal Skin Cleansing Cream Check out Thousands of How-To Solutions in eHow's Centers Automotive Careers & Education Computers & Home Electronics Family & Relationships Finance & Business Food & Entertaining Health Hobbies & Games Holidays & Traditions Home & Garden Personal Care & Style Pets Sports & Fitness Travel How to: --?

soap and detergent chemistry.

Soap Chemistry You are here: home Cleaning Products Overview Soaps and Detergents Chemistry   Pages:[1] [2] To understand what is needed to achieve effective cleaning, it is helpful to have a basic knowledge of soap and detergent chemistry.   Water, the liquid commonly used for cleaning, has a property called surface tension. In the body of the water, each molecule is surrounded and attracted by other water molecules. However, at the surface, those molecules are surrounded by other water molecules only on the water side. A tension is created as the water molecules at the surface are pulled into the body of the water. This tension causes water to bead up on surfaces (glass, fabric), which slows wetting of the surface and inhibits the cleaning process. You can see surface tension at work by placing a drop of water onto a counter top. The drop will hold its shape and will not spread.   In the cleaning process, surface tension must be reduced so water can spread and wet surfaces. Chemicals that are able to do this effectively are called surface active agents, or surfactants. They are said to make water "wetter."   Surfactants perform other important functions in cleaning, such as loosening, emulsifying (dispersing in water) and holding soil in suspension until it can be rinsed away. Surfactants can also provide alkalinity, which is useful in removing acidic soils.   Surfactants are classified by their ionic (electrical charge) properties in water: anionic (negative charge), nonionic (no charge), cationic (positive charge) and amphoteric (either positive or negative charge).    Soap is an anionic surfactant. Other anionic as well as nonionic surfactants are the main ingredients in today's detergents. Now let's look closer at the chemistry of surfactants. SOAPS Soaps are water-soluble sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids. Soaps are made from fats and oils, or their fatty acids, by treating them chemically with a strong alkali. First let's examine the composition of fats, oils and alkalis; then we'll review the soapmaking process. Fats and Oils The fats and oils used in soapmaking come from animal or plant sources. Each fat or oil is made up of a distinctive mixture of several different triglycerides. In a triglyceride molecule, three fatty acid molecules are attached to one molecule of glycerine. There are many types of triglycerides; each type consists of its own particular combination of fatty acids. Fatty acids are the components of fats and oils that are used in making soap. They are weak acids composed of two parts: A carboxylic acid group consisting of one hydrogen (H) atom, two oxygen (O) atoms, and one carbon (C) atom, plus a hydrocarbon chain attached to the carboxylic acid group. Generally, it is made up of a long straight chain of carbon (C) atoms each carrying two hydrogen (H) atoms. Alkali An alkali is a soluble salt of an alkali metal like sodium or potassium. Originally, the alkalis used in soapmaking were obtained from the ashes of plants, but they are now made commercially. Today, the term alkali describes a substance that chemically is a base (the opposite of an acid) and that reacts with and neutralizes an acid. The common alkalis used in soapmaking are sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also called caustic soda; and potassium hydroxide (KOH), also called caustic potash. How Soaps are Made Saponification of fats and oils is the most widely used soapmaking process. This method involves heating fats and oils and reacting them with a liquid alkali to produce soap and water (neat soap) plus glycerine. The other major soapmaking process is the neutralization of fatty acids with an alkali. Fats and oils are hydrolyzed (split) with a high-pressure steam to yield crude fatty acids and glycerine. The fatty acids are then purified by distillation and neutralized with an alkali to produce soap and water (neat soap). When the alkali is sodium hydroxide, a sodium soap is formed. Sodium soaps are "hard" soaps. When the alkali is potassium hydroxide, a potassium soap is formed. Potassium soaps are softer and are found in some liquid hand soaps and shaving creams. The carboxylate end of the soap molecule is attracted to water. It is called the hydrophilic (water-loving) end. The hydrocarbon chain is attracted to oil and grease and repelled by water. It is known as the hydrophobic (water-hating) end. How Water Hardness Affects Cleaning Action Although soap is a good cleaning agent, its effectiveness is reduced when used in hard water. Hardness in water is caused by the presence of mineral salts - mostly those of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), but sometimes also iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn). The mineral salts react with soap to form an insoluble precipitate known as soap film or scum. Soap film does not rinse away easily. It tends to remain behind and produces visible deposits on clothing and makes fabrics feel stiff. It also attaches to the insides of bathtubs, sinks and washing machines. Some soap is used up by reacting with hard water minerals to form the film. This reduces the amount of soap available for cleaning. Even when clothes are washed in soft water, some hardness minerals are introduced by the soil on clothes. Soap molecules are not very versatile and cannot be adapted to today's variety of fibers, washing temperatures and water conditions.
