10 Gold tips for facial care at home

Our nature is so interesting - we are born with a different set of genes, in fact, every person is unique. This applies to everything from the size of the nose, ending with how you will look at 20, 40 and 60 years.

We cannot change beyond recognition what is given to us (except to invest in plastic surgery, but we all know that this snag only disfigures women). We can only learn how to properly care for our

appearance, in particular for the skin of the face at home.

In some, the skin is naturally oily, in others dry and thin, it is believed that in modern conditions normal skin is very rare, often combined - The skin can behave differently depending on the season and temperature and weather conditions.

We can not completely change your skin type - so do not believe the tricks of advertisers who assure you that your skin will forever cease to be oily from their miracle remedy! But, if you choose cosmetics that suit your skin type and properly care for it, then it will look healthier and really get fat much less.

So, let's see how to make daily care for your skin more effectively.

1. Determine the type of skin

Oily skin

The skin of this type is usually thicker, the pores are clearly visible and enlarged. The skin has an oily sheen, due to which it collects all the dirt and dust - that is why oily skin often suffers from rashes and acne. The advantage is that due to the thickness and protection from overdrying, oily skin is not prone to wrinkles, so owners of this type of skin (if they learn to properly care for it) will look young for a long time.

Dry skin

In contrast to oily, dry skin type is distinguished by its fine structure, transparency and haze. It is easily subject to irritation, can peel off and feel “tightness”. Wrinkles appear on dry skin the fastest. She needs constant hydration and is extremely sensitive to aggressive makeup remover and hard water.

Normal skin

The moisture and fat content of this type of skin is balanced, so it is the least trouble-free in care and looks young for a long time. But this does not mean that you do not need to take care of it at all, just pick up all the means for normal skin, there will be PH.

Combination skin

With this type of skin, the T-zone area is usually like that of oily skin, in the area of ​​the eyes, on the temples and chin may be dry skin. The skin can look heterogeneous, be sensitive to cosmetics - you need to choose the care products very carefully.

2. House care rules

In order for the skin to be protected from the influence of the environment and look perfect, you need it - first - to clean, second - to tone up, and third - to moisturize/nourish. All this facial can be done at home.

It is necessary to carry out all these actions in the morning and in the evening, with the only difference that in the morning - after cleansing and toning, we moisturize the skin and in the evening - nourish. Do not think that in the morning you can do without the first two points and just start applying cosmetics to the cream (or without it!).

After all, while we sleep, the sebaceous glands also work, we rub our face on the pillow and collect dust and bacteria on it that will gladly arrange inflammation and acne if you do not carefully carry out all the morning procedures. Means for these processes of care should be chosen according to the type of skin (have you already decided on it in the previous paragraph?).

3. Your skin type is not forever.

Skin type can change over the course of a lifetime, therefore, cosmetics should be selected based on how your skin feels and looks now. In summer, usually any type of skin produces more fat; in winter, it is drier. Hormones and nutrition also affect the sebaceous glands. For example, with the advent of menopause, the skin becomes dry, and the addition of polyunsaturated fatty acids to the diet makes dry skin normal.

4. Peculiarities of face care for skin types

If you use mass-market cosmetics, check out the composition of products. Try to choose the most natural (read in this case - harmless) means.

IMPORTANT! For oily skin, we don’t use tonics with alcohol (this is just what inexperienced young girls do - after all, oily skin, I really want to decrease, but this can only aggravate the problem). Also for oily skin creams are contraindicated on a fat basis and without a mark about the absence of comedogenicity.

IMPORTANT: For dry skin, choose soft non-aggressive cleansing and toning agents. But fat-free creams are not suitable here. Dry skin is especially important to protect against ultraviolet rays and frost. Therefore, in the summer, do not go outside without a protective moisturizer, and in the winter without fat-nourishing. And before going out on the street, it is desirable to take 30 minutes.

5. How to apply the cream correctly

Any type of skin cannot be strongly rubbed when cleansing or toning, all movements should be light and smooth. First, you need to wash with warm water, then you can slightly reduce the temperature - do not injure your skin with ice water. After all, the temperature contributes to the opening of the pores, in warm water - they will open easier and you can clean the skin much better.

The cream should be applied by patting with soft movements (do not rub or rub!), In certain directions:

on the forehead: with both hands towards the temples, from the bottom up;

areas around the eyes: on the eyelid from the nose to the corners of the eyes, under the eyes - in the opposite direction with both hands at the same time;

on cheeks: from nose to temples;

around the lips: on the chin - from the center in both directions, from above - from the corners of the mouth to the bases of the wings of the nose;

on the neck: first on the middle, then gently rub in both directions on the side surfaces.

6. Choose funds wisely

Cosmetics mass-market, that is, advertised cosmetics sold in conventional perfume stores, as a rule, are composed of toxic petrochemical products. 90% of the cost of these properties goes to the formation of an advertising campaign and the promotion of products.

All these beautiful girls with shining peach faces, who smile at us from the screens and labels, force us to buy these products. We also want to look just as stunning. And at this moment we are not at all wondering what is the part of such cosmetics? What is inherent in this remaining 10 % of the price?

7. Go to the survey

Problem skin directly speaks of problems in the body. Therefore, no matter how great the means you do not rub it - it only helps to eliminate the consequences a bit but does not solve the problem.

Instead of buying another acne tonic, consult an endocrinologist - most often problem skin is the result of hormonal or nutritional disorders.

8. Use scrub

In order for moisturizing and nourishing creams and serums to better penetrate the structure of the skin and work there, you must remove all possible obstacles for this. And that means - thoroughly clean the skin from dirt (with the help of milk, foam, gel) and dead epithelium (with the help of scrubs).

For oily skin, you can use exfoliating scrubs quite often.

But when dry - no more than once a week, while it is better to pick only soft scrubs - so as not to damage the thin skin.

9. Making face masks at home

Once or twice a week, make skin nourishing masks at home. It is not only cheap, but also very effective. Masks also are sure to choose for your skin type and follow the instructions for use. It is also useful to do at home cleansing face masks with gelatin and honey.

Several times a week, apply natural oils to rejuvenate your skin (argan oil, roses from a musket, immortelle, evening primrose). This should be done in the evenings, applied - on moist skin with massage movements, and on top - moisturizing cream.

10. Cosmetician Council

Do not wash with tap water!

Plain tap water is tough - it contains magnesium and calcium salts, which, with long-term use, dry out the skin. This is especially dangerous for dry-type skin, it can begin to peel off, although all the care products have been selected by you correctly.
