Find effective methods to rejuvenate your skin and read useful tips to keep your skin beautiful and youthful.
Wash regularly for skin rejuvenation
One of the simplest facial skin care products is quality water. Water washes the dead cells of the stratum corneum, cleansing the skin of dust, dirt, sweat and oil.
With the right approach, daily washing not only becomes a hygiene procedure, but also a healing. To keep the skin youthful, train yourself to wash your face by combining water. Rinse your face several times with warm water and then cold water. Warm water expands the pores, while cold water narrows them. However, it is not recommended to wash your face with water that is too cold or too hot. When exposed to low temperatures, the skin becomes dry and begins to peel. Hot water leads to constant vasodilation, and the skin becomes overly sensitive to cold.
If you have dry skin, wash your face with mild water at room temperature. It is best to use face wash no more than once a week. Exceptions are special foams and gels with therapeutic effects, specially designed for dry skin.
For oily skin, you can use the cleanser 2 times a week: morning and evening. After washing, apply a nourishing cream on the skin, and after 20-30 minutes, remove the residue with a paper towel.
For normal skin, alternating washing with clean warm and cold water is sufficient. But normal skin also needs care. Washing with water with a decoction of medicinal ingredients is very useful. Once a week, wash your face with a decoction or wipe with a broom dipped in warm water.
Simple folk remedies
For dry skin, washing and compressing from a decoction of chamomile, violet, rose petals, mint, lavender, ginseng root, parsley and dill will be useful. Pour 200 g of boiling water over one tablespoon of any of these ingredients. The resulting broth must be pressed for 20 minutes, strain, cool.
For oily skin, a decoction of chamomile, St. John's wort, horsetail, yarrow, banana, cornflower, nettle, coltsfoot, eucalyptus leaves are appropriate.
For normal skin, you can use almost any decoction based on medicinal ingredients, because each component nourishes the skin perfectly, giving it a healthy appearance.
Refreshing face mask
The face mask shows excellent rejuvenating results. To make a homemade mask, you need white clay and serum. Melt the components to a thick sour cream consistency, apply on skin for 15 minutes, then rinse with water. If you have dry skin - after this procedure, wet your face with a moisturizing lotion.
For oily skin, you can prepare a mask of cucumber, lemon and oatmeal. Cut 1 cucumber, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 100 grams of oatmeal. Dilute the mixture with chamomile broth, whey or boiled water. Apply on previously cleansed skin for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water.
Massage to improve skin structure
You can refresh your face with a special massage. This ensures the normalization of blood circulation, removing keratin skin particles.
The massage improves skin elasticity, improves color and texture.
Twice a week after cleansing the skin, rub your face with your fingertips lightly for 2-3 minutes. It is better to start from the forehead, from the eyebrows to the temples.
After that, knead the upper cheek from the nose to the temples. Then rub the cheeks with the palms of the hands from the lips to the ears and massage the chin with the back of your hands.
The final stage of the massage is tapping the light with your fingertips all over the face.
The massage procedure improves blood circulation and stimulates the production of its own collagen, helping skin cells receive useful substances.
Peel for effective cleaning
Facial exfoliation can be done once a week. To do this, you do not need to visit a salon, because you can perform this procedure at home. Facial cleansing is done with a scrub. You can cook it yourself. The most popular cleaning ingredients are coffee and sea salt.
Put a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of sugar, 2-3 drops of lavender oil into the coffee. Stir the mixture well, apply to face, rinse after 10 minutes with warm water. For normal to dry skin, mix 1 tablespoon of sea salt with egg yolk and sour cream. Massage into face, rinse after 10-15 minutes. For oily skin, replace sour cream with other fermented milk products - serum, kefir, low -fat sour cream.
Don’t forget that facial rejuvenation is not possible without changes in diet and a healthy lifestyle. In order for the skin to be young and tidy, it is necessary to abandon bad habits, as well as diversify the diet with vitamins and minerals. The diet must include foods that contain carotene, vitamin A and fiber.
