Only this A complex approach will achieve the desired effect and prolong the youthfulness of the skin, preserving it and protecting it from negative influences - both external and internal.
Cleansing.
The first and, perhaps, the main stage in facial skin care is daily cleansing. During the day, dust settles on the skin, accumulates harmful substances from environment, sebum. Here we add foundation, powder, other decorative products. This cocktail not only clogs pores, leading to inflammation, the formation of blackheads, comedones, blackheads and other troubles, but is also perfectly absorbed by the skin, causing its intoxication. That is why facial cleansing should be correct and regular.
Washing.
Before washing, makeup and dirt accumulated during the day are removed with special skin cleansing products. It can be lotion, milk or micellar water. For lovers of natural homemade funds will do a recipe that many actors use when removing makeup. Heat any vegetable oil slightly, apply a thin layer, remove it from the face after a minute. The oil will not only cleanse the skin, but also moisturize it.
For direct washing, it is better to use purified water, since the skin tends to absorb the substances contained in the liquid. Rain or melt water is ideal, but filtered tap water is fine too. At the same time, cosmetologists advise to abandon soap, since the alkali contained in it has a detrimental effect on the water balance of the skin. give preference gel is better, milk or foam for washing.
Peeling.
Peeling is carried out once or twice a week with a specially selected scrub. This procedure is designed to exfoliate dead cells, even out the relief, and deeply cleanse the pores. Scrubs are applied to wet skin and rubbed with light movements, without much pressure. It is worth remembering, however, that with severe rosacea, severe inflammation or skin irritation, the peeling procedure is contraindicated.

Cleansing face masks are obligatory in home care, which must also be done once or twice a week. Before applying the mask, experts advise making a steam bath using essential oils or herbal decoction. This procedure will open the pores and remove toxins. However, some skin problems, among which rosacea occupies the first place, are a contraindication to such a procedure.
The most effective in cleansing is considered a mask from cosmetic clay. When choosing clay, skin type is taken into account. So, white clay choose owners of a mixed skin type, blue and green - oily, and red clay is ideal for dry skin.
After applying the cleansing mask, the skin is soothed with a tonic. It will remove the remnants of the product, close the pores, give the face an even color and a fresh look.
Hydration.
After cleansing, the skin needs moisture, which can be achieved special creams selected according to skin type and age. For young skin, a light gel with a moisturizing effect is preferable. For more mature skin it is better to choose not just moisturizing, but complex care, where important role will play nutrition and giving the skin elasticity.

This procedure perfectly tones the skin, eliminates swelling and signs of fatigue, and tightens pores. Sharp cooling helps to establish microcirculation, strengthens blood vessels, which is an excellent prevention of the appearance of a capillary network. The skin becomes more elastic, and small wrinkles are smoothed out quickly enough.

The nourishing cream is applied at night, it is advisable to slightly warm it up in your hands before use. After 10-15 minutes, excess cream is removed with a napkin, otherwise clogging of the pores may occur, leading to the formation of comedones.
