We will begin, directly, with a procedure such as compresses for the face. It is these compresses that occupy one of the first places among cosmetic procedures at home. Very often cosmetic compressions are divided into two types: hot and cold. Let's look at these concepts in more detail. So, a hot compress at home. This procedure is capable of:
- relax the muscles of the face;
- It is ideal to remove dirt and excess fat from the skin;
- remove the dead skin cells.
These compresses are ideal for flabby and very dry skin. If you have problematic skin prone to inflammation and acne, then hot compresses are contraindicated. This kind of procedure should be done immediately before using different face masks or special facial massage.
Before you make a hot compress, do not forget to clean your face beforehand by thorough washing. Then take a napkin made from natural fibers of tissue, dip it into hot water and, folding it several times, put on your face for 15 minutes. If within 15 minutes you notice that the napkin cools - repeat the procedure with its dipping in the same water. Such compresses are also useful to make from various herbs, which are very widely used in the world of cosmetology - these are, as a rule, decoctions of a string, camomile flowers, sage or linden.
Cold compresses play the role of a toning and skin-improving cosmetic. Use them best after applying face masks or cleaning it. Used such "cold" cosmetic compresses with flabby and sluggish skin. At home, this compress is done as easily and simply as the previous one. In cold water, add ice, and then dip a cotton napkin there, after folding it several times, put it on your face. At the same time, try not to touch the compress with your hands, otherwise it will contribute to its heating. Keep such a compress is about a minute or so. A good effect can give alternations of these two types of compress. This will improve the complexion and raise the tone of the skin.
Another, a good care for the face skin remedy, is the use of steam trays . This procedure contributes to:
- improve the work of the nerve endings that are on your face;
- uncorking pores;
- softening and removal of dead skin cells;
- resorption of inflammatory processes on the skin surface.
After processing the skin of the face of the ferry you will undoubtedly feel that it has become smooth, elastic and has become more elastic. Steam bath is recommended to use before cleaning the contaminated pores of the skin of the face.
This procedure is best used for those who have very oily and problem skin, prone to various imperfections. If you have a very dry skin type - cosmetologists do not recommend using this procedure.
At home, these trays are easy to prepare. We take any small container (saucepan, high bowl) and pour into it the usual boiling water or decoction of herbs (chamomile, sage, turn). After that, covering the occipital part of the head with a towel, we lower the face over the vessel. This procedure should last 10-15 minutes. At the end of this time, rinse face with cool water and apply a lotion to face with a cotton swab. Remember that after this kind of procedure immediately go out is not recommended.
Now let's go directly to cleaning the face . As we said above, the face cleaning is best done after using the steam bath. At home, facial skin care is recommended for those girls who suffer from acne or so-called black spots. If your skin is prone to inflammation, this procedure is forbidden.
So, having steamed your face on a steam bath, carefully wipe it with a damp cotton swab, and then repeat this same, only already dry. After that, having cleansed your hands (antibacterial agent or alcohol), with your fingertips, lightly press on those places where the most noticeable acne is. Remember that the eel should go out easily, it is not worth it to apply extra efforts to remove it, it is fraught with irritations of individual skin areas. After cleaning, wipe the "cleaned" places with a 3% peroxide solution or lotion on alcohol, and if you have very oily skin, use a two percent salicylic acid solution. By the way, wipe the skin with alcohol during the process of cleaning is not worth it, as this will lead to constriction and contraction of the pores, after which it will be impossible to remove acne. When removing black dots, cosmetologists recommend using a saline solution.
And at last we will consider such procedures in conditions of "home beauty salon", as face masks. This is one of the most effective and productive cosmetic procedures for facial skin. In cosmetology, the following types of masks are distinguished: moisturizing, nourishing, whitening, astringent and masking with the effect of exfoliation of dead skin cells of the face. Remember that before using any face mask, the following rules should be observed:
- pre-clean the skin;
- put the mask on the skin in the direction from your chin to the temples, and from the mouth to the cheekbones and ears;
- during use of the mask it is worth to be in a calm and peaceful position;
- Keep the mask is not more than 20 minutes, after which you must wash them off with warm water and dry your face with a towel;
- After this procedure, apply a cream on your face that matches your skin type.
Remember, it's best to use face masks after applying a steam bath or a hot compress. Remain always beautiful, good luck!
