The main rule of care is regularity. In order for the skin to remain young and healthy, it is necessary to take care of it daily. And care must be literate. Not all women know how to take care of their skin every day.
Proper skin care includes 5 stages.
Stage 1: Cleansing.
Regardless of the type of your skin, it needs a morning and evening cleansing.
In the evening, you take off your makeup, dust and sebaceous secretions accumulated during the day. It's best to do this right after you've come home. It is necessary to wash yourself with the help of special cleansers, suitable for your skin type. Do not use soap, even baby. This especially applies to the delicate skin around the eyes. Soap equally harms both dry and oily skin.
Moisten the face with water. Wash using your facial cleanser. On the cotton pad, apply a make-up remover and wipe the face, removing the remains of make-up and dirt. Do it gently, with gentle movements on the massage lines. Do not stretch the skin, do not rub it, so you will only accelerate the appearance of wrinkles. Then rinse your face with water and pat dry with a towel.
In the morning, skin also needs to be cleansed. While you were resting, the skin continued to work. Therefore, during the night, sebaceous secretions accumulate, keratinized dead cells. All this must be washed off before applying makeup. When combined and oily skin, use your face-washing agent. For dry skin, it will be enough to wash with water.
Stage 2: Toning.
The use of tonic narrows the pores, stimulates the skin, prepares it for the next stages of care. And further cleans, removing from the face of the remnants of the cleanser and water. This stage, as well as cleansing, is carried out twice a day.
Refuse to use tonic can only afford those ladies who wash with purified or mineral water. All other tonic is needed.
Moreover, tonic is recommended in two ways. First, use a cotton pad to wipe the face, removing the debris. And then pour a small amount of tonic on the palm of your hand and rinse your face. This is what men do with shaving lotion. Or do you think that your skin does not need to be toned?
Step 3: Protection.
This is the stage of applying the day cream. Its main function is to protect the skin from the adverse effects of the environment. Support your beauty. A good day cream does not form a mask on the face. It absorbs into the deeper layers of the skin and "puts out protection" exactly where the young, fragile cells need it most.
If for some reason you have to choose between day and night cream, give preference to daytime. Without it, your skin care will be carried out on the principle of "step forward, two back."
If you still think that your skin under the cream can not breathe, use a gel remedy. Its structure is easier, quickly absorbed. Moisturizing gel is also preferable for summer care.
Day cream protects your skin and the particles of decorative cosmetics, preventing it from getting into the depth and providing easier removal of makeup when washing. The ideal variant of makeup is the addition of a day cream with a tonal product.
Step 4: Power and Recovery.
It's night care. Night creams always contain much more restoring and caring active ingredients. During sleep, the skin, relaxing after a day of aggression, "comes to life", tends to regenerate. And it is at this point that she needs food and support. Apply the night cream for about 20-30 minutes before taking a horizontal position.
If the day cream is allowed to apply at night, the night cream will never replace the day cream. It simply does not contain any protective components. But very often there are ingredients that are destroyed by exposure to sunlight.
Step 5: Additional care.
This, of course, is a mask. Cleansing, nourishing, moisturizing. Each of them is recommended to be applied 1-2 times a week. But your skin needs all these remedies. Therefore, different masks are used 4-5 times a week. Alternate them depending on the season and skin condition. From time to time, you can replace cosmetic masks with folk remedies: cucumber, strawberries, cream, etc.
Now you know exactly how to properly care for your face every day. And you can provide your person with perfect care.
