Our skin consists of three layers: the epidermis (in which the cell regeneration process takes place), the dermis (the elastic membrane in which the secret glands of the facial skin are located), the subcutaneous fatty tissue (which consists of fat cells). Our skin is a protective layer, it participates in the process of thermoregulation, breathing, metabolism. Skin condition can not always be the same. It varies depending on the time of the year and even on weather, on the characteristics of labor and human life. Therefore, the skin at different times requires differentiated care.
Proper care for young skin is primarily determined by its type. Most truly, your skin type and appropriate care can be determined by a cosmetologist. But it is possible and at home to determine what kind of skin yours is.
Clear distinction between types of skin can not be carried out, but conventionally, all skin types are divided into three groups: dry, fat, normal. Now the doctors-cosmetologists distinguish another fourth type of skin - combined (mixed), the skin of this type also needs appropriate care.
Normal skin on the forks is smooth, soft. It contains a sufficient amount of moisture, it does not form a greasy shine. Such skin usually tolerates cosmetic products well, it does not show enlarged pores and black dots.
Dry skin is thin, sensitive, it needs delicate cleansing and care. Dry skin is prone to frequent flaking. It has no expanded pores, but it is more prone to premature wrinkle formation. The skin may become dry and due to improper care. For example, frequent washing with hard water can degrease and dry even normal skin.
Oily skin is prone to the appearance of fatty shine, enlarged pores, black dots. Oily skin can often develop pimples, inflammations, especially if it is improperly cleaned.
Quite rare in a woman there is an ideal skin. Only proper care can make the skin beautiful and healthy.
For skin of any type, one should start taking care of from an early youth, since it is subject to various influences: atmospheric, temperature. The skin condition is affected by facial expressions, bad habits and much more. If it is not enough to take care of the skin, it will undergo changes, first imperceptible, and then irreversible. The skin can become rough, flabby, dry, its premature aging can begin.
Hygienic procedures for any type of skin are distinguished by the following:
- cleansing (with water and a means for washing, suitable for your skin type);
- toning (tonic);
- food (cream).
By washing, we use this or that water. The most suitable water for washing is 34 degrees (not cold and not warm). This temperature of the water favorably affects the tone of the skin of the face. Cold water worsens the nutrition of the skin, can cause narrowing of the vessels. The skin can become pale and become covered with premature wrinkles. Cold water should be used when rinsing the face several times a week, but not constantly. Hot water cleans the skin well, but daily washing with hot water dilates the blood vessels on the face. The face becomes a red shade, the pores expand. To strengthen the vessels on the face using contrasting washing - hot and cold water, finishing with washing with cold water.
Tonic and cream are applied to the skin after cleansing through massage lines. Massage lines are the lines of the least stretching of the skin. On the chin, they go from the middle of the chin to the lower jaw to the ears, on the cheeks - from the corners of the mouth to the ears, from the middle of the upper lip - to the ears, from the wings of the nose - to the ears. In order not to stretch the skin, the cream is applied with light patting movements.
Once a week, face masks are used: nutritious, regenerating or drying. The mask is also applied to massage movements, left for 20 minutes, and then washed off with warm water.
