At this time, a hormonal cocktail enters the bloodstream. Cortisol delays the fluid in the tissues (hence the morning swelling of the eyelids), but it has an anti-inflammatory effect, which causes irritations to the skin that worried in the evening. Adrenaline causes vasoconstriction, increasing pressure. But this tonic effect has the opposite side - the blood supply to the skin worsens, and it looks paler than usual. So do not rush to make makeup. In order not to overdo it with cosmetics, wait an hour or two until the blood circulation speeds up. Wrinkles at this time of day are also more noticeable - during the night the upper layers of the skin are very dehydrated. Soon the face will return to normal. But if you do not want to walk half a day with "bags" under your eyes, get up right after awakening. The longer you stay in the horizontal position, the slower the lymph drainage system wakes up. Tip: After washing, wipe your face with an ice cube and apply a day cream. Its formula is designed to quickly eliminate morning problems with swelling and return a healthy color to the face.

For example, light an aroma-lamp with essential oil of sandalwood, ylang-ylang, verbena or bergamot: they have an excellent relaxing effect and at the same time help to avoid an after-effect loss of energy.

And all because in the second half of the day, blood circulation and metabolism, as well as the work of the liver and intestine, which exercise the detox of the body, are activated. This is the right time for exercise and beauty treatments (especially those associated with steaming the skin). Tip: make a body peeling with honey - it perfectly removes toxins, cleans pores and nourishes the skin! Mix 30 g of honey and 50 g of sea salt, apply on the body, go to the steam room and massage the skin for 4-6 minutes with soft circular motions. And for the face, neck and décolleté zone, a cleansing mask of egg yolk, mixed with a tablespoon of honey, is suitable.

This is the ideal time for toning up procedures for face and body, masks, massages, peelings. Closer by 10 o'clock the activity of the sebaceous glands increases. Keep ready matting wipes! If on the face there are pryshchiki, grease them with an antibacterial cream: there comes a time of activity of bacteria, causing inflammations on the skin. Tip: cleanse the skin.

After 15-20 minutes, roll your fingers along the massage lines. Wipe the skin with a toner and apply the cream.
17-18 hours
This is the ideal time for massages and spa treatments. If you are at work - make a light self-massage of the face. It will tone the skin, but at the same time will reduce fatigue and prevent apathy, often occurring by the end of the day.

18-20 hours
This is the period of the least susceptibility of the body to pain. It's time to go for anti-cellulite massage, do brow correction or epilation! And still you can go to the park: during these hours the skin cells intensively absorb oxygen, and the reward will be an excellent complexion the next day. In addition, the early evening is perfect for lymphatic drainage and detox procedures, visiting a sauna or a sauna. And do not delay the removal of makeup! Of course, he conceals the traces of the fatigue accumulated during the day, but if you take it off immediately after you return from work, and not before going to bed, your loved ones will survive it. But the skin will have time to have a good rest from decorative cosmetics and will better take a night cream. Tip: Between 19 and 20 hours, take a relaxing bath with a decoction of mint, lemon balm or lavender essential oil. While you are resting in it, apply a nourishing mask. At this time, the skin is set for recovery and nutrition, so its susceptibility to cosmetic products and beauty treatments is very high.
20-21 hours
It's time to apply a night cream! After 30 years of its use must become a habit. From evening to midnight, skin cells are recovered twice as actively as in the second half of the night. Young skin for this is enough of its own reserves. But with age, she needs additional help, which is provided by night creams, rich in nutritional and restorative ingredients. Such remedies stimulate the processes of regeneration, remove toxins accumulated during the day, restore cells destroyed during the day by free radicals, the main enemies of the youth of our skin. Cosmetologists warn: between applying the cream and going to sleep should take at least an hour! In order not to wake up in the morning with swelling, apply it in a thin layer to a well-cleansed skin. After 15-20 minutes, remove the surplus paper towel or cotton swab. Tip: Facial swelling in the morning may indicate that you have incorrectly picked up a night cream. It may not fit your skin type or age, have an excessively greasy and thick consistency. Also, the reason may be that you drink too much fluids before going to bed. After 19 hours, lymph circulation in the body slows down several times. Therefore, those who are prone to swelling, cosmetologists are advised to drink during the evening no more than 200-300 milliliters of water.
23-5 hours
There is an active restoration of damaged skin cells at the level of DNA, as well as collagen and elastin fibers. True, this all happens provided that you are asleep, and do not sit up late at work or at home: during the phase of deep sleep, skin cells are divided eight times faster than during wakefulness. It is not accidental that many cosmetic problems of night owls are solved simply: it is worthwhile to begin to lie down earlier, and the skin itself is restored, its tone rises, and the number of wrinkles decreases. Tip: after midnight, blood and lymph circulation are severely retarded. The only cosmetic procedure before going to bed is thorough cleansing of the skin.
21-23 hours
The body is set to sleep. Slowed down the activity of the intestine, so it's better to give up the dense evening meals - a glass of ryazhenka or kefir will be enough. In addition, some chronobiologists believe that plentiful late suppers are a direct way to cellulite! At the same time, the body's tendency to irritation and allergic reactions increases. That's why sunburn, mosquito bites and allergic rashes begin to be unbearably itching closer to the night. Tip: to soothe the skin, wipe it with cotton wool soaked in infusions of string, chamomile or mint. And the place of mosquito bites can be accurately applied essential oil of tea tree.
