It's no secret that cosmetics make a woman brighter and more beautiful, but even the most professional makeup is unable to disguise skin imperfections. In order for her to be healthy, she needs to pay attention every day, because only appropriate care for the skin of the face and body can provide excellent appearance.
Determining your skin type
To pick up suitable care, it is necessary to determine. The choice of facial care products depends on this. If you have oily skin, it does not need enhanced nutrition, and if it is dry, it should not be overdryed with masks and tonics. Skin type is easy to determine.
IN adolescence very beautiful, she has no signs of acne or enlarged pores. It is very thin and delicate. However, over time, such skin increasingly lacks hydration and nutrition. Without getting what it needs, dry skin quickly fades. It is often also sensitive and prone to irritation and peeling.
Oily skin is the complete opposite of dry skin. It is rough, dense, enlarged pores are visible. There is a big plus: it can produce a protective film itself, and therefore has better protection from harmful environmental influences. Unlike dry skin, oily skin ages much more slowly, but due to excess sebum secretion, acne and pimples often appear on it. At the same time they spoil the overall appearance. If you provide such skin with proper care, it will acquire a clean and smooth appearance.
Has no visible flaws. She is often confused with normal, which is not surprising. With combination skin, the T-zone (nose and forehead) is oilier than the rest of the face. The skin on the cheeks is normal or even prone to dryness.
Normal skin, given modern ecology and living conditions, is a real rarity among adults. Such skin is ideal: smooth, even, elastic, without flaws. In general, like a child's.
Choosing the right skin care
In order for the skin to receive the substances it needs, care products must be selected correctly. Standard products include (the alkali in the composition disrupts the natural pH of the skin), daytime and night cream, tonic, masks and scrubs, eye cream. Now about the features of care different types skin.
Proper care for dry skin type
Fat milk is good to use for cleansing once a day, in the evening. In the morning, simply rinse your face with water. A soft alcohol-free lotion with moisturizing agents is suitable as a toner. To make your own tonic, you need:
1 tbsp. Pour a spoonful of green tea with hot mineral water, add linden, leave for 2 hours, strain and store in the refrigerator.
Creams must contain nutrients. Daily cream should protect the skin well from exposure to ultraviolet radiation. A night cream is ideal: nourishing and restorative. necessary only with the appearance of the first wrinkles. Instead of a scrub, gommage is used once a week; it is gentle on the skin.
Proper skin care fatty type
The basis of care in this case is cleansing. Ideal with bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect. A toner for oily skin is also a must. It should contain alcohol and pore-tightening anti-inflammatory additives. You can even prepare it at home:
1 tbsp. Brew a spoon of calendula with 1 glass of hot mineral water, leave, strain, add lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of vodka, put in the refrigerator.
Only special creams for oily skin are suitable. Apply eye cream only when the first wrinkles appear. Every week you need to use a scrub, 2-3 times a day, as well as cleansing and anti-inflammatory masks.

1 tbsp. pour a spoonful of green tea into a glass of hot mineral water and add lemon juice.

We hope that our little tips will help you take care of your skin. Caring for her is the key beautiful face and good mood!
The bare minimum is enough for skin care natural remedies, and cosmetic companies do not care about our beauty and health, but about their profits. So says expert on harmonious and minimalistic life Dominique Loro. Here's how she suggests nourishing and purifying your skin to keep it beautiful.
Facial skin care: less is more
There is also a rule in skin care that lower costs guarantee better results. Most of the products sold in stores actually damage the skin.
To cleanse the skin, find a good mild soap with glycerin or honey. Use it in the evening to remove makeup, even if you went makeup-free that day. Dust and dirt eat into the protective film produced by the skin ( why skin acquires a yellowish tint), and the skin needs to breathe.
But she doesn’t need soap in the morning. Her best ally is ice water: After washing this way, Japanese women pat themselves on the face 150 times to stimulate blood circulation and improve their complexion.
Next, the skin should supply, based on her condition: if the air is humid, she needs almost nothing. If it feels tight or dry, one or two drops of warmed oil applied using the palms of your hands will suffice. As a rule, what is healthy to eat also benefits the skin: olive, sesame, almond oil, avocado oil. Residue tea applied instead of lotion protects the skin thanks to the natural oils it contains without clogging pores.
When applying oil to the skin, accompany this action massage. This daily procedure should be learned, understood and practiced. There are over three hundred tiny muscles in the face alone, and if you massage them, the tissue will stay in place. It is very important to use these techniques consciously, because the state of mind in which you take care of your skin affects the results. If you massage your face with love, your skin will become more beautiful: the epidermis and hair function in close connection with the body, the environment and thoughts.
Last tip: The sun is skin's number one enemy. Protect yourself from it with a hat and glasses to avoid premature wrinkles.
The skin does not need soaps, lotions or creams to be clean and soft. It should be cleansed and nourished. Give up chemical products, lotions, all excesses. Beware of the traps set by the cosmetics industry. Skin, like digestive system, absorbs everything we give it and transfers it into the blood.
The best skin care is healthy eating, get enough sleep, pure water and... happiness. Everything else is secondary. Skin care should be limited to deep cleansing, nutrition and careful protection. Ask anyone beautiful woman, what she uses to take care of herself, and she will most likely answer: “Oh, almost nothing!”

I took this cream primarily because of the availability peptide complex, similar action appreciated, usingserum the same manufacturer.I’ll leave a review of the serum below, there’s also a little peptide theory there.Since I had sufficiently “fed” my skin with peptides in the fall, I needed a morning/day peptide product option to maintain the results obtained, as well as to comply with the protocol: acids in the evening, peptides in the morning.Hydroxy acids work with the stratum corneum of the skin, damaging and exfoliating it, thereby stimulating the growth of young layers of skin and components of the intercellular matrix, as well as allowing our assets, including peptides, to penetrate the barrier structures of the skin for maximum effect.Combination of several peptides with different properties and mechanisms of action, namely signal peptides and muscle relaxant peptides, as in this cream, acts synergistically, that is, as complementary and reinforcing each other, whichgives a powerful rejuvenating effect, many times more than these peptides would provide separately.
The texture of the cream is elastic, not greasy, despite the abundance of oils in it. But not liquid like lotion.
Easy to apply and spread. It is absorbed instantly, leaves no shine, and is very comfortable to use, just like the serum.From time to time I feel a slight tingling sensation at the sides of my nose and along the edges of my lips, which quickly passes. The cream seemed to me too light for my skin, which is prone to dryness in winter, as I am used to more oily products in the cold season. Therefore, I assume thatIts use would be quite appropriate in the summer and off-season. I'mInstead of serum, I distribute a few drops of squalene under the cream, I like it better. I understand why the manufacturer recommends the cream for all skin types: it really is powerful humidifier. And moisturizing, as you know, will not hurt both dry and combination skin, as well as oily skin. This season I did not have any skin irritation from acids: severe dryness and slight redness in some sensitive areas in the décolleté area. It is difficult to talk and isolate about anti-aging and lifting, given A complex approach, but during the period of active use of peptides and acids, the paws around the eyes have obviously smoothed out. Everything else is in one pore, which is probably also a result. N You have to run as fast as you can just to stay in place, but to get somewhere, you have to run at least twice as fast! Especially considering that I recently lost two kilograms and this time my face also lost weight. The only consolation is that the face itself remains “in place” - girls over forty plus will understand me. The turgor is good, the skin is elastic and moisturized, the color is even, the chanterelle oval is almost in place, what else is needed for happiness?

- from the corners of the lips to the earlobes;
- from the bridge of the nose to the temples;
- from the outer corners of the eye to the inner (movements along the upper and lower eyelids);
