Every self-respecting woman before going outside will definitely powder her nose and make up her lips with lipstick. If no other shortcomings in appearance are observed, then she, satisfied with the result of her labors, goes about her business. But is it enough to look perfect always?
Any competent cosmetologist will answer no. The use of cosmetics is only an attempt to mask what others should not see, or highlight the most beautiful features faces. The main secret is regular skin care procedures.
Which is better: home remedies or salon?
It is sometimes difficult to answer this question unambiguously. They play a role here different factors, inclining a woman in one direction or another:
- Financial situation. It's no secret that beauty parlor or a beauty salon is not affordable for everyone. Often this is the main reason why they are abandoned.
- Efficiency. Good results are achievable with home face care, but they will not become noticeable as quickly as we would like. Also, if there are scars, deep wrinkles, then it will be possible to get rid of them only when exposed to the deep layers skin. This can only be done with hardware techniques that are quite traumatic and painful. Homemade products affect the top layer of the skin and do not cope with such problems.
- Injury. As already mentioned, the deeper the selected agent penetrates, the stronger the reaction of the dermis to it will be. Here home care takes over.
- natural ingredients. No matter how wonderful a store-bought cream or lotion is, no one will remove preservatives and other unhealthy substances that can cause an allergic reaction from it. The advantage of home remedies is that a woman prepares them with her own hands, which means that she is confident in the freshness and naturalness of the ingredients.
Before doing any manipulations with the face, it will not hurt to consult a cosmetologist who will help to correctly determine the type of skin, talk about its features and nuances when caring for it.
Proper daily skin care
All procedures intended for the face are divided into three main groups:
- cleansing;
- tonic;
- moisturizing (protective).
Without them, it makes no sense to talk about skin health.
Let's consider each stage in more detail.
Proper cleansing
When asked how to wash off fat or cosmetics from the skin, many will answer without much thought that soap should be used. This is a gross mistake. It greatly dries out the skin, which negatively affects it. appearance. For example, when bold type the secretion of fat will increase, and, therefore, problems such as acne, blackheads and black spots may join. There is no need to talk about the fact that the face will constantly shine.
You need to wash your face twice a day, using special lotions, foams or gels. With the latter, it is also better to be careful, because in the cold season they dry out the skin.
It is important to choose purified, soft water for the procedure, and not the one that flows from the tap. It is far from sparkling clean and contains a lot of dirt. Naturally, all of it settles on the face.
In addition to washing, twice a week should be done more deep cleaning faces. There are two options here:
- scrubs, gommages;
- chemical peeling with acids.
Their essence is to remove dead cells from the surface of the skin, cleanse the pores of dust and dirt clogged in them, and prepare it for applying creams and masks.
In the first case, the impact is quite aggressive due to abrasive particles. Owners should take this into account sensitive skin. Gommages are more suitable for them, which act much softer and do not cause irritation. The most popular exfoliating formulas are:
- After drinking a cup of brewed coffee, you can collect thick from it, add a tablespoon of sour cream or cream (preferably not store-bought), apply with massaging movements on the face, leaving for 5-10 minutes. After that, you should wash yourself with warm water. Such a scrub is enriched essential oils, honey and other ingredients. Coffee grounds will do their job and in pure form.
- Mix a tablespoon of cream and burnt sugar. The finished product should be quickly applied to the face. Sugar will act gently, gradually dissolving. The duration of the procedure is several minutes.
- Prepare a mixture of sea salt and olive oil taken in equal proportions. Scrub is applied by massaging the skin, and briefly left on it.
In the second case, the mechanism of the procedure is to dissolve dead skin cells with acids. At home, fruit is more often used. Inventive women have managed to adapt some preparations for cleansing the face. Often you can find such methods of preparing peels:
- You will need a few of any fruit (preferably yellow or Green colour). They are crushed into puree and applied to cleansed skin, leaving for a quarter of an hour. Then - rinse with water. A characteristic reaction is a burning sensation. If it becomes unbearable, the remedy should be removed. Perhaps this indicates intolerance to the components.
- Grind one aspirin tablet with water to a pulp, and apply to the skin of the face. Leave the remedy for 5-10 minutes. It is easily washed off with water.
Before deep cleansing of the face, it is necessary to steam the skin over a container of boiling water or herbal decoction. It promotes opening of pores and more effective removal dirt from them.
Toning
The action of lotions and tonics is astringent. They help close the pores after cleansing and prepare for the application of a moisturizing, nourishing or protective cream.
Often used such homemade tonics:
- Cucumber pulp crushed in mashed potatoes, finely chopped dill or parsley are mixed and insisted for 14 days on a glass of white wine. After this time, the product should be filtered.
- Cooking herbal decoction according to standard technology (a tablespoon of raw materials per glass of boiling water). Chamomile and calendula - universal means. When the broth has cooled, it is poured into ice molds and put in the freezer. The resulting cubes wipe the face.

Fresh products without visible defects should be used.
The finished product is made immediately before use.
The shelf life of the cream varies depending on the ingredients. But do not keep it in the refrigerator for more than a few days.

Masks are an important part of facial care.
What function do they perform? It depends on their type. There are masks: soothing, moisturizing, cleansing, brightening. They are used several times a week, mostly in the evening.
Rules for applying masks
- The skin must be pre-cleansed and exfoliated with a scrub or peel.
- Apply the mask immediately after preparation. Keeping it in the refrigerator is prohibited.
- The area around the mouth and eyes should be avoided.

Everything that we “feed” it is absorbed by our body. Therefore, it is important to nourish it with such cosmetics that will not harm the body.
Cold water tones the skin, while hot water stimulates the sebaceous glands. That is why it is important for oily skin to wash with cold water. And do not neglect the daily program to cleanse the face and wash off makeup at night. Also, with oily skin type, it is not recommended to abuse spices (mustard, ginger and other spicy substances).

What is proper skin care? What are the required procedures? What does every lady who wants to look young and fresh as long as possible need to know? This is what will be discussed next.

beauty lessons
So, what are the rules for skin care? What lessons do you need to learn to allow yourself to look years younger?
First lesson. cleansing
One can only imagine how many factors negatively affect the skin during the day. These are street dust, car exhaust fumes, and cigarette smoke ... In addition, in the summer the face can sweat, respectively, salt is released. All this lays down on the skin in a thick layer, polluting the pores and mixing with decorative cosmetics. Therefore, in the evening, the skin simply needs a thorough cleansing! For example, a special milk for removing makeup, which not only gently and efficiently cleanses the face, but also covers the skin with a protective film. If the skin is dry or sensitive, then it is better to purchase such products for washing, which contain chamomile or calendula.
In addition, you can cleanse the skin with ordinary unrefined vegetable oil. To do this, pour a little oil on the sponge and apply on the face, leaving for a few minutes. Then wash with warm water.
Lesson two. Toning
If, after cleansing, some traces of pollution still remain on the skin, then the tonic will finally eliminate them. It will also remove excess fat and the remnants of cleansing milk, if suddenly it is not completely washed out with water. Do not neglect the tonic lotion in the morning - it will perfectly refresh the skin and serve as a wonderful base for make-up. However, ladies with dry and sensitive skin should choose such a remedy especially carefully - you need to make sure that it does not contain alcohol, which dries the skin.
However, even if a tonic without alcohol was not found - it does not matter! It will be perfectly replaced by ice cubes, made both simply from purified water and from a decoction of herbs useful for the skin. It can be a decoction of parsley or chamomile. Daily use of such cubes for wiping the face will stimulate blood flow, improve metabolic processes, will make the skin ruddy, supple and fresh.
Lesson three. Hydration and nutrition
Facial skin care at home should include mandatory nutrition and hydration. To do this, you need to choose the right cream - both according to the type of skin and according to age. In no case should young people buy funds for more mature skin! Some people think that such care will help to avoid the appearance of wrinkles where there are none yet, but this is a gross mistake! The face will simply get used to the cream of such a serious degree of impact, and a few years later, when lifting is really needed, it simply will not react to it!
In addition, how tone cream, and regular - must certainly contain sun filters, or SPF. Moreover, with a protection level of at least 15, or even 20. If the tube says that the cream contains SPF 8 or SPF 10, leave it on the store shelf. Such a drug will not give any protection from ultraviolet radiation. And it is extremely important to protect the skin from the sun - the presence of such filters in the cream will not allow it to age prematurely and protect it from the appearance of age spots.
When choosing a facial product, you need to remember: for real effective care, especially in summer time, will provide only a cream with SPF!
Apply it with light movements, you can lightly drive the cream into the skin without stretching it.
But for especially thin and sensitive skin under the eyes, it is better to purchase a separate cream or serum specifically targeted at this area of the skin. The eye cream is applied very carefully, ring finger, moving from the outer corner of the eye towards the nose.
Lesson four. Peeling
Comprehensive facial skin care involves periodic exfoliation. Once or twice a week, no more than that, the skin should be given a deeper cleansing and help to renew itself. After scrubbing, the old, keratinized layer is exfoliated, and fresh, young cells come to replace it. The face becomes more elastic, rested and youthful. Such a cosmetic procedure can be done both in the salon and at home.
Naturally, the same scrub that is used for the body is not suitable for the face. After all, the skin on the forehead, cheeks and chin is much more delicate and vulnerable than, say, on the shins and thighs. Accordingly, she needs more gentle care and smaller granules in the peeling composition. You can buy factory gommage for the face or make it at home with your own hands.
For example, after coffee, drunk for breakfast, there was a thick. Wonderful! Instead of sending it to the bin, it is better to put the coffee on a saucer and leave it to dry until the evening. It is he who will serve as the basis for the scrub. In the evening, a spoonful of coffee grounds should be diluted in a spoonful of sour cream or yogurt and applied to a cleansed face. Gently massage, without stretching the skin, for a couple of minutes and rinse with warm water. After a peeling session, use a cream.
There are other recipes homemade scrub. So, exfoliation with soda is very popular - two tablespoons of ordinary baking soda mix with a couple of spoons of kefir without additives and scrub your face in the same way as in the case of coffee peeling.
