The skin tolerates conventional skin care products well. But this type of skin is quite rare. Unfortunately, after the age of 30, it is possible to reduce the secretion of sebum. The appearance gradually begins to deviate from the norm, resistance to sudden temperature fluctuations decreases. Therefore, even normal facial skin requires cosmetic care.

Dry skin always thin, delicate, smooth and matte. It is extremely sensitive to external influences and irritants - cold and hot water, various types of soaps. After washing, spots, peeling, a feeling of constriction appear on the face. Dry skin is due to the activity of the sebaceous glands and intense evaporation of moisture from its surface. Dry skin requires serious care from the age of 25-30.

Oily skin looks thick, rough and shiny. Sebum, secreted in excess, forms plugs in the openings of the sebaceous glands. Acne appears, which periodically inflame. The most oily skin occurs at a young age and can remain so up to 35-40 years. Oily skin requires special long-term care, appropriate treatment and adherence to a certain diet.

Combination skin(mixed type) differs in that its individual areas on the face can be attributed to dry skin or oily skin. Very rarely, all three previously mentioned skin types can fit on one face. The forehead, nose, chin most often refer to oily skin type, and the cheeks to normal or dry. And although combination skin in most cases is associated with age-related changes, it also needs care.

It depends on many factors. Your cheerful and cheerful mood increases blood circulation, which, in turn, promotes the activity of the skin. In a state of sadness and melancholy, the activity of the nervous system is inhibited. The skin becomes pale, dry, and begins to peel off.

In addition to vegetable, fruit and berry masks for oily skin care, juices, decoctions and infusions of medicinal herbs are used.

When washing with hot water, excess fat is washed off, blood vessels expand, and the skin turns red. If you wash your face with hot water, then the muscles of the face relax, the skin becomes flabby.

Cool water that is close to room temperature is suitable for washing. We wash the face skin with warm water and rinse it with cold water, so we alternate several times. This procedure causes vasoconstriction, then expansion, and for the face is a kind of gymnastics.

The ideal option would be to wash your face with rainwater for any skin. Ordinary water contains calcium salts. When washed, they combine with the fatty acids of the soap, and form insoluble salts, which interfere with cleansing the skin. If there is no rainwater, you can get soft water by boiling water, or by getting it from snow.

Evening facial, cleansing
For cleansing, we use tonic, lotion or cleansing milk or cream. Remove the rest of the cream with tonic or lotion.

Remove makeup correctly
Movement when cleansing the skin of the face should be directed upwards, should be smooth, you should not scratch and stretch the skin. We pay great attention to the neck, chin area, near the nose.

We use cleansing creams to remove mascara from eyelashes. We especially carefully remove makeup from eyelashes and eyelids, do not pull the skin. Dip a cotton swab in lotion or cream, close the eye and lead the cotton swab along the upper eyelid to its outer side. We open our eyes, turn the tampon over, rub the lower eyelid, now we bring the cotton swab back to the nose. And so we repeat until the surface of the face becomes completely clean. We “blot” the excess cream with a soft paper napkin.

Apply the toning lotion to a cotton pad and rub your face from bottom to top. After applying the lotion to the face, put a tissue on the face with a slit for the nose, pat it with your fingers, so that the excess moisture is absorbed.

Moisturizing
Moisturizing is the main procedure that we do in the morning, afternoon, evening, it will help keep the skin naturally youthful.

There are many moisturizers now, but the best effect is given by emulsions - liquid moisturizers. This is not a thick cream, it is well absorbed by the skin and for several hours there is no dry skin.

Before using, we will warm the cream, squeeze it onto the tips of our fingers. We apply it on still damp skin so that the active ingredients act on the skin more effectively. Use your fingertips to drive the cream into the skin of the neck, face, skip the eye area.
