If our body is protected by clothing, our face will remain exposed, so it will be exposed to negative environmental factors.
In addition, after a certain age, the skin quickly loses moisture, and subcutaneous fat begins to disappear. This is one of the main causes of the first wrinkles.
To keep the skin young and fresh, it is necessary to remove dead skin cells, nourish it and treat it regularly to improve blood circulation.
Find effective ways to rejuvenate your skin and read useful tips to keep your skin beautiful and young.
Regular washing to rejuvenate the skin
One of the simplest ways to care for your skin is to use good quality water. Water washes away dead skin cells and removes dust, dirt, sweat and oil from the skin.
Washing daily with the right method can be not only a hygienic procedure, but also a healing procedure. To keep your skin young, teach them to mix water and wash their face. Rinse your face several times with warm and then cold water. Warm water widens the pores, while cold water shrinks them. However, it is not recommended to wash your face with very cold or very hot water. When exposed to low temperatures, the skin dries out and the scales begin to appear. Hot water permanently dilates blood vessels and makes the skin very sensitive to cold.
If your skin is dry, wash your face with mild water at room temperature. It is recommended to use cleanser no more than once a week. Special foams and gels that have a specially designed therapeutic effect on dry skin.
For oily skin, you can use any cleanser twice a week: in the morning and in the evening. After washing, apply a nourishing cream to the skin and after 20-30 minutes remove the residue with a paper towel.
For normal skin, alternate washing with warm and cold clean water. However, normal skin requires a little more care. It is very useful to wash with water containing decoctions of medicinal herbs. Wash your face once a week with a decoction or wipe with a swab soaked in warm water.
Simple folk remedies
For dry skin, it is useful to wash and compress the decoction of chamomile, violet, rose petals, mint, lavender, ginseng root, parsley and dill. Pour 200 g of boiling water over a tablespoon of any of these ingredients. The resulting broth should insist 20 minutes, strain and cool.
For oily skin, use a decoction of chamomile, St. John's wort, horsetail, spider, plantain, cornflower, nettle, thyme, eucalyptus leaves.
For normal skin, you can use almost any decoction based on herbs, because each component nourishes the skin and gives a healthy appearance.
Rejuvenating face masks
Facial masks show the best results of rejuvenation. You need white clay and serum to make a homemade mask. Dilute the ingredients to a thick creamy consistency, apply on the skin for 15 minutes, then rinse with water. If you have dry skin - moisturize your face with a moisturizing lotion after this procedure.
For oily skin you can prepare a mask of cucumber, lemon and oatmeal. Chop 1 cucumber and add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 100 grams of oatmeal. Dilute the mixture with chamomile broth, whey or boiled water. Apply on previously cleansed skin for 20 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Massage to improve skin texture
You can rejuvenate your face with a special massage. It normalizes blood circulation and removes keratinized particles from the skin.
Massage improves skin elasticity and improves color and texture.
After cleansing, gently massage your face with your fingertips for 2-3 minutes twice a week. It is better to start from the brow to the temple.
Then rub the upper jaw from the nose to the temple. Then wipe your palms and cheeks from lips to ears and sleep on the back of your palms.
The final step in the massage is to gently tap the tips of your fingers.
The massage procedure improves blood circulation and stimulates the production of its own collagen, helping skin cells to absorb nutrients.
Peeling for effective cleansing
Exfoliation can be done once a week. You do not need to go to salons for this, because this procedure can be performed at home. Facial cleansing is done with a scrub. You can cook it yourself. The most popular cleansing ingredients are coffee and sea salt.
Add a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of sugar, 2-3 drops of lavender oil to the coffee oil. Mix the mixture well, apply on face and after 10 minutes wash off with warm water. For normal and dry skin, mix 1 tablespoon sea salt with egg yolk and sour cream. Massage on face, wash off after 10-15 minutes. For oily skin, replace cream with other fermented dairy products - whey, kefir, non-fat cream.
Remember that facial rejuvenation is not possible without nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. To keep your skin young and well-groomed, you need to get rid of bad habits and diversify your diet with vitamins and minerals. The diet should include foods that contain carotene, vitamin A and fiber.
