Regular washing for skin rejuvenation
One of the simplest skin care products for the face is good quality water. Water washes away dead cells in the stratum corneum, cleanses the skin of dust, dirt, sweat and grease.
With the right approach, daily washing can not only become a hygienic procedure but also a healing one. To maintain youthfulness in the skin, train yourself to wash your face by combining water. Rinse your face several times with warm water and then cold water. Hot water dilates the pores, while cold water narrows them. However, it is not recommended to wash your face with too cold or too hot water. When exposed to low temperatures, the skin becomes dry and begins to flake off. Hot water leads to persistent vasodilation and the skin becomes too sensitive to cold.
If you have dry skin, wash your face with soft water at room temperature. It is recommended to use a facial cleanser more than once a week. The exception is special foams and gels with a therapeutic effect designed specifically for dry skin.
For oily skin, you can use any cleanser twice a week: morning and evening. After washing, apply a nourishing cream on the skin, and after 20-30 minutes, remove the residue with a paper towel.
For normal skin, rinsing with warm and cool clean water is sufficient. But even normal skin requires a little care. Washing with water with decoction of medicinal herbs is very useful. Once a week, wash your face with decoction or wipe with a cotton swab dipped in warm water.
Simple folk medicine
For dry skin, it is useful to wash and compress from the decoction of chamomile, violets, rose petals, mint, lavender, ginseng root, parsley and dill. Pour 200 g of boiling water over a tablespoon of one of these ingredients. The resulting broth should be insisted for 20 minutes, strain, cool.
For oily skin, a decoction of chamomile, St. John's wort, horsetail, yarrow, plantain, cornflower, stinging nettle, coltsfoot, eucalyptus leaves is suitable.
For normal skin, you can use almost any decoction based on medicinal herbs, as each component nourishes the skin perfectly and gives it a healthy look.
Rejuvenating face masks
