Regular wash for skin rejuvenation.
One of the simplest facial skin care products is good quality water. Water removes dead cells from the stratum corneum, cleanses the skin of dust, dirt, sweat and oil.
With the right approach, daily washing can become not only a hygienic procedure, but also a healing one. To preserve the youth of the skin, train yourself to wash your face by combining water. Rinse your face several times with warm water and then with cold water. Warm water expands pores, while cold water narrows them. However, washing your face with water that is too cold or too hot is not recommended. When exposed to low temperatures, the skin becomes dry and begins to flake. Hot water causes persistent vasodilation and the skin becomes overly 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 no more than once a week. The exception are special foams and gels with therapeutic effect, specifically designed 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 remains with a paper towel.
For normal skin, alternate washes with clean warm and cold water are sufficient. But even normal skin requires some care. Washing with water with decoctions of medicinal herbs is very useful. Once a week, wash your face with a decoction or wipe with a cotton swab dipped in warm water.
