The main stages of skin care

Regardless of type, the skin care process should include the following steps.

Cleansing

You need to clean the skin in the morning and evening.

Important! Morning cleansing will prepare your skin for applying makeup, and in the evening - for further procedures.

During this stage, dead flakes of the stratum corneum, excess sebum, makeup residues, dirt and residual bacteria waste products are removed.

Important! When washing, regardless of skin type, the use of soap should be avoided, as it causes dryness and irritation. Today, there are many different mousses, gels and foams that do not violate the acidity of the skin and do an excellent job with their cleansing function.

Toning

After the face has been cleaned, it must be wiped with a tonic or lotion. Additional skin toning moisturizes its surface and removes impurities, has an anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effect, normalizes acidity, and tightens pores.

Moisturizing and nutrition

The basic rules for skin care include such procedures:

• Day cream should be applied in the morning, both before applying makeup, and without it. Thus, a film forms on the surface of the skin, which protects it from the effects of various meteorological environmental factors.

Important! The use of a day cream prevents the loss of moisture from the surface of the skin and helps to maintain its moisture.

• For evening care, a night cream should be used. For daily application, it is not suitable, since it is too oily. It must be applied 1-2 hours before bedtime. If the cream is not absorbed, then the excess should be wet with a dry cloth.

Important! Night cream should not be applied to the skin around the eyes, as it is too “heavy” for this area.

In addition, an additional 1-2 times a week should carry out auxiliary procedures - peeling with a scrub, applying masks. A scrub will help you remove dead cells, and a mask will perfectly moisturize, rejuvenate, relieve inflammation and nourish your skin.

Important! To achieve the best effect, try to use cosmetics of the same brand.

Personal hygiene

Adhering to the basic rules of skin care should not forget about personal hygiene. Indeed, very often, if a pimple pops up on our face, we are in a hurry to squeeze it out right away. This should not be done, especially with unwashed hands, since they have a large number of microbes, bacteria. Therefore, starting any manipulations, you should definitely wash your hands, and treat the area of ​​inflammation with an antiseptic.

Important! Pay attention to the fact that squeezing a pimple, you do not eliminate all the pus to the end, but simply injure the skin. Subsequently, scars appear on the surface, which are rather difficult to remove or mask.

Apply makeup correctly

Sometimes applying makeup, many of us break the basic rules, as a result, the skin suffers. For example, during the day, every woman adjusts her makeup, and for a perfectly even tone, she puts a new layer of tinting agent over the old one. This can not be done, since such actions lead to blockage of the pores, their further expansion and the appearance of black dots.

Important! If you have oily skin type, it is better to replace the powder with matting wipes to correct makeup.In addition to removing oily sheen, you also get a caring effect.
