Find out how to effectively rejuvenate your skin and read helpful tips to keep your skin beautiful and youthful.
Regular washing for skin rejuvenation
One of the simplest face care products is good quality water. Water washes away dead cells of the stratum corneum and cleanses the skin of dust, dirt, sweat and grease.
With the right approach, daily washing can become not only a hygienic but also a healing procedure. To keep the skin looking youthful, train yourself to wash your face with water. Rinse your face several times with warm and then cold water. Warm water expands the pores while cold water narrows them. However, it is not recommended to wash your face with water that is too cold or too hot. At low temperatures, the skin becomes dry and begins to peel off. Hot water causes persistent vasodilation and the skin becomes too sensitive to the cold.
If you have dry skin, wash your face with soft water at room temperature. It is recommended that you use a facial cleanser no more than once a week. The exception is special foams and gels with therapeutic effects that have been specially developed for dry skin.
If you have 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 remove the residue after 20 to 30 minutes with a paper towel.
Alternating washes with warm and cold clean water are sufficient for normal skin. But normal skin also needs some care. Washing with water with decoctions of medicinal herbs is very useful. Once a week, wash your face with a sud or wipe it with a swab dipped in warm water.
Simple folk remedies
For dry skin, washing and compressing from a decoction of chamomile, violet, rose petals, mint, lavender, ginseng root, parsley and dill is useful. Pour 200 g of boiling water over a tablespoon of one of these ingredients. The resulting broth needs to insist for 20 minutes, strain and cool.
A brew made from chamomile, St. John's wort, horsetail, yarrow, plantain, cornflower, nettle, coltsfoot, eucalyptus leaves is suitable for oily skin.
For normal skin, you can use almost any decoction based on medicinal herbs, since each component perfectly nourishes the skin and gives it a healthy look.
Rejuvenating face masks
