The main rules of skin care

One of the most important secrets of skin care is always used by experienced cosmetologists: it does not matter what brand of cosmetics you use and how much it costs, it is important how you use it all. So, the basic principles of proper care, which should be implemented, starting with the age of 16.

Regularity

This principle is one of the most important in caring for any type of skin and at any age. Every woman should develop a habit in the morning and evening to give facial treatment a few minutes.

Correct application of cosmetics on the skin

How your skin is applied to the face depends on how you apply it. Wrong technique will lead to stretching of the epidermis and premature appearance of wrinkles.

Important! All cosmetic products should be applied to the face with clean hands, namely with the pads of the fingers, gently, without pressing and stretching the skin, the hand should be relaxed at the same time.

In case of a dense consistency of the cream or thin skin, which is especially important in the care of the skin around the eyes, apply the cream better by patting light movements. For this purpose, the ring finger is the most suitable, since it is the weakest of all, and therefore can not cause damage to delicate cells.

Massage lines

Applying cream and other cosmetics should be done only on massage lines, which are the lines of the least stretching of the skin. Remember them easily: almost all lines go from the center of the face to the periphery. The exception is the zone around the eyes, here the situation is the opposite - from the outer corner of the eyes to the inner.

Important! A cream for eye care should be applied over the bone. The cream itself is distributed throughout all soft tissues. Do not rub the cream directly into thin skin.

As for the neck, the front part of it is processed from the bottom up, and the side part from the top down. If you think that the neck care is not as important as the face, then deeply mistaken. The skin of the neck is thinner and it feeds much worse, therefore it quickly loses its elasticity and grows old sooner than the face of .

Daily facial skin care

Let's consider the basic actions that make up a minimum of daily care for the skin of the face.

Cleansing

This is the main and indisputable rule, because without purity about any health and beauty is out of the question. It is necessary to clean the skin of the face in the morning and in the evening:

1. Morning cleansing can include only basic washing.
2. Evening includes the removal of make-up from the eyes with the help of a specially designed means. Make-up from the face, too, can be cleaned with cleansing milk or foam. Then rinse your face with water. After washing, pat the face with a towel or napkin.

Important! Do not rub your face with a towel. By doing this you will only stretch the skin. Do not leave water on your face to dry yourself - this will lead to the drying out of the skin, which is highly undesirable.

Wash best with water at room temperature. Do not use too cold water or hot water for this purpose.

Toning

Immediately after cleansing, it is necessary to wipe the face and neck with a tonic. It helps to normalize the pH balance of the skin, which can be disturbed by cleansing agents. Thus, you prepare the skin for the next stage of care - moisturizing.

Important! To use tonic means it is necessary as well as cleaning - every day in the morning and in the evening .

Moisturizing

The lack of moisture in skin cells will lead to its dryness, loss of elasticity, elasticity, and also to the rapid appearance of wrinkles. Therefore, this stage of skin care is as important as the two previous ones. Thus it is desirable to observe such rules:

1. Moisturize the skin twice a day, after toning.
2. You can not save the cream or vice versa to apply excessive amount on the face. Its volume is determined by the skin condition, it should moisturize the skin well, but do not remain a thick layer preventing its breathing. To control this, after 20-30 minutes after applying the cream, its excess should be removed by blotting with a napkin.

Important! Apply daily cream should be no later than 30 minutes before going to the street, and in the winter season - no later than one hour. The cream should be absorbed before it enters the fresh air.

Night cream for better effect is applied at least one hour before sleep, it is possible earlier. If you apply it immediately before going to bed, you can provoke poor absorption and as a result, collide in the morning with the appearance of swelling. While you are not sleeping, the skin remains mobile, which improves the absorption of the cream.

Young girls under 25 years of night cream should not be used at all. At this age, the skin is able to recover itself. If you start so early to help the skin, then it will begin to show laziness and prematurely grow old.
