Facial Skin Care
Nowadays, more and more negative environmental effects affect the facial skin, which, in addition to aging, also has to deal with the destructive effects of dirt, harmful substances in food and water. In order for the delicate, sensitive and heavily used skin of the face to have some chance in this fight, we must give all our support.
With a healthy lifestyle, we can already do a lot for a youthful, radiant look. Facial skin care starts from the inside: Healthy food, balanced nutrient intake, adequate amount of sleep, reduction of stress. The importance of water consumption should be emphasized: the hydration of the facial skin is directly proportional to the fluid consumed. Once we've fixed our internal things, of course we still have a few things to do.
Cleaning
The first step in facial skin care is cleansing. During the day, a lot of dirt accumulates on the skin, just think of the air full of exhaust gases, makeup, cigarette smoke. The drying, destructive effect of these often invisible particle-sized contaminants is soon seen on untreated skin. At night, even though the skin does not come into direct contact with impurities, various undesirable toxins, oils and sweat are deposited on the surface due to its own excretion processes. We must not forget that the skin is our largest superficial organ, not only the outer covering of our body, but also the largest excretory organ, a lot of toxins and decomposition products leave through it.
The essential remedy for cleansing is the cleanser, as the tap water is too hard in most places, too high in salinity, so it just dries the skin and forms more deposits on it. Not to mention that many people, remembering the good advice of our grandmothers, wash their faces not only with water, but with straight cold tap water to refresh their skin and start circulating blood.
The problem with this is that it does not have a refreshing effect, but this oily, sweaty film layer that the skin has selected cold water on the skin with reality, thus preventing breathing, clogging the pores.
The primary remedy for morning facial cleansing is aroma water, also known as hydrolate. These preparations contain the water-soluble active ingredients of the plants, alkaloids, acids and, to a minimum, the essential oils of the plant. They gently cleanse the skin, do not irritate or dry it, unlike synthetic or alcoholic cleansers.
Depending on what plant they are made of, they have different side effects, they have an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory or pore-tightening, skin-tightening
Hydration
This point should definitely be part of your daily, twice daily routine. A very good quality face cream applied to clean skin, appropriate for the skin type, is the alpha and omega of facial skin care, if nothing else, it should definitely be a good habit.
Be sure to choose a good quality product that suits your skin type and preferably contains as many natural ingredients as possible. The water-binding capacity of dry skin is reduced, so there is a need for a composition that contains these factors.
Facial skin care starts with a healthy lifestyle, but we can also help a lot with cosmetics to keep it beautiful and healthy for a long time. Applying good quality cosmetics that are suitable for your skin type, rich in natural ingredients if possible, will rejuvenate your face for years.
