Regular washing for skin rejuvenation
One of the simplest facial skin care products is high quality water. Water washes away dead cells of the stratum corneum, cleanses skin of dust, dirt, sweat and grease.
With the right approach, daily washing can be not only a hygienic procedure, but also a medicine. To preserve the youth of the skin, train yourself to wash your face by adding water. Rinse your face several times with warm water and then cold water. Hot water widens pores, while cold water narrows them. However, washing your face with too cold or too hot water is not recommended. When exposed to low temperatures, the skin becomes dry and begins to flake. Hot water leads to constant 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 to use a facial cleanser more than once a week. The exception is special foam and gels that have a therapeutic effect, designed specifically for dry skin.
For oily skin, you can use any cleanser 2 times 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 washings with clean, warm, cool water are sufficient. But some normal skin requires some care. It is very useful washing with water with decoctions of medicinal herbs. Once a week, wash your face with a decoction or wipe with a swab dipped in warm water.
