Washing dry facial skin. Cleaning dry facial skin

The skin is the largest human organ. It is both an excretory and absorbent organ. Therefore, skin cleansing should be done both externally and internally.

The condition of the skin directly depends on the general condition of the body. There is no way to cleanse the skin without cleansing the body as a whole. At the same time, consistent cleansing of the entire body leads to cleansing and significant improvement in the external condition of the skin.

• Cleansing the skin from the inside.
• Skin cleansing with thermal procedures.
• Additional factors affecting the condition and cleanliness of the skin.
• Methods for cleansing facial skin at home.

Why do you need skin care?

Skin is our protection from external threats: from bacteria, sunlight and mechanical influences. The skin of the face is most susceptible to negative environmental influences. You need to take care of her first.

Proper care is the foundation on which the youth and attractiveness of any woman depends. Each skin type requires an individual approach. Dry skin lacks moisture and is also highly sensitive. Constant companions of oily skin are inflammation, enlarged pores and shine. Combined skin combines the characteristics of dry and oily.

How to properly care for your facial skin every day?

It is important to follow the basic principles of skin care:

• Regularity. Leaving from case to case will not bring magical results and transformations. Therefore, it is important to constantly monitor the condition of your skin.
• Complexity. Your beauty ritual must include stages of cleansing, toning, nourishing and moisturizing the skin. You should also always have an emergency kit for unexpected breakouts.
• Self-love. This is the most important principle in self-care. We apply masks to ourselves, moisturize ourselves with creams and enjoy. Do you remember that the most beautiful woman is looking at you from the mirror?

Skin cleansing with thermal procedures.

One of the methods of cleansing the skin and cleansing the entire body of toxins is cleansing using thermal procedures (bath, sauna). Cleansing, in this case, is carried out through the skin and the skin is cleansed first. Every day up to 600 grams of fluid is released through the skin. Along with the liquid, of course, almost all the substances contained in it come out, including waste ones. Substances released through the skin include waste products, salts, radionuclides and much more.

Cleansing the skin with thermal procedures should only be done after the intestines, liver and kidneys have been cleansed. Otherwise, a huge amount of harmful substances in the body will constantly enter the bloodstream and the skin will not be able to cleanse itself effectively.

Stages of daily skin care

There are 3 main stages of facial care, remember and apply them:

1. Cleansing.
   Of course, this is an important and very first stage. Before moisturizing and toning, you need to cleanse your face of sebum, remaining makeup and dust. This should be done both in the morning and in the evening. In the morning, cleanse your face of sebum. In the evening, we wash off the makeup and dust that has settled on our face during the day.

   Basic rules of cleansing:

   • We don't use regular soap! It causes dry skin.

   If you use micellar water, be sure to wash it off.

2. It is best to choose melted or mineral non-carbonated water, as well as hydrolates, for washing. Tap water can be very drying to your skin.
3. We wash ourselves with water at room temperature. If you constantly use hot water, your skin will eventually dry out and peel.
4. Toning.
   Many people consider tonic to be useless. But it helps relieve redness and inflammation, restores the acid-base balance, cleanses and tightens pores, and also performs a million other useful functions.

   We advise you to try natural lavender hydrolate for all skin types. It serves as a good remedy for two stages at once: cleansing and toning. You can use it instead of regular washing with chlorinated tap water, remove makeup with a mild herbal product without alcohol and other aggressive ingredients - your skin will definitely be grateful. You can buy it in the beauty365 store

5. Hydration.
   After toning, moisturize the skin. Squalane from Beauty 365 is ideal for this. It consists of 100% natural plant squalane - sugar cane oil.

   Squalane is a more stable form of squalene, a natural component of sebum. It is literally embedded in the matrix of the lipid layer of the skin: strengthens it and prevents moisture evaporation. Makes the skin elastic, accelerates its regeneration, smoothes out wrinkles. Increases local cell immunity, helps cope with inflammation, and relieves redness.

Classic cleaning

Traditional cleaning of the nasal pores is carried out in three stages: preparation, steaming and direct cleansing. The procedure removes excess sebum, sweat and dirt from the orifices. This allows the dermis to breathe, in addition, it normalizes metabolic processes, activates the production of collagen and elastin, and improves complexion.

Preparation

Before removing sebaceous plugs, you need to cleanse your face. Makeup is removed using cosmetics - milk, gel or oil. If you didn't wear makeup, you still need to wash your face and/or wipe your face with tonic or a special solution. This will remove impurities from the upper layer of the epidermis that are invisible to the eye.

Steaming

The steaming procedure involves exposing the skin to hot steam. It can come from ordinary boiled water, but for better effect special baths are used. Compositions depend on skin type:

• Fat. Water + a couple drops of mint, lemon or tea tree essential oil.
• Dry. Water + 2-3 drops of fir or rose extract.
• Normal. Pour a tablespoon of dried chamomile flowers into a glass of boiling water. Leave for 30 minutes. Mix the prepared decoction with hot water.

The frequency of steaming procedures also depends on the type of dermis: once a week for dry and normal skin, twice for oily skin. General recommendations for steaming:

1. Take hot water, but not boiling water.
2. Pour the selected composition into the pan. Line the edges of the container with a towel.
3. Bend over the pan, but not too low. It is important that you feel comfortable.
4. Cover the top with a towel.
5. Keep your head over the steam for about 10-15 minutes if your skin is oily, and 5 minutes if it is dry.
6. After the procedure, do not wipe your face so as not to neutralize the effect. Let the epidermis dry on its own, then proceed to the next step.

An alternative way to expand pores is to use special steaming gels or creams instead of baths. They are sold in pharmacies and cosmetic stores and used according to the instructions. Often you just need to apply a warming agent to your nose and leave for some time (10-15 minutes).

Cleansing

Once you have opened the pores, you can clean them without the risk of injuring your skin. However, you still need to act carefully. Follow these instructions:

1. Wrap your fingers in a bandage or napkin. Soak them in salicylic acid or an alcohol-based product.
2. Using gentle pressure, gently clean out any large debris from the pores on your nose. You can use tweezers instead of fingers.
3. Mix salt and soda in equal proportions (a pinch of each). Apply the finished homemade scrub to your nose and rub lightly. The mixture will help cleanse the pores deeper.
4. Rinse off the baking soda and salt with warm water.

It is important not only to clear the enlarged pores on the nose of sebaceous plugs, but also to narrow them so that they are less likely to clog again. This procedure is done immediately after the previous one:

1. Apply a little lemon juice or other sour fruit to the skin of your nose.
2. Rinse off with cold water.

In addition, rubbing the dermis with an ice cube helps with narrowing. Prepare them in advance from plain water or chamomile decoction. After cleansing and tightening, let the skin dry on its own and be sure to apply a nourishing or moisturizing cream. Do the procedure at least once a week, preferably at night, so that the dermis has time to rest.

Skin care around the eyes

The skin on the eyelids is very thin and therefore extremely sensitive. Considering that cosmetics have been on the skin all day, the additional load on it will be completely inappropriate, so you need to choose eye care cosmetics more thoughtfully.

Rules for caring for the skin around the eyes:

1. If you still do not pay special attention to this area, start right now, regardless of age.
2. Don't use face creams! They are too heavy and greasy for this area.
3. Moisturize! The skin around the eyes always needs moisture. “Drought” is a direct path to wrinkles.
4. Sleep more and don't worry. Tension is bad for this area.

Cleansing the skin from the inside.

As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the condition of the skin reflects the condition of the entire organism as a whole. To cleanse the skin, you must first cleanse the major organs. Especially the excretory organs - when they work poorly, the load on the skin to remove waste from the body increases. Therefore, cleansing these organs is so important for cleansing the skin. Cleansing the body should be carried out in stages:

1. Colon cleansing - The unpleasant odor of the skin will disappear. The appearance of the skin will improve - acne, rashes and irritation may decrease.
2. Liver cleansing - Skin will become fresh and smooth. Pimples, blackheads, rashes and irritations will decrease. Your complexion will improve, dark circles and bags under the eyes will disappear, and fine wrinkles will smooth out. The face will look fresh and rested.
3. Kidney cleansing - When the body is freed from unnecessary water, swelling, puffiness will go away, and bags under the eyes will disappear. The skin will become fresher, smoother and tighter.
4. Cleansing the body of toxins - Acne, rashes and irritations will finally disappear. The skin will become even more fresh and tightened and acquire a healthy color.

Lip care

Lips also deserve close attention of any woman during daily facial care.

1. Don't leave home without lip balm and oil. Lips also need constant hydration, otherwise cracks and peeling will not bypass you.
2. Don't forget the scrub. It will make your lips shiny and well-groomed in a matter of minutes. A good scrub does not scratch the skin of the lips and moisturizes perfectly.
3. To keep your lips in good shape, don’t forget about gymnastics. We share an excellent exercise from Melannette, which helps to raise the corners of the lips again:

Rules for daily care of different skin types

1. Normal skin
   Even if you have normal skin, this does not mean that you can evade care. We recommend trying self-massage. It will always help keep your skin toned. Proper self-massage improves blood microcirculation, and therefore skin nutrition. Metabolic processes in the dermis improve, skin turgor increases, and swelling under the eyes goes away.

   You can use special vacuum jars for self-massage, designed specifically for the face, which you can find in the beauty365 store.

   A safe cup massage technique from Melannette that even a beginner can perform:

2. Dry skin
   This type of skin requires close care. We focus on hydration in care. You can use any cosmetic milk to moisturize dry skin in the evening. And of course, don’t forget about Squalane! This is a godsend for dry skin.

   Dry massage with a brush, which can be purchased at the Beauty365 store, will help prevent peeling.

   It perfectly helps exfoliate dead skin flakes and also improves blood and lymph circulation. How to do dry massage, watch the video:

3. Oily skin
   With this type of skin, the sebaceous glands work very actively. Therefore, even after frequent washing, the face begins to shine. Pores in oily skin are enlarged, and pimples and blackheads are constant companions. Despite this, it has an advantage over others, since it will age more slowly than others due to moisture, which does not evaporate and blocks the penetration of bacteria.

   A salvation for oily skin is Beauty365 natural sage hydrolate, obtained by steam distillation. It tightens pores, removes shine, irritation and rashes. It is loved by those with mature skin for its anti-aging effect and antioxidants in its composition. Just imagine: no chemicals and yet effective cleansing and moisturizing!

4. Combination skin
   This skin type is the most common. The forehead, nose and chin show signs of oily skin, but the skin around the eyes is thin and dry.

   Therefore, care methods will need to be combined. Choose soft cleansers: gels, oils, foams. Get some creams and foundations for your face. Apply tightening and cleansing masks only to the T-zone; for areas of dry skin, choose nourishing and vitamin masks.

Masks for cleansing and tightening pores on the nose

Another way to clean the pores on your nose is to use homemade masks. They have a deep action and are used against sebaceous plugs and blackheads. The most effective recipes:

• Gelatinous. Dilute a teaspoon of powder in a tablespoon of cold milk. Wait for the gelatin to swell. After this, heat the mass in a water bath or in the microwave. Please note that the powder must be completely dissolved in milk. Apply the hot (but not scalding!) mixture to areas of clogged pores: the T-zone or just the nose and chin. You cannot use the mask on your entire face: it acts like a band-aid and helps clean deep impurities, literally pulling them out. Wait until the mass hardens and turns into a film (about half an hour). Remove the mask with a sharp movement - there should be sebaceous plugs on the back side.
• Soda. Dilute 3 tablespoons of powder with water to make a thick paste. Add 5 tablespoons of flour to the mixture, mix thoroughly. Distribute the mixture over your face and leave for 10 minutes. Rinse off with plain water and repeat the procedure two to three times a week to get rid of oily shine and enlarged pores.
• With activated carbon. This is a homemade version of the much-advertised “black mask”. Take 1 spoon of PVA glue (only this type of product is allowed, it is safe, does not cause allergies and dissolves in water) and 2 tablets of activated carbon. Grind the medicine to a powder and mix with glue. Apply, like a gelatin mask, only to problem areas. Wait until the mixture hardens and turns into a film. With a sharp movement, rip it off your nose to clean out the pores.

After using any of the masks, it is recommended to apply moisturizer. Carry out the cleansing procedure at night. Before using the product, carefully remove makeup from your face. Do not combine cleansing masks with scrubs.

Washing dry facial skin. Cleaning dry facial skin

Dry skin cannot tolerate washing with either hot or cold water: cold water constricts blood vessels, and hot water dilates them, which is why wrinkles appear earlier.
On dry skin, it is necessary to store more natural oil, and not wash it off completely when washing your face in the morning, otherwise the skin will become even more sensitive to environmental influences.

During winter, it is better to use water at home temperature for washing, and in summer, cool water; Before washing, lightly coat the skin with sour cream or rasta. Oil. Washing with water will be easier for the skin to tolerate if it is cleaned in advance with fermented milk products: yogurt, kefir, acidophilus - the substances contained in them soften and nourish dry skin, while normalizing its acid-base balance. You can also coat your skin with cream or rich cream a quarter of an hour before washing.

Before taking a shower or bath, swimming in the sea, swimming in a pool - in general, before taking procedures related to water, dry skin should be protected - apply a special protective cream, or simply coat your face with sour cream, vegetable or unsalted butter. The opposite of washing, after which a fortified cream is applied, greatly helps dry skin.

In the evening, it is also better to clean dry skin not with water, but with a cleansing cream, herbal infusion or kefir, and then apply a nourishing cream.

All cleansers for dry skin must have a greasy base and do not remove natural fat from the skin - for example, special milk or cosmetic cream with moisturizing agents. Day creams should be chosen primarily with a UV filter to protect the skin from radiation that leads to early aging.

It is best to use soap if possible less often - both when washing and when bathing. You can wash the skin of your face and body using oatmeal: to do this, you need to put it in a linen bag and rub it like a washcloth. The beneficial substances found in oatmeal will nourish your skin and will not strip away the protective fat layer from your face.

To cleanse dry skin, you need to use soft lotions - for example, from red rose petals. Dry rose petals (3 cups) are poured with peach or almond oil so that they are covered with it; then place it in a steam bath and keep it until the petals become discolored. Wipe your face with the purchased lotion 2-3 times throughout the day.

Proper daily skin care for aged skin

At this age, your goal is to try to protect yourself from possible problems in the future. Therefore, focus on hydration and sun protection.

30-40 years old.

From the age of 30, skin pigmentation increases, and the skin gradually begins to lose moisture. The first age-related changes begin to appear. Self-massage, which we have already discussed above, will come to your aid. Do exercises regularly, and this will help delay old age for a long time.

After 40.
