Skin care
You need to start taking care of your skin as early as adolescence. This is not only the use of various lotions, tonics, creams to nourish the skin. A full night's sleep, at least 7 hours, is of great importance. It is during this period that hormones are produced that promote cell regeneration. Physical activity normalizes blood circulation and increases the supply of nutrients. It is especially necessary to engage in it, starting from the age of 30-32.
Proper nutrition is one of the important conditions for acquiring clear, healthy skin. If you eat too much fatty food, acne and red spots may appear on your face, which can greatly spoil a person’s appearance. The menu of both a 14-year-old teenager and a 36-year-old adult should include vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish, and poultry. Consumption of vegetable oil in salads nourishes the body with fatty acids that promote the absorption of vitamins. Fermented milk products slow down aging.
Important! To prevent dry skin, you need to drink at least 2 liters of clean water per day.
In addition, it is necessary to use high-quality cosmetics. It must contain natural additives. Foundation and powder should not be used every day - they clog pores and make the self-cleaning process more difficult. During the hot period, the face should be protected with creams containing the maximum degree of protection against UV rays.
How to get perfect skin: learning to live correctly
The health of our integuments is a reflection of the work of the body. If you lead an incorrect lifestyle - you neglect hygiene, sports and love fatty and sweet foods, then this will immediately affect the condition of the dermis. How to achieve perfect facial skin? Read our tips.
- Remember to hydrate. Set an optimal drinking regime for yourself. The amount of water you need to drink depends on your workload and lifestyle. People involved in sports require about 2 liters of water, and the average volume is 1.5 liters per day. By receiving enough fluid, your body will function normally - metabolic processes and cell renewal will become faster. Most likely, you won’t be able to drink so much water at once, so you need to gradually accustom yourself. To do this, use apps that count the volume of water you drink. Moisturize outside - use cream. It should be applied daily, in the morning after washing. Choose a product with a natural composition.
- Eat right. The love for sweets and fast food is immediately reflected in the color and condition of the dermis. Add more vegetables, herbs and fish to your diet, and remove chocolate, mayonnaise, hamburgers and other unhealthy foods. Cook dishes by steaming or in the oven without oil.
- Maintain good hygiene. Change your pillowcases twice a week, and divide your towels into two groups - for the face and for the body. Use wet cleaning wipes at work and on the road.
- Lead an active lifestyle. Running, fitness, gym - any sports activity has a beneficial effect on the body. Waste and toxins are eliminated faster through sweat. During exercise, blood circulation and metabolism accelerate, muscles are tightened.
- Reduce your exposure to negative factors. The greatest harm to the condition of the dermis is caused by alcohol and cigarettes. Lack of sleep or, conversely, excessively long sleep also have a negative effect, but to a lesser extent.
- Protect from ultraviolet radiation. UV rays can have an aggressive effect, it loses its elasticity faster, and pigment spots appear. Therefore, in the summer, use sunscreen for your face with the maximum degree of protection.
- Keep your hair clean. Dirty curls contain products from the sebaceous glands, which then end up on the face, causing inflammation. Wash your hair whenever it gets dirty. Try to keep your forehead open, and if you wear bangs, pin them up. While washing your hair, thoroughly wash your temples and ears with shampoo; a lot of dirt accumulates on them.
Don’t forget that this way of life should become systematic.
About beautiful and clean facial skin at home
How to make your skin perfect
How to make your facial skin perfect at home? In order for the skin to become healthier and its color to even out, it is necessary to perform certain cosmetic procedures.
Cleansing
Nature intends for the body to cleanse the epidermis independently. But due to unfavorable climatic conditions and improper care, the processes slow down. Therefore, it is necessary to tidy up your face and use various cleansers in accordance with your skin type.
Dry skin
It is not recommended to wash your face with soap if you have dry skin, as it has a drying effect and may cause premature wrinkles to appear on your face. The best option is to use thermal water, cosmetic foams, herbal infusions and decoctions.
Oily skin
For cleansing, use foams and gels designed specifically for oily skin. You need to wash your face with warm water - too hot water promotes increased production of sebaceous glands. Washing with herbal infusions will improve the condition of the skin.
Combination skin
Areas of the face are dry on the temples and cheeks and oily on the forehead, chin, and along the sides of the nose - this is combination skin. To cleanse it, use mild means: green tea, rose water; if you have acne, use tar soap.
Nutrition
It is necessary to ensure that the face remains clean and healthy for a long time. The cream selected according to your skin type will provide the dermis with useful substances (minerals, vitamins, acids). It is necessary to pay attention that the skin at 25 years old is different from the skin at 35, and even more so at 50 years old. Therefore, nourishing cream must be selected according to age.
Nourishing masks make the skin elastic and smooth out facial wrinkles. They are applied with fingertips or with a brush along massage lines. You can achieve a therapeutic effect by applying the mask once a week.
The cream is applied along the massage lines
Recipes for nourishing masks by skin type:
- For dry skin, it is recommended to mix low-fat cottage cheese and coffee grounds, then gently apply it to the face. After 5-7 minutes, tap the mask into the skin with your fingertips. The mixture of components will serve not only as nutrition, but also as a light scrub: dead epidermal cells will peel off, pores will open, and the skin will begin to breathe.
- For oily skin, cosmetologists advise using the following recipe: grind several plantain leaves into a pulp, add 50 g of yeast and 2 tbsp. spoons of thick fermented baked milk. Apply the mixture to your face, after 15-20 minutes, rinse first with warm, then cool water.
- For combination skin, you can mix kefir, starch, green tea, and a few drops of any cosmetic oil. The components are taken in such quantities to obtain a thick consistency.
Note! The ingredients in the mask can cause an allergic reaction, so it should first be applied to the elbow. If no redness occurs after a few minutes, the finished product can be applied to the face.
Hydration
To keep your skin from aging for a long time, it needs to be moisturized. Cosmetics used in the autumn-winter period should contain glycerin, beeswax, vitamins, and lanolin. In spring and summer, a cream containing plant extracts is used. The elasticity of the skin also depends on internal factors: you need to drink several glasses of clean water every day in small sips.
Folk recipes
No matter how we feel about folk recipes, practice shows that they really bring positive results. At the same time, for the sake of fairness, it is worth noting that very often they work much better than expensive, branded cosmetics. Plus, such an “ambulance” will not require any financial expenses from you.
So, the most effective folk recipes for improving skin condition:
- Apple mask. Grate the apples on a fine grater, add a little milk and egg yolk to the saucepan. Bring to a boil. After this, apply the paste to your face. After five minutes, rinse off.
- Yolk mask. Mix the yolk of a chicken egg with grated apple and carrots. Apply to face.
- Birch. Cook young birch leaves over low heat for 2 hours. Then add a little margarine, lemon juice and carrots to the water. After this, add the “healing” elixir to your moisturizer. But keep in mind that you only need to add it before use. If you mix the entire jar of cream with the prepared liquid, after two days your cosmetic product will deteriorate and acquire an unpleasant odor. Please note that this is a very effective mask for dry face types, the results of which will be noticeable within five days.
- Cucumber juice. Wipe your face with cucumber juice. This procedure will perfectly moisturize and make it matte.
- Honey. Apply honey to the skin and use your fingertips to massage gently. You need to wash it off after it dries.
- Strawberry mask. Take ripe strawberries and remember them. After this, add tangerine or some other essential oil to the pulp. You need to keep the mask on for 20 minutes.

Massage will require a little more time and a more balanced approach. There are many types of massage. The simplest is to massage the cream into your face every night with your fingertips. To master a more complex facial massage and, most importantly, do it correctly, don’t be too lazy to take a couple of lessons from a cosmetologist or study video tutorials, of which there are a lot on the Internet.
Salon skin rejuvenation procedures - facial cleansing, peeling, lifting, mesotherapy
Salon procedures are now very diverse - both in technology and in price. There are several popular ones that are the most acceptable in terms of price/effect ratio.
- Face cleaning. It can be ultrasonic, mechanical or combined. It is best to choose a combination treatment, as it is carried out taking into account all the individual characteristics of the skin.
- Peeling. For significant skin rejuvenation, it is best to do a chemical one. But again - if you are confident in your cosmetologist and have no contraindications to this.
- Lifting or, in other words, facelift. This is already a serious procedure, and in some cases even a full-fledged operation. Lifting can be laser, radio frequency, thread and, of course, surgical.
- Mesotherapy or the introduction of various injections under the skin. Vitamins, microelements, biostimulants, amino acids, plant extracts - everything for ideal facial skin. But before you decide on this procedure, make sure that you entrust your face to a high-class specialist with the appropriate diplomas and, preferably, medical education. Also check the quality certificates for the injectables.
Aesthetic medicine – we remove moles, scars, tumors
Nowadays, healthy and beautiful skin is also protected by the latest achievements of science, effective drugs and high technologies, which are all combined into aesthetic medicine. And if earlier the elimination of skin defects such as scars and moles seemed unrealistic, now it is quite possible with the help of aesthetic medicine methods.
A surgeon's scalpel in the fight against sagging and serious facial skin defects
If the signs of aging are severe and the skin defects are serious, then “heavy artillery” comes to the rescue in the form of plastic surgery. There is probably no need to remind you that the choice of a clinic and a specialist to whom you entrust your face needs to be approached even a little more than very seriously.

Avoid eating fast food and carbohydrates
More and more research suggests that carbohydrates have a negative impact on skin health. Instead, eat a well-balanced diet of unprocessed, nutrient-dense foods (green vegetables, fresh fruit, yogurt, lean meats, nuts and seeds). This diet will relieve your skin from rashes, loss of elasticity and much more.
Sleep without makeup
You can't go to bed with makeup on. During the day, dust accumulates on your face, and cosmetics have time to oxidize, so it is better to cleanse your skin and apply care as soon as possible. The complexion, skin radiance and pore condition depend on this. If you don't want to waste time on cleansing, use micellar water. It will quickly remove makeup from your entire face. Just don’t forget to wash your face with water after using the micellar. When left on the skin for a long time, micelles can cause irritation.
