Proper skin care after 25 years: problematic, oily, dry skin

Doctors state that after 25 years, natural regeneration processes slow down and the skin loses moisture. Externally, this manifests itself in the form of deterioration of complexion, increased oiliness of the skin, pigment spots and irregularities remaining after acne become brighter.

The most unpleasant thing is that facial wrinkles appear around the eyes, between the eyebrows and on the forehead. And if previously it was enough to moisturize in the morning, cleanse and nourish in the evening, now it is necessary to make much more effort to maintain beauty. Here are some tips on how to take care of your facial skin after 25 years.

Why active care is necessary after 25 years

Young facial skin requires only minimal care.
Wash with foam and then moisturize your face with a light cream - this is the plan for the lucky ones who have not yet reached 25 years of age. Anyone who is older should understand that over the years the natural processes occurring in the body slow down, the skin loses natural moisture and, as a result, fading accelerates. Did your complexion deteriorate, and then the fat content also increased? These are signs of a decrease in regenerative properties, which is provoked by the disturbed water balance of the skin. After 25 years, the spots and damage on the skin that acne leaves behind are clearly visible. One advantage of skin of this age is the normalization of hormonal levels, and this eliminates acne and other teenage problems that arise after the appearance of acne. Here you need to be attentive to yourself. If, after 25 years, problems with facial skin rashes have not gone away, you should consult a specialist, because the cause of such troubles can be serious disorders, and improper care has nothing to do with it.

Features of facial skin care if you are over 26 years old:

• Don't be lazy and cleanse your skin thoroughly.
• Facial massage helps smooth out wrinkles, normalizes the sebaceous glands, and increases the elasticity of the skin.
• Do not use soap, or use it as little as possible
• Eat right:

1. Include avocado in your diet. It contains a huge amount of vitamins and fatty acids.
2. Drink more green tea. Buy high-quality Chinese green tea: it is higher in price, but cannot be compared in quality and taste with cheap bagged tea.
3. Clean drinking water is very useful , but know when to stop. Excessive water consumption can cause swelling and swelling.
4. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables . Nuts are healthy, especially walnuts.

IMPORTANT! Many women diligently take care of their face, but forget about the neck and décolleté area. But it is these parts of the body that quickly fade and can reveal your true age!

Oily skin type

Its main advantage is that it is much less susceptible to aging than dry or normal.

CAREFULLY! Oily skin needs to be cleansed more often, but under no circumstances should you use substances containing alcohol. From such procedures, the sebaceous glands begin to work more actively and the shine will increase.

For proper cleansing, wash your face twice a day and use soft products: gels or foams. It is better to wash your face with cool water, as hot water stimulates the sebaceous glands. It is useful to use essential oils: grapefruit, lemon, geranium, rosemary.

When washing your face, you can use cosmetic ice with a decoction of herbs: it gives a calming effect.

After washing, wipe your face with lotion or toner.

For deeper cleansing, use peelings 2-3 times a week. Remember that after such procedures the skin becomes very vulnerable, so it is better to do them before bed to allow time for recovery.

Oily skin also needs hydration, so be sure to use a day and night cream. A properly selected product regulates the balance of fat and removes excess shine.

Dry type

Dry skin is prone to early aging, it is sensitive and often flakes. Wrinkles appear on it early. After 25 years, the skin loses moisture and this process only intensifies with time.

Use special products to wash your face. Regular gels and foams are not suitable, choose moisturizing milk.

After washing, be sure to wipe your face with toner. Herbal tonics are very useful.

If you use a scrub, it should be gentle so as not to cause inflammation. Excessively large particles can create microtraumas, so choose a scrub with small granules or a scrub mask.

Apply moisturizer daily. You can apply the cream to dry and flaky areas several times a day.

Pay attention to sun protection. Frequent exposure to sunlight accelerates the appearance of the first wrinkles. You can apply sunscreen directly on top of your day cream.

Problem skin

If you periodically experience rashes, peeling, and redness, then your skin is of the problem type.

For care, it is not enough to cleanse and moisturize; first of all, you need to find out the reasons for this reaction and, based on this, select the right care.
Choose a cleanser depending on your problem , for example, do not choose a cleanser containing alcohol if your face is flaky.
It is advisable to seek help from a cosmetologist. Depending on the result of the examination, you may need the help of a specialist in another profile: gynecologist, endocrinologist, urologist.

It is very important to adjust your diet, give up coffee, eat less sweets, and not overeat.

Combination skin

This type combines oiliness and dryness.

To wash your face, use water at room temperature; it tightens pores and reduces flaking. Use a scrub once a week. Pay attention to oily areas of the skin and be more careful with dry areas.

Take steam baths a couple of times a month. Steam cleanses pores well and makes blood vessels work. Do this procedure before going to bed.

ATTENTION: use a different product for each area, that is, apply cream for oily skin to oily areas (t-zone) and use moisturizer for dry areas.

At each time of the year you will need special care:

• In winter, your skin may become flaky, so use products designed for dry skin.
• In the summer, use products to care for oily skin, as the heat causes excessive sebaceous secretion.

Normal type

It is elastic and does not have an oily sheen, is constantly renewed, there are no wide pores or blackheads, and it reacts less to external influences.

Women with normal skin spend less time on care. But with age, even they need to pay more attention to their face.

You can wash your face with soap, but it is better to use gel or milk. Use water at room temperature. Then you can wipe your face with an ice cube.

Do not choose a cream that is too greasy, as it will create a film and clog the pores. Stick to a liquid moisturizer with a light texture.

Sensitive

Your skin can be called sensitive if it is highly reactive, that is:

• reacts with redness and irritation to cosmetics;
• does not tolerate temperature changes well;
• it often flakes and itches, and you experience a feeling of tightness and burning.

Those with sensitive skin usually know that they need special products labeled “for sensitive skin” and avoid cosmetics with fragrances, dyes and essential oils.

Taking proper care of your face

To restore the skin and maintain its good condition, it is not enough to take care of it using only superficial products. The condition of the skin reflects the general condition of the body, so do not put off full recovery until later.

Your main assistant is simple drinking water in the amount of two liters per day. Drinking this amount of water will maintain the water balance of the epidermal cells. Following a diet is also necessary: ​​by excluding smoked, salty and fatty foods, you will protect your skin from harmful effects from the inside.

Alcoholic drinks and smoking lead to premature aging of the skin, therefore, taking care of it, even at 25 years old, this should not be neglected.

To avoid causing harm and not subjecting the skin to excessive stretching, cosmetics should be applied only along massage lines. This application will also provide a slight tonic effect.

Avoid excessive tanning, especially frequent visits to solariums with their aggressive ultraviolet exposure. On a sea holiday, use a cream with the maximum protection factor; do not sunbathe in the afternoon, when the sun's rays have the most harmful effect.

When spending a lot of time at the computer or in the office, use thermal water, available in convenient aerosol packages. It will nourish a tired face with nutrients and minerals.

Take a closer look at your decorative cosmetics. Poor-quality powder and blush can negate all the efforts put into caring for your face. Heavy texture and chemical composition have an adverse effect on the skin, clog pores and cause inflammation.

Nuances of facial skin care

Facial care involves performing cosmetic manipulations with special products.

The basic care regimen consists of several stages:

• Cleansing is the first step in the procedures before basic care. Removing decorative cosmetics every day, removing impurities and excess fat layer helps cleanse the pores. The cleansing procedure can be carried out either with ordinary tap water or with special means (micellar water, foams, lotions). It is recommended to cleanse the skin twice a day, choosing a product suitable for your skin type;

Note! Particular attention should be paid to combination skin types, since cleansing different areas requires the use of different products.

• Toning. Using a tonic is a mandatory procedure after cleansing. Tonic allows you to tighten the skin, close cleansed pores and remove excess oil. Particular attention should be paid to the choice of products for oily skin;
• Moisturizing is necessary when you feel tightness and flaking. After 25, moisturizer must be included in the cosmetic products used. When choosing, you need to pay attention to the composition of the cream; it must contain moisturizing components;

Important! When applying moisturizer, do not forget about the décolleté and neck area.

Cleansing is the first step in procedures before basic care.

• The peeling procedure involves cleansing the epidermis of dead cells. Removing the stratum corneum makes the skin soft, making the face look fresher. For home peeling, you can use both professional products and folk recipes. Recipes based on oatmeal, citrus fruits and coffee grounds are especially popular. Regular peeling gives tone to the skin, making it softer. Peeling should not be done more than once a week;
• Exposure to adverse factors negatively affects the condition of the skin. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays triggers the process of photoaging. Under bright sunlight, freckles or age spots may begin to appear. In frosty weather, frostbite and spasms of blood vessels in the dermis occur. Depending on weather conditions, you should choose sunscreen with an SPF factor of at least 15 or a rich cream;
• Massage is an excellent way to take complete care of your skin after 25 years. The procedure will slow down the appearance of wrinkles, toning the vascular system;
• Applying masks is necessary to nourish the skin with vitamins. Rejuvenation and revitalization of the skin with masks can be done at home. You can make your own mask from natural products (honey, eggs, cereal, essential oils). It is recommended to use masks no more than once a week;
• Facial care after 25 involves starting to use antioxidant products. These substances help remove reactive oxygen species and stimulate active collagen production, making the skin more elastic;
• In addition to cosmetics, the quality of the products you eat also affects your skin. Maintaining a diet based on fruits and vegetables allows you to saturate your body with vitamins and fiber, giving your skin a healthy and radiant appearance.

Stages of proper care

Complete daily facial skin care should consist of at least three mandatory steps:

1. cleansing;
2. toning;
3. applying cream.

Plus several times a week it is recommended to use:

• exfoliating products to rid the skin of dead cells;
• masks for targeted care.

In addition, there are several optional products such as serums, essences, oils.”

Cleansing

It is recommended to cleanse the skin twice a day - morning and evening - to remove impurities. The morning ritual involves only washing (depending on the skin type, gel, foam or cream are used). The evening session includes makeup removal using milk or micellar water.

Exfoliation

It is very important to promptly rid the skin of dead epidermal cells using exfoliating agents, such as:

• scrub with abrasive particles of natural or synthetic origin;
• peeling based on acids or enzymes;
• gommage, which works on the principle of “rolling off” dead cells.

The exfoliation procedure should be carried out 1-2 times a week for oily and combination skin, once every two weeks using soft, delicate products for dry skin.

Toning

Many people are too lazy to use toner, but this product, which completes the cleansing process, restores the pH of the skin and prepares it for the application of subsequent products. So you shouldn't neglect them. You need to choose a toner according to your skin type.

Recently, a fashion for essences has come from Asia to Europe - this is an intermediate product that is applied after tonic and before serum and/or cream to improve the penetration of beneficial substances into the skin. Such an essence is, for example, in the arsenal of the Kiehl’s .

Cream

Experts recommend applying face cream twice a day.

• Morning - daytime

This cream performs a variety of functions - from moisturizing and nourishing to photoprotection and rejuvenation.

• Before bed - nighttime

Night products have a richer texture. These products, as a rule, perform the functions of renewal and regeneration, because it is at night that skin cells are intensively restored, without being distracted by stress and the fight against negative environmental factors.

From the age of 25, it is worth including eye cream in your beauty routine - at this age the aging process begins in the body, although visually it is still invisible.

Serum

Facial serums are targeted products; in their formulas, the active components are concentrated to the maximum. Serums based on water, oil or gel have the lightest texture and are applied before the cream. Modern products solve a variety of skin problems - from matting to fighting free radicals.

Optional skin care products – mask, serum, essence, oil.

Mask

Once or twice a week, as well as in situations that are stressful for the skin (for example, after long flights), it is worth using face masks. There are a huge number of them, here are just three main varieties.

• Moisturizing - with hyaluronic acid or aloe extract saturates the skin with moisture and prevents its evaporation.
• Anti-aging - for example, based on collagen, has a lifting effect and makes the skin more elastic.
• Cleansing - based on clay (kaolin, gassoul) draws out impurities from pores and helps control sebum production, therefore suitable for oily skin.

Masks can be:

• creamy;
• gel;
• fabric.

The concept of proper skin care includes a healthy lifestyle.

Basic steps in skin care from 25

• Step one: cleanse and remove makeup.

You need to cleanse your skin twice a day: morning and evening. If you, like many, have had days when you tiredly went to bed without washing off your makeup, or used regular soap to wash it off, this experience should remain in the past, otherwise the future will be dry and tight skin.

• Stage two: washing.

You also need to wash your face correctly, otherwise you can only harm your skin. And the washing scheme is very simple:

Wash your hands.

Remove makeup using a special product or serum.

Remove any remaining makeup or makeup remover using a cleanser.

Use warm water. A contrast shower can be pleasant, but it puts a lot of strain on the blood vessels, which will appear in the form of a capillary network on different parts of the face: eyelids, cheeks or near the lips.

• Stage three: tone the skin.

For some reason, this stage is most often neglected. But as we already said, toning is one of the main steps in skin care. To do this, you should choose the right tonic or lotion for yourself.

The procedure is not at all complicated: apply tonic to a cotton pad and wipe your face.

• Step four: apply cream.

This is the last step in skin care. Use the cream to nourish and moisturize your skin. When choosing a cream, read the composition. To ensure that your skin receives the necessary nutrition, choose a cream containing vitamins A, E, C, P. The influence of vitamins on how healthy your skin is is difficult to overestimate. They have a nourishing, moisturizing and protective effect. The effect will be smooth and elastic skin, as well as slowing down aging.

Creams that contain flower extracts and natural juices have the same effect.

Principles and features of oily skin care

Cosmetologists give the following tips for caring for problematic and oily skin:

1. Thorough cleansing. Cleansers should not contain alcohol or other aggressive substances that will dry out the skin and increase the functioning of the sebaceous glands. They may contain tea tree oil or green tea extract.
2. Mattifying or antibacterial toners should be used at least twice a day, and if possible, wipe your face with them throughout the day. Optimal composition – zinc oxide and salicylic acid
3. Esforation twice a week. If there are inflammations on the face, then you should not use scrubs; they should be replaced with peelings. Deep cleansing will be complemented by masks based on clay or mud, which cleanse and tighten pores.
4. Twice a week you need to use moisturizing masks.
5. Night and day creams need to be replaced with fluids that are lighter in texture. They should moisturize and mattify the skin, and if necessary contain anti-inflammatory components (niacinomide, zinc oxide, tea tree extract).
6. During the day, remove excess sebum with mattifying wipes.

Nutrition and hydration of the skin after 25 years

The third step in caring for your face is to nourish and moisturize it. Proper skin care after 25 is impossible without nourishing and moisturizing it. Serums and creams cope with this task perfectly. It is necessary to select a caring cream after studying the composition. It is desirable that it contains various vitamins, especially A, E, P, C. They help slow down the aging process and the formation of wrinkles.

In addition to vitamins, the day cream should contain:

• moisturizing components;
• protective factors;
• natural and essential oils;
• antioxidants and flavonoids;
• grape seeds and other active substances.

You can take care of your face both at the age of 25-28 and 33-35 years old with the help of creams containing floral and fruit acids. After using them, the skin becomes smoother and wrinkles are less noticeable. It is best to use nourishing and moisturizing products before bed. 30 minutes before, the cream is applied for 20 minutes. After this, the residues are removed with a cosmetic napkin.

For dry facial skin, thorough hydration is important, otherwise deep wrinkles will appear by the age of 25. The skin needs nutrition, hydration and at night. Night cream is selected according to the type of dermis and age. If there are any problems, for example, the presence of facial wrinkles, then you can enrich the night cream with essential oils. The cream is applied to a cleansed and damp face for 15-20 minutes, after which the residue is removed. Otherwise, in the morning your face will be tired and greasy.

Special serums that are applied 2 times a day under day and night cream will help prolong youth. Serums are used in courses in the autumn and spring periods - 2 times a year. They contain biologically active substances that can penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis.

Water balance

Skin color and its elasticity directly depend on the water-salt balance in the body. With a lack of moisture, the skin begins to peel, loses its elasticity and takes on an unhealthy shade. Often, dehydrated, dry skin begins to react with redness to even minor environmental influences.

How to restore water balance in the body?

1. Drink enough liquid - at least 1.5 liters of clean water. But you shouldn’t consume a large amount of it before bed, so that there is no swelling on your face in the morning.
2. Add foods containing fatty acids to your diet.
3. Use cosmetic moisturizers.
4. Use a humidifier.

Massage treatments

Massage is not only pleasant, but also very beneficial for the skin. The effect of a properly selected massage will not take long to arrive.

Types of massage

• Underwater massage is a quick and effective way to sculpt your figure and tighten your skin.
• Anti-cellulite massage is convenient to do both in professional salons and at home. At home, before the massage, the skin should be steamed using a bath or hot shower. Using a regular or special washcloth, prepare problem areas for an anti-cellulite scrub.
• Lymphatic drainage massage is used both separately and in combination with other programs. It tightens the skin, removes excess fluid from the body, reduces the number of wrinkles, and has an anti-cellulite effect.
• Honey massage has nourishing and restorative properties, giving the skin elasticity. After it you will have smooth skin again. Can be used together with an anti-cellulite program.

What products should you add to your care at 25-30 years old?

If up to the age of 25, for those with healthy skin, 3 basic care products are enough - cleanser, toner and moisturizer, then after 25 you need to expand your arsenal a little.

Gel or light moisturizer for the eye area

This is the first product that I would advise girls over 25 to include in their daily care. During the day, our skin around our eyes experiences enormous stress - we constantly blink, squint, and stare at monitor screens for hours.

And the skin around the eyes is very thin, delicate and ages a little earlier than the skin of the face. A special product for the skin around the eyes will help slow down aging and smooth out the first wrinkles in this area.

Peeling for home use

This is another product that is recommended to be used regularly in your care at this age. Starting from the age of 25, the rate of cell renewal of the stratum corneum slows down, which is why our skin becomes less smooth and our complexion a little dull.

Peeling will help eliminate these first signs of age-related changes and return the skin to its previous appearance. A variety of peelings for home use are suitable for this purpose - enzyme, acid, with jojoba oil granules or with polyethylene balls.

Choose a peeling that suits your skin type and include it in your additional care.

Face masks

It also wouldn’t hurt to add one or two face masks to your cosmetic arsenal. To begin with, I would advise purchasing a moisturizing mask - this is a universal product that will be useful to everyone, regardless of skin type.

If you have normal skin without any special problems, then this will be enough for now. Those with oily and combination skin will also benefit from a good cleansing mask. For sensitive skin, it is advisable to always have a soothing mask on hand, and for dry skin, a nourishing one.

Don't forget about the skin around the eyes

After 25 years, the condition of the skin around the eyes is prone to rapid deterioration, without proper care , and the appearance of wrinkles will not take long to appear. Therefore, to the facial cleansing procedure described above, in addition to treating the facial skin with tonic, you should also add the application of an appropriate cream. When choosing a cream for the skin around the eyes, you should pay attention not only to the age category, but also to the composition. Such a cream must include vitamin E, phytoestrogens and flower acids.

Facial skin care is necessary at any time of the day. At the age of 25+, you should remember the existence of night creams. They are applied exclusively to a cleansed and still damp face. After holding the cream on your face for a while, you should remove the excess with a napkin. Such procedures will help moisturize and nourish the skin. For greater effect, the night cream can be enriched with some essential oil.

Scrubs and masks are perfect for evening cleansing. They should be used after a steam bath using medicinal herbs (chamomile, mint, calendula) and aromatic oils.

Decorative cosmetics

To prevent makeup from being harmful, it is important to remember the need for a good base, which not only protects the skin from the effects of decorative cosmetics, but also makes the makeup more durable.

The cosmetics themselves must be of high quality, since the production of cheap mass-market products uses aggressive skin-drying ingredients.

It is better to abandon regular foundation in favor of BB cream.

Buy a good set of concealers to hide the first spots and correct the shape of your face. It's better to apply a little colored concealer than to clog your pores with a thick layer of foundation.

Since makeup becomes an important part of your image as you age, and combination skin is not conducive to its longevity, pay attention to fixatives. These are special sprays that fix the makeup and prevent it from spreading throughout the day.

Acne at 25 years old - how to properly care for problem skin?

It is generally accepted that acne is a teenage disease that goes away after reaching 18-20 years of age. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Recently, acne is becoming more common in young men and women aged 25 years. The reasons can be different - hormonal imbalance, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, taking antidepressants, diet, stress, etc. Qualified specialists in medical institutions will help you understand the causes of acne. It should be understood that regardless of the nature of acne, caring for problem skin is not an easy task and requires special attention.

Daily care

Daily care for skin prone to imperfections includes 3 main steps:

• Cleansing
• Toning
• Hydration and nutrition

Cleansing problem skin should be done using special cosmetics. Gel, foam or mousse for washing will help cleanse the skin of cosmetics and impurities. A properly selected cleanser can prevent the appearance of inflammatory elements and significantly refresh the skin.

Those with problem skin should pay attention to products that contain zinc, salicylic acid, essential oils, and thermal water. Such components carefully care for the epidermis, have an antibacterial effect, allow you to minimize and regulate the functioning of the sebaceous glands, and narrow pores.

Products from TM Dermacol, Vichy, La Roche Posay, Eucerin deserve special attention.

Toning allows you to restore the water balance of the epidermis. The tonic should be used immediately after the cleansing stage, on clean facial skin. Like skin cleansers, toners may contain zinc, salicylic acid and thermal water. If you want to get a light whitening and exfoliating effect, look for fruit acids (malic, citric, lactic, etc.). When applied to the skin, acids have an anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and exfoliating effect. Bisabolol in the tonic helps relieve irritation and soothe the skin.

High-quality tonics for acne-prone skin are produced by the following brands: Kora, Natura Siberica, Ducray, La Roche Posay, Clinique.

Moisturizing and nourishing problem skin is necessary, but ordinary creams are not always able to cope with this task. To properly care and maintain the beauty of your facial skin, you need to use day and night creams.

The day cream moisturizes and mattifies problematic skin and serves as a base for makeup. An important characteristic of day cream is SPF protection.

Night cream for problem skin regulates the functioning of the sebaceous glands, fights rashes and has a calming effect. At the same time, the cream should under no circumstances clog the pores.

Creams for problem skin may contain acids (glycolic, lactic, salicylic, etc.), essential oils, zinc, allantoin, ceramides, vitamin E, etc. It is worth paying attention to cosmetics TM Noreva, Avene, Pharmaceris, Bioderma.

Additional care for skin prone to imperfections

Problematic skin especially needs additional care, which includes the use of masks, facial cleansing and peelings.

The mask, depending on the composition, allows you to cleanse the epidermis of impurities and sebaceous secretions, whiten and saturate the skin with vitamins and nutrients.

White cosmetic clay mask

is an inexpensive and effective remedy for combating acne. This mask has a pronounced cleansing and whitening effect. In addition, clay removes toxins and saturates the skin with beneficial minerals.

You can make this mask yourself at home. To do this, you will need white clay (you can buy it at your nearest pharmacy) and purified water. It is necessary to mix the ingredients until a thick consistency is obtained and apply the product to the face, avoiding the area around the eyes and lips. After 5-10 minutes, when the mask dries, it can be washed off. After using a clay mask, you need to apply a nourishing or moisturizing cream.

If you prefer to buy ready-made cosmetic products, pay attention to face masks containing kaolin (white clay) from TM Dermaglin, Elfa Pharm, Christina, Demax.

Facial cleansing is a popular and effective cosmetic procedure aimed at maintaining the beauty and health of the skin. Facial cleansing is carried out in a salon; it can be mechanical, ultrasonic or combined. Facial cleansing allows you to get rid of surface impurities, comedones and prevent clogging of the sebaceous glands. For problem skin, it is advisable to carry out salon facial cleansing once every 3 months.

Peeling is a procedure for cleansing the skin, during which the upper stratum corneum is removed, thereby renewing the skin. Peeling is successfully used in cosmetology to remove fine wrinkles, post-acne, fight pigmentation, increase the protective properties of the skin, etc. There are mechanical and chemical peelings.

• Mechanical peeling can be carried out at home using scrubs and gommages.
  The listed products contain abrasive particles, which, in the process of acting on the epidermis, remove dead skin particles. Also, scrubs for problem skin often include acids, plant extracts and vitamins. After mechanical peeling, the skin is noticeably smoothed, freckles and age spots are removed. For mechanical peeling at home, Peeling Booster with AHA Anna Lotan, scrub scrub for problem skin Eucerin, Tri-Active deep cleansing 3 in 1 Vichy Normaderm are suitable.
• Chemical peeling is a more serious procedure and is performed in a salon by an experienced cosmetologist. Various acids are applied to the skin to dissolve dead skin particles. Depending on the condition of the skin, the cosmetologist may recommend superficial, medium or deep chemical peeling.
  The undoubted advantage of chemical peeling is that along with dead cells, inflammatory elements on the upper layers of the skin are also removed. This method has proven itself to be effective in combating excess oily skin, acne, post-acne and other skin imperfections.

  To carry out the chemical peeling procedure, cosmetologists use professional products from TM New Line, Holy Land, Christina, Demax, etc.

Recommendations from a cosmetologist

• You need to wash your face 2 times a day – morning and evening. Frequent washing contributes to dehydration and dryness, which will only worsen skin problems and reduce protection against infections.
• Do not squeeze out pimples and other inflammatory elements. When squeezed out, bacteria enter the deep layers of the epidermis and aggravate the inflammatory process. Pimples and blackheads must be burned locally with alcohol or a solution of essential oils.
• Do not use products with a high percentage of alcohol for care. It is also not advisable to use soap to cleanse acne-prone skin. Such products dry out the skin and are not able to provide it with proper care.
• Choose decorative cosmetics labeled “non-comedogenic” (non-comedogenic or non-acnegenic). Such cosmetics do not clog pores, which allows those with problem skin to use them without fear.
• Remember personal hygiene. Change pillowcases, towels, sponges, and brushes as often as possible.
• Try to get enough sleep. During sleep, the skin and the body as a whole are restored.
• Eat right and regularly. It's no secret that junk food contributes to the accumulation of toxins in the body, which, in turn, negatively affects the condition of the skin.
• Drink clean water throughout the day. Together with water, toxins and waste are removed from the body. Avoid drinking a lot of water late in the evening to avoid swelling.
• Try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Play sports, spend time outdoors, get rid of bad habits (smoking, excessive drinking, etc.).

Daily hygiene is the basis of skin care at any age. Properly selected care can prevent the occurrence of skin problems and effectively combat existing imperfections.

Universal tips

There are many nuances to the use of certain means and methods; you can’t keep up with them all. The following is a list of the most important and universal tips on how to care for your skin after 25 years:

• healthy lifestyle. It doesn’t matter how old you are, regardless of your age, you need to get enough sleep, eat right, control your weight without allowing large fluctuations, and walk a lot in the fresh air. Those who want to look young and fresh at any age should under no circumstances succumb to the influence of bad habits, otherwise any care will be in vain. An active lifestyle and positive emotions are the key to healthy and glowing skin;
• you should be careful of the sun. Natural sunlight is beneficial, but only in limited doses. The formula is simple - you should sunbathe before 12 noon and after 4 pm. The use of sunscreen is mandatory!
• regular facial moisturizing and gentle care. To do this, you can use thermal water throughout the day. It is especially important to use this product for those with dry skin types. The older you are, the more often you should moisturize. Naturally, thermal water is applied exclusively to the cleansed surface of the face;
• age appropriateness of cosmetics. You should not use anti-aging facial cosmetics without proper reasons, because they are designed for mature skin and are aimed at solving more serious problems than expression wrinkles;
• control of facial expressions. The first reason for the appearance of wrinkles, far from being in old age, is excessive “antics.” Due to increased facial activity, the appearance of wrinkles on the face around the eyes and on the forehead accelerates;
• using only high-quality care cosmetics, no matter how old the person is;

Fluid balance in the body. You should not drink large amounts of liquid at night. The norm will be one glass of water no later than an hour before bedtime. Otherwise, a large amount of liquid before bed will cause swelling on the face in the morning and bags under the eyes.

After 25 years

The main care at this age is to take care of hydration for all skin types; plus matting - for oily and combination skin.

It is believed that the aging process of the body begins after 25 years, and although the appearance of visible signs is still far away, it would be nice to take care of their prevention:

• use antioxidant-based products;
• Don’t forget about creams with SPF that protect against photoaging.

We practice folk remedies

Home remedies will be an excellent addition to your care. The advantage of procedures performed at home is that you yourself determine the composition of the products you use. This way you can be sure that masks, tonics and scrubs do not contain harmful comedogenic substances and will not cause you allergies.

Home remedies for combination skin can also be broken down into cleansers, toners, and moisturizers.
