— Comprehensive skin care? For what? I washed my face with tap water this morning!

- A! Also comprehensive care in the evening? I don’t have the strength for these “complexes”! By the way, I’d like to bring my head to the pillow and save on cosmetics!

- Oh! Why is the skin on my face “gray” and there are more wrinkles? Where is my youthful glowing skin?!!

Common situation? Let's figure it out Why does our skin need care, and even a comprehensive one?. How to ensure that your facial skin remains smooth, beautiful and healthy at any age. How to prevent the appearance of hated wrinkles and correct (as much as possible) existing defects.

The face is the only part of the body that is always open: in heat and cold, in rain and wind, indoors and outdoors. The skin of the face is constantly exposed to negative environmental influences and needs, like all other skin, proper care.

You can, of course, limit yourself to morning and evening washing, occasional application of nourishing cream, and so on. The skin will gradually fade, become covered with wrinkles, mercilessly not only “giving away”, but also “adding” age, and a dull complexion will not make you more attractive!

Yes, in our modern rhythm of life there is constantly not enough time. The good news is that For comprehensive facial skin care, only 4 minutes a day are enough: 2 minutes in the morning and 2 minutes in the evening.

Is it a lot or not enough to achieve a great result?

Comprehensive care, that is, a step-by-step effect on all levels of the skin, improves the functioning of cells in both the superficial and deep layers of the skin. It is very important that the care is systematic, and each step complements the previous one.

By following all steps of the system, the effect of each product is optimized as much as possible, since the formulas of each facial skin care product complement each other.

Comprehensive facial skin care is important at any age. Oriflame skin care products are designed taking into account skin type and age. Feel free to choose what suits you!

What are the steps of comprehensive care?

Step 1. Cleansing and toning
Step 2. Eyelid skin care
Step 3. Activator
Step 4. Basic care

Why are each of the steps necessary?

Step 1 - Cleansing and Toning

Comprehensive skin care always begins with cleansing.

Cleansers remove makeup residue and skin impurities. If there is a lack of cleansing, everything cosmetical tools are poorly absorbed and have insufficient effect, and also create conditions for inflammation and irritation.

Cleansing the skin should be done twice a day: morning and evening.

Morning and evening cleansing, in addition to removing various impurities and makeup, prepares the skin to more effectively accept the active components of the cosmetic products you use.

In addition, during the cleansing process you perform a kind of light massage, which makes the lymphatic system work better, improves blood circulation, and fills the cells with additional energy.

To remove dirt and makeup, be sure to use both a cleanser and a toner.

Choose a cleanser according to your skin type.

Milk - the gentlest of all products for daily skin cleansing. Most suitable for women with normal, dry, dehydrated, sensitive and stress-prone skin.

Shower gel - removes secretions from the sebaceous glands without causing a feeling of tightness. Mattifies oily skin areas, tightens pores and relieves inflammation. Suitable for women with combination, oily or problematic skin.

Tonic - complete the cleansing stage. Tonic removes the remnants of cleanser from the surface of the skin, preparing the skin for the subsequent application of cosmetics.

Thorough cleansing and toning of the skin allows the active substances in creams and serums to penetrate deeper and act more effectively.

Step 2 - Eyelid Skin Care

The skin of the eyelids is thin and sensitive, which is explained by its structure. She ages first and it is there that the first wrinkles, swelling and dark circles. It is recommended to take care of her from the age of 20-25.

Eyelid skin products have a soft texture, and the ingredients are selected in such a way that blood circulation improves, wrinkles are reduced, and dark circles disappear.

Use these products morning and evening, applying a small amount to the eyelids using gentle massage movements.

Step 3 - Activator
IN modern world It is not enough just to use day or night cream. Now it is recommended to use highly concentrated products (serums or capsules).

Serums have a light texture and a high concentration of active ingredients; they are used for maximum penetration of day and night creams, providing a pronounced visual effect.

The serum is used twice a day, morning and evening, before applying day or night cream.

Step 4 - Basic Care

The final and most important stage in comprehensive care is the use of day and night products. This is a necessary condition for maintaining healthy and youthful skin. The creams contain all the ingredients necessary for the skin.

Daily cream moisturizes, protects the skin from the adverse effects of environmental factors,
ultraviolet rays, photoaging.

Night cream has a powerful restorative and nourishing effect.

Only permanent and daily use creams leads to maximum results - young and radiant skin!

Maintaining beauty, health and radiance of your skin is easier with comprehensive care. Each step perfectly complements the previous one, and specially developed formulas enhance each other’s effectiveness.

Spend just four minutes twice a day on comprehensive care, and the results will not be long in coming!

“Don’t be born beautiful, but... become one!” We live in an imperfect world: the environment is too polluted, harmful UV rays from the sun, tasty but very unhealthy food in the form of smoked meats, pickles, and bad habits smoking, frequent alcohol consumption large quantities etc. All this does not have the best effect on our well-being and skin, especially on the face and, ultimately, on our appearance.

And how I want to be beautiful!!!

The skin consists of two layers - the dermis and epidermis. The dermis layer is deeper, it contains blood vessels through which substances are delivered with the blood to all cells of the body, nourishing our skin from the inside, as well as collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin.

Facial skin care from Oriflame

IN at a young age the process of transformation of epidermal cells is about 20-40 days; after 25 years, this process slows down and by the age of 40 it reaches 80 days. With age, other undesirable changes occur: the skin loses moisture, the structure of collagen and elastin fibers is disrupted, their number decreases, the skin loses its ability to effectively protect itself from the negative influence of the environment, and wrinkles appear.

Daily skin care from Oriflame to maintain your beauty is a 4-stage care program (cleansing or washing, toning, moisturizing and nourishing) plus two auxiliary stages (masks and scrubs).

Regular use of facial skin care cosmetics will help you not only cope with problems arising from an unfavorable environment, but also maintain and even improve the condition of your skin for a long time.

Stage 1. Washing and Cleansing
The procedure of washing and cleansing must be carried out 2 times a day - in the morning (after a night's sleep, because even during sleep the skin secretes sebaceous secretions and sweat glands work) and in the evening (it is necessary to clean the skin pores from dust, dirt contained in the atmosphere, remove decorative cosmetics and dead skin cells). Washing is a cleansing procedure that is comfortable for those with oily and combination skin. Soft non-alkaline products are suitable for her, such as - Cleansing gel from the Aloe collection; - Cleanser (for oily skin) and balancer (for combination skin) from the “Optimals” collection. Application: lather a drop of Cleansing Gel in your palms, apply to the skin of the face and neck, excluding the area around the eyes, and rinse with water. For those with normal to dry skin, Oriflame recommends cleansing creams or milk. Application: Apply the cleansing cream or milk to the skin of the face and neck with gentle movements along the massage lines, excluding the area around the eyes. After a couple of minutes, the product must be removed from the face with a cotton swab moistened with boiled water.

Stage 2. Toning
This stage completes the cleansing procedure, refreshes and soothes the skin, restores the acid-base balance of the skin, gently tightens pores, restores the skin's moisture level and optimally prepares it for the application of products related to the following stages. The active components included in the tonic formula enhance the effect of other cosmetics. Application: apply a small amount of tonic to a cotton pad and wipe the skin of the face and neck along the massage lines, excluding the area around the eyes. Oriflame offers a wide range of tonics depending on age and skin type.

Stage 3: Moisturize
This stage is carried out in the morning, it is recommended for use from 14-15 years of age. This is one of the most important stages of facial skin care. Day cream moisturizes the skin, thanks to which it retains its elasticity and softness longer, protects the skin from harmful UV radiation and other adverse environmental factors (dust, dirt, cold, wind, etc.). In addition, any moisturizer from Oriflame is an excellent basis under makeup.
Application: every morning, apply a small amount of cream to cleansed and toned skin of the face and neck and distribute evenly over the skin, excluding the area around the eyes. Oriflame offers moisturizing creams depending on skin type, age and solutions to any individual skin problems.

Stage. 4. Food
At the nutrition stage, a night nourishing cream is used - a product that restores skin functions, activates metabolic processes, and saturates the skin with nutrients. Nourishing cream is recommended for use from 20-25 years old, because... It is at this age that the natural resources of the skin begin to deplete and the skin (especially dry) requires additional support.
Application: every evening 1 hour before bedtime, apply a small amount of cream to cleansed and toned skin and distribute evenly over the face and neck, excluding the area around the eyes.
The Oriflame company offers and recommends choosing a night nourishing cream for yourself, depending on your age, skin type and individual characteristics of the body. To achieve maximum effect, daily 4-step care should be enhanced with special products - masks and exfoliators.

Masks

Depending on the composition of the mask, they cleanse the skin, stimulate metabolic processes, maintain an optimal level of moisture, regulate the secretion of sebaceous secretions, and saturate the skin with vitamins.
Application: masks are used 1-2 times a week at the stage between cleansing and toning. Carry out the mask procedure no later than 3 hours before going outside (and better evening). Apply the mask to cleansed skin of the face and neck, excluding the area around the eyes, and rinse with water after 10-15 minutes. Remove the film mask from bottom to top after complete drying. Wipe your skin with tonic. It is not recommended to talk or smile during the mask procedure. Facial muscles should be relaxed and motionless.

Masks and scrubs are active And effective means care, so their use has a number of limitations.

Mask and exfoliation procedure It is not recommended to carry out simultaneously.

“We are all at the celebration of life and should not spoil it with our appearance”

Surface layer of skin - epidermis- consists of cells that continuously divide and, as they grow, gradually moving towards the surface of the skin, die. During cleansing, water procedures these cells slough off, giving way to new ones.

When caring for your facial skin, you need to consider the following factors:

• age;
• skin type;
• time of year (in winter the skin is exposed to the drying effects of frost and central heating, therefore it is more irritable and sensitive, and in summer the skin needs protection from harmful UV rays;
• individual characteristics of the body (sensitivity, allergy, etc.).

Skin type is formed during puberty and remains until the end of life; after 30 years, the skin becomes drier, this is due to a slowdown in metabolism.

There are 4 main skin types:

• Normal skin- practically never found in its pure form. It is the perfect balance of natural release of moisture, fat and acids. The pores on normal skin are not enlarged, the skin is soft to the touch, not shiny, not flaky, looks fresh, not shiny, but not dull either. With age, such skin is prone to dryness.
• Dry skin- often occurs in people with fair skin, such skin is characterized by a state of tightness, weak elasticity, roughness to the touch, peeling often occurs, the shade is matte, dull. The main thing in caring for dry skin is sufficient hydration, nutrition and effective protection.
• Oily skin- the result of the activity of the sebaceous glands, signs: enlarged pores, oily shine, periodic appearance of “black or white spots”, so-called comedones, pimples, blackheads. Such skin has its advantages: a protective lipid film prevents any influence from the external environment and protects the skin from moisture loss, so this skin remains smooth and elastic for a long time. The basic rule in caring for oily skin is high-quality cleansing and regular comprehensive care.
• Combination skin- a combination of oily (forehead, nose, chin) and dry or normal (cheekbones, cheeks) areas of the skin.

In addition to the main skin types, there are so-called problematic skin and sensitive.

• Problem skin- the result of changes occurring in the body during the period of hormonal changes (adolescence), expressed by enlarged pores, active secretion of sebaceous secretions, inflammation and rashes. For supportive care of such skin, it is necessary to use products with special drying and bactericidal additives.
• Sensitive skin- the result of the body’s special susceptibility to action internal factors the body or external environmental factors, to which it reacts with redness, itching, and peeling. For such people, it is advisable to conduct preliminary testing of products. To do this, product samples are used: a small amount of cosmetic product must be applied to the skin of the inner surface of the elbow or behind the earlobe. This procedure must be carried out several times over 2-3 days. If peeling, redness, itching or burning appears on the skin, then this product is not suitable. If there are no changes, then the product is recommended for continuous use.

"A woman should be at 20 years old - delightful, at 40 years old - charming and irresistible for the rest of your life.”

Scrubs or exfoliating masks
With the help of a scrub, the skin is deeply cleansed of dead particles, blood circulation is stimulated, and the complexion improves. With regular use, scrubs reduce the number of comedones (blackheads on the skin) and prevent their appearance.
Application: apply a small amount of scrub to cleansed skin, massage the skin a little with your fingertips, leave for 3-5 minutes, then rinse with water and wipe your face and neck with toner. For oily and combination skin, the exfoliation procedure must be carried out 1-2 times a week, for dry skin - once every 7-10 days, no later than 3 hours before going outside (but preferably in the evening).

Facial skin care - comprehensive care - facial beauty
in Oriflame catalogues.

The skin is the largest part of the body that is in constant use throughout life.
The condition of the skin largely depends on age, nutrition and lifestyle. Her healthy and blooming appearance is the result of good health and constant care. The face is the most exposed part of the skin, and therefore it needs constant care.

Let's remember the most important things.
Our skin is:
● about 5 million hairs;
● total area 1.5 square meters;
● 60% moisture;
● 100 pores per square cm;
● 200 receptors per square cm;
● average thickness is about 1–2 millimeters;
● coarser and thicker on the soles, thinner and more transparent on the eyelids;
● on average 18 kg of dead and newly replaced skin during a person's life.

The skin consists of three layers, two of which are directly responsible for its appearance - the dermis and epidermis.

Dermis
The inner layer of the skin, consisting of special cells - fibroblasts that produce collagen and elastin. Collagen gives the skin the necessary density, and elastin gives it elasticity, the ability to stretch and contract. The dermis is replete with blood vessels that nourish the skin; it contains sebaceous glands that secrete a natural “cream” that moisturizes and protects the skin.
Epidermis
The top layer of the epidermis is the stratum corneum, together with which the epidermis forms the visible outer layer of skin. In the border zone between the dermis and epidermis, new cells are formed, which during development move into the outer stratum corneum.

How skin ages
Young, healthy skin is elastic and well-hydrated, and new cells are formed every 28 days. With age metabolic processes slow down, which causes natural biological aging of the skin. Avoid completely natural aging skin is impossible, as well as aging of the whole organism, although this process can be slowed down.
In order to effectively resist the biological process of aging, the skin needs to fully perform its basic functions: nutrition, hydration, self-renewal, respiration and protection.
Premature skin aging is caused by two main reasons: adverse environmental influences and improper lifestyle, as well as improper care. Your skin suffers from stress and poor nutrition, alcohol and smoking, exposure to ultraviolet radiation and polluted air, physical inactivity and other negative factors.

In order to keep your skin young and healthy longer, start taking care of it with early age. And don’t forget that your skin requires comprehensive and balanced care.

Secrets of skin types
Dry skin
Thin, delicate, transparent, matte surface, pores are not noticeable. Does not tolerate washing with industrial soap, is sensitive to wind, cold, and UV radiation. Dry skin is caused by dehydration, underactive sebaceous glands and aging, and is common in people with fair skin. Such skin is characterized by a feeling of tightness, weak elasticity, redness on the cheeks and chin, and the first wrinkles appear on it early. The main thing in caring for dry skin is to compensate for the weak activity of the sebaceous glands with abundant hydration and nutrition, and to retain moisture in the skin. Dry skin ages faster.

Sensitive skin
This is not allergic skin. This type of skin can be found in any age group. Its distinctive feature is the presence of red veins and capillaries visible on the surface of the skin. The appearance of such veins is the result of poor elasticity of blood vessels, which worsens from spicy foods, alcoholic drinks, temperature differences, ultraviolet rays - everything that causes blood vessels to expand and contract excessively. Such skin is irritable and very sensitive to the effects of fragrances, so care products sensitive skin do not contain fragrances.

Normal skin
Clean, smooth, fresh, matte surface, pores are not noticeable. There is no peeling. No hypersensitivity. Contains a sufficient amount of moisture and fat and does not require special care. But normal skin in its pure form is rare. It is the perfect balance of naturally occurring moisture, fat and acids. Pores on normal skin are not enlarged. The skin is soft to the touch, not shiny or flaky. With age, it becomes prone to dryness. Needs supportive care.

Oily skin
It has a greasy sheen and a grayish tint. Excess sebum affects the nose, forehead, chin, cheeks, back, chest, and scalp. This type of skin needs thorough cleansing morning and evening. She needs hydration, and fatty creams are contraindicated. Oily skin is the result of overactive sebaceous glands. More often characteristic of dark-skinned people. Signs of oily skin: enlarged pores, oily shine and often the presence of comedones and blackheads. Oily skin retains elasticity longer, is thicker, and ages more slowly, since sebum secretion normalizes with age.
It is important to remember that attempts to cleanse your face of fat will lead to more active release of it. Only the excess fat that has formed needs to be removed. In summer you can use products for oily skin, and in winter you can use products for dry skin.

Combination skin
Oily in the “T-shaped” zone: forehead, nose and chin; in other areas the skin is dry. The most common skin type, since the “T-shaped” zone has the highest concentration of sebaceous glands.
Mixed skin requires different ways care of individual parts.

Skin care in different seasons
Skin care should depend on the time of year:
●B winter time the skin is thinner and susceptible to the drying effects of frost and central heating. She is easily irritated and sensitive.
● In summer, the skin loses less moisture and becomes denser. Needs protection from ultraviolet rays.

Daily care
Daily constancy and consistency, combined with periodic special procedures, are the most important thing in skin care. It is also important when choosing a skin care system to take into account all factors - skin type, its age, time of year, and the individual characteristics of your body.

Teenagers
The skin responds sensitively to hormonal changes in the body. The result is excessive activity of the sebaceous glands and clogged pores, comedones, which begin to become inflamed, forming acne. Skin needs careful daily care. ()

Twenty year olds
The skin should be in the best condition, but if you don’t start caring for it, the first signs of aging will appear closer to thirty, and even by 25 on dry skin. Proper skin care will help prolong its youth.(,).
Thirty year olds
Skin care at thirty is about nourishing it. With age, metabolic processes in the skin slow down, and the activity of the sebaceous glands decreases. The most important thing is to cleanse the skin without drying it out, and then moisturize it, because it is on dry areas of the skin that wrinkles first appear.( , )
Forty year olds
Well visible wrinkles appear in the eye area and around the mouth. Closer to fifty, lips lose elasticity and density, before the onset of menopause.
The activity of the sebaceous glands slows down, the skin becomes drier and more susceptible to peeling. ( , )
Fifty years old and older
The time has come when age inexorably begins to reflect on the skin of the face. Collagen and elastin gradually disappear, wrinkles become deeper, and the skin becomes drier. The release of a number of hormones during menopause slows down, therefore, skin regeneration processes weaken. It is also possible that its color may deteriorate due to sluggish metabolism. (

Skin care steps
Washing
This stage of skin care is very important at any age and with any skin. By washing your face, you cleanse it of decorative cosmetics, dirt and excess fat; It is important not to disturb the acid-base balance of the skin. Cosmetologists do not recommend washing your face with soap, as it greatly degreases the skin, causing dryness and irritation, and also tightens the pores too much without cleansing them. Specially developed products gently but effectively cleanse your face of makeup and dirt.
Cleansing
Daily cleansing of your face morning and evening is vital. By cleansing your face in the morning, you remove excess oil and dead skin particles. In the evening, removing remnants of makeup and dirt, you prepare your skin for proper sleep, rest and recovery.
Toning
With the help of tonic the following is achieved:
● remnants of cleansing cream and poorly soluble particles of cosmetics are removed;
● pores are deeply cleansed and tightened;
● the acid-base balance and skin moisture level are restored.
Hydration
Moisturizer is a key product in your skin care system. Regardless of skin type, the cream is applied to it during the day before applying makeup. Day cream is a life-giving mixture of softening, nourishing, moisturizing substances with herbal additives. It forms a protective film on the skin and prevents moisture loss, making the skin soft and soft.
Nutrition
The older the skin, the more it needs nutrition and hydration. Night cream restores skin functions and promotes better absorption of natural nutrients. Applied to cleansed, warm and relaxed skin, it is designed to help it maximize the nutrients from the blood, as well as receive additional moisture from the outside throughout your eight hours of sleep.

It is unlikely that anyone can feel happy if there is no health and beauty, and this especially applies to women. Of course, appearance is very important for men too - today they are increasingly aware of its importance in achieving success, but women have always, at all times, cared about looking good.

Without permanent and proper care It is impossible to look good, but many women think that in their youth it is not necessary to carefully care for their skin, and then they wonder why wrinkles appeared so early?

You should always take care of your skin, from a very young age - this is the only way to preserve its health, youth and beauty. The skin of the face and neck especially needs care - it is always open and is often exposed to the negative influences of the external environment.

primary goal facial care– ensure its normal condition and functioning, as well as prevent early aging. You need to take care of your face in accordance with its type, age and individual characteristics. Of course, facial care products, both homemade and modern cosmetic ones, are always needed differently, but the principles of care, as well as its practical stages, are always the same.

To keep your facial skin healthy and always looking good, you need to follow at least the basic principles of care. First of all, the skin needs cleansing - dirt, fat, remnants of decorative cosmetics and dead cells must be regularly removed from its surface.

It is necessary to moisturize the skin in order to maintain optimal water balance, soften it and smooth it out.

Any skin type and at any age needs proper nutrition - both from the inside and outside - because the skin has the ability to absorb, so let it absorb what will make it smooth and fresh. And of course, the skin always needs protection that protects it from aggressive factors at any time of the year.

Therefore, all cosmetic products can be divided depending on the tasks they perform.

Facial care: facial cleansing

Soap is the simplest means of cleaning, but it often dries out the skin. Fortunately, today you can buy soap that does not contain alkali: such soap does not deprive the skin of moisture, but gently cleanses pores, prevents the appearance of acne and pleasantly refreshes. A product such as cleansing milk is suitable for any skin type - the milk is applied to the face and then washed off with water.

Dry skin is best cleansed with cream. Skin cleansing creams are usually liquid, they are easily applied to the skin, dissolve impurities and cosmetic residues, and then are easily removed using a cosmetic napkin or disc.

Cleansing cream is also used to care for normal and sensitive skin, while combination, problem and oily skin is best cleansed using foaming gels.

After cleansing, facial skin needs toning. Tonics remove remnants of cleansers and excess fat from the skin, restore acid-base balance, cool and refresh, improve blood circulation and prepare for further care behind the face. As a rule, after using a tonic, cosmetic products are absorbed and penetrated into the skin much better.

Tonics can be divided into two main types. The first type includes tonics for dry and normal skin: they contain no alcohol, they moisturize and soften the skin.

For combination and oily skin, tonics with moisturizing, disinfecting, astringent and matting substances are used. They may also contain alcohol, so when choosing a tonic you need to be more careful, since the condition of dry and normal skin can worsen from alcohol.

Facial care: moisturizing facial skin

The next stage is moisturizing the skin. After cleansing, you need to restore the skin's protective barrier and create conditions for it to retain water. The semi-permeable lipid film that moisturizers create on the skin prevents moisture from evaporating from its surface.

Modern moisturizers contain very effective components - for example, collagen and hyaluronic acid, which retain a lot of water molecules. Moisturizers should include a UV filter - this way the skin will be protected from exposure to sunlight at any time of the year.

Day cream should protect the skin during the day and retain as much moisture as possible, and night cream helps the skin recover from daytime stress, relieves stress and supplies it with nutrients - they are better absorbed at night.

The skin around the eyes is much thinner than in other areas, and the load on it is always greater, so it is necessary to use special creams and gels to care for the skin around the eyes, removing swelling and swelling, restoring tone and preventing the appearance of wrinkles. Products for the care of the skin around the eyes are delicate, restoring its firmness and elasticity.

Today there are a lot of cosmetic products that provide skin nutrition. Cosmetic companies produce nourishing creams, which include moisturizing and biologically active components: antioxidants, vitamins, plant extracts, essential fatty acids and others necessary for the skin substances. With regular use, such creams help maintain the health and freshness of any skin.

Facial care: facial skin protection

Protective products must also be used every day to protect the skin from many aggressive factors: direct sunlight, strong wind, heat, frost, temperature changes, etc. Protective products should be applied before going outside - as a rule, they contain silicone and UV filters.

Additional facial care

Our skin needs not only basic care, but also special care that complements it - for example, scrubs that are used to cleanse the skin of old, dead cells and improve blood circulation; masks for different types skin – nourishing, rejuvenating, etc. When caring for your facial skin, it is very important to consider its type.

Any skin should be kept clean, but products for cleansing, as well as for further care, are selected depending on its type - this is mandatory. Cosmetologists distinguish 4 skin types. Those with normal skin are lucky, but other skin types are more common: combination, dry and oily. If the skin in the T-zone - forehead, nose, chin - is oily, and on the cheeks it is dry, then it can be considered combination; dry skin is very thin, sensitive, sensitive to any influence; oily skin thick, shiny, with enlarged pores, and often develops blackheads and pimples.

Skin type is usually easy to determine by appearance. If in doubt, you should apply it to your face a couple of hours after washing. paper napkin and press lightly: those areas from which oily stains appear on the napkin are greasy. This means that the skin is combination, or mixed - this type is more common than others.

In youth and middle age, facial skin is usually dry on the cheeks, temples and around the eyes, and oily in the T-zone. Therefore, mixed facial skin requires special care. different areas faces. After washing, dry areas should be lubricated with cream, and oily areas should be treated with a special lotion or tonic to prevent the appearance of blackheads and pimples.

Dry facial skin should be treated with special attention, otherwise it, with its susceptibility to external influences, quickly becomes thinner and ages prematurely. If care is insufficient or incorrect, such skin begins to peel off, loses elasticity and fades, becoming covered with wrinkles. Therefore, every time after washing and cleansing you need to use special creams or balms for dry skin.

Oily facial skin appears rough and may resemble lemon or orange peel. Very often, black dots - comedones - form on it, since excess sebum, mixing with dust and dead cells, clogs the pores and does not allow the skin to breathe. Therefore, inflammation and acne often appear - especially in the T-zone. You need to look after oily skin very carefully, and then it will feel quite normal: wash and cleanse the skin correctly, choose special means care, and do all this regularly - oily skin, if not taken care of, can very quickly turn into problematic skin.

All these simple rules will help you maintain the beauty and youth of your skin longer. With proper, daily care, skin of any type will be fresh, smooth and well-groomed, and your mood will be wonderful.

Today there are more and more cosmetic products - their choice is almost unlimited. However, the main thing is to choose what is right for you, so consultations with specialists - experienced cosmetologists and dermatologists - are never superfluous.

After all, high-quality, correctly chosen cosmetics can really turn our every day into a real holiday!
