Skin cleansing and detox
1. After any holiday party, the first step is to remove any makeup residue. micellar water or cleansing milk.
Micellar water is gaining great popularity every year. Micelles are cleansing particles of different types: PEG – the cheapest synthetic micelles that require mandatory rinsing, Poloxamer – more innovative particles for gentle cleansing of the skin, Coco-Glucoside – the most expensive and natural kind of micelles based on sugar and coconut oil … Therefore, when choosing a product, be sure to study its composition.
Milk и cream – an excellent choice for cleansing dry and sensitive skin! These products not only cleanse the skin, but also act as an additional step in skin care. The milk has a soft but rich texture, thanks to which it gently cleanses, nourishes and softens the skin. Cosmetic creams have a thicker consistency than milk, contain more fat, and are therefore ideal for dry skin.
2. A good way to give your face vivacity and freshness will be a contrast shower. with cleansing scrubs or brushes for the skin.
Scrubs are an excellent exfoliating agent and are:
from natural ingredients (fruit pits: apricot, raspberry, kiwi or charcoal scrubs), which in their pure form can be tough enough for the delicate skin of the face;
more pleasant melting sugar scrubs using silica – soft granules that gently exfoliate the skin.
Also, the popularity of scrubs with perlite – volcanic crumbs that effectively exfoliate the skin without damaging it.
Brushes are good helpers in cleansing the skin from impurities. For oily skin they can be used more often, while for dry and sensitive skin it is worth doing it more gently so as not to injure the skin.
Moisturizing the skin
Moisturizing the skin is the first thing to think about after the holidays to restore hydrobalance, because alcohol and fatty or salty foods are the main causes of skin dehydration.
1. For quick skin moisturizing work well fabric masks. After a night of fun, swelling and swelling may appear on the skin, from which a moisturizing sheet mask will save. You can opt for a radiance toning mask to brighten your complexion, or with aloe extract to soothe your skin. Impregnating lotions in masks based on caprylates, polymers or silicones have approximately the same function: they instantly fill in wrinkles, attract water to the upper layers, so the skin looks fresh and rejuvenated. Nicyamide is also often used in fabric masks, which brightens the skin and evens out its tone.
2. They will save you from swelling on the eyelids hydrogel patches. How to understand the variety of patches when the price for them varies from 500 to 1500 rubles? The difference is usually in the country of manufacture and composition.
Chinese-made hydrogel patches are most often made from synthetic materials, which, due to the high hydration of the skin, are a good basic care for swelling. Korean-made patches are created on the basis of gum and natural algae. They are denser in composition, and also carry the function of not only cooling, but also care – nutrition and hydration.
3. In addition to quick facial care, basic care will be based on creams or serum for face.
Serums are usually on the water и oil based and are matched to the type of skin or the type of problem.
Light water-based creams and serums with hyaluronic acid or herbal extracts are great for any skin type. They will attract water to the skin cells, which will give it excellent hydration.
For dry and sensitive skin gel, dense, oily serums with herbal extracts or nourishing creams with a high oil intake are suitable.
For oily skin water-based liquid serums with a high sebum-regulating effect or mattifying creams are also suitable.
For aging skin look for rulers with anti-age or lifting effect. They are recommended for aging skin and active wrinkle formation.
