Morning: how to wake up the skin

Morning facial

Contrasting wash

After washing your face, rinse your face alternately with warm (but not hot) and cold water. A change in temperature activates blood flow and lets the skin know that a new day has come and it’s time for her to wake up. Start and end the treatment with warm water.

And before that, check if your skin is getting enough sleep.

Moisturizing Mask

The first thing to do after waking up is to drink a glass of water to speed up the body’s metabolism and quench the body’s morning thirst. This will invigorate the skin, and it will perceive the subsequent care with greater willingness and gratitude.

Apply a moisturizing gel mask with antioxidants. A good option is a sheet mask that fits snugly around your face, which means it won’t get in the way of you doing business while you work. The cool, refreshing texture that distinguishes moisturizing masks will serve as an additional source of vigor.
