Wrong skin care can erase all our efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle and quality nutrition. So let's try to describe a few basic theses of proper skin care:

• You should take a shower regularly and be sure to wash your makeup for the night: the skin should always remain clean, free of dust, sweat, and scraped epidermis.
• The appearance of wrinkles is facilitated by low humidity and excess ultraviolet, so during the heating season, the air in the room must be moistened, and in the summer use cosmetics with UV protection.
• Frosty air and wind contribute to coarsening and reddening of the skin, which accelerates its aging.
• Stressful situations and prolonged depression can worsen the complexion and disrupt the nutrition of the epidermal tissues.
• Pick up cosmetics should be depending on the skin condition - for dry, combination, oily and problem skin, there are separate cosmetics.
• For washing, it is better to use standing or thawed water: hard chlorinated water can cause irritation and peeling of the skin.
• Water for washing and washing hair should not be hot or too cold - ideally wash with water with a temperature of +20 to +40 ° C.
• Do not intensively rub your face with a towel - this can lead to the appearance of early wrinkles. It's enough just to get wet with soft movements.
• If you use facial masks, then apply them only to cleansed skin, avoiding the area around the eyes. Remove the product gently, without undue effort.
