Cleansing your body skin should be regular and your facial skin daily.In the morning, wash your face with cold water.At night, take time to remove makeup from your face and take a shower.Oils of vegetable origin have an excellent cleansing effect.Exfoliants are used for deeper cleansing.
But don't forget that no matter how much we clean the skin on the outside, it will not look radiant and beautiful if you have health problems that it is advisable to resolve before the cleansing program.Gentle daily cleanser: Take a cotton pad and dip it in hot water, apply vegetable oil and remove makeup with circular movements.When the cotton becomes dirty, replace it with the next one.And so on until your face is clean.You can use grape seed olive and almond oils.

Rejuvenating masks for face and body
This is a must-have in an at-home skin rejuvenation program.Masks, in contact with the skin for 10-20 minutes, help to saturate the epidermis with nutrients and vitamins.They penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, nourishing it from the inside.Therefore, the effect of masks is more noticeable, especially if you apply them 1-2 times a week.But without proper cleansing, masks are ineffective and sometimes harmful, as applied to “dirty” skin can cause irritation and an allergic reaction.
