Regular washing for skin rejuvenation
One of the simplest products for facial skin care is good quality water. The water washes away the dead cells of the stratum corneum, cleans the dust, dirt, sweat and fat from the skin.
With the right approach, daily washing can become not only a hygienic procedure, but also a dressing. To preserve the youth of the skin, train yourself to wash your face by combining water. Rinse your face several times with warm water and then with cold water. Hot water expands pores, while cold water narrows them. However, it is not recommended to wash your face with very cold or very hot water. When exposed to low temperatures, the skin becomes dry and begins to peel. Hot water leads to persistent vasodilation and the skin becomes very sensitive to cold.
If you have dry skin, wash your face with soft water at room temperature. It is recommended to use a facial cleanser no more than once a week. The exception is foams and special gels with a therapeutic effect, designed specifically for dry skin.
For oily skin, you can use any cleanser twice a week: morning and evening. After washing, apply a nourishing cream to the skin and, after 20-30 minutes, remove the remains with paper towels.
For normal skin, alternating washes with clean warm and cold water are sufficient. But even normal skin requires some care. Washing with water with decoctions of medicinal herbs is very useful. Once a week, wash your face with a decoction or clean with a cotton swab dipped in warm water.
Simple folk remedies
For dry skin, washing and compresses of a decoction of chamomile, violets, rose petals, mint, lavender, ginseng root, parsley and dill are useful. Pour 200 g of boiling water over a tablespoon of any of these ingredients. The resulting broth should be insisted for 20 minutes, strain, cool.
For oily skin, a decoction of chamomile, St. John's wort, horsetail, milleft, banana, cornflower, nettle, coltsfoot, eucalyptus leaves is suitable.
For normal skin, almost any decoction based on medicinal herbs can be used, as each component nourishes the skin perfectly, giving it a healthy appearance.
Rejuvenating masks

Twice a week after cleaning your skin, lightly caress your face with your fingertips for 2 to 3 minutes. It is best to start with the forehead, in the direction of the eyebrows to the temples.
After that, knead the upper part of the cheeks from the nose to the temples. Then rub your face with your palms, from lips to ears, and massage your chin with the back of your hand.
