It should be applied after moistening the most problematic areas of the skin: the forehead, nose and chin. You can then apply foundation.

How to Provide an Ambulance Skin in the Spring?

Here come the long-awaited spring. However, the mirror is in no hurry to reveal to us the coveted "blooming" image: the combined effect of the winter of factors has made the black business.

The reason is that our skin has its own protective film, which collapses under the influence of winter frost, wind, dry indoor air. Deprived of the protection, the skin immediately becomes vulnerable and easily injured. As a result of lack of nutrients appear redness, peeling, acne, etc.

However, the effects of bad weather can be eliminated urgently recovery operation. Facial Care in the spring rests on three pillars: cleansing, toning and nutrition-hydration.

Purification

Wash boiled, rather than tap water. You can add herbal teas - chamomile, parsley, mint.
For a deeper cleansing, use 1-2 times a week, soft scrub and a mask film. Beauticians do not recommend professional peels and grind this time of year, since it increases the skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet rays.

Recipe natural scrub: Take the honey, egg yolk, oatmeal and baking soda 1 tbsp. l. (For sensitive skin soda can be excluded). All thoroughly, apply to clean skin evenly and to keep from 2 to 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

Toning

The final stage of cleansing - toning. Every day should be used lotion that matches your skin type. Invigorates and gives a very good effect rub an ice cube. This pleasant procedure rejuvenates the skin, smooths wrinkles, tightens pores and contributes to a natural blush. Use chamomile, peppermint, rose petals, leaves, willow and birch, St. John's wort, sage, oak bark. Pour boiling water over herbs, strain, cool, pour into molds for ice and place in refrigerator. You can combine these herbs, making different potions.

Moisturizing and nourishing

First, of course, need a moisturizer. In the cold, we enjoyed the bold, thick in texture cream, capable of one hundred percent to protect the skin from the cold and wind. Now, these creams can be sent is stored in the fridge - wait for next winter.

For dry skin, buy a good cream with shea butter or olive. For the mixed or normal enough light cream with the addition of hyaluronic acid or glycerin. Oily skin will be pleased with fluid or gel - extra fat it is not necessary, only the components that retain moisture in the cells (fruit acids, plant extracts).

To maintain skin in good shape to make regular nourishing and hydrating mask for the face, neck and décolleté.

Although a short stay at the spring sun is useful, we must not forget that in winter, skin, usually not exposed to direct sunlight, its protective function weakens and it becomes very sensitive to sunlight. In addition, to the extent of warming, you will be spending more time outdoors. Therefore it is necessary to wear sunglasses and apply a barrier cream.

Remember that to preserve youth and beauty of your skin needs all the same thing as the body as a whole - vitamins, proteins, minerals, trace minerals and carbohydrates. Be sure to include in your diet fresh fruits and vegetables and not abuse alcohol.

Proper nutrition and regular facials can help you meet the spring fully armed. Do not forget to give yourself some time and soon you will feel that upgrading along with all of nature!
