To keep your face healthy, young and beautiful for a long time, you need to take proper care of it. Namely - to cleanse qualitatively. Together with an expert beautician, we will tell you how to cleanse your face at home step by step.
The first step in facial skincare is cleansing. No expensive creams and procedures at a beautician will help to preserve her beauty and health if you do not start with the simplest and most obvious - cleaning. The good news is that the procedure can be done at home, but it is important to know how to properly cleanse your skin on your own.
As cosmetologists say, the skin is the largest organ of our body. It protects, participates in the regulation of body temperature, maintains water-salt and hormonal balance, that is, it does not the easiest job.
- Our skin is composed of several layers. At each, we can help her:
The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin. It provides a waterproof barrier and tones our skin. It must be protected, protected from the sun (use SPF-means), avoid exposure to aggressive substances and, of course, cleaned.
The dermis is located under the epidermis and contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It contains collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for healthy skin. Collagen gives the skin strength and flexibility, while elastin helps to restore its elasticity and helps to return to its original shape after stretching. With age and under the influence of external factors, the production of elastin and collagen in the skin gradually decreases. Correct lifestyle and nutrition, cosmetic procedures, and professionally selected home care will help to replenish them.
Hypodermis (subcutaneous fat) - deeper subcutaneous tissue, consists of adipose and connective tissue. It retains heat, protects vital internal organs. With aging, the amount of tissue in this layer decreases, sagging outlines are formed (for example, the oval of the face). Facial massage, regular visits to a beautician, proper nutrition and lifestyle, professional home care can help. From the above, it is clear that the first step in everything is skin cleansing.
