There are many folk recipes aimed at improving and treating facial skin. But you should focus on the principle - do no harm, so before you go directly to how to clean your face at home, you should determine your skin type. In accordance with how much facial skin is oily or, conversely, dry, you can apply these or other means. That is, what is good for oily skin will not have a beneficial effect on a face with dry skin type. And vice versa.
You can determine the oily type of skin by the expanded pores, outwardly it is thicker, similar to a porous sponge and glossy, while acne is often present on it. On dry skin, pores are almost invisible. Outwardly, it is more subtle, while its tension and tightness are often felt. The mixed type of facial skin is characterized by invisible pores, but individual areas differ markedly, for example, on the forehead, nose and chin, the skin is shiny, and the rest of the face fits the description of the dry type. As a rule, a dark shade with the absence of pores corresponds to this type of facial skin. If you have doubts about the correctness of determining your skin type, you can consult a specialist at a pharmacy or cosmetic store for free.
Let's look at how and how to clean your face at home, taking into account the type of your skin. For dry skin, cleaning is carried out once a month, and for oily skin every 2 weeks. There are many options, but we will consider only those that are simple and affordable. It is important not to cleanse the face if acne, boils, and eczema and other diseases have become inflamed on the skin. Cleansing is carried out on healthy facial skin in order to remove accumulation of fat on the skin, dead cells, black spots or whiteheads. Before cleaning, the face should be steamed over a steam bath, a hot compress or paraffin mask, after which it is recommended to wipe the face with 3% hydrogen peroxide. We proceed to the cleaning.
For oily skin: whip 3% hydrogen peroxide with a soap face cream into the foam and apply it on the skin of the face, bypassing the area of the eyes and mouth. Then apply “Extra” salt to the foam along the massage lines in a circular motion and leave to dry. At the final stage, you need to rinse the dried mixture with hot water and rinse the skin with cold water.
For dry skin: dilute green clay with water to the consistency of sour cream, add a few drops of essential oil to it and mix thoroughly. After 20 minutes, rinse off the mask with hot water and rinse your face with cold.
For combination skin, you can make a coffee scrub by mixing the cream for your skin type with natural coffee, preferably medium grinding. Apply on steamed face like regular scrubs.
Do not forget that after carrying out facial cleansing procedures, the skin needs nourishment and hydration. To do this, apply a cream or nourishing mask. Thus, making a beautiful face at home is not a problem, you just need to take care of it regularly.
