Moisturize the skin after cleansing
After cleansing, skin can be helped using homemade creams. To effectively moisturize the skin after the procedure, they resort to the following options:

- Let's not forget about a regular cream with a minimum fat content. It is best to use any baby cream. Apply it with a thin layer on the skin, gently massaging it. Then remove the remaining cream with a regular napkin.
- And, of course, honey is the most powerful moisturizer. One tsp honey should be diluted with water (a few drops) and apply the mixture on the face. After a third of an hour, wash off the applied moisturizer, first with moderately hot, then with ice water (without interruption).
