A complex thing, the skin should be treated with care and respect.
Normal skin, whilst being quite obviously the least difficult and most manageable type, still requires cleaning, nourishing, replenishing and moisturising.
1. In the morning, refresh your skin with rose water or an alcohol-free astringent tonic and moisturise it with a mild, non-greasy cream, preferably made from natural ingredients without petroleum by-products.
2. Use a top quality make-up, but do not overindulge. Before bed, gently wash your face with a mild soap, such as goat milk soap, and put on a bit of an oil-based nourishing cream, paying particular attention to the areas around your eyes.
3. After about 15 minutes, gently pat your skin dry with a napkin.
4. Once a week, use an egg yolk mask, or any other natural and non-drying mask to feed and rejuvenate your face skin.
5. agent. Do not forget to take care about your body, as well. Every day after showering, use a mild moisturising
Dry skin requires more work, a little more care, and some tender love, but it can look as good as normal skin, with the right products. It is prone to flaking, irritating, and fast ageing.
1. If your skin is dry, you should use only natural and rich skin-care products, such as undiluted shea butter, extra-virgin coconut oil, or home-made herbal oils.
2. Apply them twice a day and allow some time for your skin to absorb nourishing and moisturising ingredients from the oil before putting a hypoallergenic make-up on.
3. Try not to use tap water, if you must wash it, use sparkling water.
4. Instead, clean your facial skin with mild cleansing milks or herbal infusions. With good care, dry skin will always look healthy and smooth.
5. Get a humidifier, it should be on day and night, in winter and in summer, because air conditioning, which is always on, dries your skin every single day
Oily, greasy skin requires the opposite approach - instead of putting an emphasis on nourishing, you should focus on removing excess oil from it, hydrating, cleaning enlarged pores, and preventing or treating acne.
1. Wash your skin about 2-3 times a day, but use a mild soap only once a day, because otherwise oil glands will be stimulated to produce even more sebum.
2. Use only non-greasy moisturisers and tone your face often with alcohol-free herbal tonics or ice cubes, which will restore the health and balance of your skin.
3. The best masks for oily skin are those featuring drying and hydrating ingredients, for example, clay, papaya, or yogurt.
4. Apply once a week and make sure to rinse your face thoroughly with cool water after about 20 minutes.
5. In case of acne, remove sugar and other carbohydrates from your diet and make sure not to eat any processed foods.
Sensitive skin is always very dry and irritated - this is why you should take a very thorough care of it using the above tips for dry skin.
1. Watch what you eat and make sure to consume a fair amount of essential fatty acids, organic protein, yogurt, and lacto-fermented fruits and vegetables.
2. Remember that women who eat a vegetarian, or even worse so, a vegan, diet, usually develop very dry, wrinkled, and irritated skin.
3. Use hypo-allergenic products for your beauty routine, preferably the ones that have natural components.
4. Be gentle with your skin, no unnecessary rubbing or massaging, as you may worsen the condition.
5. Avoid harsh procedures, such as peelings (even the mildest ones, for they will irritate your skin).
