What are the stages of skin care

The facial steps are the same for all skin types, only the cosmetics used are different.

Stage number 1: cleansing

You need to cleanse your face twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. In a dream, the skin is actively regenerating, secreting sebum and sweat, so in the morning you also need to use a cleansing gel, and not just rinse your face with water. In the evening, you will need makeup remover to remove street dust and makeup from your face - if you use it. The product should not be kept on the face for a long time: if the makeup does not lend itself, it is better to lather several times and rinse off immediately.

After the make-up remover, you can complete the cleansing step by washing with gel, foam or milk. They will help to gently remove residual impurities and prepare the skin for subsequent care.

Stage number 2: gentle peeling

Peeling helps to remove dead skin particles and prevents the appearance of blackheads and acne. It evens out the skin, facilitating the penetration of beneficial components into deeper layers. The regularity depends on the type of skin: for oily and combination skin, you can do one or two procedures per week, for normal - one per week, for dry - one in two weeks.

Stage number 3: toning

The toner restores the skin's natural pH level, neutralizes the effect of cleansers and prepares for the next step - hydration. Apply the product to a cotton pad and gently wipe your face before applying the cream.

Stage 4: moisturizing

Without enough moisture, the complexion can become dull, and the skin can lose its firmness, freshness and healthy appearance. Moisturizing daily can prevent dryness, laxity and premature wrinkles. Look for aloe, hyaluronic acid, urea, and glycerin in your products.

Stage number 5: nutrition

Nutrition - saturation of the skin with useful components. Due to external influences, the protective barrier can become thinner, leading to redness and flaking. To nourish the skin, you need products with active ingredients such as vitamins, amino acids, lipids.

Stage 6: face masks

Face masks contain an increased concentration of ingredients to combat dryness, dehydration, inflammation and other problems. Using masks a couple of times a week can help reduce signs of fatigue and restore skin.

How to choose the right care products

Before buying cosmetics, try to determine your skin type. There are four main options - dry, oily, normal, combined - but there are other, mixed types.

What is the difference:

• people with dry type often experience a feeling of tightness on their face, their skin is flaky. That is why beauty products for her must contain nutrients such as oils and lipids;
• oily skin is easily recognizable by the abundant secretion of sebum, which makes it shine, the pores become dirty and inflamed. Products for oily skin should have a light texture so as not to clog the pores even more;
• people with normal skin do not have the chronic problems of other types. Depending on external factors (cold, heat), an oily sheen or dryness may appear on it, but with proper care, it quickly recovers. The funds are aimed at maintaining the normal state of the skin;
• the combined type combines the first two: the T-zone is prone to the appearance of an oily sheen, and the rest of the face is peeling. Products for this type of skin are aimed at combating both problems.

In addition, you need to pay attention to the current condition of the skin: are there signs of increased sensitivity, dehydration, age-related changes. These factors are not interrelated with the sebaceous glands, therefore they do not affect the type of skin, however, when choosing cosmetics, you also need to be guided by them.
