Differences in care depending on the time of year

It is very important to adjust the contents of your cosmetic bag and carefully look through the rows of jars on your dressing table in the off-season. As weather conditions change outside, care products must also change.

Summer

The danger lies in hot sunlight and dry air. The priority is creams with SPF filters and maximum hydration.

Autumn

Mild melancholy and seasonal colds can significantly undermine the body's level of resistance. This means more vitamins to support immunity and vitamin masks for a radiant appearance.

Winter

Temperature changes and piercing winds are not the best conditions for the skin. Requires maximum protection and nutrition. The selection of products should only take into account the skin type.

Spring

Nature is blooming, but there is a total lack of vitamins in the body. It is recommended to replenish the deficiency in a comprehensive manner, by adjusting nutrition and increasing the intensity of care procedures. An excellent period for strengthening and cleansing.

How to properly apply a face mask at home

Before applying any mask, you should cleanse your face of decorative cosmetics with a gentle makeup remover. A refreshing gel usually completes the makeup removal procedure, but you can use additional peeling.

Preliminary exfoliation of dead cells is desirable for good penetration of all the substances that make up the mask into the facial skin, this will ensure its greatest effectiveness. The scrub can also be used at home, for example, using any coffee scrub recipe.

When applying masks, follow the general rules for homemade cosmetic compositions:

The procedure for applying a mask cannot be done “on the run.” Put aside all household chores and spend half an hour just for yourself.
Any effective homemade face masks must be prepared (mix ingredients) immediately before use. The remaining mass cannot be stored.
All components of the mask must be of good quality, and ingredients such as sour cream, fruit, kefir, etc. must be fresh.
Before applying the mask, your face must be cleansed as usual. Those with oily and combination skin will probably also need a preliminary exfoliating peel. After cleansing the skin, open its pores as much as possible; you can steam them over a bath or make a warm, damp compress. This will allow all the ingredients to be absorbed as much as possible and have the best effect.
To keep your hair out of the way of your face, gather it in a bun and secure it with something.
Depending on the consistency, the mask should be applied with clean hands, a brush, a gauze pad or a cotton pad.
Most masks should be applied not only to the face, but also to the neck and décolleté area. An exception would be drying masks for oily facial skin, because in the décolleté area the skin is much drier.
Apply the homemade mask along the massage lines, performing movements from the middle of the face to the temples. The exception is the skin directly around the eyes; there is no need to apply a mask to it.
Rinse off the mask with clean water. It is better not to take it from the tap, but to prepare in advance a jug of boiled water, cooled to body temperature.
After washing off the mask, do not wipe your face; gently blot away excess moisture with a clean towel. Apply a cream appropriate to your skin type to a damp face.
Don't expect an immediate effect from the first procedure. Homemade face masks must be repeated regularly 1-3 times a week. The course duration must be at least 3 weeks.

Consequences of frequent use

If you often use cosmetics with intense effects (anti-aging, with a lifting effect, regulating oil content), then natural metabolic processes are disrupted, the intensity of collagen and elastin production decreases, and the elasticity of the skin deteriorates. This can lead to premature aging. You should not overuse cleansing procedures, since such masks often contain aggressive components that lead to irritation and inflammation of the epidermis.

Moisturizing and nourishing masks can be used as a daily procedure. At the same time, you should reduce the use of creams and gels with similar functions, which can lead to acne and an allergic reaction.

Facial products that regulate sebum production can disrupt the skin's protective response. Too frequent use of such cosmetics leads to the appearance of comedones and acne.

Anti-aging homemade face masks

Over time, the skin begins to age - this is an inevitable process.
