With the right approach, daily washing can become not only a hygienic, but also a healing procedure. To preserve the youthfulness of your skin, practice washing your face by combining water. Rinse your face several times with warm water and then with cold water. Hot water expands pores, while cold water shrinks them. However, it is not recommended to wash your face with water that is too cold or too hot. When exposed to low temperatures, the skin becomes dry and begins to flake. Hot water leads to persistent vasodilation and the skin becomes too sensitive to cold.
If you have dry skin, wash your face with fresh water at room temperature. It is recommended that you use a facial cleanser no more than once a week. The exception is special foams and gels with a therapeutic effect, designed specifically for dry skin.
For oily skin, you can use any cleanser 2 times a week: morning and evening. After washing, apply a nourishing cream to the skin and after 20-30 minutes remove the remains with a paper towel.
