Long-term self-isolation has made adjustments to the usual way of life: Muscovites have been living without beauty salons for almost two months. Fortunately, the heating was turned off and the batteries stopped drying the air and skin, but without walks and the sun people still look not that fresh. We consulted and learned from the cosmetologist Victoria Klishko how to take care of your face at home.
What to do every day
In general, the quarantine time in terms of facial care is not very different from everyday life. Unless this is a reason to take a closer look at yourself and your body and do not forget to cleanse and tone your skin every day, as well as use a cream. And even if there is no reason to wear makeup – it’s not about makeup (by the way, it’s a great reason to go through a cosmetic detox and let your skin rest without makeup) and not in street dust. Thanks to the pandemic, everyone now knows how often we all unconsciously touch our face: at least all that remains of these touches must be removed. Care products are best selected with an emphasis on hydration. And if you are lucky enough to be in the sun often (oh lucky people in the country!), You should definitely use products with SPF.
What to do once a week
A well-known method of dealing with skin dullness is peeling. Helping the epidermis to get rid of dead skin scales increases the chances of a healthy complexion and even radiance. Light exfoliating agents (enzyme peels, exfoliating masks, non-aggressive surface scrubs) should be used no more than once, maximum twice a week. These can be products containing acids (AHA acids, malic, glycolic, lactic and the like) – they act mildly, but noticeably enhance the process of cell renewal. The skin will definitely look fresher, and the risk of age spots is also reduced.
Another great way to diversify your care is to mix the products that you have on your shelf. For example, you can add a light scrub to your face wash and exfoliate twice a week. By the way, instead of a scrub for body skin, you can use natural products that are always at hand in the kitchen: ground coffee, brown sugar or coarse salt. And of course, it is very important to observe the drinking regime. Skin specialist in islamabad says,After all, the condition of the skin largely depends on the water balance of the whole organism.
Procedures once a month
Chemical peels can be carried out once a month, but here you need to act very carefully, to approach the process consistently. You need to clearly understand the theory and have practical experience. If you have never done such a peel yourself, you should not start in quarantine. Home experiments in this area are a dangerous thing, it is difficult to predict the body’s reaction to acids, you can provoke allergies and even get a serious burn.
What is Intuitive Care
A new trend in the beauty industry is to use skin care products according to the wishes and individual needs. But with any, even the most subtle intuition, the skin needs to be cleansed and moisturized – this is a mandatory universal combo, the most important aspect for maintaining youth and beauty. According to your inner feelings, you can add masks and patches, here the field for experimentation is huge, and this is definitely safe.
What gadgets can replace a beautician
If desired and the availability of funds, a beauty salon can be organized at home. The cost of gadgets is quite tangible, but such an investment can be seen as an investment in one’s beauty and youth. There is no panacea, and the range of such devices is large: from modern quartz gadgets, gua sha massage plates and ending with microcurrent, RF or LED therapy. With regular use, it will be possible to improve the face contour and tone, reduce puffiness, remove fine wrinkles, and even out the tone. Add to this the indescribable feeling of being able to devote yourself a few personal, individual minutes with the closed doors of your room or bathroom. Time in complete solitude and for your own good is an excellent prevention of depression in quarantine. By combining care and beauty gadgets, you can arrange a full-fledged salon procedure at home.
How the authors of beauty telegram channels take care of themselves
The author of the Fifa channel, Natalya Pokrovskaya, admits that she uses the necessary minimum: Don’t Touch My Face make-up remover balm from Organic Shop, some Japanese moisturizing lotion, moisturizer or anti-aging cream – now it’s Weleda Skin Food. She also has a Foreo Luna massager: “Thanks to the soft silicone and sonic power, it allows you to achieve an effect that cannot be achieved by simply washing with your hands, they will never leave your skin so clean, firm, smooth and radiant.”
Get yourself a spa day at least once a week, when you can put off everything and apply an acid peel or finally get a mask. The author of the “We must take” channel in his beauty routine uses a splash mask of the Korean brand Blithe in the shower and once a week makes a night moisturizing mask with hemp oil The Body Shop.
And the insulation is just created for mastering facial gymnastics and face fitness. “If you master the techniques, see the results and get used to training your face, then in the future it will be easier to do this in your free time,” says Irene Shimshilashvili, author of the Vizazhidze Diary telegram channel .
