Effective masks for freshness at home

Healthy and smooth skin requires constant care. Daily moisturizers, face masks, a variety of serums and emulsions to rejuvenate and cleanse toxins - all this is necessary for the proper regeneration of cells in the epidermis. But with such a variety of products, professional cosmetologists recognize the mask as a more effective method for deep impact on the upper layer of the skin.

Vitamins and nutrients are absorbed during the first 15 minutes, which is why experts and cosmetics manufacturers recommend keeping the product on your face no longer than the time indicated in the instructions, on average 15-20 minutes. It turns out that the cream is an ineffective product? Not at all. The main function of the cream for daily care is to moisturize and nourish the skin, and masks are designed to stimulate cell regeneration and prevent the early appearance of wrinkles.

Masks, unlike creams for daily care, have a wow-effect due to the concentration of active ingredients in a large volume. Beauticians recommend even natural and gentle compositions to use no more than 2-3 times a week, so as not to cause addiction.

In winter, and especially with the advent of spring, before the approaching women's holiday, absolutely all girls strive to look great and begin to intensively look after their faces. In order for you to be able to choose the perfect mask and quickly refresh your face, you need to decide on your skin features.

The skin is divided into three basic types: normal, dry and oily. Separately, dermatologists distinguish fading, combined and sensitive.
