Tips for Beautiful Skin 11-20

Tired skin gets back on track with vitamin C. Contained in creams, it stimulates the formation of the skin‘s own collagen fibers and also stimulates cell metabolism.

12. tea tree oil against impurities.

Tea tree oil (from Australia) in about five percent solution has a strong disinfecting effect and thus fights pimples. After two to three days at the latest, the improvement should become visible.

13. be careful with extreme diets

Extreme fluctuations in body weight also affect the elastic fibers of the skin. Massages, sports and body care can prevent this. However, weight fluctuations of up to two kilos are harmless.

14. moisture for oily skin

With oily skin, there is an overproduction of sebum. When caring for the skin, it is therefore essential to ensure that the skin is supplied with a lot of moisture, but no fat. Well suited are light hydrogels or an oil-free fluid specifically for oily skin.

15. facial massage for better blood circulation.

Excellent results can be achieved with just four strokes applied for 20 seconds each. A nourishing cream is very suitable to combine the application of cream with a soothing massage.

  1. Using both palms, stroke broadly from the nose over the cheeks towards the ears.
  2. The forehead with the index, middle and ring finger fan-shaped stroking from the root of the nose to the hairline.
  3. With both middle and ring fingers draw semicircles around the mouth area.
  4. In one stroke, stroke over the bridge of the nose and eyebrows.

16. moisturizer on damp skin.

Moist skin is swollen and more absorbent than dry. So it is recommended to apply moisturizers in this condition in upward and circular motions.

17. moisture for dry skin

Moisturizers such as ceramides, hyaluronic acid or synthetically produced urea channel water into dry skin and create moisture depots. Since very dry skin is not able to do this by itself, the use of so-called moisturizers is recommended.

18. avoid red veins

If you do not want to further stress sensitive skin prone to couperose (dilated red veins), you should avoid strong temperature drops. Danger zones here are sauna, solarium and air-conditioned rooms. The consumption of nicotine, alcohol and spicy foods should also be limited.

19. steam makes the skin receptive

Heat and rising steam open the pores, make the skin more receptive and allow the active ingredients to penetrate better. Thus, it is recommended to couple the face mask with a full bath. According to the same principle, the skin can also be prepared for care with warm compresses. Simply place a terry cloth towel in hot water, wring it out well and place it on the skin. Repeat the process several times.

Tip: Before applying the mask, make a peeling, which optimizes the absorption of active ingredients.

20. pamper neck area with oil wraps.

From the age of 35, something should be done regularly for the often neglected neck area, because the skin there particularly quickly slackens and becomes wrinkled. Oil compresses have proven to be effective: Mix three teaspoons of warmed oil (for example, almond, avocado, sunflower, wheat germ, olive or burdock root oil) with the same amount of liquid honey and apply to the area between the chin and collarbone with a mask brush.

After applying the mask, cover the area with a damp cotton cloth and wrap it with a soft terry cloth. Remove again after half an hour.
