So here they are – the best helpful skin care tips from experts…

Eat healthier.

Chocolate and other candy, French fries, fast food, pizza and soft drinks can be the reason of pimples or breakouts. By avoiding such foods that often make your face breakout, your skin will be less oily and more resistant to flaws. But of course you shouldn’t flatly eliminate it but eat those things in moderation. To my mind, this is the most considerable skin care tip, which should be followed strictly.

Hydrate and exercise.

Drinking the recommended two liters of water per day combined with some regular exercise – walking, running, bicycling has a great impact on one’s complexion. Following this skin care tip replace dull skin with a glowing look.

And also it will be useful to make you feel more energized and great. You will feel less stressed and more capable of achieving everything which was intended.

Control sun exposure.

Too much sun is not only useful, but even dangerously harmful. It can blister your lips, leaving them red, inflamed. And sunburned skin will eventually peel, leaving skin areas pimpled and very sensitive. You should try preventing sunburn and The best approach to it is to control how much time you spend in the sun and to avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen with SPF 15 or even greater.

Keep practicing a cleansing “rite”.

Purifying, exfoliating, toning up and moisturizing is what you need on your way toward healthier skin. Choose a gentle appropriate skin cleansing solution that works for your type of skin – dry, oily, normal, or combined and cleanse face in a circular motion and rinse with warmish water.

Follow the cleansing stage with an exfoliant. A granular product is often especially effective in smoothing rough areas and releasing dead skin cells, allowing the face to be better moisturized.

After the exfoliation process, use a toner to remove any makeup or cleanser residue. Also for your skin to be silky and soft you’d better do a facial mask, at least once a week.

Finally, dap skin with a soft towel but do not wipe dry. Apply a moisturizer (with or without sunscreen). But if you have oily skin you do not have to moisturize it as often as for example those who have dry, normal or combined skin.

By following every skin care tip, aforesaid you should soon notice positive results, by disciplining yourself, achieving healthier skin will be much easier.

Early winter is quite a complicated time for an organism. Some of you have already had an illness and flu. All the taken drugs have effected the face skin well hopefully.

And the end of the year is a real hassle. But one who gets angered often – advances in age quickly, proved by the scientists. Nervous disorders influence the skin condition immediately. But what can you do to become irresistible up to the holidays (at least for the New Year party)?

The course of special procedures can help you to relax: warm bath with coniferous extract, lavender, and sea salt. The water shouldn’t be very hot, the time of the bath is 10-15 minutes 3 times per week.

If baths are contra-indicated to you, then you can take soothing herbal teas: valerian, mint, sweet-Mary and peony, or polysaturated acids. Polyvitamins with tocopherol (vitamin E) are great as well. Pure water with lemon goes well too.

Light peeling will bring freshness and radiance to your skin. Simple face masks can be done at home easily.

Oats scrub: for dry and normal skin.

Grind 1 tea spoon rolled oats, add 2 tbsp olive oil and apply the mask onto the skin. Rinse off with warm water.

Coffee scrub: for dry skin.

Mix up 1 tea spoon ground coffee with low-fat cream. Massage the face skin with the gruel. Then rinse off with warm water.

Do some masks after scrubbing and put on the cream matching your skin type.

Make a a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year present to your nails as well.

Prepare a bath of warmed up olive oil and 3-5 drops of iodine for them. Put the nails down in there for 15 min, then wipe them dry and stay away from water for a couple of hours. Take the procedure twice a week.

One more effective procedure for the nails:

Cut a lemon into two halves and stuck your nails into them for 10 minutes. Practice this nail mask in a day for two weeks.

Use concealer to shade away under-eyes-circles. If there is none, then use a foundation. If the blue shadows under your eyes are too evident, take the concealer with the thick texture. But if the under-eyes-“bruises” are scarcely seen or you are mimic, with some wrinkles, then the creamy texture should be much lighter. Don’t rub the concealer around the eyes, but barely touch it with your finger-pads.

In order not to attract extra attention to the dark circles under your eyes, steer clear of the bright mascara or avoid any. But if you need to mascara the eye lashes, use the brown one.

Apply a very light or light-reflecting powder onto the inner eye corners in the direction to the brows.

If you shade the dark powder under the cheekbones carefully, it will make the same visual effect as liposuction. Also put a bit of it on to the temple and chin. Light powder will be just right to evade the mask effect. The color should be smooth all around including ears, neck and face all together.

SPA at home

Find a couple of hours a week to do with your beauty in real earnest. Let’s start with the easiest procedure.

Winter face clearness. Take the cosmetic clay and knead it till you get a sour cream consistency. Then apply the clay on to the face and leave it there for 30-40 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and then immediately with cold one. The deepest cleaning provides the black clay, that is wholesome for the body care and fights with cellulite.

Winter face peeling. Mix up 1 tbsp oat meal with 1 tea spoon brown rice meal and 2-3 drops of lavender oil. Add a bit of warm water and 1 tea spoon honey. Massage delicately the face and neck skin using this mixture. Then rinse it off with warm water.

Face bath. This is a wonderful procedure for the normalization of the acid-base balance and skin detoxification. However, you’d better omit it, if you have a very sensitive skin or acne rosacea. Put the herbs and oils that fit exactly your skin type into the boiling water (in the pot or anything).

For example, chamomile goes well for the sensitive and dry skin types; peppermint and rosemary – for normal and combination ones as well as acne-affected skin. Lavender is the perfect herbal measure for all skin types.

Bend your head above the pot about 3-4 inches high and cover your head with the towel letting the towel hang over the pot sides either. Stay that way for 5 minutes and then put a moisturizer onto the face.

Winter face massage. Practice it with the help of a moisturizer or special therapeutic oil. Choose the moistening product that doesn’t contain petroleum, mineral oils and propylene glycol. Do the slight massaging moves over the face and neck bottom-up (from neck to forehead and temples).

If you care about the face this way every day, it will never make you feel uncomfortable and put off the aging.

Ice cubes are also one of the great anti aging measures. Don’t forget about the whole body that needs additional care in winter time.
