We treat, not mask: 7 effective tips for the care of problem skin of the face and body

Problem skin is not a thriller or a bad dream, but the harsh reality of many girls

Acne and other skin problems are a signal of disturbances in the functioning of the whole body. This means that the treatment should be comprehensive!

Diet for acne

To combat problem skin, cosmetic products alone are not enough, even the most effective ones, because the appearance of our skin directly depends on the state of health of the internal organs: the stomach and liver.

Minimize the consumption of foods that exacerbate skin problems: fatty and smoked foods, yeast dough, beer, sugary alcoholic drinks and flavored soda. It is also advisable to learn how to drink hot drinks without sugar. Try! After a couple of weeks, you will get used to the taste of unsweetened coffee (or tea).

Your menu should include healthy products: fresh fruits and vegetables, freshly squeezed juices, nuts, fish and seafood, lean meats (rabbit, veal). Drink at least two liters of water a day to prevent dehydration of your skin.

Find and neutralize

Tired of feeling complexes due to skin problems? Before declaring war on acne, go to a beautician. Skin rashes can be provoked by various factors: unhealthy diet, dehydration, hormonal imbalance, subcutaneous mite damage to the face, and others. A competent specialist will determine the cause of the trouble and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

Help from nature

At least twice a week, pamper your face with homemade cosmetics prepared on the basis of natural ingredients.

• Anti-acne mask

Mix 1 tsp. bee honey with 1 tsp. alcohol tincture of calendula and dilute in a glass with warm boiled water. Using a cotton pad (or gauze), apply to previously cleansed skin. After half an hour, wash off with warm and then cool water.

• Herbal lotion for oily skin

1 tbsp. l. pour a glass of boiling water over chamomile and calendula flowers. Cover with a lid, leave for 30 minutes. Let cool, then drain. Add 1 tbsp. l. camphor alcohol (sold at the pharmacy). Store in the refrigerator for no more than three days.

SOS: I have a pimple

Pimples have a habit of popping out at the most inopportune moment. You can urgently relieve inflammation with the help of special drying gels and ointments. A dermatologist must prescribe the product that suits you.

Hygiene issue

We often neglect seemingly basic hygiene rules. It is not surprising that the result "pops up" on the face. Make it a habit to wash your face at least twice a day: morning and evening. But do not go to the other extreme: excessive enthusiasm for aggressive detergents degreases the skin, and in response it begins to produce more and more fat.

For daily use, choose pH neutral products based on plant extracts such as aloe, chamomile or calendula. Also, do not forget about an individual towel and regular bed linen changes.

In safe hands

Not all dermatological problems can be solved with diet and home procedures alone. In addition to the listed actions, complex care for problem skin should also include periodic visits to the beauty parlor.

Modern beauty salons offer their patients a whole range of treatment procedures (face massage, moisturizing and nourishing masks, deep skin cleansing), as well as more radical correction methods (chemical peeling, cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, laser skin cleansing, phototherapy, and others). At the end of the course of treatment, an experienced beautician will recommend the necessary remedies to prevent possible skin problems.

Investing in skin health

It is ridiculous to spend efforts and considerable funds on masking skin imperfections with the help of decorative cosmetics. It is much more effective to invest this money in treating skin problems, for example, with the help of healing treatments.

Among other things, many cosmetic brands have in their assortment a series of medical cosmetics for the care of oily and problem skin: cleansing lotions, belongings, moisturizing tonics. Ask your beautician to find the right product.
