But don't forget that no matter how we clean the skin from the outside, it won't be glowing and beautiful if you have health problems that are advisable to solve before the cleansing program.Gentle daily cleanser: Take a cotton pad and soak it in hot water, apply vegetable oil to it and remove the make-up in a circular motion.When the cotton pad gets dirty, replace it with the next one.And so on until your face is clean.You can use grapeseed olive and almond oils.

Rejuvenating masks for face and body
This is an essential part of an at-home skin rejuvenation program.Masks, in contact with the skin for 10-20 minutes, help saturate the epidermis with nutrients and vitamins.They penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and thus nourish it from the inside.Therefore, the effect of masks is most noticeable, especially if you do them 1-2 times a week.But without proper cleansing, masks are ineffective and sometimes harmful, as applied to "dirty" skin can cause irritation and allergic reactions.
