During the long winter, the skin loses moisture, often starts to peel and looks unhealthy.As a result, wrinkles appear.To help your skin regain its glow and radiance, start an at-home rejuvenation program today!
In a beauty salon, you can refresh your face and fix the skin of your whole body, but this requires a lot of free time and a lot of money, because a procedure cannot do it.Usually, the salon offers a long course of 10-15 procedures for 1.5-2 hours every day or every other day.We offer you a home rejuvenation program.The advantage is that it does not require a large investment of money and time.But first, check if your body is ready for renewal.
- If you sleep less than 7-8 hours a day, you should rethink your daily routine.Fresh and glowing skin will only look good if you rest properly every day.
- We should eat more vegetables and fruits, nuts, seeds, dairy products - they are rich in vitamins, beneficial microelements and essential antioxidants, which not only enhance the protective functions of our skin, but also the whole body.After all, the body needs these microelements in large quantities in the spring to make up for the deficit created during the winter.
- In order for the skin to respond quickly to cosmetic procedures, it must be sufficiently hydrated from the inside, which means that daily fluid intake must be consumed (on average 2-2.5 liters per day).
Everything else is a matter of technique.Spend only 25-30 minutes on the care every day and the wonderful result is guaranteed!
Rejuvenating scrubs - skin cleansing
The skin of the body should be cleaned regularly, and the skin of the face daily.Be sure to wash your face with cold water in the morning.In the evening, take the time to remove the makeup from your face and take a shower.Vegetable oils have an excellent cleaning effect.Scrubs are used for deeper cleaning.
But don't forget that no matter how we clean the skin from the outside, it won't make it bright and beautiful if you have health problems that should be solved before the cleaning program.Gentle daily cleanser: Take a cotton pad and soak it in hot water, apply vegetable oil, then remove the makeup with circular movements.If the cotton pad becomes dirty, replace it with the next one.And so on until the face is clean.You can use grapeseed olive and almond oil.

Rejuvenating masks for face and body
This is a must-have item in your home skin rejuvenation program.Masks that come into contact with the skin for 10-20 minutes help to saturate the epidermis with nutrients and vitamins.They penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, thereby nourishing it from the inside.Therefore, the effect of the masks is most noticeable, especially if you do them 1-2 times a week.However, without proper cleansing, masks are ineffective and sometimes harmful, as they can cause irritation and allergic reactions when applied to "dirty" skin.
- The fat metabolism restoring mask:mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil with 1 yolk and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (you can add 1 teaspoon of honey instead of lemon juice).Apply this mixture to the skin of the face and neck with massaging movements.After 15-20 minutes, rinse off the residue with warm water.

Hand masks are also useful:

Rejuvenating baths help speed up all metabolic processes in the body, including blood circulation.This makes the skin look smooth and supple.

If you want to achieve a quick and long-term rejuvenating effect at home, you must give up:
- skin whitening or freckle removal;
- bad habits, especially smoking;
- tanning: even the first spring sun can cause burns on "tired" skin after the winter.Therefore, if you go outside on a sunny day, be sure to use sunscreen.
