Today, read our skin
care recommendations
that are designed to
guide you through a wide
sea of various beauty
tips and products
towards finding what you
really need in order to
keep your skin smooth,
young, and gorgeous.
1. Normal skin: Although
being the least
problematic type, still
requires cleaning,
nourishing, and
moisturizing. In the
morning, refresh your
skin with rose water or
an alcohol-free
astringent tonic and
moisturize it with a
mild, non-greasy cream,
preferably made from
natural ingredients
without petroleum
by-products. Use a good
quality make-up, but do
not overindulge. Before
bed, gently wash your
face with a mild soap,
such as goat milk soap,
and put on a bit of an
oil-based nourishing
cream, paying particular
attention to the areas
around your eyes. After
about 15 minutes, gently
pat your skin dry with a
napkin. Once a week, use
an egg yolk mask, or any
other natural and
non-drying mask to feed
and rejuvenate your face
skin. Do not forget to
take care about your
body, as well. Every day
after showering, use a
mild moisturizing lotion
to keep your body skin
supple and healthy.
2. Dry skin :
Requires a more thorough
care, since it is prone
to flaking, irritating,
and fast aging. If your
skin is dry, you should
use only natural and
rich skin-care products,
such as undiluted shea
butter, extra-virgin
coconut oil, or
home-made herbal oils.
Apply them twice a day
and allow some time for
your skin to absorb
nourishing and
moisturizing ingredients
from the oil before
putting a hypoallergenic
make-up on. Try not to
use tap water but,
instead, clean your
facial skin with mild
cleansing milks or
herbal infusions. With
good care, dry skin will
always look healthy and
smooth.
3. Oily skin :Requires the
opposite approach -
instead of putting an
emphasis on nourishing,
you should focus on
removing excess oil from
it, hydrating, cleaning
enlarged pores, and
preventing or treating
acne. Wash your skin
about 2-3 times a day,
but use a mild soap only
once a day, because
otherwise oil glands
will be stimulated to
produce even more sebum.
Use only non-greasy
moisturisers and tone
your face often with
alcohol-free herbal
tonics or ice cubes,
which will restore the
health and balance of
your skin. The best
masks for oily skin are
those featuring drying
and hydrating
ingredients, for
example, clay, papaya,
or yogurt. Apply once a
week and make sure to
rinse your face
thoroughly with cool
water after about 20
minutes. In case of
acne, remove sugar and
other carbohydrates from
your diet and make sure
not to eat any processed
foods.
4. Combination skin
:
may be complicated to
manage, because it has
both oily and dry areas
each requiring different
care. The trick is to
use oily skin tips for
the facial areas of oily
skin (usually, on the
forehead and nose) and
to apply dry skin tips
to the areas of dry skin
(around the eyes and on
the cheeks).
5. Sensitive skin :
is
always very dry and
irritated - this is why
you should take a very
thorough care of it
using the above tips for
dry skin. Additional
hints: watch what you
eat and make sure to
consume a fair amount of
essential fatty acids,
organic protein, yogurt,
and lacto-fermented
fruits and vegetables.
Remember that women who
eat a vegetarian, or
even worse so, a vegan,
diet, usually develop
very dry, wrinkled, and
irritated skin.
