But the efforts spent do not always bring worthwhile results. That's why website I have collected for you the most valuable and inexpensive life hacks that will allow you to achieve a beautiful complexion at home.

Cleanse, tone, moisturize

The secret to beautiful and healthy skin is proper care. Don't forget about a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition and choose products depending on your skin type. Cosmetologists also recommend regular facial scrubs and nourishing masks. But still, the most important rule to follow every day is cleansing, toning and moisturizing your facial skin in the morning and evening. Regular washing is not enough; after it, be sure to use a tonic and moisturizer.

Masking flaws

Use correctors to hide skin imperfections. A green corrector will help you “sketch” red spots and pimples - it is applied precisely to the site of inflammation. If you need to hide yellow or brown pigment spots or freckles, a blue and lilac corrector is suitable for you.

Hiding circles under the eyes

Concealer will help quickly eliminate dark circles under the eyes. A common mistake in application is a few dense strokes right under the eye, which are more likely to highlight imperfections. Apply concealer in a triangle shape and gently blend with your fingers.

Choosing and applying foundation correctly

Approach the choice of the shade of your foundation with all responsibility - the final result will largely depend on the foundation. To determine which color suits you, apply several products to your neck. The color of the skin on the face differs slightly from environmental influences, so this method is the most optimal.

The tone should be applied with light movements with your fingers or a special wide brush, moving from the center of the face and paying special attention to the borders near the hair and the folds of the nose.

Perform contouring

Contouring will help correct imperfections and highlight advantages. There are many products and textures for facial correction; Thus, liquid and cream textures take much longer and are rarely used in everyday makeup. Facial correction performed with dry products looks more natural, and they are easier to apply.

This figure shows the main steps of contouring step by step, but remember the basic rule: highlight the areas you want to emphasize and darken the areas you want to hide.

For oval face correction It is necessary to darken the chin and forehead near the hairline. In order, on the contrary, to make a narrow face wide, you need to apply blush on the apples of the cheekbones in the form of a circle without lengthening it to the temples.

Round face you need to visually stretch it out. To do this, you need to darken the side areas of the face (temples, cheekbones and jaw), placing emphasis under the cheekbones on the chin area. Using a highlighter, you need to highlight the forehead, the area under the eyes and the chin, thus drawing attention to the center of the face.

Where does beautiful, competent makeup begin?

The basis of beauty is well-groomed skin - a beautiful, even tone. If we talk about decorative cosmetics, then foundation is primarily responsible for skin tone. This is where we start our makeup.

At the foundation two main functions:

1.Protective. It mechanically protects the skin from dust and dirt - most of this settles on the cream. Plus in winter - from chapping and frostbite, in summer - from sunburn, even if it does not contain SPF. In addition to these undoubted protective properties, it contains Antioxidants that neutralize, at least partially, the effect of dirty air on our skin.

2. Aesthetic. Only 10% of women (as well as men) have an even, beautiful complexion. These are the lucky ones with normal skin type. Everyone else has redness, acne marks, pores, or a dull and patchy complexion on their face. There is nothing easier than hiding imperfections and evening out the color with foundation!

Why, despite all this, do our clients, and even consultants, often not like foundation?

“It’s visible,” “it emphasizes flaking,” “it gets clogged in the pores,” “my face is different from my neck.” All these objections come from the area of ​​incorrectly applied and color-matched foundation.

How to choose the right color?

The shades of our foundations are as follows:

Ivory 2,4,5 and Beige 1,3,4 - golden and beige shades;

Ivory 1,3,6 and Beige 2 are pink tones.

According to my observations, skin tones are divided approximately equally between golden (warm) skin tone and beige tone (which is dominated by olive-gray cool pigment). Natural pink skin tint is extremely rare (usually in people with normal skin type).

Therefore, most often we use golden and beige shades of foundation. Sometimes it’s hard to agree with this and your hands are drawn to pinkish tones! It seems that they are the ones that can refresh your skin tone! But. If the skin has redness, acne marks, etc., then the pink tint will not cover them up. Pink-violet colors on the skin are neutralized by the yellow pigment according to the laws of the color wheel. And your pink face will be different from the color of your neck.

When can we be afraid of yellowish creams? When you apply a tint to your skin and it turns yellow, it’s not very nice. But that doesn't mean you have to take pink! This means that you took too dark a shade of gold! Take a tone or two lighter and it will perfectly match your skin color!

Yes, sometimes some makeup artists use pinkish shades to refresh tired, grayish-toned skin. Most often due to age. Provided there is no redness. You can do this too, using, rather, Ivory 6. I prefer to take just a shade of foundation, close to natural, plus blush for freshness.

When choosing your foundation shade, do not forget that in summer the skin is darker (tanned), and in winter it is lighter. Accordingly, you need to change the shade of the cream at different times of the year.

I advise everyone to have at least two tones: one light - winter, the second darker - summer. And in the off-season, mix them in different proportions, depending on how “washed” you are or, on the contrary, tanned.

Check how well the shade of the foundation matches the skin color on the lower part of the cheek, next to the neck. Not only does this area have the least amount of redness that could throw you off, but it's also an easy area to see how the tone matches your neck color. It shouldn't be much different.

By the way, about the neck. It happens that its color differs from the complexion. In this case, we select the foundation to match the color of the neck. Most likely, the neck will be lighter than the face. And take the cream one tone lighter, then there you have it – no boundaries!

Choose carefully foundation formulas . It depends on your skin type and the season. In the summer, most people can use the tone for combination skin - it is light, does not shine and has an amazing lifting effect! It will well absorb both sebum and sweat on the face. In winter, almost everyone (except perhaps young people with their oily, shiny faces) is better off switching to a formula for dry and normal skin. Otherwise, your face may begin to peel. This is all because in winter everyone's skin is drier than in summer.

Before applying foundation, we apply a special Makeup base(or just “base”). It “smoothes” the surface of the skin, covering it with a thin layer. Removes peeling, smoothes out unevenness and edges of pores. When you apply it, you do the same thing as a plasterer before painting walls, or a painter before applying paint to canvas. It feels greasy to the touch, but in fact its formula is non-greasy: it contains glycerin, a natural skin moisturizer. This is how it feels to the touch.

Now it's time to apply Foundation.

There are three main ways:

1. Fingertips. Helps achieve the most dense application and maximum evenness of skin tone. I recommend applying it with patting rather than rubbing movements, first applying the cream to the back of your hand and warming it there with your fingertips. That. The cream “sits” better on the skin and lasts longer on it. It will cover the pores well and will not clog in them. If there is peeling, it will not lift the “flakes”, but will “nail” them (although, of course, you need to get rid of flaky skin with a scrub and sufficient moisturizing).

2. With a damp sponge. Let me clarify what it is wet sponge. This is a sponge soaked in water and wrung out well. Mixing with a minimal amount of water, the foundation lays down in a thinner layer. This is suitable for those who have a more or less even skin tone or for skin with age-related changes (so that the tone does not settle into wrinkles - but more about this in the chapter “Makeup for women of elegant age”). Well, or for those who would prefer a minimum of cream on their face.

The same consistency of tone can be achieved by mixing it on the back of your hand with your moisturizer. This method is suitable for winter when the skin is peeling. Then only in this way the tone can be applied without emphasizing the peeling.

Please note that there is no “dry sponge application” method. If you apply the tone with a dry sponge, the cream will first fill the sponge (as it was filled with water before) and you will then pour this cream into the sink when you wash the sponge. And on your face you will eventually be able to apply the cream in the same thick layer as you would apply with your fingertips.

3. With a special brush for tone. Makeup artists always use it. This allows you to thinly and evenly apply the cream to the skin, “penetrate” into hard-to-reach places on the client’s face: areas near the nose, lips, ears. And to “keep distance” with the client. If you have very long nails, a brush will be very convenient for you. Mary Kay offers a wonderful foundation brush. I recommend.

By the way, on the cheeks, when you apply foundation, it is better not to follow massage lines, but to apply the cream with downward movements, as if smoothing the vellus hair. Of course, you don’t have to pull the skin down with all your might, this way you can turn into a cute bulldog. If you apply the cream in upward movements, you can lift the vellus hair and your face will become cute and fluffy.

After you have applied the cream in any of the ways convenient for you, take a dry sponge or cotton pad and Using blotting movements, go over the entire face. The sponge will absorb excess foundation and additionally saturate the skin with cream, which means it will last longer. At the same time, you can shade areas where the cream likes to collect. This is the border with hair growth, the area of ​​vellus hair above the lip, eyebrows, and also on the cheeks.

We do not apply foundation to the entire surface of the face, excluding the area around the eyes. Why? Because we will apply another product specifically designed for this to the area around the eyes, starting to the next stage: facial refreshment .

We will do this with the help Brightening corrector . It is usually taken 1-2 shades lighter than the shade of the foundation. Suitable for most of us №2 - light beige.

№1 – for those who use Ivory 6 (if you use Ivory 1,2 and 3, i.e. very light tones, you can simply apply the tone under the eyes without using a concealer. But only a moisturizing formula! If you use a matte tone, then you will still need a Brightening Corrector).

№3 taken by those who use Beige 5 numbers or those who have very dark circles under their eyes (see chapter “ “).

And the first area of ​​application and at the same time lightening is the area around the eyes. Concealing dark circles under the eyes.

Dark circles form and intensify under our eyes because the skin in this place is very thin and blood vessels are visible through it. If the microcirculation of blood in these vessels is disrupted (a typical phenomenon that increases due to lack of sleep, computers, etc.), then the blood stagnates in them and this area darkens.

There is also a natural “shading” of dark color around the eyes. This is often typical for people with kidney problems. Here the lightening technique is not used and we mask the area under the eyes with the same shade of foundation as on the face or with Brightening Corrector No. 3. Otherwise, you will get blue circles instead of dark circles. The formula of the cream must be moisturizing. Under no circumstances should we apply a mattifying formula for combination skin under the eyes. Drying the skin under the eyes is strictly prohibited. Time will do this for us.

Let's get back to applying the brightening (or not) tone around the eyes.

Apply it with a brush or fingertip to the inner corner under the eye and to the outer corner (the darkest areas). Use your finger to blend the product using a patting motion, applying as little as possible to the area of ​​facial wrinkles. For obvious wrinkles, we do not apply tone to them, only to the inner and outer corners of the eye.

If there is swelling under the eyes, then a light tone cannot be applied to the swelling itself. Light has a volumizing effect, so the swelling will become larger. We apply it only along the edges of the swelling (see picture: the shaded area is the area where a light tone is applied).

We also produce refreshing the whole face :

• We highlight the area of ​​the nasolabial fold;
• Center of forehead and chin;
• The bridge of the nose;
• Outer corners of lips.

What causes the skin refreshing effect?

Eyes – the circles under them disappear and the outer line of the fall of the eyelid (lowered corner) is masked;

Nasolabial fold - becomes less noticeable due to the fact that the light “pushes forward”, making it less deep;

Corners of the lips – the angle of incidence is also masked;

We apply a corrector to the center of the chin to give it a slight plumpness and volume characteristic of youth. If your chin is too full without it, just don't apply highlighter there. (To understand what kind of chin you have, see the chapter “Ideal Facial Proportions”).

Bridge of the nose - to make the nose appear thinner. Avoid this technique if there is a curvature or hump.

At all, you can use this tool like a clay sculptor, modeling your face. It will help you add volume to the areas you want. For example, on the upper part of the cheekbones to make them higher. (Also rejuvenates). On the area under the eyes if you have a short central part of the face (often when the forehead is very high or the chin is large). We will also model the face using a shadow (to remove something), but this is already in the chapter “Face Correction”.

This procedure can be repeated in the middle of the day. Apply Brightening corrector these areas and your face will instantly take on a fresh look!

A light tone can also be applied to the upper eyelid, but if you use Eyeshadow base , then this is unnecessary - our foundation has a brightening effect.

The base is necessary to even out the color of the upper eyelid and create a thin layer, thanks to which the shadows will not accumulate, blend better and look brighter.

There are times when you hear that after applying the Foundation, the shadows begin to accumulate more. This happens when the Base is applied in too thick a layer. So that she gets ready herself. And as a result, shadows gather. It must be placed very thinly, then you will only get a positive effect.

Interesting fact: According to market research, do you know what the best-selling product among cosmetic companies is? No, not an eyeshadow base. Pomade. And the most unsellable thing is just the base for the shadows.

Women simply don’t know why it is necessary. At the same time, no self-respecting makeup artist will apply shadow to the “bare” eyelid. Definitely on a special basis. Professional makeup consists of such little things.

Now you can finish evening out your skin tone Powder .

I don’t know about you, but I often get asked the question: “If you use foundation, do you need to use face powder?”

The fact is that Powder and foundation are two different products with different functions. If we talked about the protective and masking function of foundation (it sets the “tone”), then Powder has other tasks. She improves the texture of the skin (visually). Makes it silky, velvety, matte. Of course, there is a slight masking effect, but it is short-lived. Besides, she sets foundation on her face, and it lasts even longer. Serves as a “layer” between oily and dry makeup textures. (If you are doing facial correction and also applying blush, keep in mind that all these products blend on powdered skin much better than on “raw” skin.)

By the way, in order to prolong the effect of the powder in principle, it is better to apply it again with a sponge, gently tapping it into the skin. A large, wide, beautiful brush creates a thinner layer. Apply the powder with a brush in smooth movements from top to bottom, starting from the top of the forehead.

What you need to know about primers, bb creams, highlighters,
concealers and shimmers.

The basic rule of any makeup is a good complexion. You can perfectly make up your eyes, lengthen and curl your eyelashes, emphasize your eyebrow line, but all your efforts will be in vain if your facial skin is uneven in color, with pimples or dark circles under the eyes.

And, on the contrary, if you have an ideal complexion, there are no signs of fatigue around the eyes, all skin irregularities are smoothed out - in this case, it will be enough to simply tint your eyelashes or apply gloss to your lips. At fashion shows, designers are increasingly asking makeup artists to create natural makeup in a “nude” style. Models walk down the catwalk, showing slightly glowing, satiny, even-toned skin and sculpturally accentuated cheekbones.

Special products help to achieve such an excellent result - primers, BB creams, highlighters... How to use these products and what they are needed for, said Alexandra Zakharova, art director of the Moscow club of makeup artists "Forum".

Primer is a product that is used before applying foundation. Its main purpose is to even out the texture of the skin and slightly moisturize it so that the foundation goes on evenly and there are no signs of peeling. Some foundations contain colored pigments (pink, yellow, green, lilac) that solve uneven skin color issues. For example, if your face has a clear reddish-pink tint, then you should use a green foundation - it will neutralize the pink undertone of the skin, and the face will look natural. The same thing happens with other colors: a pink base will hide olive skin tone, yellow will remove pallor and blueness, and lilac will slightly lighten and highlight the skin. Primers can also mattify the surface of the skin or actively moisturize it. For example, an actress Gwyneth Paltrow To achieve the effect of porcelain skin, she uses a makeup base from MAC Prep+Prime, which gives the face an even tone that glows from within.

BB cream (CC cream)

BB and CC creams have become a real sensation in the cosmetic market. They take care of our skin and at the same time make us look good, while saving a lot of time and money. What's the trick? These unique products are designed primarily to even out skin tone, with hydration and protection as additional benefits. BB creams have a lighter texture than regular foundation. They lie on the skin in a very thin layer and are almost invisible. CC cream is a new version of BB cream, only even lighter, and matting components have been added to it. These creams are perfect for combination and oily skin. Various cosmetics manufacturers supplement their versions of creams with other properties - for example, they include antioxidants or components that fight skin aging.

Highlighter

Highlighter helps to give the skin a glow by highlighting and highlighting certain areas of the face - the protruding area of ​​the cheekbones, the middle of the forehead and bridge of the nose, the edge of the upper lip, and emphasis on the moving eyelid. Highlighter is often used in conjunction with corrective dark powders or bronzers. The texture of the highlighter can be liquid, cream or powder. You can apply the product under foundation or mix it with tone. The result will be smooth skin with a luminous, light pearl effect. According to the famous Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman, she can easily leave the house without makeup, but never go to the red carpet without highlighter! For evening makeup, highlighter is used on top of foundation or mattifying powder, but for daytime use, we recommend applying this product under foundation to make the skin glow more natural and delicate.

The name of the product itself fully characterizes its purpose. Concealers mask small areas of facial skin that require more careful treatment. The textures of correctors can be light and liquid, as well as creamy and quite dense. If necessary, you can even create a complexion tone with light liquid correctors. Thick compact correctors not only remove color, but also smooth out the skin texture due to their matte finish, for example, they fight pimples and age spots. To ensure that the corrector is fixed on the skin, it is enough to lightly powder it. One of the actress's favorite correctors Lucy Liu is Clé De Peau Beaute Concealer - it has a stick shape, is extremely easy to apply and will always fit in any cosmetic bag. Well, the bestseller and favorite product of all makeup artists in the world is, of course, Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat.

Shimmer (eng. shimmer - shimmer) for the face is a product that gives the skin a light or active glow, evens out the tone and hides dullness. Unlike highlighter, shimmer contains components such as mother of pearl, minerals, mica, which can enhance their shine, and pigments of different tones that make the color multifaceted. Most often, shimmers have a powdery texture and are used as the last step in toning the skin of the face. They are best used for evening makeup. Shimmer with an elegant shine should be applied with a special brush with artificial bristles.

Many Hollywood celebrities - Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, Beyoncé, Rihanna- regularly use shimmering products to create their stellar makeup. The most famous shimmers in the world are Guerlain meteorites and the undisputed bestseller of the brand Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, which is loved by many makeup artists and celebrities, for example, Victoria Beckham.

Find out how to even out your facial skin at home.
Ideally smooth facial skin is extremely rare.

Enlarged pores, wrinkles, freckles - such problems are very difficult to hide even under a thick layer of foundation.

In order to even out the skin, you should first understand the cause of such problems and only then try to eliminate them.

How to even out facial skin - home methods

However, not everyone has the means for such procedures; in this case, you should turn to home methods. How to even out facial skin at home?

First of all, you need to avoid soap, as it dries the skin and can also cause an allergic reaction.

To obtain an even complexion, you need to use a decoction of parsley or water with the addition of a few drops of lemon juice to wash your face. These healing solutions can be frozen and wiped over the face with ice cubes. An additional bonus will be a facelift.

To even out skin color at home use:

• dairy products;
• cabbage, lemon and potato juices;
• parsley;
• green tea;
• tomato pulp.

These natural products are the basis for making homemade masks.

The most effective masks are:

• From cabbage leaves and kefir. To prepare it, you need to grind cabbage leaves in a blender and mix with the same amount of kefir. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the resulting mixture. This mask is applied to the face, excluding the area around the eyes, for 15-20 minutes.
• From parsley. Fresh parsley leaves are crushed in a blender and mixed with the same amount of sour cream or yogurt. For dry skin, add a few drops of olive oil to this mask. This mask must be left on for at least 20 minutes.
• From potatoes and tomatoes. These products are especially effective at brightening the skin around the eyes. To prepare such a mask, you need to grate the potatoes and mix with an equal amount of tomato pulp. The mixture should be wrapped in gauze and placed on the eye area for 10 minutes. This mask effectively eliminates dark circles under the eyes.

Regular use of masks made from natural products will ensure an even complexion and help significantly lighten freckles.

Causes of irregularities

Quite often, the problem of uneven skin is associated with enlarged pores. Such a defect can be inherited or occur due to a malfunction of the sebaceous glands.

As a rule, people with oily skin types experience this problem. The situation can be aggravated by excessive sweating, which causes the pores to expand and then become dirty. As a result, a person suffers from a new problem, namely acne.

Problems in the form of uneven skin also appear due to purulent pimples, which by their formation provoke the appearance of defects on the face. It should be noted that the surface of the skin suffers from both acne, that is, blackheads, and white pimples.

In addition, the porosity of the body increases significantly if a person engages in physical activity. Athletes often suffer from this problem. Due to training, the sebaceous glands function more actively, which is why the pores expand.

The lumpy surface of the skin also occurs due to the inflammatory process, but, as a rule, this phenomenon is temporary and most often passes without a trace. However, it is also important to know that there is a possibility that the skin may heal after inflammation.

This often happens when a person does not want to put up with pimples and starts squeezing them out, thinking that in this way he will be able to get rid of them, but this is not the case, and scars appear in their place, which are very difficult to eliminate.

Purulent acne, which can also make the skin uneven, can occur due to the frequent use of cosmetics, which not only can hide certain blemishes, but it also clogs the pores.

In addition, the choice of cosmetic products must be approached very seriously, since, for example, those that have an oily base quite often lead to an allergic reaction, which leads to a rash on the skin.

Causes of skin color changes

Complexion may change due to disruptions in the usual daily routine. This can also happen with poor nutrition.

Therefore, it is important to know that if the body feels uncomfortable, then this is all, first of all, reflected in the color of the skin.

In addition, quite often this occurs from severe overwork or constant stress.

This is how the condition may appear before the onset of the disease, and also the complexion changes if a person already has a particular disease.

The face, namely its color, can be negatively affected by changes in climatic conditions, constant stressful situations, allergies, as well as taking certain medications.

If your facial skin has acquired a yellowish tint, you should seek help from a specialist, since most likely the person has problems with the gallbladder or liver.

The best salon treatments

How to even out complexion? It takes a lot of effort to even out your skin color. To do this, you can use both home methods and salon methods.

Cosmetologists offer laser correction, which perfectly helps to cope with scars left after dermatological diseases.

This procedure does not cause pain, perhaps only a slight tingling sensation. In addition, the skin that has been subjected to this treatment recovers quickly.

You can also use oxygen therapy, which can fill the top layer of skin with a special gas through injection.

Thanks to this, tissues that have been damaged are regenerated, and old scars begin to dissolve. In addition, such injections also have a useful additional property, namely antiseptic, so they automatically eliminate pimples and blackheads.

Biorevitalization is also considered one of the equally effective salon procedures, which helps to overcome fine wrinkles. With the help of such an injection, wrinkles are smoothed out, the level of collagen is restored, due to which the epidermis acquires firmness and elasticity.

Getting rid of acne scars and other blemishes

In order to get rid of skin texture, you can use folk remedies.

For example, lemon or lime, namely the juice from these fruits, can come to the rescue.

Thanks to the acid they contain, acne marks begin to heal and scars disappear.

Lavender extract can also be used to combat scars. The elements that it contains are considered the best natural regenerative elements. To overcome the defect in this way, you need to soak a cotton pad in this extract and apply it to your face for 20 minutes. This procedure should be done 4 times throughout the day.

However, treatment with traditional methods, as a rule, is very long and does not always bring positive results, especially if the scars are old. Therefore, you should seek help from pharmacological drugs.

At the pharmacy, there is a wide selection of products that are aimed at eliminating unpleasant defects on the face. This could be Levomekol or Dalacin T, which are effective and safe.

Skin smoothing can be done in cosmetic centers. A variety of procedures can be offered here. Everything will depend on the nature of the problem. Various peelings, laser correction, as well as radical surgical methods are especially popular.

Smoothing the skin surface of the face after acne

Hyaluronic acid will give smoothness to the skin after acne. It will make the body more elastic and restore its uniformity.

With the help of an injection, this substance fills all the irregularities. You should not be afraid of injections, since this procedure is not only effective, but also safe, and also proven by many.

However, in order to completely restore the skin, you should complete the full course of treatment. At the same time, this procedure also has its disadvantages, since it does not have a long-lasting result.

A more complex cosmetic method is microdermabrasion, which perfectly smoothes the skin after acne.

This procedure can only be performed by an experienced specialist and is carried out through the mechanical elimination of minor facial defects. If the patient has increased sensitivity, then he will be offered local anesthesia.

Home remedies for this problem include vinegar, lemon juice, as well as tomato and cucumber juices. Any of the selected components should be used to wipe the surface of the skin that has been affected by acne. These folk remedies not only cleanse the face, but also smooth its surface.

The most effective oils for skin

Small irregularities can be easily leveled using home methods. The following oils have proven themselves to be effective:

• rosehip;
• cocoa;
• sesame.

• rosemary;
• cedar;
• grapefruit;
• lavender;
• sage;
• geraniums;
• yarrow;
• myrtle;
• bergamot.

Each of these oils has healing properties and helps tighten scars. The natural substances they contain enhance the skin's ability to restore and regenerate, stimulate collagen production and increase elasticity. Thanks to these properties, post-acne scars, enlarged pores and other irregularities are smoothed out and become less noticeable. But, like any natural remedy, essential and base oils require regular use for 2-4 weeks to get noticeable and lasting results.

To even out skin texture, make the following oil-based mask 2-3 times a week:

• 10 drops of base oil;
• 3 drops of essential oil.

Apply to clean skin in a circular motion, leave for 15 minutes, and then blot off excess with a dry paper towel; no need to rinse off the mask with water.

What preparations containing vitamins and microelements will help cope with this problem?

Serious problems that homemade masks cannot cope with should be treated with more effective drugs.

1. Clearwin (RealCosmetics, Russia). This affordable Ayurvedic cream is completely natural. It effectively removes scars and age spots, evens out complexion, improves blood circulation and promotes rapid regeneration. Clearvin should be applied pointwise to the damaged areas for 2-4 weeks, and if necessary, the course can be extended - the components are not addictive and can act effectively for a long period.

1. Kelofibrase (Sandoz, Germany). The ointment contains urea, which deeply moisturizes the skin, and heparin, which effectively smoothes out unevenness. The advantage of this product is its extremely high efficiency; it has no contraindications and does not cause allergic reactions.
2. Dermatix (MEDA Pharma, USA). This is one of the most effective and popular remedies that helps quickly get rid of unevenness on the face. Dermatix gel smoothes and softens irregularities on the facial skin, and also reduces pigmentation disorders.

Features of proper nutrition

Irregularities on the skin are most often caused by problems with the liver and kidneys: the body cannot cope with the elimination of toxins, as a result they accumulate and manifest themselves in the form of acne and acne. To get rid of the problem from the inside, you need to adjust your daily diet and relieve the excretory system. First of all, you need to give up foods such as chocolate, sausages and ham, smoked foods, marinades and sweets. Try to eat simple, homemade food prepared with a minimum amount of spices, fats and salt.

Include sea fish in your diet. If a limited family budget does not allow you to do this often enough, you can purchase fish oil at the pharmacy - it contains vitamins A and D, necessary for beautiful and smooth skin, as well as omega-3 fatty acids, which normalize metabolism and promote faster tissue regeneration and healing of inflammation.

Simple omega acids are found in flax seeds. They can be added to salads and cereals, and when ground, they can be added to hot soups. Eat dark green and orange vegetables more often, such as carrots, spinach, cucumbers, apricots, and broccoli. Also, don’t forget about vitamin E, which is often called the beauty vitamin, and for good reason: it helps moisturize the skin from the inside and quickly restore cells. Therefore, to even out your skin texture, include almonds, peanuts, and walnuts in your menu.

To stop the formation of new rashes, eat foods containing zinc: wheat bran and sprouted wheat grains, pumpkin seeds, lean beef, veal, poultry and rabbit meat, lentils and other legumes.

As with any other healthy diet, you need to eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and berries: they contain significant amounts of antioxidants that promote the regeneration of skin cells and restore its smoothness.

Hardware cosmetology at home

For daily care of problematic, bumpy skin, elimination of post-acne scars and reduction of pores, hardware cosmetology methods, available even at home, are successfully used. One of the most popular and effective procedures is dermabrasion, skin resurfacing using a special device. During the procedure, the top layer of skin is gently removed and as a result the relief is evened out, pores are significantly narrowed, scars and age spots become less noticeable, and after several sessions they completely disappear. In the recent past, dermabrasion was only available in salons, but modern high-tech devices for home use make the procedure simple and safe, so you can do it yourself.

A contraindication to the procedure is inflammatory processes on the surface of the skin, so if you have pockets of inflammation on your face, they must first be healed.

The home dermabrasion kit includes a cream with aluminum oxide crystals, a grinding device and special sponges. Also, some manufacturers include additional skin care products in the kit: lotions, tonics, vitamin cocktails, serums.

In order not to harm the skin, you should purchase devices only from trusted manufacturers. For example, the world-famous brands Roc, Lierac and L’Oréal have an impeccable reputation and produce high-quality equipment for home cosmetology.

The procedure for dermabrasion is extremely simple and does not require special training or special skills. First, you need to thoroughly clean the skin with an alcohol-free product and dry it completely with a towel. Then the cream is applied to the face using a sponge, after which the skin must be massaged with the device for 1-2 minutes. After finishing sanding, the cream should be washed off with cool water.

After a dermabrasion session, you should take special care of your skin for two to three days: apply sunscreen before going outside and use only mild detergents.
