Wash regularly to rejuvenate skin

Rinse your face several times with warm water and then with cold water. Hot water widens pores, while cold water narrows. However, it is not recommended to wash your face with very cold or very hot water. When exposed to low temperatures, the skin dries and begins to peel. Hot water causes persistent vasodilation and the skin is very sensitive to cold.
If you have dry skin, wash your face with mild water at room temperature. It is recommended not to use facial cleanser more than once a week. The exception is special foams and gels, which are specially formulated for dry skin and have a therapeutic effect.
For oily skin you can use any cleanser 2 times a week: morning and evening. After washing, apply a nourishing cream to the skin and after 20-30 minutes remove the residue with a paper towel.
For normal skin, alternate washing with warm and cool clean water is enough. But normal skin also requires a little care. It is very useful to wash with water with a mixture of herbs. Wash your face once a week with a decoction or wipe with a stick dipped in warm water.
