Hello!
Today I want to tell you about my feelings after using several facial products from Mirra.
A little about myself: I am 30 years old, combination skin, prone to oiliness. Sometimes inflammation occurs. At the same time, slight dehydration and the first age-related changes are observed. The skin around the eyes is thin and dry.
Let's start with cleansing.
Purifying anti-acne mousse.
The product is packaged in an opaque plastic bottle with a foaming pump. Volume 150 ml. The dispenser works properly, you can vary the portion of the product.
Composition:
Water, yarrow and chamomile extracts, glycerin, triethyl sulfocarboxylic acid sodium salt, glyceryl cocoate, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamylglutamate and sodium cocoamphoacetate, salts of ethoxylated carboxylic acids, lactic acid, zinc lactate, cremophor, sea salt, phenonip, perfume composition.
The texture of the mousse is very gentle, soft. Medium resiliency foam. For one wash, I need 2 full pump pumps.
There is a slight fragrance.
Subjectively, I like washing with foams much more than with gels. Cleansing with this product is very delicate, the skin does not creak after use. Mousse does not dry out the skin, there is no feeling of tightness. I did not notice its effect on inflammation. When they appear, I use special heavy artillery. However, if there are small wounds on the face, the mousse does not sting or irritate the skin.
Mousse use it 1-2 times a day - every day in the morning and sometimes in the evening, as the final stage of make-up removal. For 2 weeks of use, I did not find any negative points. A good non-aggressive tool for every day.
Grade 5.
Price 491 rubles.
Toning lotion with stevia extract and antioxidants for normal skin.
The product is sold in an opaque plastic bottle with a volume of 125 ml. Under the cap, typical of all products from this line, hides a more secure cap that prevents the lotion from leaking.
Liquid lotion, cheerful orange color. There is an unobtrusive fragrance.
Composition:
Water, green tea extract, stevia and hibiscus rose, aloe juice, emulgin, glucose, glutamic, succinic, malic and lactic acids, ascorbyl glycoside, β-carotene, vitamin E, RonaCare AP, polyquaternium 10, sodium benzoate, perfume composition.
The lotion is quite economical. The beautician taught me to do without cotton pads, so for the whole face I need portions, as in the photo. The product is quickly absorbed, does not stick and does not leave a film. Perfectly tones and moisturizes the skin. If you skip this stage in the care, then the lack of moisture is definitely felt. I think owners of skin prone to dryness will also like this lotion.
The lotion is very gentle, does not irritate the skin, the products applied afterward are distributed and absorbed much better.
Grade 5.
Price 491 rubles.
Moisturizing balm with hyaluronic acid for any skin.
The product is sold in a plastic bottle with a piston that rises as you use it. Volume 50 ml. The dispenser works properly, you can vary the portion.
The texture of the balm is dense, but it is distributed and absorbed easily and quickly, like a fluid. Does not leave a film on the face, the skin does not shine with it. There is a slight floral scent.
Composition:
Emulsion complex*, water, grapeseed oil, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, urea, vitamin E, clover and alfalfa extracts, diquertin, epophen, perfume composition, phenonip XB, emulgin.
* emulsion complex on a natural basis: soybean and coconut oils, glycerin, monoglycerides, stearic acid salt, stearate, fatty alcohols, emulsion wax, beeswax, sodium erythorbate.
The balm is very moisturizing, I would even say nourishing. This is exactly what I was looking for in the winter, when the skin is under a lot of stress and dries up. In general, I got hooked on products with hyaluronic acid. They work great for me.
Now we are already warm, and for the day the balm is not very suitable for me, at this time I switch to gels and matting fluids. But, as an evening care, the product works perfectly. I use it after my toner and serum. In the morning, the skin is smoother, softer and hydrated. I did not notice any negative points - the pores are not clogged, there are no subcutaneous and inflammation.
Consumption is very economical - a portion, the size of a small pea, is needed for the face and neck.
Grade 5.
Price 825 rubles.
Nourishing eye cream with a lifting effect.
The cream is sold in a package similar to a balm - a bottle with a piston and a dispenser. Volume 30 ml.
Composition:
Emulsion complex on a natural basis (grape and coconut oils, glycerin, monoglycerides, fatty alcohols, stearic acid, stearate, emulsion wax, beeswax, ascorbyl palmitate, tocopherol), water, apricot and jojoba oils, essential oils of lavender, myrrh, rosemary, ylang-ylang and mint, vitamins F and E, extracts of licorice, lemon balm leaves, raspberries and linden flowers, shikonin, epofen, emulgin, phenonip XB, sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride, perfume composition.
The texture of the cream is dense, but spreads and absorbs very easily. Does not leave a sticky or greasy feeling after application. There is a slight floral scent.
Of the entire selection of products in this post, the eye cream turned out to be the best for me. The thing is, for a long time I could not find the right care for me. Creams for my age are very light, give minimal hydration. And products for more mature skin, on the contrary, overload. Therefore, in the Mirra cream, I really liked the balance that I had been looking for for a long time. The tool perfectly nourishes the skin under the eyes, but there is no feeling of heaviness. And I feel this effect for a long period of time. For example, with a lighter cream, I often felt tightness of the skin under my eyes at the end of the day. The concealer began to emphasize wrinkles, to fall into them. Now there are no problems. I also like the slight highlighting and diffusing effect that this cream gives. It was not particularly possible to catch it on camera, but in life, after application, it is clear that the look becomes fresher.
I use this cream in the evening, in a denser layer. The skin does not irritate, does not cause swelling. The consumption is very economical, I think 30 ml will last me a very, very long time.
Thanks for attention!
Darya
The daily facial care ritual consists of several mandatory procedures: make-up removal, cleansing, toning, nutrition and moisturizing. In addition, periodically it is necessary to add procedures to renew the skin so that it looks radiant and healthy. An exfoliating face mask at home helps to get rid of the keratinized top layer, accumulations of sebum and dirt. In addition, natural ingredients do not cause damage, unlike aggressive chemicals.
It is IMPORTANT to consider that the frequency of use of such masks depends on the type of skin. Fat type should be exfoliated 1 time in 7 - 10 days, combined - 1 time in 2 weeks, dry - no more than 1 time per month.
Why you need to exfoliate your skin
In a general sense, an exfoliating face mask at home is needed in order to exfoliate the top layer of the dermis from accumulated impurities. In addition, the use of a mask allows you to solve a number of other problems:

- Increased skin sensitivity;
- Allergy to components;
- Open wounds and irritation on the face;

The best recipes for exfoliating masks
The simplest and most suitable mask for everyone consists of only two ingredients. Soda is poured with water to the state of a liquid slurry. Then the skin is massaged with this composition. After the procedure, the mask should be washed off with water and a light moisturizer or serum should be applied to the face. The effect of baking soda on the skin gives a long-term feeling of cleanliness. This mask is ideal for teenage skin.
An exfoliating mask for dry skin at home should be as gentle as possible to avoid irritation and even more drying. It is recommended to add components that nourish the cells. The softest abrasive is ground oatmeal. It must be mixed in equal proportions with milk and sour cream. These ingredients gently nourish the skin. The mask is applied for 10-15 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, it is recommended to rub the face in a circular motion. Touch should be light.
You will learn about cleaning the skin at home from the video:
For oily skin, a homemade exfoliating face mask based on coarse abrasive elements, such as berry pits, egg shells or walnuts, is suitable. Clay-based masks show a good result, because it has the ability to regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands. Walnut shells need to be crushed into dust. Pour clay (white or blue) with warm water in equal proportions. Then all the components are combined together to a slurry state. As a moisturizer and tonic, add 1 tablespoon of fresh cucumber puree to the mask. The mask is applied for 15-20 minutes. Clay perfectly draws out dirt and tightens pores. Ground shells remove large dirt and dead cells well. Cucumber moisturizes the skin.
How to make an exfoliating face mask with normal and combination type? Since these 2 types are not problematic, any components can be taken as a scrubbing base. You should focus on your own feelings from the use of softer or harder particles. For example, you can take fine salt, ground coffee and heavy cream in a ratio of 1:1:3. The exposure time is 7-10 minutes. Cream makes the skin soft. Coffee and salt improve complexion.
A strawberry-based mask has a good whitening effect. From 2 - 3 large berries you need to make a puree and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to it. Strawberry bones in this composition act as a scrub. If such rigidity is not enough, 1 teaspoon of fine salt is added to the mask. The mask is applied for 10 minutes.
An acid-based exfoliating mask accelerates skin renewal processes. To prepare, you need to squeeze 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Then add 2 teaspoons of melted honey and aloe juice. The mask is applied for 10-15 minutes. Acid carefully removes the top layer.
Aspirin-based masks have a beneficial effect. In addition to cleansing, the mask gives a good rejuvenating effect. Wrinkles are smoothed out, skin texture and color are improved. In addition, aspirin promotes the production of natural collagen. To prepare the mask, you need salt, freshly squeezed orange juice and cream in equal proportions. Add 3 finely ground tablets. Apply to the skin with massaging movements and leave for 7-10 minutes.
A gelatin mask helps against pigmentation. It brightens well, evens out the tone, removes age spots and acne marks. Gradually, the skin acquires a healthy radiant appearance. For preparation, take 1 spoon of Badyaga gel, 1 spoon of fine sea salt (without additives), 5 tablespoons of boiled milk and 2 tablespoons of gelatin. The finished mixture is distributed on the skin for 5-7 minutes.
- For each procedure, a fresh portion is prepared; it is impossible to leave the composition for storage;
- It is recommended to take a glass container for mixing and a wooden spatula or stick. This avoids product oxidation;
- Abrasive particles must be ground as finely as possible so as not to injure the skin;
- Duration of mask exposure: 7-10 minutes for dry and normal skin, 15-20 minutes for combination and oily skin;
- Mechanical cleaning should be done with delicate circular movements. Aggressive rubbing of the skin with coarse particles is excluded, this can lead to microtrauma;
- The composition is removed from the face with water at a comfortable temperature, excess moisture is removed with a soft clean towel, gently applying it to the face.

Additional exfoliation at home significantly improves skin condition. After about a month of regular exfoliating procedures, the face becomes more toned, has a more even tone. The pores are noticeably narrowed, the skin texture is evened out. You can prolong youth if you choose the basic and additional care that suits the type and needs of the skin. Refuse exfoliating masks is not worth it. In addition to the obvious cleansing, they allow the cream to penetrate deeper, which means that the main care will also be more effective.

CARE FOR DRY FACE SKIN.
Dry skin looks very good if it is properly cared for. One has only to break the rules of care, or start treating your skin carelessly - you are guaranteed premature wrinkles.
After all, dry skin is less protected than other types, since the sebaceous glands produce less fat, and the natural protective film on the skin is almost not formed. This becomes especially noticeable with age: the production of fat decreases after 20 years, and even at 30 years of age, dry skin necessarily requires special care.
Cleansing dry skin
Dry skin does not tolerate washing with both hot and cold water: blood vessels constrict from cold, and from hot they expand, so wrinkles appear earlier.
On dry skin, you need to keep as much natural fat as possible, and not wash it off completely when washing your face in the morning, otherwise the skin will become even more sensitive to external influences.
In winter, it is better to use water at room temperature for washing, and in summer - cool; before washing, lightly grease the skin with sour cream or vegetable oil. Washing with water will be easier on the skin if it is previously cleansed with fermented milk products: yogurt, kefir, acidophilus - the substances contained in them soften and nourish dry skin, while normalizing its acid-base balance. You can also lubricate the skin with cream or fat cream 15 minutes before washing.
Before taking a shower or bath, swimming in the sea, swimming in the pool - in general, before taking water procedures, dry skin must be protected - apply a special protective cream, or simply lubricate the face with sour cream, vegetable or unsalted butter. Contrasting washings are very helpful for dry skin, after which a cream with vitamins is applied.
In the evening, it is also better to clean dry skin not with water, but with a cleansing cream, herbal infusion or kefir, and then apply a night cream.
All cleansing products for dry skin should be oil based and not remove natural oils from the skin - for example, special milks or cosmetic creams with moisturizers. Day creams must be selected with a UV filter to protect the skin from radiation that leads to early aging.
It is better to use soap as rarely as possible - both when washing and bathing. You can wash your face and body with oatmeal: for this you need to put them in a linen bag and rub them like a washcloth. The beneficial substances contained in oatmeal will nourish your skin and will not wash away the protective fatty layer from your face.
To cleanse dry skin, use mild lotions - for example, from red rose petals. Dry rose petals (3 cups) are poured with peach or almond oil, so that they are covered with it; then put on a steam bath and hold until the petals lose color. The resulting lotion wipe the face 2-3 times a day.
Dry skin toning
A very important step in the care of any skin is toning. Some women think that it is not necessary to use a tonic, and cleansing is enough, but this is not so. Tonic prepares the skin for the application of other cosmetic products and increases their effectiveness.
After using the tonic, microcirculation in the skin improves, blood rushes to the capillaries, even the smallest ones, and cosmetic care products are absorbed much better - almost by a third. So, refusing tonic, we waste expensive cream, gel or other cosmetics; the tonic enhances their action. It is advisable to use cleansers and tonics of the same cosmetic line - so they can complement each other.
Tonics for dry skin should never contain alcohol, but they should have enough softening and moisturizing ingredients.
You can use glycerin lotion and rose water to tone dry skin - they gently cleanse and moisturize. Fading dry skin can be toned with nettle juice.
It is good if the composition of tonics includes wheat or silk proteins, extracts of algae and wheat germ, marine collagen, and vitamins.
Moisturizing dry skin
After cleansing and toning, dry skin needs to be moisturized. Choose lotions and creams that are easily absorbed and quickly build a protective barrier. Moisturizing cream should be applied in a thin layer, and after 20 minutes remove the residue with a soft cloth.
For dry skin, a warm cream massage is useful - it is done with a heated teaspoon. The spoon is heated in hot water, but not too much, and gently massage the face, neck and décolleté smeared with cream, moving along the massage lines.
Nutrition for dry skin
The nutrition of dry skin also requires a special approach - it is advisable to warm it before applying a nourishing cream. A compress of herbs and flowers will help to do this. You can take a mixture of mint, linden, sage, chamomile - 2 tablespoons, and brew 0.5 liters of boiling water; after 15 minutes, strain, soak gauze folded several times in the infusion, and apply on the face and neck. When the skin warms up, you can apply a nourishing cream.
When choosing a day cream for dry skin, pay attention to its consistency. A light cream that looks like milk is unlikely to contain enough fat, so it is better to choose a cream with a thick consistency. If the cream contains gamma-linoleic acid, then it retains moisture better in dry skin.
To protect dry skin from aggressive environmental influences, you have to make a little more effort than to protect other types of skin.
Protective cream should be applied to the face in any weather, and only then apply decorative cosmetics.
If the skin is dry, and you have to be outside for a long time, including in winter, in the wind and frost, then it is better to learn how to use folk remedies to protect your face - internal lard or goose fat. Fat should be carefully melted, and benzoic acid should be added to it as a preservative - 2 g per 100 g of fat. Before going out for a long time in winter, the face is smeared with a thin layer of this fat. Fat must be stored in the refrigerator.
You also need to be careful about sunbathing: it is best only in the morning, as the sun's rays make the skin even drier and coarser.
Homemade masks for dry skin
Masks for dry skin.
Care for dry skin of the face necessarily involves the use of natural masks - they supply the skin with vitamins, moisturize and nourish it. Such masks must contain natural fats of vegetable or animal origin: sour cream, vegetable oil or cream.
Mask with yolk and chamomile extract moisturizes, nourishes and relieves inflammation. Rub the egg yolk with any vegetable oil (1 tsp), and add chamomile extract (1 tsp) drop by drop. Apply the mask on the face in a thin layer, hold for 15 minutes. You need to remove the mask with weakly brewed tea at room temperature. After the mask, apply your nourishing cream.
Inexpensive and effective mask for dry skin - from white cabbage. First, the skin is wiped with oil - corn or olive, then a hot compress is made from a weak soda solution (1 tsp per 1 liter of water). A slurry of fresh white cabbage is applied to the face for 10-15 minutes, then washed with cool water and a nourishing cream is applied.
A gruel from a small apple mixed with 1 tsp. sour cream, put on the face and neck, after 20 minutes, rinse with warm water.
Strawberry mask with cream: crush the berries, mix with 1 tbsp. cream, rub well, apply on the skin of the face and neck. When the mask begins to dry, apply another layer, and after a while - the third. When the last layer dries, rinse everything with cool water.
Dry skin will be made stronger and more resistant to external influences with masks made from plants with pronounced biostimulating properties.
The simplest mask for dry skin is made from aloe juice - a plant that is found in almost every home. Aloe juice (1 tbsp) is mixed with warmed honey (2 tbsp) and applied to the face for 15 minutes. The complexion from such masks quickly improves, as they stimulate the natural processes in the skin: metabolism, blood flow, the formation of new cells.
It is also good to use a decoction of the Manchurian aralia as a tonic: you can make compresses, lotions and lotions from it.
Within a month, 2 times a week, you can make a mask for dry skin from a mixture of grapefruit, sour cream, carrot juice and rice flour. The pulp or juice of 1 grapefruit is mixed with sour cream (1 tsp), carrot juice (1 tsp) and rice flour (1 tbsp) are added. Everything is mixed well, and applied for half an hour on the face, neck and décolleté. The mask is washed off with water at room temperature, and the skin is lubricated with grapefruit juice - it is not necessary to wash off the juice.
You can also use purchased masks, but you should always remember about folk recipes - you can cook them at home at any time. The main thing is to care for dry skin as long as possible to maintain its health and beauty.
If you want your skin to be healthy, you must, and most importantly, take care of it daily. You have to get used to it, the way we used to brush our teeth!
In addition, a lot depends on diet, on physical activity, and also on whether you get enough sleep.
And if you really want your efforts to bear fruit, you must follow these rules:
- Cleanse your skin in the morning and evening with products appropriate for your skin type.
- Regularly visit a beautician after the age of twenty-five.
- Learn to take care of your skin.
- Avoid the sun.
- Do not smoke.
- Drink 8 glasses of water daily.
- Do a face mask once a week.
- Remember that methodical daily work brings excellent results.
- Exercise daily.
- Neglect of skin care is the main cause of premature aging.
Components of daily skin care for the face and neck.
Morning care.
Cleansing.
Regardless of your skin type, daily skin cleansing is essential. To do this, you should use special cleansing preparations in accordance with the type of skin.
After removing the cleansing preparation from the skin of the face and neck, it is necessary to wipe it with a tonic using a cotton swab.
Applying a nourishing day cream.
The cream is applied to the face and neck with light tapping movements. Day creams are easily absorbed. Excess cream should be removed with a cosmetic tissue.
Applying protective creams.
The cream is applied to pre-moistened face skin. The main task is to protect the skin from environmental influences and UV radiation.
Skin cleansing.
Human skin absorbs oxygen, so it must be absolutely clean. Most women use cosmetics, so it is very important to thoroughly cleanse the skin. Cleansing is the best way to prevent comedones, blackheads, etc. from appearing on the skin.
Fat, covering the skin with a thick layer, attracts dirt well, so it is necessary to remove excess fat daily. Otherwise, problems cannot be avoided. Acne occurs as a result of excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, when the fat clogs the pores. But not only this is the reason why microbes begin to penetrate the skin, there is a constant process of replacing old dead cells with new ones in the skin.
You need a cleanser that effectively unclogs your pores without drying out your skin or disrupting your oil/water mantle.
It is best to use a cleanser made with cactus or lemon extracts.
It is necessary to do every evening with cleansing preparations, depending on the type of skin.
The next step in daily skin care is refreshment, which is necessary after cleansing. With the help of a tonic, the remnants of the cleanser are removed and an even deeper cleansing of the pores is performed.
The tonic also improves blood circulation, especially if it is made with mint and honey. It is ideal for very dry sensitive skin. Tonic firms the skin and tightens pores, especially under the eyes and around the mouth.
Skin nutrition.
With age, under the influence of external and internal causes, as well as due to disruption of the sebaceous glands, the first signs of aging appear on the skin. The skin loses its ability to retain moisture and the loss of nutrients increases. As a result, wrinkles appear on dry areas of the skin, the skin becomes inelastic and dry, prone to peeling.
Our body needs nutrients, just like the skin needs "sustenance" and must be "fed"
It is best to apply a nourishing cream on already thoroughly cleansed and moisturized skin. In order for the cream to be completely absorbed, you should massage your face well with light movements in the direction from the center. This procedure helps to relax tired muscles during the day and improves blood circulation.
The technique of applying the evening cream is the same as the day cream, but it is applied in a thicker layer for 20-30 minutes.
Then the excess cream is removed with a cosmetic tissue.
This evening procedure is best done 2 hours before bedtime.
This is a misleading opinion that since the cream is evening, it can be left on the skin of the face and neck overnight. A layer of cream left on the skin impairs gas exchange in tissues, metabolic products that are not excreted through the skin have a toxic effect on lymphatic drainage and blood circulation in the surface capillary network, resulting in swelling of facial tissues.
Applying a mask.
The skin actively absorbs substances from its surface, therefore, for its proper nutrition, it is necessary to make cosmetic masks that not only cleanse the skin, but also stimulate blood circulation, improve the skin's ability to absorb nutrients. Masks are recommended to be done no more than 2-3 times a week.
Masking technique.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to remove the hair from the face with a special bandage. Then apply a cleansing preparation to the skin of the face in accordance with the type of skin and rub it with light movements of the fingers, massaging the skin for 3-5 minutes. After removing the drug from the skin, apply the scrub, distributing it over the skin of the face and neck. Within 2-3 minutes, massage along the massage lines with light circular movements, leaving it on the skin for 10 minutes. After removing the scrub with a damp sponge, wipe the face with tonic.
After cleansing the skin, a mask is applied to the face, avoiding the area around the eyes and lips, 2 mm in size. (Special creams and masks are used for the eyelids). The procedure for applying the mask is best taken in a supine position for 20-25 minutes, after which the mask is removed with a damp sponge, wiped with tonic and applied day or evening cream, depending on the time of day and skin type.
If you have dry skin, you can use a moisturizing cream instead of a nourishing cream.
A good moisturizer performs several functions at the same time: it prevents the loss of moisture from the surface of the skin, provides it with additional nutrition, facilitating the absorption of oxygen by the skin; forms a protective film on the skin, thus protecting it from environmental influences.
Skin needs to breathe, so moisturizer should not clog pores. It should help the skin maintain its natural balance of fats and moisture, so that it remains tender and soft.
Why does the skin become sensitive?
Skin belonging to any species becomes sensitive due to previous diseases, especially if they have developed into a chronic condition - these can be gastrointestinal disorders, abnormal metabolism, allergic reactions, nervous breakdowns, skin and infectious diseases. And only by solving all the problems related to your health, you can solve the problem of skin sensitivity. It also happens that sensitive skin can become suddenly, and then after a while, suddenly return to normal - this is very often associated with stressful situations.
With improper care, unpleasant transformations often begin - this happens with any type of skin. Try to constantly use not very expensive cosmetics, which contain mineral oils, synthetic dyes, petroleum products, preservatives and surfactants, as your skin will begin to destroy the protective layer called the epidermis. All skin reactions that have arisen in such cases can be considered a cry for help: if you do nothing, other layers will collapse, and then aging will become very fast and, one might say, irreversible.
It also happens that the skin, in itself, is very thin and rather weak in origin - already from youth it does not produce enough fat and protective pigment, it becomes more and more dry and thinner more and more. Then it begins to react to external irritating factors - frost and wind, heat and dust, sunlight, water, food. It is difficult to take care of the skin when it is in this condition; it requires constant support with the use of nourishing, moisturizing and protective creams.
More often these troubles are experienced by women with blond and red hair. However, do not confuse sensitivity with allergies - with redness and itching, after applying some kind of cosmetics, you need to understand that this is sensitivity, and in the case when irritation appears after a while, this means an allergic reaction.
The cause of the problem that has arisen must be determined, since there are rules that must be observed when caring for the skin in order to be able to protect it from external influences, preserve its beauty and youth.
How to clean sensitive skin
Sensitive skin, unlike other types, requires special cleansing. Often it is irritated by ordinary tap water, so you should wash your face with mineral or spring water, but do not use tap water.
Make-up, any pollution should be removed from the skin before going to bed with a soft milk and refreshed with a regular tonic, which will help bring the skin into proper condition in the morning. You can also make tonic at home. Take half a lemon, squeeze the juice and strain it, add glycerin - 1 tsp. and boiled water -50 g, mix the mass and store in the refrigerator. Wipe the massage lines on the face every morning and evening.
Washing with water alone will not suffice, but the skin, with its sensitivity, is almost unable to tolerate soap. In this case, you can use a mixture of milk for washing - for this you need milk - 1 part, honey - 1 part, and vegetable oil - 0.5 parts. Mix all this thoroughly, then apply the prepared mixture in a circular motion on slightly moistened skin, massage it lightly and rinse with lukewarm water. For this washing, you can use low-fat sour cream or cream.
Scrub for sensitive skin is contraindicated, but if you make a scrub mask of oatmeal flakes, it will not do any harm, on the contrary, it will cleanse and soften the skin, nourish it with vitamins and microelements. Take 1 tbsp. flakes, pour boiling water over it, cover and leave for 15 minutes. Put a warm mask on your face, massage for a minute, leave for another 10 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Nutrition and hydration
Nourishing and moisturizing masks should be prepared with ingredients that are easy to rinse off - masks that form a film or harden can cause irritation. Before preparing and applying the mask, you need to find out if you are allergic to the ingredients present? Therefore, they must be tried individually and in small quantities.
A mask made from egg yolk, milk and vegetable oil - only 2 tsp each, carrot juice - 1 tsp, lemon juice - half a tsp, will soothe and moisturize the skin. Wash it off with a decoction of chamomile.
If you have been in the sun for a long time, the skin can be moisturized and soothed with a peach or apricot mask. You will need one large peach or pieces of 3 apricots. Remove the skin from them, knead and put on your face for 15 minutes. Wash off with warm mineral or spring water.
White cabbage mixed with olive oil has a good moisturizing effect. Grind the leaves in a blender and apply on a face smeared with olive oil. It is better to do this while lying down. Wash off after 15 minutes as described in the previous recipe.
If the skin is flaky and inflamed, a rice starch and milk mask will soothe it. Mix milk with glycerin - 1 tsp each, add starch and gently apply on face. Wash off after 15 minutes with lime tincture or room water. Inflamed areas can be smeared with this mixture at night, which should be washed off in the morning.
A prunes mask will help tone and relieve inflammation - pour 3 berries with boiling water, insist for half an hour, knead, add honey, oatmeal, stir and apply on the face for 20 meters. Wash off with weak tea or herbal decoction.
At night, sensitive skin will need a nourishing cream containing vitamins A and E, and evening masks are only moisturizing, nourishing, toning and refreshing at the same time.
Sensitive skin requires maintaining the optimal humidity of the room - for this there are humidifiers, indoor flowers, corners with a waterfall, aquariums. And you can just humidify the room with a spray bottle.
